We will endeavour to provide an uninterrupted retrieval service. However, despite taking all due care, downtime cannot be ruled out. We reserve the right to change or discontinue our service at any time. We cannot accept any liability for interruptions or other disruptions caused by files that have been created incorrectly or are structured incorrectly.
Copyright
All content and structures on this website are protected by copyright and ancillary copyright. Publication on the World Wide Web or in other internet services does not constitute consent for any other use by third parties. Any utilisation not permitted by German copyright law requires our prior written consent.
However, we expressly permit and welcome the citation of our documents and the inclusion of links to our website, provided it is clear that the content originates from our website and is not associated with third-party content that conflicts with our interests.
Note on external links:
As a content provider, we are responsible for the content that we make available, in accordance with Section 7(1) of the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz) and general legislation. Cross-references (‘links’) to content provided by other providers must be distinguished from our own content. By providing these links, we make “third-party content” available for use, which is labelled as such.
‘Links’ are always ‘living’ (dynamic) references. When the link was first created, we checked the third-party content to determine whether it might give rise to civil or criminal liability. However, we do not constantly check the content to which we refer on our website for changes that could give rise to new liability. If 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, we will remove the reference to this offer.
