privacy protection

This is an automatic translation of the German legal disclaimers and privacy protection terms. We apologize for any inconvenience.

From point 4 onwards, you will find information on the collection and use of personal data when using our website. In doing so, we observe the data protection law applicable in Germany. You can access this declaration at any time on our website.

1. warning notice on contents
The free and freely accessible contents of this website have been created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider of this website does not guarantee that the information provided is correct and up-to-date, free of charge and freely accessible. Contributions marked by name reflect the opinion and information of the respective author and not always those of the provider. The free and freely accessible contents alone do not create any contractual relationship between the user and the provider, in this respect there is a lack of the provider's intention to make a legal commitment.

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 has checked the external links for possible legal violations at the time of the first connection of the external links. At that time, no violations of the law were evident. The provider has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. The setting of external links does not mean that the provider adopts the contents behind the reference or link as his own. The provider cannot reasonably be expected to constantly monitor the external links without concrete indications of legal infringements. However, if we become aware of any violations of the law, such external links will be deleted immediately.
Such links may also contain contributions of third parties by name or profiles created by them. Here, the provider has only limited control options available to him, in particular he is heavily dependent on references to legal infringements by users.

3. copyrights and ancillary copyrights
The contents published on this website are subject to German copyright and ancillary copyright law. Any use not permitted by German copyright and ancillary copyright law requires the prior written consent of the provider or the respective rights holder. This applies in particular to the duplication, editing, translation, storage, processing or reproduction of content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Contents and rights of third parties are marked as such. The unauthorized duplication or distribution of individual contents or complete pages is not permitted and punishable by law. Only the production of copies and downloads for personal, private and non-commercial use is permitted.

The presentation of this website in external frames is requires written permission.
