Liability for contents

The content of the Heinrich Heine University website has been prepared with the greatest possible care. However, we shall not assume any liability for the correctness, completeness and up-to-dateness of the content.

As the service provider, Heinrich Heine University is responsible for its own content on this website in accordance with general legislation pursuant to Section 7 para. 1 of the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz – TMG). However, according to Sections 8-10 TMG, as the service provider, Heinrich Heine University is not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general laws remain unaffected by this. However, liability in this respect is only possible from the time of gaining knowledge of a specific violation of the law. If we become aware of any such violations, we shall promptly delete the content.

Liability for links

This website contains links to third-party websites (“external links”). The respective operators are liable for these websites. Consequently, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf shall not assume any liability for this external content. The linked pages were reviewed for possible legal violations at the time of linking. No illegal content was identified at that point in time. However, continuous checking of the linked pages’ content cannot be reasonably expected without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf thus hereby expressly distances itself from all content on the linked pages modified after creation of the link. Liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damages arising from the use or non-use of such information lies solely with the provider of the page to which reference is made, and not with the entity who refers to the respective publication via links.
