1. Content of the Online Offer

Schön! Publishing GmbH assumes no liability for the relevance, accuracy, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against Schön! Publishing GmbH relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information presented, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are generally excluded unless there is evidence of intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of Schön! Publishing GmbH.

All offers are non-binding and subject to change. Schön! Publishing GmbH expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete, or temporarily or permanently discontinue parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice.

2. References and Links

For direct or indirect references to external websites (“hyperlinks”) that lie outside the responsibility of Schön! Publishing GmbH, liability would only arise in cases where Schön! Publishing GmbH had knowledge of illegal content and it would have been technically possible and reasonable to prevent the use of such content.

Schön! Publishing GmbH expressly declares that no illegal content was identifiable on the linked pages at the time the links were created. Schön! Publishing GmbH has no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked/referenced pages.

Therefore, Schön! Publishing GmbH expressly distances itself from all content on all linked/referenced pages that were changed after the link was set. This declaration applies to all links and references within the company’s own website as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists, and all other forms of databases whose content can be modified externally.

The provider of the linked website, not the party merely referring to the publication via links, is solely liable for illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and especially for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information.

3. Copyright and Trademark Law

Schön! Publishing GmbH endeavours to observe the copyrights of all graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts used in all publications, to use self-created graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts, or to utilise licence-free materials.

All brand names and trademarks mentioned on the website, including those possibly protected by third parties, are subject without limitation to the provisions of applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners.
