Disclaimer

Evonik Degussa GmbH and its subsidiaries, as content providers according to § 5, Subsection 1, Teleservice Law, are legally responsible for the "own content" which they make available for use. Although all of the content is examined meticulously and updated continuously, there can be no guarantee of its completeness, accuracy and topicality. Evonik Degussa GmbH and its subsidiaries are therefore not liable for damage or loss which arises in connection with the use of this content.

A distinction must be made between the company's own content and the cross-references ("LINKS") to the content made available by other suppliers. In this respect Evonik Degussa GmbH uses the cross-reference to make "external content" available; this content is labelled as follows:

EXTERNAL LINK

Evonik Degussa GmbH is responsible for this external content only if it is positively aware of the content (i. e. also of any illegal and/or punishable content) and if it is both technically possible and reasonable for the company to prevent it from being used (§ 5, Subsection 1, Teleservice Law).

"Links", however, are always references to "living" (dynamic) Internet sites of third parties. When the link was first set up Evonik Degussa GmbH and/or its subsidiaries examined the external content to establish whether it might possibly trigger civil or criminal law proceedings. However, they are not obliged to constantly check the content to which they refer in their own websites for changes which could provide new grounds for liability. Only when they establish, or are informed by others, that a specific product or service to which they have provided a link triggers liability under civil or criminal law will they remove the reference to this product or service, provided that this is technically possible and reasonable. The technical feasibility and reasonableness are not influenced by the fact that even after access from the Evonik Degussa GmbH homepage has been prohibited, the illegal or punishable material can be accessed from other servers.
