Disclaimer – legal information
§ 1 Warning regarding content
The free and freely accessible content of this website has been created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider of this website accepts no liability for the accuracy and currency of the free and freely accessible journalistic guides and news provided. Contributions labelled by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and not always the opinion of the provider. No contractual relationship is established between the user and the provider simply by accessing the free and freely accessible content; in this respect, the provider's intention to be legally bound is lacking.
§ 2 External links
This website contains links to third-party websites (‘external links’). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. When the external links were first created, the provider checked the third-party content for any legal violations. No legal offences were apparent at that time. The provider has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not mean that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link as its own. The provider cannot reasonably be expected to constantly monitor external links without concrete evidence of legal violations. However, such external links will be deleted immediately if we become aware of any legal violations.
§ 3 Copyright and ancillary copyright law
The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and ancillary copyright law. Any use not authorised by German copyright and ancillary copyright law requires the prior written consent of the provider or 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. Third-party content and rights are labelled as such. The unauthorised reproduction or distribution of individual contents or complete pages is not permitted and is 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 only permitted with written authorisation.
§ 4 Special terms of use
Insofar as special conditions for individual uses of this website deviate from the aforementioned paragraphs, this will be expressly indicated at the appropriate point. In this case, the special terms of use apply in each individual case.
