Editorial responsibility.
Responsible for content within the meaning of § 55 Abs. 2 RStV: Thomas D. Dooley, at the address above.
All editorial decisions on this site — selection of topics, wording, framing, the publication of guest contributions — are made by the named responsible party and are not influenced by sponsorship or advertising relationships. Affiliate links, where used, are disclosed in line.
VAT & tax.
Where applicable, German VAT will be shown on invoices for digital products and services. Engagements outside Germany are billed according to the destination's reverse-charge or place-of-supply rules.
Liability for content.
As a service provider we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with § 7 Abs. 1 TMG and general law. Under §§ 8 to 10 TMG, however, we are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information, nor to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity.
Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. Liability in this respect is only possible from the date on which we become aware of a specific infringement of law. Upon becoming aware of any such infringement, we will remove the content in question promptly.
Liability for links.
Our site contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no control. We therefore cannot assume any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for the content of those pages.
The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognisable at that time. A permanent control of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement of the law. If we become aware of any legal infringement, we will remove the links in question promptly.
Copyright.
All content and works on these pages — text, photography, graphics, the TD5 Method, the four pillars, the five keys — are subject to copyright and ancillary rights under German law and the Berne Convention. Reproduction, editing, distribution and any kind of use beyond the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator.
Downloads and copies of this site are permitted for private, non-commercial use only. Training of machine-learning models on this content, including for commercial or research purposes, is expressly not permitted.
Where content on this site was not created by the operator, the copyright of third parties has been observed. Third-party content is marked as such. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please notify us at [email protected]. Infringing content will be removed promptly.
Dispute resolution.
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR) under Article 14(1) of Regulation (EU) No 524/2013: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Our email address is above.
In accordance with § 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (Verbraucherstreitbeilegungsgesetz, VSBG), we are not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
