Copy right information
This website with all its publications and self-elaborated projects by the website author is subject to copyright. The copyright rests solely with the author of the website. Any reproduction or reference to website contents for use in other electronic or printed media is prohibited except with the author’s explicit consent.

Liability for external links and contents of the website
As content provider, Rütex GmbH is responsible for its own content, which it makes available for use, in accordance with general laws. Cross-references ("links") to the content provided by other providers are to be distinguished from this own content. Rütex GmbH makes "external content" available for use by means of cross-references. Rütex GmbH is only responsible for these external contents if it has positive knowledge of them (i.e. also of illegal or punishable contents) and if it is technically possible and reasonable to prevent their use (§5 para. 2 TDG). However, "links" are always "living" (dynamic) references. The Rütex GmbH has checked the foreign contents with the first linkage thereupon whether a possible civil or criminal responsibility is released by it.
According to the TDG, however, the content provider is not obliged to constantly check the content to which he refers in his offer for changes which could give rise to a new responsibility. Only if he establishes or is informed by others that a concrete offer to which he has provided a link triggers civil or criminal liability will he remove the reference to this offer, insofar as this is technically possible and reasonable. The technical possibility and reasonableness is not influenced by the fact that even after access from the Rütex GmbH homepage has been prevented, the illegal or punishable offer can still be accessed from other servers.
