8. ACCORDING TO THE DECREE DATED MAY 12, 1998
the Landgericht (regional court) of Hamburg decided that, upon adding a link, one also is held responsible for the contents of the page including the link. According to the regional court this can only be prevented by explicitly dissociating oneself from those contents. On my homepage there are links referring to other websites. The following holds true for all links on this page. We wish to explicitly emphasize that we have no influence on the layout of the linked pages. That is why we explicitly dissociate ourselves from all contents of all pages on our homepage linked and do not adopt their contents. This applies to all links on our homepage.
9. INFORMATION OBLIGATION – ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN CONSUMER CONTRACTS
Pursuant to Sect. 36 (1) VSGB (Act on the alternative dispute resolution in consumer contracts) consumers have a general information obligation in matters of alternative dispute resolution. Cf. the online platform of the European Commission (https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage)
I am neither obliged legally nor willing to participate in alternative dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
