1. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

The content of this website is created with the utmost care. However, the provider does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided. The use of the website’s content is at the user’s own risk. Contributions identified by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and do not always represent the opinion of the provider or the editorial team. Simply using the provider’s website does not establish any contractual relationship between the user and the provider.

2. EXTERNAL LINKS

This website contains links to third-party websites (“external links”). These websites are the responsibility of their respective operators. When the external links were initially created, the provider checked the external content for any legal violations. At that time, no legal violations were evident. The provider has no influence on the current and future design or content of the linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not imply that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link as its own. Continuous monitoring of external links is not feasible without concrete indications of legal violations. However, if the provider becomes aware of any legal violations, such external links will be promptly removed.
