1. Liability

The content of this website is always created with the greatest of care. However, the provider gives no warranty that the content provided is accurate, complete and up to date. The content of the website shall be utilised at the user’s own risk. Content attributed to a named author represents the opinion of that author and does not always reflect the opinion of the provider. No contract whatsoever is established between the user and provider solely as a result of using the provider’s website.

2. External links

This website contains links to third-party websites (“external links”). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. The provider checked the third-party content for possible legal infringements at the time when the links were placed. No legal infringements were apparent at that time. The provider has no influence whatsoever on the present or future design or content of linked sites. The inclusion of external links does not mean that the provider is responsible for or endorses the content linked to. It would be unreasonable to expect the provider to constantly check these external links unless there are specific indications of a legal violation. Should any such legal violations be found, however, such external links shall be deleted immediately.
