The contents of this website have been edited with utmost care. The provider does not, however, accept any liability for the accuracy, completeness, and currency of the contents provided. The use of the contents of the website is at the sole risk of the user. Contributions marked by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and not necessarily that of the provider.

2. External links
This website contains links to the websites of third parties (“external links”). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective providers. Upon the first acceptance of the external links, the foreign contents were reviewed for any violations of the law. No such legal violations were apparent at this time. The provider has no influence whatsoever on the current and future production and the contents of the linked sites. The inclusion of external links does not mean that the provider agrees with the contents expressed in the link. Without an indication of a legal violation, the provider cannot be reasonably expected to monitor the external links. In the event that a legal violation is reported, however, the external link in question shall be removed from the website immediately. 3. Copyright and intellectual property rights
