Privacy Policy

Disclaimer

The contents of our pages were created with great care. However, we cannot guarantee that the content is correct, complete, or up-to-date. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages according to Section 7, Paragraph 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). However, according to Sections 8 to 10 of the TMG, as a service provider, we are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information according to general laws remain unaffected. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the point in time at which knowledge of a specific infringement of the law is known. As soon as we become aware of any violations of the law, we will remove this content immediately.

Liability for links

Our website contains links to external websites of third parties, over whose content we have no control. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these external contents. 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 of linking. Illegal content was not identifiable at the time of linking.

However, a permanent control of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. As soon as we become aware of any infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

To the extent that the content on this page was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. In particular, third-party content is identified as such. If you still become aware of a copyright infringement, please provide us with the corresponding information. Upon notification of such violations, we will promptly remove the content.

This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. The use of contact data published within the framework of imprint obligations by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited.
