Disclaimer & Privacy

With its judgment of May 12, 1998, the regional court of Hamburg (Germany) decided that one is in part responsible for the contents of a page to which one has set a link. This can only be circumvented by distancing oneself explicitly from these contents. On our pages, we have set links to other pages in internet. For all these links the following applies: in the case of direct or indirect references to external websites ('hyperlinks'), an obligation to accountability would only come into effect if the carrier of these pages would be aware of these contents and, in the case of illegal contents, if it would be technically possible and reasonable for him or her to prevent that others use the pages. The carrier of these pages therefore declares explicitly that, at the time the links were set, the corresponding linked pages were free of any illegal contents. He or she has no influence upon the actual and future configuration and contents of the linked pages. Therefore, he or she hereby distances him- or herself explicitly from all contents of the linked pages, which were altered after the link has been set. This declaration applies to all links and references which were made within the own internet area. As opposed to the person who merely refers to the particular offering via set links, the provider of the linked page alone is responsible for any illegal, inaccurate or incomplete contents, and in particular for any damage which might arise from the use or non-use of the offered information.
