Liability for links
We are not responsible for the content of websites that can be reached via a hyperlink. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content. We expressly do not adopt the content of these websites as our own and therefore cannot guarantee the correctness, completeness and availability of the content. When we first linked to them, we checked the external content to see whether it could give rise to civil or criminal liability. However, we are not obliged to constantly check the content to which we refer in our offer for changes that could give rise to new liability. Only when we determine or are informed by others that a specific offer to which we have provided a link gives rise to civil or criminal liability will we remove the reference to this offer, insofar as this is technically possible and reasonable for us.
