Haftungsausschluß:

Mit Urteil vom 12. Mai 1998 – 312 085/98 – “Haftung für Links” hat das Landgericht Hamburg entschieden, daß man durch die Anbringung eines Links die Inhalte der gelinkten Seite ggf. mit zu verantworten hat. Dies kann nur dadurch verhindert werden, daß man sich ausdrücklich von diesen Inhalten distanziert. “Hiermit distanzieren wir uns ausdrücklich von den Inhalten aller Links auf dieser Homepage und machen uns deren Inhalte nicht zu eigen. Den Inhalt des jeweiligen Links hat deren Inhaber allein zu verantworten.”

Disclaimer:

With respect to the decision handed down by the regional court in Hamburg on May 12, 1998 — # 312 085/98 entitled “Liability With Respect to ‘Links’” — it was decided that websites which incorporate on their own webpages ‘links’ to other websites, are equally liable for the contents of those websites to which they have created said ‘links’. Such liability can be avoided only by means of an express statement by the website creating the ‘link’ that it distances itself completely from any and all content that may be found on the website to which it has created said ‘link’. As such, “we hereby distance ourselves completely from any and all contents which may be found on any and all websites to which we have created ‘links’ on our own website. We declare that we have no connection whatsoever to such websites or their respective contents and that the owners of such ‘linked to’ websites are solely responsible for the contents of their websites”.
