The content of our web pages has been created with the utmost care. However, we can provide no guarantee for the accuracy, completeness and actuality of the content. As service providers we are, according to § 7 para.1 TMG, responsible for our own content on these pages complying with relevant laws. However, according to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, we are as service providers not obliged to supervise or under certain circumstances to search information saved or transmitted by external parties which indicates an illegal act. The obligations to remove or bar the use of information according to general law remain unaffected by this. Responsibility concerning this is, however, only possible after the point at which a concrete infringement has been recognised. Once an infringement has been recognised, we will remove the particular content immediately.

Our offer contains links to external websites of third parties. We have no influence upon the content of these sites. Therefore we cannot provide any guarantee for this foreign content. In each instance, the particular provider or manager of the websites is responsible for the content of the linked sites. The linked sites were checked at the time of linking for any possible statutory violations. No illegal content was recognisable at the time of the linking. However, a permanent watch over the linked sites is not reasonable without concrete criteria for an infringement. Once an infringement has been recognised, we will removed the particuar links immediately.

The content and works produced by the site manager on these pages are subject to German copyright. The duplication, editing, distribution and any type of utilisation outside the copyright boundaries require the written agreement of the individual author or producer. Downloads and copies of this site are allowed for private but not for commercial use. Insofar as contents from this website were not created by the operator, third-party copyrights are respected. In particular, contributions from third parties are denoted as such. Nevertheless, if you should become aware of a copyright violation we request that you notify us accordingly.

Should personal information (e.g. names, addresses or e-mail addresses) be collected, this will always take place, if possible, on a voluntary basis. The information will not be handed to third parties without your explicit permission.

We point out that data conveyance over the internet (e.g. by e-mail communication) can present security gaps. A water-tight protection of data from access by third-parties is not possible.

The use by third parties of contact details published under the contact-pages (required by law) for the sending of advertisement and info-material which has not been expressly requested is hereby expressly forbidden. The managers of the sites reserve the right to take legal steps in the case of the non-requested sending of advertising material, for example via spam mail.

This website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins are marked by a Facebook logo or the "Like Button". Find an overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. If you request a page of our website, which contains such a plugin, your browser will build up a direct connection to the servers of Facebook.

By integrating the plugin, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or if you are not logged into Facebook currently.

If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our website directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by pressing the Like Button or by leaving a comment, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and is stored there. 

If a user calls up our website, a direct link can be established between the user′s browser and Facebook′s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by Facebook and included by it in the web page. When you access the plugins, Facebook is notified of the fact that the user has called up the corresponding pages on our website. If the user is logged in to Facebook, your visit can be assigned to your Facebook account. If the user interacts with the plugins, for example by clicking "Like", or entering a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from the user′s browser directly to Facebook and stored by it. The reason for and scope of the data acquisition and information about the way in which the data is processed and used by Facebook, as well as your rights in this respect and settings options for protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook′s privacy policy at http://en-gb.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Collection and disclosure of information:
The Google +1 button is a way for you to share information publicly with the world. The Google +1 button helps you and others to receive personalised content from Google and its partners. The fact that you +1’d something will be recorded by Google, along with information about the page you were viewing when you clicked on the +1 button. Your +1’s may appear to others as an annotation with your profile name and photo in Google services such as in search results or on your Google Profile or elsewhere on websites and ads on the Internet. Google will record information about your +1 activity in order to provide you and other users with a better experience on Google services. In order to use the Google +1 button, you need to have a public Google Profile visible to the world, which at a minimum includes the name you chose for the profile. That name will be used across Google services and in some cases it may replace another name you’ve used when sharing content under your Google Account. Google may display your Google Profile identity to people who have your email address or other identifying information.

Use of the collected information:
In addition to the above-described uses, the information you provide to us is used subject to Google's main Privacy Policy. Google may share aggregate statistics related to users’ +1 activity with the public, our users, and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or connected sites.

On our websites, functions of the Twitter service are integrated. These functions are being offered by Twitter, Inc. (795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). The use of Twitter and the “Re-Tweet” function links the websites you visit with your Twitter account and makes this information available to other users. Data is transferred to Twitter in the process. 

We want to make you aware that we as a provider of the pages have no knowledge of the content of the transferred data or of its use by Twitter. You can find more information about the data privacy declaration of Twitter at https://twitter.com/privacy.
