1.  Limitation of liability

Contents of this website

The contents of this website have been compiled with the greatest possible care. However the provider does not assume any liability for the correctness, completeness or currency of the contents. The use of the accessible contents is at the user’s own risk. Contributions by authors identified by name represent the opinion of those persons and are not necessarily the opinion of the provider.

Availability of the website

The provider will do his best to offer the service without interruptions as far as this is possible. However the possibility of downtime cannot be entirely excluded even when great care is taken. The provider reserves the right to change or withdraw his offer at any time.

External links

This website includes connections to the website of third parties (“external links”). These websites are the responsibility of the operators thereof. The provider checked the contents of these connections when they were first entered to determine whether there were any possible irregularities or infringements. At the time none were obvious. The provider does not have any influence on the current or the future design or on the contents of the connected sites. The inclusion of external links does not mean that the provider accepts responsibility for the material included in the links. The provider is not able to continuously monitor these external links and can only act if he receives firm reports of infringements. However on receipt of notice of any infringements, such external links will be immediately deleted.

Advertisements

The author concerned is responsible for the contents of the advertisement just as he is for the contents of the rest of the website. The presentation of an advertisement does not signify approval by the provider.

No contractual relationship

No contractual relationship is established between the user and the provider through the use of the provider's website. Also no actual or implied contractual claims in this respect may arise against the provider.

The following limitation of liability is included just in case use of the website might, in particular circumstances, lead to a contractual relationship: The provider is only liable in the event of an act of firm intent or an act of gross negligence as well as for default in an essential contractual duty (principal duty). The provider is subject to a limitation of the extent of compensation to typical contractual damage of an extent which could be reasonably foreseen and which arises from neglect of principal duties by him or by one of his legal representatives or assistants. The provider is not liable for neglect of duties, which are not principal duties. Any liability for damages, which falls within the scope of protection through a guarantee or assurance given by the provider, as well as a liability for claims due to product liability law and damages arising from injury or the loss of life, remains unaffected by this provision.

2. Copyright
