Profession

Dirk Kartes is a freelancer within the meaning of Section 18(1) No. 1 of the German Income Tax Act (EStG).

The services offered are provided on a freelance basis as a mentor and mediator. They are expressly not medical or therapeutic services.

Liability for Content

As a service provider, I am responsible for my own content on these pages under general law pursuant to the DDG. However, under the DDG I am not obligated as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. However, liability in this respect is only possible from the time of knowledge of a specific legal violation. Upon becoming aware of such violations, I will remove this content immediately.

Liability for Links

My website contains links to external third-party websites whose content I have no influence over. Therefore, I cannot accept any liability for this third-party 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 of linking. No illegal content was recognizable at that time.

However, permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. Upon becoming aware of legal violations, I will remove such links immediately.

Copyright

The content and works published on my website are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, editing, distribution, and any kind of use beyond the limits of copyright law require the prior written consent of the respective author. Downloads and copies of this site are permitted only for private, non-commercial use.
