Pursuant to Section 7 (1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), we as a service provider are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws. Pursuant to Sections 8 to 10 TMG, however, we as a service provider are not under any obligation to monitor third-party information that has been transmitted or stored or to check this for indications of illegal activities. This shall not affect our obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general laws. However, we cannot be held liable in this respect until we learn of a specific legal infringement. On becoming aware of legal infringements, we shall immediately remove the relevant content.

Liability for links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no control. We are therefore unable to assume any liability for such third-party content. The website providers or operators are always responsible for the content of the linked sites. The linked sites were checked for legal infringements when the links were first created and there were no indications of unlawful content at that time. However, we cannot be reasonably expected to continuously monitor the content of linked sites without any specific indications of a legal infringement. On becoming aware of legal infringements, we shall immediately remove the relevant links.
