References and Links
In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites ("hyperlinks"), which lie outside the area of responsibility of the author, legal liability would only come into force if the author or the authoress has knowledge of the contents and it would be both technically possible and reasonable for them to prevent the use in the case of illegal contents. Dezernat Zukunft hereby expressly declares that no illegal contents were present on the linked websites at the time of the links’ inclusion. The authors have no influence over the current or future contents, design or copyright of the linked sites.

This observation counts for all the links included on our website, as well as for third-party discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists included by the authors, and for all forms of databases which can be externally altered. The liability for the illegal, factually incorrect or incomplete content or websites and especially any damages which are the result thereof lies alone with the publishers of the linked sites, not the author who has merely linked to them in their publication.
