Liability
1. Content of the online offer

The author does not warrant for the up-to-datedness, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided.

Any liability claims against the author, which refer to material or non-material damage, and which may be caused by the usage or non-usage of the information provided or, respectively, by the usage of any incorrect or incomplete information, is generally excluded unless in cases of evidenced wilful or gross negligence on the author's side.
All offers are non-binding and without obligation. The author expressly reserves the right to modifications, amendments, or cancellations of the offer, in whole or in part, or to the temporary or final discontinuation of this publication without any prior notice.

2. References and links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external Internet pages (“links”) which do not fall under the author’s sphere of responsibility, the author’s liability is limited solely to those instances where the author was aware of the illegal content and it would be technically feasible and reasonable for the author to prevent visitors to this site from accessing illegal content.

The author herewith explicitly declares that at the time of setting the link, no unlawful content could be detected on the pages linked. The author shall have no influence whatsoever on the current and future creative design, contents or copyright of the linked pages. He therefore explicitly disassociates himself herewith from all the content of all the linked pages that have been changed after setting the links. This is true for all links within his own website as well as for postings and outside contributions to the guest books, discussion forums, and mailing lists which the author has created. The author, who simply provided the links to the respective publications, is not liable for any and all illegal, erroneous, or incomplete content and especially for damages, which might occur due to the usage or non-usage of such information provided, but rather the author of the respective pages is liable for all content and results thereof.

3. Copyright

The author endeavours to observe the copyrights of the graphs, audio and video files and files/sequences and texts in all the publications, to use his own graphs, audio and video files/sequences and texts, or to have recourse to graphs, audio and video files/sequences and texts requiring no license. The copyright for any published items produced by the author himself shall remain solely with the author of these pages. Duplication or utilization of such graphs, audio and video files/sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications shall be prohibited unless the author has granted his explicit consent.

4. E-Mail communication and development of the client-attorney relationship
Attention is drawn to the fact that encrypted communication via email is unsecured and that liability for transmitted notifications, in particular for keeping of a term, shall be excluded. Client –attorney relationships first arise through a declaration of acceptance by the law firm. In the case of the encrypted initial transmission of emails, consent to encrypted communication is assumed.
There shall be no liability for information issued via the telephone.
