The author reserves the right, at any time, to modify, add or remove contents and offerings without any warning.

This applies in particular, but is not limited to, to words, like you find them for example in German and foreign language dictionaries and word collections, including their declensions and conjugations, as well as their combinations and resulting abbreviations, with or without punctuation.

Cross-references and links

The hyperlinks established on these pages by the author only serve for the information and convenience of the visitors as usual on the Internet.

A link or it's mention by name and/or by image does not imply any identification, collaboration or alliance with the contents, the authors and the owners of a provided foreign site, and all sites that you can reach from there via links, directly or indirectly, or whose existence you discover there.

At the time when the links to third-party sites were established, they were, in Germany, found to be free from any obvious illegal or indecent content, as far as a layperson in legal matters could judge.
Because of the variability of foreign content, and because the author has no influence on the owners, development or content of the linked sites, also the author cannot guarantee, that the links will remain in the future legal and harmless as they were.

Because technologies now propagated the adulteration of Websites through the use of robots, proxies, browsers and others, the author cannot guarantee that what the visitor sees, comes really as such from him.
The author does not take on the responsibility of the changes or of the consequences that may result from them.
Moreover these changes violate the copyrights.
