Liability for Contents of Online Information
In accordance with Section 7 Paragraph 1 of the Tele-Media Law, the Max Planck Society shall be responsible for its own contents according to general legal provisions. The Max Planck Society makes every effort to provide timely and accurate information on this Website. Nevertheless, errors and inaccuracies cannot be completely ruled out. Therefore, the Max Planck Society does not assume any liability for the information provided being up-to-date as well as its accuracy, completeness or quality. The Max Planck Society shall not be liable for damage of a tangible or intangible nature caused directly or indirectly through the use or failure to use the information offered and/or through the use of faulty or incomplete information unless it is verifiably culpable of intent or gross negligence. The same shall apply to any software downloads available free of charge. The Max Planck Society reserves the right to modify, supplement, or delete any or all of the information offered on its Website, or to temporarily or permanently cease publication thereof without prior and separate notification.
Links to Websites of Third Parties
This Website includes links to other external websites. The respective provider shall be responsible for the contents of any linked external pages. In establishing the initial link, the Max Planck Society has reviewed the respective external content in order to determine whether such link entailed possible civil or criminal responsibility. However, a constant review of linked external pages is unreasonable without concrete indication of a violation of rights. If the Max Planck Society discovers or is pointed out by others that an external offer linked to by the Max Planck Society causes civil or criminal responsibility, the Max Planck Society will immediately eliminate any link to this offer. The Max Planck Society expressly dissociates itself from such contents.
