Disclaimer

Liability for Content
All content on our website has been created with the utmost care and to the best of our knowledge. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the content. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws pursuant to § 7(1) TMG. According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, we are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored external information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected.

Liability in this regard is only possible from the time we become aware of a specific legal violation. Upon becoming aware of such violations, we will remove the content immediately.

Liability for External Links
Our website contains links to external third-party websites. We have no influence over the content of these directly or indirectly linked websites. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for the accuracy of the content of such external links. The respective providers or operators of the sites are responsible for the content of the linked pages.

The external links were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking and were free of illegal content at that time. A permanent content control of external links is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. Liability for direct or indirect links to third-party websites that lie outside our responsibility would only arise if we were aware of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable for us to prevent use in the event of illegal content.

This disclaimer also applies to links and references within our own website “IQProcess” provided by questioners, blog entries, and guests of discussion forums. The provider of the linked page alone is liable for illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and especially for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such presented information, not the one who merely refers to the publication via links.

If we become aware of legal violations, we will remove such external links immediately.

Copyright
The content and works published on our website are subject to German copyright law. Any duplication, processing, distribution, or any form of utilization beyond the scope of copyright law requires the prior written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. Insofar as content on this website was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. Third-party content is identified as such. If you become aware of a copyright infringement, please inform us accordingly. Upon becoming aware of any legal infringements, we will remove such content immediately.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer that help analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for website operators, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

Google AdSense also uses “web beacons” (small invisible graphics) to collect information. Through the use of web beacons, simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website can be recorded and collected. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website with regard to the ads, compile reports on website activity and ads for website operators, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or where such third parties process the information on behalf of Google. Google will not associate your IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies and the display of web beacons by selecting “do not accept cookies” in your browser settings (in MS Internet Explorer under “Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Settings”; in Firefox under “Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies”); however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all features of this website fully.
