The author expressly declares that the linked pages contained no illegal content at the time the link was created. The author has no influence whatsoever over the current or future design of, the content shown on or the copyright to the linked pages. For this reason the author dissociates himself from any content on the linked pages that have been changed after the link was created.

The liability for all illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents, and in particular for any loss or damage incurred after the use or non-use of such information, lies solely with the provider of the page to which the link was placed.
