Liability exclusion:

With the verdict of May 12, 1998 – 312 085/98 – "liability for links", the District Court of Hamburg decided that by displaying links on a webpage, one may potentially be held liable for the content of the linked webpage. This can only be avoided by explicitly distancing oneself from those contents. "We herewith explicitly distance ourselves from the content of all links on this homepage and do not adopt their content. The content of each link is the sole responsibility of by its owner."
