1. Liability for contents
The content of this website has been created with the greatest possible care. However, we cannot assume any liability for the completeness, up-to-dateness or accuracy of the content provided. According to §§ 8 - 10 TMG, we as a service provider are not obliged to monitor third-party information that has been transmitted or stored, or to investigate indications and circumstances that indicate the illegality of activities and information. An obligation on our part to block the use of content within the framework of general laws always remains unaffected by this. However, this liability only comes into question at the moment we become aware of a specific infringement of rights. Should we become aware of any legal infringements, we must remove the relevant content immediately. As a service provider, our liability for our own content is governed by general law.
2. Liability for links
This website contains links to third-party websites - so-called external links. The content of these external links is beyond our control, so we cannot accept any liability for such content. The responsibility always lies with the respective operator of the external sites. No legal offences were apparent at the time the external links were created. We cannot reasonably be expected to permanently monitor external content for legal violations without specific indications. Should we become aware of any legal violations, we will remove the corresponding external links immediately.
3. Copyright/trademark law
German copyright and ancillary copyright law applies to the content published by the provider on this website. If the duplication, processing, distribution or any other type of utilisation is outside the scope of German copyright and ancillary copyright law, the written consent of the respective creator is required. Unauthorised copying or downloading of these pages is only permitted for private use and not for commercial use. Unless we as the operator also act as the creator of the content, the copyrights of third parties are respected. We always endeavour to identify such content as third-party content. In the event that you notice a copyright infringement despite careful work on our part, please inform us accordingly so that the removal of this content can be arranged immediately.
4. Data protection
The use of this website is regularly possible without providing personal data. Should such personal data nevertheless be collected on this website, this is done in the form of voluntary data entry by the user. Personal data is not passed on to third parties; it is only used for the purpose requested by the user. If personal data is collected on our website, this data is always collected in accordance with the provisions of the data protection laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. If personal data is collected, you can find the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data in this data protection declaration. Please note that despite the utmost care, data transmission on the Internet is always associated with risks based on security vulnerabilities. The unrestricted protection of data is therefore impossible. We only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law. Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
5. Data transmission

For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
6. Cookies
Our website uses cookies for individual functions. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system.

You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time.
