Liability Disclaimer

Liability for Content

As a digital service provider pursuant to Section 5 DDG and Section 7 DDG, I am responsible for my own content on these pages under general statutory law. I assume no warranty for the correctness, completeness, or timeliness of provided content, unless mandatory statutory liability applies (notably in cases of intent or gross negligence).

For digital content submitted by users or third parties, the liability privileges of Art. 4 to 6 DSA in conjunction with Section 7 DDG apply; in particular, I am not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored external information or actively investigate circumstances indicating unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block information under general statutory law remain unaffected upon receiving concrete notice of an infringement.

Liability for External Links

This website contains hyperlinks to external third-party websites over whose contents I have no influence. I cannot assume any liability for external third-party content; responsibility lies always with the respective operator under Art. 4 to 6 DSA and general civil law. Linked pages were verified for possible statutory violations at the time of linking without apparent infringement. Permanent surveillance of external links without specific indications of illegality is not required under civil tort principles (Sections 1004, 823 BGB).

Upon becoming aware of legal infringements, corresponding external links will be purged immediately.
