(1) Limitation on liability
Content of this website. The content of this website was prepared with great care. However, provider will take no responsibility for the correctness, completeness and up-to-datedness of the contents provided. Using the contents shall be at the user’s own risk. Contributions giving the author’s name reflect the opinion of the relevant author and not that of the provider.
Availability of website
Provider will make all efforts to provide the service for use uninterruptedly to the extent possible. Despite all care downtimes cannot be excluded. Provider reserves the right to change or suspend his offer at any time.
External links
This website holds links to websites of third parties (external links). These websites are subject to the liability of the operator concerned. Upon initial linking provider checked the external content for any violations of law. At this time no violation has been found. Provider has no influence on the current and future presentation and content of the linked sites. Setting external links does not mean the provider agrees with the content of the reference or link. A regular review of external links by provider for any violations of law without concrete indication of the same, is not acceptable for provider. If any violation becomes known to provider, he will cancel such external link forthwith.
Advertisements
Responsibility for the content of advertisements shall lie with the author of the same. This shall also be applicable to the content of the advertised website. The display of the advertisement shall not be deemed acceptance by the provider.
No contractual relationship
Using the provider’s website shall not establish a contractual relationship between the user and the provider. Insofar no contractual or quasi-contractual claims will arise towards provider. Should, however, the use of this website result in a contractual relationship, the following limitation on liability shall apply as a precaution: Provider shall be liable for any wilful or coarsely negligent act and for breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation). Provider shall be liable by limiting to replacement of typical damage foreseeable upon contract conclusion, for any damage resulting from slightly negligent breach of cardinal obligations by him or one of his legal representatives or agents. In case of slightly negligent breach of secondary obligations being no cardinal obligations, provider shall not be liable. Liability for damage falling into the scope of protection of a warranty granted by provider and the liability for claims pursuant to the Product Liability Act and damage resulting from personal injury, loss of life or health shall remain unaffected by the above.
