- Website content
The author does not guarantee that the information provided is up-to-date, correct, complete or error-free. The author will not accept any liability for any claims relating to damages of a material or non-pecuniary nature arising from the use or non-use of the information presented or from the use of erroneous and incomplete information, unless the author is shown to have acted wilfully or with gross negligence. Website content is subject to change and is not binding.
The author explicitly reserves the right to alter, expand or delete sections of pages or the entire content without specific notice or to withdraw publication temporarily or permanently.
- Links
Liability for direct or indirect links to third-party websites outside the realm of the author’s responsibility can only take effect if the author was aware of the content and technically able within reason to prevent the use of any unlawful content.
The author explicitly declares that when the link was created there was no recognisable illegal content on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the present and future design or content or copyright for the linked pages. Consequently he herewith distances himself explicitly from any content on any linked pages that was altered after the link was created. This statement applies to all links within the author’s website and also to third-party entries in any visitors’ books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. The liability for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content and in particular for damages arising from the use or non-use of information presented in this manner is assumed solely by the provider of the website to which rerefence was made and not by the person who merely refers to the published material by means of a link.

In all published material the author has sought to respect the copyright attached to illustrations, sound recordings, video clips and texts, to make use of his own illustrations, sound recordings, video clips and texts or to draw on illustrations, sound recordings, video clips and texts for which no royalties are due.
All trademarks and registered marks named within the website and under certain circumstances protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of whatever trademark legislation is applicable and to the proprietary rights of the registered owner. The mere fact that a trademark is named does not imply that trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties.
The copyright for published items generated by the author of this website rests solely with the author. These illustrations, sound recordings, video clips and texts may not be reproduced or used in other digital or printed publications without the express consent of the author.

Where technically feasible and reasonable, users are permitted to take up and pay for all services on offer without providing such data or by providing anonymised data or a pseudonym.
