Liability for content

The content of these pages was created with care. However, we cannot guarantee that it is correct, complete or up to date. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages under general law. Under §§ 7 to 10 DDG, however, we are not obliged to monitor third-party information that is transmitted or stored, or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. This does not affect obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law. Liability in this respect is only possible from the time we become aware of a specific infringement; as soon as we become aware of such infringements, we will remove the content in question immediately.

Liability for links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites whose content we cannot influence. We therefore cannot accept any liability for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time the links were created; no illegal content was apparent. Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of an infringement. As soon as we become aware of any infringements, we will remove such links immediately.
