Responsibility for content
The links provided on these pages to third-party internet content (“external content”) have been created by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space Affairs (BMFTR) to the best of its knowledge and with the greatest possible care. These links merely facilitate access to “external content.” Particular attention has been paid to the trustworthiness of third-party providers and the legality of their content.
However, as the content of websites is dynamic and may change at any time, continuous individual review of all linked content cannot be guaranteed.
The BMFTR has no influence over the external content of linked third-party websites and therefore cannot assume any responsibility for it. The providers or operators of the respective sites are solely responsible for the content of linked pages. The BMFTR expressly does not adopt such external content as its own.
The BMFTR shall not be liable for any damages arising from the use or non-use of such external content. If legal violations become known, such links will be removed immediately.
