Disclaimer
Kooperation international shall not be responsible for ensuring that the information contained on this website is up-to-date, accurate or complete nor shall it be liable for the quality of information provided. Liability claims against Kooperation international with respect to damage of a material or immaterial nature caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information shall be excluded in principle. Should we become aware of errors then we shall attempt to correct them. Kooperation international reserves the right to modify, supplement or delete parts of the pages, discontinue the website, or to temporarily suspend or cease publication without prior notice. In the case of direct or indirect reference to external Internet sites (links) outside the responsibility ofKooperation international, liability would only be accepted on condition that Kooperation international were to be aware of the contents and it would be technically possible and reasonable for Kooperation international to prevent the use of such sites in the case of illegal content. Kooperation international therefore expressly declares the linked sites in question were visited and found to be free of illegal content when the links were created. Kooperation international has absolutely no influence on the current or future configuration or content of the linked sites. Kooperation international therefore expressly dissociates itself from the contents of all linked sites. This declaration applies to all of the links and references created within its own Internet service and also to external entries in the guestbooks, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by Kooperation international. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete content, and in particular for damage arising from the use or non-use of such information, sole liability is borne by the website provider to which reference was made, not by the party that merely drew attention to the publication in question via links. We accept no liability for interruptions or other disturbances resulting from incorrectly created files or incorrectly structured formats. We shall not accept any responsibility for disturbances of this type occurring during visits to our website or through links to external websites.

All of the brand labels and trademarks contained within the website and those that may be legally protected are subject without restriction to the provisions of the respective legislation concerning the protection of trademarks and logos and the rights of ownership of the registered owner.
