Obligations to remove or block the use of information according to general legislation remain unaffected. However, we are not liable in this respect until such time as we become aware of a specific legal infringement. If we do become aware of corresponding legal infringements, we will remove the content immediately.

Liability for links

We have no influence over the content of external third-party websites contained in our offering. Consequently, we are unable to assume any liability for this external content. The provider or operator of the respective linked website is always responsible for its content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal infringements at the time of linking. No illegal content was found at the time of linking. However, a permanent check of the content of linked pages is unreasonable without specific evidence indicating a legal infringement. If we do become aware of any legal infringements, we will remove such links immediately.
