As a digital service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these web pages under general statutory laws. However, service providers are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity.
Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general statutory legislation remain unaffected upon obtaining actual knowledge of a specific violation.
