Some countries require that web authors provide an impressum with varying amounts of data. Ok, well, so here's what I'm willing to share.
Author:
This website has been created and is maintained by Bernhard Hailer, residing in California, USA. An exact address of the author can be provided electronically if absolutely needed; please send an email to "bernhard+website" at "hailer" dot "name" and ensure that you provide very good reasons for your request. - In this text, "we" or "our" refers to the author.
Content:
The content of our website has been created with the utmost care. However, we cannot guarantee accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the content. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages. However, as a service provider we are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored information from third parties or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general laws remain unaffected. Liability in this respect is only possible from the point at which we become aware of a specific legal violation. Upon becoming aware of such legal violations, we will remove the relevant content immediately.
Links:
Our website contains links to external websites of third parties, over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for this external content. 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 links were created. However, continuous monitoring of the content of linked pages is not feasible without specific indications of a legal violation. Upon notification of legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.
Legal disputes:
Legal disputes about this website would have to be pursued within the State of California, U.S.A.. The author suggests a private discussion of offending matters before starting legal action which can be costly for everyone involved. Don't start legal actions for frivolous reasons.
