DISCLAIMER

§1 Content Warning

The free and publicly accessible content of this website has been created with the utmost care. However, the provider of this website assumes no liability for the accuracy and timeliness of the free and publicly accessible journalistic guides and news provided. Articles identified by name reflect the opinions of the respective author and not necessarily the opinions of the provider. Merely accessing the free and publicly accessible content does not establish any contractual relationship between the user and the provider, as there is no intention to create a legal obligation on the part of the provider.

§2 External Links

This website contains links to third-party websites (“external links”). The respective operators of these websites are responsible for their content. The provider checked the external links for any legal violations when they were first established. No legal violations were evident at that time. 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 endorses the content behind the reference or link. Continuous monitoring of external links is not feasible for the provider without concrete indications of legal violations. However, if any legal violations become known, such external links will be deleted immediately.

§3 Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights

The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and intellectual property law. Any use not permitted under German copyright and intellectual property law requires the prior written consent of the provider or the respective rights holder. This applies particularly to reproduction, editing, translation, storage, processing, or reproduction of content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Third-party content and rights are identified as such. Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of individual content or complete pages is not permitted and is punishable by law. The creation of copies and downloads for personal, private, and non-commercial use is permitted.

Displaying this website within external frames is only allowed with written permission.
