(1) Limitation of liability

Content of website
The content of this website has been drafted with the greatest possible care. Nevertheless, the provider accepts no liability for the correctness and completeness of the content presented or whether it is up-to-date. Use of abrufbare content is at the risk of the user. Items ascribed to a specific person reflect the opinion of the author in question and not necessarily the opinion of the provider.

Availability of the website
The provider will make every effort to ensure that the service is available without interruption. However, even if the greatest possible care is taken, downtime cannot be ruled out. The provider reserves the right to change or suspend its service offer at any time.

External links
This website contains links to the websites of third parties (“external links”). These websites are governed by the liability of the operator in question. On first consulting the external links, the provider verified the third-party content to ensure that there are no infringements of the law. At that time, no infringements of the law were apparent. The provider has no influence on the current and future presentation of information or on the content of the linked websites. The reference to external links does not mean that the provider endorses the content underlying the reference or link. It cannot be assumed that the provider constantly verifies these external links without specific indications of infringements of the law. However, if the provider becomes aware of infringements of the law, these external links will be deleted without delay.

No contractual relationship
Use of the provider’s website does not create any contractual relationship between the user and the provider. Inasmuch, no contractual or quasi-contractual rights vis-à-vis the provider arise. In the event that use of the website were nevertheless to lead to a contractual relationship, the following limitation of liability applies exclusively by reason of precaution: the provider accepts liability for cases of intent or gross negligence as well as for any infringement of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation). The provider is liable for any damage based on a slightly negligent infringement of cardinal obligations by itself or by its legal representative or agent with a limitation to replacement of the damage as foreseeable on conclusion of the contract and typical for the contract. The provider is not liable for damage in the event of infringement of slightly negligent obligations which are not cardinal obligations. Liability for damage which falls within the ambit of a guarantee or assurance given by the provider as well as liability for claims based on the product liability law and damage caused by injury to life, limb or health is unaffected by this provision.
