**Disclaimer – Legal Notices**

**§ 1 Content Disclaimer**
The free and freely accessible content of this website has been created with the utmost care. However, the provider of this website assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and timeliness of the free and freely accessible journalistic guides and news provided. Articles marked with names reflect the opinion of the respective author and not necessarily the opinion of the provider. Simply accessing the free and freely accessible content does not establish any contractual relationship between the user and the provider, as there is no intention to create legal obligations on the part of the provider.

**§ 2 External Links**
This website contains links to third-party websites ("external links"). These websites are the responsibility of their respective operators. When the external links were first linked, the provider checked the third-party content for any legal violations. No legal violations were apparent at that time. The provider has no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not mean that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link as their own. A constant control of these external links is not reasonable for the provider without concrete evidence of legal violations. If the provider becomes aware of legal violations, such external links will be deleted immediately.

**§ 3 Copyright and Performance Rights**
The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and performance protection law. Any use not permitted under German copyright and performance protection law requires the prior written consent of the provider or the respective rights holder. This applies in particular to reproduction, editing, translation, storage, processing or reproduction of content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Contents and rights of third parties are marked as such. The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of individual contents or complete pages is not permitted and punishable by law. Only the production of copies and downloads for personal, private and non-commercial use is permitted.

The display of this website in external frames is only permitted with written permission.

**§ 4 Special Terms of Use**
If special conditions for individual uses of this website deviate from the aforementioned paragraphs, this will be explicitly stated at the appropriate place. In this case, the special terms of use apply in each individual case.
