The links, on these pages, to content on websites of third parties – "third-party content" – were created by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with the greatest possible care and in keeping with the best available information. They solely provide access to third-party content. Particular efforts were made to ensure that the third parties involved are trustworthy, and that their pertinent third-party content conforms to legal requirements.
On the other hand, website content can change at any time, and it would not be feasible to individually review all linked content on an ongoing basis. The BMBF has no influence on the third-party content on linked third-party websites, and it cannot assume any liability for such content. The relevant content providers or website operators are solely responsible for the content to which we have linked on these pages. For this reason, the BMBF explicitly notes that its links to third-party content should not be understood as any endorsement of such content. In any and all cases of damages resulting from use of third-party content, or from failure to use such content, the sole party responsible is the provider of the website to which the pertinent links led. We will immediately remove any links that are brought to our attention as representing, constituting or relating to any legal infringements or violations.
