The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the link was set, no illegal content was recognizable on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked / connected pages.

For illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damage resulting from the use or non-use of information presented in this way, the provider of the page to which reference was made is solely liable, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.
