Liability for Content
I am responsible for my own content on these pages in accordance with general laws (§ 7(1) DDG). According to §§ 8 to 10 DDG, however, I am not obligated as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information, or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Any liability in this respect is only possible from the moment a specific legal violation becomes known. Upon becoming aware of any such legal violations, I will remove the content concerned without delay.
Liability for Links
This website may contain links to external websites of third parties over whose content I have no influence. The respective provider or operator of such linked pages is solely responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. No illegal content was identifiable at that time. Permanent monitoring of linked pages is not reasonable in the absence of concrete indications of a legal violation. Upon becoming aware of any legal violations, I will remove such links without delay.
Copyright
The content and works on these pages created by the operator are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, processing, distribution and any kind of exploitation outside the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. Where the content on this site has not been created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are observed. In particular, third-party content is identified as such. If you should nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please notify me accordingly. Upon becoming aware of any legal violations, I will remove such content without delay.
Trademark Notice
This website refers to trademarks, product names and logos of third parties (in particular Anthropic, Claude, Claude Code, OpenAI, ChatGPT, Google, Microsoft, GitHub, Hugging Face) exclusively in a descriptive or nominative manner (§ 23 of the German Trademark Act, MarkenG). All trademarks, trade names and logos are the property of their respective owners. There is no official affiliation, partnership, authorisation or sponsorship relationship with the trademark owners. In particular, this website is not an offering of Anthropic PBC, OpenAI Inc. or any of their affiliates and is neither operated nor endorsed by them.
News Aggregation and Sources
In the news section of this website, links to publicly available articles are aggregated from public RSS feeds and comparable sources. Only the headline, source attribution, publication date and, where applicable, a short teaser are shown; the full content remains with the respective original source. By clicking on a headline, you leave this website and are taken to the original source. No reproduction or duplication of full articles takes place; § 87g UrhG (ancillary copyright for press publishers) and § 51 UrhG (right of quotation) are observed.
Notes on Repository Links and Code Screenshots
The profile section of this website only displays hyperlinks to the operator's own public code repositories (in particular at GitHub); the repository content itself is not technically embedded (e.g. via widget, iframe, or API aggregation). By clicking on a repository link, you leave this website and are taken to the respective platform, where its terms of use and privacy policy apply.
The news, blog and cheatsheet sections may show screenshots of code or tool interfaces. Where these screenshots show the operator's own code or own screen captures, the "Copyright" section applies. Where screenshots show third-party code, interfaces or content, this is done exclusively within the scope of the right of quotation (§ 51 UrhG) for the purpose of explanation or critical engagement with the content depicted; source and, where applicable, an authorship/licence note are indicated in the immediate vicinity of the image. Any third-party rights (trademark, copyright, personality rights) are observed; upon notice of any infringement, the relevant content will be removed without delay.
Disclaimer of Liability for Content
Personal Opinion
All texts, cheatsheets, assessments, experience reports, recommendations, tutorials and other editorial contributions published on this website reflect solely the personal opinion of the operator at the time of publication. They do not constitute professional, legal, tax, medical or any other specialist advice and are not binding statements. The content does not replace individual, case-specific advice from qualified professionals. To the extent legally permissible, no warranty and no liability is assumed for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness or fitness for a particular purpose of the content.
Geopolitical and Political Assessments
All geopolitical and political assessments, links to third-party sources, and curated news aggregations published on this website reflect solely the personal opinion of the operator at the time of publication. They are made in exercise of freedom of expression (Article 5 of the German Basic Law) as well as editorial reporting and the right of quotation (§ 51 UrhG). They do not constitute a definitive assessment, factual statements about third parties, or any form of professional advice. Links to external articles do not imply endorsement of or agreement with their content.
Where reporting concerns living persons or specific organisations, their personality rights (Articles 1 and 2 of the German Basic Law in conjunction with § 823 BGB) and the criminal-law limits of free expression (in particular §§ 185 to 187 StGB — insult, defamation, and intentional defamation) are observed. If you perceive a statement as a violation of personality or criminal law, please contact info@pradox.de — the relevant content will be reviewed without delay and corrected or removed if appropriate.
Forwarded News Content
The news section aggregates only links to articles by third parties. The headlines, teasers and source attributions shown therein originate from the respective original source and are not editorially verified. The operator assumes no liability for the accuracy, timeliness, completeness or availability of the linked articles, nor for the order or curation resulting from the selection.
Code Repositories and Software
The operator's own code repositories and all source code originating from them, whether linked or shown in excerpts via this website, are provided "as is" and without any express or implied warranty. In particular, no warranty is given for:
- functionality, freedom from defects, or completeness of the code,
- fitness for a particular purpose,
- security, freedom from vulnerabilities, or timeliness,
- conformity with descriptions, specifications, or expectations,
- compatibility with the user's hardware or software.
These are personal hobby and learning projects. Use is at the user's own risk. To the extent legally permissible, no liability is assumed for damages of any kind arising from the use, adaptation, integration or further distribution of the code — in particular data loss, system failures, security incidents, lost profits or indirect consequential damages. The licence terms stored in the respective repository additionally govern the use of the code.
Crypto and Blockchain Content
Content published on this website about cryptocurrencies, blockchain protocols, self-custody tools, wallets or similar topics deals exclusively with technical aspects (protocols, open-source software, automation, security setups, self-custody). Such content explicitly does not constitute investment advice (§ 1 (1a) sentence 2 No. 1a KWG), investment brokerage (§ 1 (1a) sentence 2 No. 1 KWG), advertising for investment products (§ 17 VermAnlG), an investment recommendation within the meaning of Article 3(1)(35) of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), or any financial service within the meaning of § 1 KWG. No investment strategies are recommended and no return projections are given. Investment decisions remain solely with the respective user; consultation of an independent, qualified financial or tax advisor is recommended.
Risk notice: Investments in cryptocurrencies and blockchain assets can lead to substantial losses up to the total loss of capital invested. High volatility, technical risks (smart-contract failures, wallet or key loss, exchange insolvencies, hacks) and regulatory uncertainty in individual jurisdictions cannot be excluded.
Tax notice: The tax treatment of crypto activities in Germany depends on individual circumstances, in particular § 23 EStG (private sales transactions with a one-year holding period). Tax consequences may also arise from mining, staking, lending and airdrops. Consultation of a tax advisor is recommended.
No market manipulation: Published technical observations or assessments are neither calls to buy or sell individual assets for manipulative purposes (cf. Article 12 of the Market Abuse Regulation — MAR; §§ 119 et seq. WpHG) nor are own positions disclosed with the intent to influence the price thereof.
AI Transparency
Content on this website may have been created, researched or revised in whole or in part with the help of AI tools (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, local language models). Where this is relevant to the perception of the content (in particular for generated texts, summaries or images), a corresponding note is provided next to the relevant post. Responsibility for the published content remains with the operator of this website (cf. Art. 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — AI Act).
Limits of the Liability Disclaimer
The foregoing disclaimers do not apply to damages caused by intent or gross negligence, do not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, and do not apply where mandatory statutory liability provisions (e.g. under the German Product Liability Act) take effect.
