Liability for content

The articles available on the website are for general information purposes only and do not constitute advice in specific cases. We endeavor to ensure that all information and data on the website is correct and up-to-date in accordance with Section 7 (1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). However, no guarantee is assumed for the correctness, completeness, timeliness, or quality of the information and data provided in accordance with Sections 8 to 10 of the TMG. Liability for the content of the information available is excluded unless the information was intentionally or grossly negligently provided. Obligations to remove information or to block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. In this case, liability is only possible at the time of knowledge about a specific violation of law. Upon knowledge of such violations, we will remove this content immediately.

Liability for links

We are not responsible for the content of websites accessed via hyperlinks. The operators of 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 their accuracy, completeness, or availability. When we first linked to the external content, we checked whether it might give rise to civil or criminal liability. However, we are not obligated to continually review the content we link to on our website for changes that could give rise to new liability. We will only remove the link if we discover, or are informed by others, that a specific website to which we have provided a link gives rise to civil or criminal liability, as long as this is technically possible and reasonable for us.
