2. References and Hyperlinks

In the case of direct or indirect hyperlinks to external Internet sites for which the author is not responsible, the author would be liable only if the author had been aware of the contents and it had been technically feasible and reasonable for him to prevent its use in the case of illegal contents. The author hereby explicitly states that at the point in time at which the hyperlinks to external websites were placed, no illegal contents in those websites were apparent.

The author has no influence upon the current or future design, contents, or copyright protection of the hyperlinked websites.

For illegal, erroneous, or incomplete contents – and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information – only the actual owners/operators of such hyperlinked websites are liable, and not anyone merely referencing such publications via hyperlinks.
