Liability
According to section 7 first paragraph of the German Telemedia Act, DLR as the content provider is responsible for its own content which it provides for use on riesgos.de, in accordance with the general laws. Cross-references (“links”) to content provided by other content providers must be distinguished from DLR´s own content. By means of the cross-reference DLR provides third-party content for use which is marked accordingly by the indication “[external]” or by a link. Before setting the link DLR checks this third-party content if it causes possible civil or criminal liability. However, it cannot be excluded that the third-party content providers change their content afterwards. DLR does not constantly check the third-party content it refers to for changes made by the third-party content providers which could engender DLR´s civil or criminal liability. If you believe that the linked external sites violate applicable laws or otherwise have inappropriate content, please let us know.
