Upon notification of such an infringement, we will remove the content promptly.


Limitation of Liability for External Links

Our website contains links to external websites operated by third parties. We have no influence over the content of these external sites and therefore cannot accept any liability for their content. Responsibility for the content of linked pages lies solely with the provider or operator of the respective websites. At the time of linking, no legal violations were apparent to us. Continuous monitoring of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. If we become aware of any such infringement, we will remove the link immediately.
