Liability for Content

We have made every effort to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the content on our pages. However, we cannot guarantee the correctness, completeness, or current relevance of the content. As a service provider, our responsibility for our own content on these pages is in accordance with general laws. As a service provider, we are not required to monitor third-party information that is transmitted or stored, nor are we required to investigate circumstances that suggest illegal activities. The responsibility to remove or block the use of information under general laws remains intact. Liability in this regard can only be assumed from the moment we become aware of a specific legal violation. Upon becoming aware of such violations, we will promptly remove the offending content.

Liability for Links

Our website contains links to external websites owned by third parties, and we have no control over the content of these sites. Consequently, we cannot be held responsible for the content of these third-party sites. The individual provider or operator of the linked pages is responsible for their content. At the time of linking, the linked pages were examined for potential legal violations, and no unlawful content was identified. Continuously monitoring the content of linked pages without concrete evidence of legal violations is unreasonable. If we become aware of any legal violations, we will remove the associated links immediately.
