Protection of Privacy and Liability

1. Content of our pages

The authors take no responsibility for the information provided on our pages being correct, up-to-date or complete. We accept no responsibility for the content or information provided on our website. This also includes damages of material or immaterial kind, which were caused by the use or disuse of the presented information or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information. In general, liability claims are excluded, provided that no demonstrably intentional or negligent fault exists on the part of the authors. All offers are subject to confirmation and non-binding. The authors reserve the right to change parts of the pages or the entire offer without separate announcement.

2. References and Links

When direct or indirect references to external internet pages (“links”) are provided which lie outside the authors’ area of responsibility, we take no liability. Liability would only apply, in case the authors of this website were aware of the use of illicit content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for them to prevent its use. The authors therefore explicitly declare that at the time of linking the corresponding linked pages were free of illegal content. The authors have no influence on current and future design and on the contents of linked pages. Therefore, they distance themselves expressly from all contents of all linked pages which were changed after the link setting. This statement applies to all links and references within our internet offer as well as for external entries in guest books furnished by the author, discussion forums and mailing lists. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and in particular for damages arising from the use or disuse of such offered information, only the provider of the linked page is liable.

3. Copyright and Trademarks

The authors strive to respect the copyright of graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in all publications, to use self-created graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts or to access license-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. Every third-party protected brand and trademark mentioned in this internet offer, is unrestrictedly subject to the provisions of the valid trademark law and the ownership rights of the registered owners. The mere mentioning doesn’t lead to the conclusion that trademarks by third-party rights are not protected. The copyright for published objects created by the authors remains solely with the authors of the pages. Any duplication or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is only permitted with the expressed consent of the authors.

4. Protection of Privacy

– EDITING OF THIS SECTION IS UNDER WAY –

If the possibility of entering personal or business data (E-Mail addresses, names, addresses) exists within our internet offer, the disclosure of this data by the user takes place on a voluntary basis. The use of all offered services is – as far as technically possible and reasonable – possible also without indication of such data or under specification of anonymized data or an alias. We use the web analysis service Piwik in order to improve our pages. This tool uses cookies, small text files that are deposited on your computer. You can block cookies within your browser settings.

5. Medical Content

It is explicitly pointed out that the content of our internet pages is exclusively intended for information purposes. It shouldn’t be used for development of self-diagnoses or for the selection and application of treatments. The information presented here, does not substitute professional advice or treatment by trained and accredited doctors in any way. We urge all users with health problems to consult a doctor in case of need. If you have questions concerning your health status, ask your doctor of confidence instead of creating a self-medication.

6. Legal Validity of this Exclusion of Liability

This disclaimer is considered to be part of the internet offer from which this page was referred to. In case, parts or individual formulations of this text do not/no longer or not completely correspond to the valid legal situation, the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected in content and validity.
