Copyright

Unless specified otherwise, all pages of the operator’s website are protected by copyright. This applies in particular to texts, images, charts, and files containing style, sound, video, or animation data; it also includes the design of the website.

Reproduction or use of (parts of) the web pages in electronic or printed form and their publication (including on the Internet) is subject to prior approval. Press releases, publications, scripts and information on lectures may be reprinted and evaluated provided that the source is indicated.

Furthermore, images, charts, and files containing text or other information, may, in part or in their entirety, be subject to the copyright of third parties.

All registered brands and trademarks mentioned on this website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the respective applicable trademark law and the property rights of their respective owners.

Exclusion of liability

The operator has compiled and verified all information provided with great care. However, we cannot assume liability or furnish a guarantee that the data are correct, complete or up-to-date, or regarding the quality or constant availability of the information provided.

We will not be liable for any damages arising from computer viruses or the installation and use of software when accessing or downloading data from this website.

Websites credited to an author reflect the opinions and insights of that author. The operator expressly reserves the right to change, amend or delete individual web pages, services or the entire website without prior notice or to interrupt or terminate the publication.

Links and references (disclaimer)

The operator is only responsible for the original content provided in accordance with the applicable laws. This original content is to be distinguished from links to the websites of other operators. Through these references marked as ‘external links’, the operator enables visitors to access ‘third-party content’.

The operator merely enables users to access this content through the provided link. The operator is not responsible for this third-party content as the operator does not initiate the data transmission, does not choose the recipient of the information and does not select or have any influence on the information transmitted. The methods used to provide access and link to this third-party information also do not involve any automatic short-term storage, resulting in a full exclusion of any liability for third-party content on the operator’s part.

When links to these websites were first incorporated, however, the authors of the relevant websites or the operator’s editors reviewed the external content to ascertain whether it would possibly entail liability under civil or criminal law. Should the operator become aware or be made aware by others that the content of a website linked from this site could constitute a civil or criminal law violation, then the link will be immediately removed as long as this is technically feasible and within reasonable expectation.

Liability for illegal, inaccurate or incomplete content and for damages resulting from the use or non-use of information provided by third parties shall lie exclusively with the respective operators of the linked sites.

Data protection and technical resources

All data submitted to the operator in various online forms are used exclusively for business-related and technical purposes. No personal data will be passed on to third parties.

Caching

The operator’s server is run by the Erlangen Regional Computer Centre’s web team.
Every time a website or a linked object is requested, the following access data is stored:

• the address (URL) of the website from which the file was requested
• the name of the requested file
• the date and time of the request
• the transferred data volume
• the access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
• the description of the web browser type/the operating system used
• the IP address of the requesting computer

The stored data are required exclusively for technical and statistical purposes; they are not compared with other data records or passed on to third parties, even in part.

After analysing access statistics, the logged data are deleted. This analysis is carried out monthly and annually and the data are deleted in the same month of the following year, at the latest. For technical reasons (e.g. limited storage capacities) some access data may be deleted earlier.
