Liability for content

The content of our website has been prepared with the utmost care. However, we cannot guarantee that the content is accurate, complete or up to date. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with § 7(1) TMG (German Telemedia Act) and general law. According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, however, we as a service provider are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances indicating illegal activity. This does not affect obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law. However, liability in this respect is only possible from the time we become aware of a specific infringement. As soon as we become aware of any such infringements, we will remove the content concerned immediately.

Liability for links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no control. We therefore cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. No illegal content was discernible at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. As soon as we become aware of any infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

Copyright

The content and works created by the website operators on these pages are subject to German copyright law. Contributions by third parties are identified as such. Reproduction, editing, distribution and any kind of use beyond the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this website are permitted for private, non-commercial use only. The website operators always endeavor to respect the copyrights of others and to use works they have created themselves or that are license-free.

Data protection

Insofar as personal data (for example, name, address or email addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Wherever possible, our offerings and services can always be used without providing personal data. Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. We hereby expressly object to the use of contact details published in the context of the legal notice obligation by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.
