For direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) that lie outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would only arise if the author is aware of the content and it is technically possible and reasonable to prevent its use in case of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were set, the corresponding linked pages were free of illegal content. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked/connected pages. Therefore, the author expressly distances himself from all content on linked/connected pages that have been changed after the link was set. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author’s own website, as well as third-party entries in guestbooks, discussion forums, and mailing lists created by the author. For illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and especially for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information, the provider of the site to which reference was made is solely liable, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.
