Online Content

The author assumes no liability whatsoever for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. The author shall be held harmless for any and all liability claims against the author for material or intangible damage arising from the use or non-use of the information provided, or from the use of defective and incomplete information unless the author's intentional or grossly negligent fault is proven. All content is subject to change without notice and is non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to modify, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire content without prior advance notice, or to suspend or terminate publication.

Referrals and Links 

With respect to direct or indirect referrals to third-party Internet pages ("links") outside the author's area of responsibility, liability would come into force only if the author were aware of the content and if he/she were reasonably and technically able to prevent the use of illegal content. The author therefore expressly declares that the respective linked pages were free from illegal content at the time the links were placed. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current or future design or on the content of the linked/connected pages. Therefore, the author shall be exculpated from any damages arising from the content of any linked/connected pages that have been modified since the link has been placed. This applies to any links and referrals placed within the company's Internet content as well as to postings or messages to guestbooks, discussion boards and mailing lists set up by the author. Solely the provider of the page linked to shall be liable for illegal, defective or incomplete content and particularly for damage arising from the use or non-use of such information; the provider of the page merely linking to the respective publication shall not be held liable for any such damage.

Adverts and Sponsored Links

Clicking on any such adverts will send you to the advertisers website through a referral program which may use cookies and will tracks the number of referrals sent from this website. This may include the use of cookies which may in turn be saved on your computers hard drive. Users should therefore note they click on sponsored external links at their own risk and this website and it's owners cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any external links mentioned.

Social Media Platforms

Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that this website and it's owners participate on are custom to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policies held with each social media platform respectively.
