Liability for content

The content of these pages is created with the greatest care. However, we cannot guarantee that the content is accurate, complete or up to date. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages under general law in accordance with Section 7(1) DDG. Under Sections 8 to 10 DDG, however, we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor third-party information that is transmitted or stored, or 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 time we become aware of a specific infringement. As soon as we become aware of such infringements, we will remove the content concerned immediately.

Liability for links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites whose content we have no influence over. We therefore 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 the link was created; no unlawful content was apparent at that time. Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. As soon as we become aware of infringements, we will remove such links immediately.
