Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

1. Content of the Online Offering

The author assumes no liability for the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Claims for damages against the author relating to material or non-material damages caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are generally excluded, unless there is evidence of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the author.

All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to modify, supplement, or delete parts of the pages or the entire website, or to suspend publication temporarily or permanently, without prior notice.

 

2. References and Links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“hyperlinks”) that lie outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would arise only if the author were aware of the content and it were technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent access to such content in the event of illegal material.

The author hereby expressly declares that, at the time the links were created, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current or future design, content, or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, the author hereby expressly distances himself from all content on all linked pages that has been modified since the links were created. This statement applies to all links and references within the author’s own website, as well as to third-party entries in guestbooks, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists, and all other forms of databases established by the author, where external users have the ability to post content. The provider of the page to which a reference is made is solely liable for illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content—and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information—not the party who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

 

3. Copyright and Trademark Law

The author endeavors to observe the copyrights of the images, graphics, audio files, video clips, and texts used in all publications; to use images, graphics, audio files, video clips, and texts created by the author; or to use royalty-free graphics, audio files, video clips, and texts.

All brand names and trademarks mentioned on this website and, where applicable, protected by third parties, are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by the rights of third parties!

The term “Märklin” is a registered trademark of Gebr. Märklin & Cie. GmbH. This website is a purely private, non-commercial hobby project and has no business connection to the Märklin brand.

The copyright for published objects created by the author remains solely with the author of the pages. Reproduction or use of such graphics, audio files, video clips, and text in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author’s express consent.

 

4. Data Protection

Wherever the website offers the option to enter personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses), the disclosure of such data by the user is expressly voluntary. The use of and payment for all services offered is permitted—to the extent technically possible and reasonable—even without providing such data or by providing anonymized data or a pseudonym. The use by third parties of contact information published in the legal notice or similar sections—such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and email addresses—to send unsolicited information is not permitted. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action against senders of so-called spam emails in the event of violations of this prohibition.

 

5. Legal Effectiveness of This Disclaimer

This disclaimer is to be considered part of the website from which this page was linked. Should parts or individual phrases of this text not, no longer, or not fully comply with applicable law, the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected in terms of their content and validity.
