Liability for content

As a service provider, we are liable for the content of this website under general legislation pursuant to sec. 7 para. 1 German Telemedia Act (TMG). Pursuant to secs. 8 to 10 TMG, we as a service provider are not required to monitor third-party information that has been transmitted or saved nor to look into circumstances that may indicate illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information pursuant to general legislation shall remain hereby unaffected. Liability concerning this matter shall only apply if we have gained knowledge of a concrete legal infringement. We shall immediately remove such content as soon as we have become aware that there has been a legal infringement.

Liability for links

Our offer contains links to third-party websites, over the contents of which we have no influence. We therefore do not assume any liability for such third-party content. The provider or operator of third-party websites remains liable for the content of those linked sites.

We reviewed the websites to which we link for possible legal infringement at the time the link was created. We were unable to identify any illegal content at such time. However, we cannot reasonably be expected to constantly monitor the content of linked websites without clear indication of infringement. We shall immediately remove such links upon gaining knowledge of any infringement.

This website contains an “activate IP anonymization” function. Google uses this function to shorten your IP address before it is sent on for users located in member states of the European Union or in other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will your complete IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there.

Our website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of sensitive data, e.g. inquiries that you submit to us in our function as the operator of this website. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change from “http://” to “https://” in the address bar of your browser and the lock symbol displayed there.

Once SSL encryption has been activated, data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
