Data protection & conditions of use
1. Limitation of liability
The content of this website is compiled with the greatest possible care. However, the provider does not warrant that the content provided is correct, complete and up to date. The website content is used at the user’s own risk. Contributions identified by name in each case reflect the author’s opinion and not necessarily the provider’s opinion. Merely 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'). Third-party websites are subject to the liability of the respective providers. When initially establishing the external links the provider checked the third-party content for any infringements of rights. No infringements were apparent at that time. The provider has no control over the current and future design and content of the linked pages. Setting up external links does not mean that the provider adopts the linked content. The provider cannot reasonably be expected to constantly check external links unless there are specific indications of infringements. However, the external links concerned will be deleted immediately if infringements are discovered. 3. Industrial Property and Copyright Protection.
3. Industrial Property and Copyright Protection

Third-party content and rights shall be identified as such. Unauthorised reproduction or communication or individual content items or complete pages is not permitted and will result in prosecution. Only copying and downloading for personal, private, non-commercial use are permitted.
This website shall not be presented in third-party frames without written permission.
