Online dispute resolution

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR): https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Liability for content

As a service provider, we are responsible under § 7 (1) TMG for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws. Under §§ 8 to 10 TMG, however, we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected. Liability in this respect is, however, only possible from the point in time at which a concrete legal violation becomes known. As soon as we become aware of any such legal violations, we will remove the relevant content immediately.

Liability for links

Our offering contains links to external websites of third parties whose contents we have no influence on. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time the link was set; unlawful content was not identifiable at that time.

Copyright

The content and works on these pages created by the site operator are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, editing, distribution and any kind of exploitation outside the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. The AI-generated content shown in the reels (Pepe Arturo AI) was created with Veo 3.1 (Google); the underlying scripts and pipeline setup are by the site operator.
