Disclaimer
Liability for content
As a service provider we are responsible pursuant to Section 7 Para. 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) for our proprietary content on these pages under general laws. However, according to Sections 8 to 10 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), we are not obliged to monitor external information transmitted to us or stored on our sites, nor to seek facts or circumstances indicating illegal activity. The obligations to remove information or block its use under general laws remain unaffected. A corresponding liability, though, is first assumed at the point of our knowledge of a concrete infringement of the law. When we become aware of such infringements, we shall remove such content without delay.
Liability for links
Our services contain links to external third-party websites. We have no influence over the content on these websites and, for this reason, cannot assume responsibility for it. The provider or operator of the linked sites is always responsible for the content. At the time the link was created, the linked sites were checked for possible legal infringements and no discernible illegal content was found. However, without concrete indications of such an infringement of the law, it is unreasonable to expect a permanent review of the content of linked sites. Should such legal violations become known, we will immediately remove such links.
Copyright
The content created by the operators of websites and works on such sites are subject to German copyright law. Duplication, processing, dissemination and any form of exploitation outside the scope of copyright requires the prior written permission of the respective author or creator. On request to the Foundation, downloads and copies of this site may be made for private, non-commercial purposes. Where the content on this site has not been created by the operator, third-party copyright shall be observed. In particular, third-party content will be designated as such. Should you nonetheless become aware of a copyright infringement, we would ask you to inform us.
