Imprint & AGB

1. Content of the online offer
The author assumes no liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are fundamentally excluded, unless the author can be proven to have acted intentionally or with gross negligence. All offers are non-binding and subject to change. The author expressly reserves the right to change, add to or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer, or to temporarily or permanently stop publication thereof without prior notice.

2. References and links
In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) that lie outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would only come into force if the author had knowledge of the contents and it would be technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the event of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were set, no illegal content was apparent on the linked pages. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. He therefore hereby expressly distances himself from all content on all linked pages that were changed after the links were set. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author’s own website as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information, the provider of the page to which reference was made is solely liable, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

3. Copyright and trademark law
The author endeavors to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts created by himself or to use license-free graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts. All brands and trademarks mentioned within the website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for published objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Duplication or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author.

4. Data protection
If the website offers the option to enter personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses), the disclosure of this data by the user takes place on an expressly voluntary basis. The use and payment of all services offered is permitted – as far as technically possible and reasonable – without providing such data or by providing anonymized data or a pseudonym.

5. Legal validity of this disclaimer
This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet offer from which this page was referred. If parts or individual formulations of this text do not, no longer or not completely correspond to the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected in their content and validity.

6. Access data/server log files
The provider (or its web space provider) collects data about every access to the offer (so-called server log files). The access data includes:

Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently check the log data if there is reasonable suspicion of illegal use based on concrete evidence.

7. Handling of personal data
Personal data is information that can be used to identify a person, i.e. information that can be traced back to a person. This includes the name, email address or telephone number. But data about preferences, hobbies, memberships or which websites someone has viewed also count as personal data.

Personal data will only be collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is permitted by law or if the users consent to the data collection.

8. Contact
When contacting the provider (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), the user’s details are stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise.

9. Newsletter
We use the newsletter to inform you about us and our offers. If you would like to receive the newsletter, we require a valid e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. This data is only used for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties. When you register for the newsletter, we save your IP address and the date of registration. This storage serves solely as proof in the event that a third party misuses an email address and registers to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorised person.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. The cancellation can be made via a link in the newsletters themselves, in your profile area or by sending a message to the contact options above.

10. Integration of third-party services and content
It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, is integrated into this online offering. This always assumes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. If we are aware of this, we will inform users about it.
