In the case of direct or indirect references to foreign websites ("hyperlinks") that are outside the author's area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only arise if the author is aware of the contents and if it would be technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent the use in the case of illegal contents. The author hereby explicitly declares that at the time the link was set, no illegal contents were recognizable on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future design, the contents, or the authorship of the linked/connected pages. Therefore, he expressly distances himself from all contents of all linked/connected pages that have been changed after the link was set. This statement applies to all links and references made within his own internet offerings as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists, and in all other forms of databases that allow external writing access to their content. The provider of the page to which reference is made is solely responsible for illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and, in particular, for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such offered information, not the one who merely refers to the respective publication via links.
