For direct or indirect references to external websites [links] that are outside the responsibility of the Page Owner, a liability obligation would only come into effect if the Page Owner had knowledge of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable to prevent the use of illegal content.

The Page Owner hereby expressly declares that at the time the link was set, no illegal content was recognizable on the linked pages. The Page Owner has no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked/connected pages. Therefore, he hereby expressly distances himself from all content of all linked/connected pages that were changed after the link was set.

This statement applies to all links and references set within his own internet offer as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, and mailing lists set up by the Page Owner. For illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such presented information, only the provider of the page to which reference was made is liable, not the one who has merely referred to the respective publication via links.
