Liability for Content

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general law pursuant to Section 7, paragraph 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). However, pursuant to sections 8 to 10 of the TMG, we are not under obligation to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or investigate circumstances pointing to illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the point in time at which knowledge of a specific infringement of law is obtained. Upon becoming aware of corresponding infringements of law, we will remove this content immediately.

Liability for Links

Our offer contains links to external third-party websites, whose contents we cannot influence. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these third-party contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the contents of the linked pages.

The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking.

If we become aware of legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.
