External links
These websites contain external links to the websites of third parties. These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operator.

At that time there were no legal violations that were apparent. The publisher has no influence over the current and future form and over the contents of the pages to which the link has been made. The establishing of external links does not signify that the publisher is adopting as its own the contents of such references or links. Exercising continuous checks of the external links is not reasonable for the publisher without having any concrete evidence of legal violations. Upon becoming aware of any legal violations, however, any external links of this nature will be immediately deleted.
