Liability notice
1. Content of the online offering
The GWZO strives to ensure that the information provided on this website is accurate and up to date, yet cannot completely guarantee the absence of mistakes or ambiguities. The GWZO therefore assumes no liability for the up-to-dateness, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. The GWZO is not liable for material or immaterial damages directly or indirectly caused by use or non-use of the offered information, as long as it is not proven guilty of wilful or grossly negligent culpability. All offerings are subject to change and non-binding. The GWZO reserves the right to change, augment or delete parts or the entirety of this web presence without special notice, or to cease its publication temporarily or permanently.

2. References links

Responsibility for third-party contents, such as those offered through direct or indirect connections (e.g. so-called links), is predicated i.a. on a positive knowledge of the unlawful or criminal content. The GWZO has no influence on third-party contents and does not adopt these contents as its own. The GWZO has no positive knowledge of unlawful or offensive contents on the linked pages of third-party providers. Should the linked pages of third-party providers nevertheless prove to contain unlawful or offensive contents, the GWZO expressly distances itself from these contents. This statement applies to all links and references set within its own web presence as well as to third-party contributions in the guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists organised by the GWZO. Illegal, erroneous or incomplete contents and especially damages arising from the use or non-use of such offered information are the sole liability of the provider of the reference site, not of the entity merely referring to the respective publication through links.

3. Copyright and trademark law

In all its publications, the GWZO strives to observe the copyright laws of utilised graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts; to use self-created graphics, video sequences and texts; or to make use of graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts in the public domain. All trademarks and brand names mentioned within this web presence and where applicable protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the respective applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered property. The sole fact that such trademarks are cited shall not be deemed to indicate that they are not protected by third-party rights. The copyright for published objects created by the GWZO itself remains solely with the pages’ author. The reproduction or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the GWZO’s express permission.
