DISCLAIMER

Limitation of liability for website content
As the service provider, Goethe University Frankfurt assumes no liability for the topicality, accuracy and completeness of the content provided or its suitability for specific purposes. This does not apply if the party responsible can be deemed culpable of intentional or grossly negligent behavior. In general, we create the content electronically and edit it manually. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of content, particularly in the case of complex subject matter. The service provider therefore recommends that users contact the parties responsible or seek legal advice in the case of important information.

The website operator is not responsible for third-party content that it publishes for a user provided that:

  • The website operator has no knowledge of the illegal act or information and, in the case of claims for indemnity, is not aware of any facts or circumstances from which the illegal act or information becomes apparent.

Or:

  • The website operator has taken immediate action to remove the information or block access to it as soon as it has become known to them.

Liability in this respect is therefore only possible from the time when the website operator obtains knowledge of a concrete infringement.

Should Goethe University Frankfurt become aware of such illegal content, it will remove it immediately.

Links to external websites
The web pages contain links to external websites of third parties on whose content Goethe University Frankfurt has no influence. In setting the link, it expressly does not appropriate the content behind the link. No liability can therefore be assumed for the topicality, accuracy and completeness of content on external websites. 

The respective provider of the linked website is always responsible for its content. At the time the link was created, the external website was checked within reasonable limits and no illegal content or violations of the law were known or recognizable. However, permanent monitoring of content on linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of an infringement. If Goethe University Frankfurt becomes aware of the illegality of linked content, it will remove the corresponding link immediately.

Use of contact data
Goethe University Frankfurt expressly objects to the use by third parties of contact data published on this website to send unsolicited advertising and information material or illegal content (Trojans, etc.). It expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited dispatch of advertising material, e.g. through spam emails.

As a general rule, picture credits are placed on the corresponding picture or directly below it.
