Osnabrück University, those responsible for this website and the authors shall not assume liability for any damages resulting from inaccurate or incomplete content on websites referred to by a link.

Remarks on Osnabrück University’s official profile on social media
Exclusion of liability:
Liability for contents
The contents of our website have been put together with the greatest care. However, we assume no liability for the correctness, completeness and up-to-dateness of the contents provided. As a public body, we are responsible under § 7 subsection 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) for ensuring that our contents on this website comply with general legislation. However, according to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, we are under no obligation to monitor transmitted or recorded information from external sources, nor are we liable to search for circumstances that may suggest illicit activity. Obligations to eliminate or bar the use of information based on general legislation remain unaffected by the aforementioned. Liability in this regard only comes into effect once a concrete infringement has been acknowledged. Contents in breach of law that become known to us will be removed immediately.
Liability for links
Our posts contain links to external websites of third parties. We have no influence on the contents of such websites. We therefore cannot assume any liability for the contents of these external websites. Responsibility for the contents of linked websites rests exclusively with the respective provider or operator thereof. The linked websites were checked for possible violations of the law at the time of creating the link. No unlawful contents were recognized at the time. Permanent monitoring of the contents of the linked sites is infeasible, however, without concrete evidence of unlawful content. On becoming aware of any such legal infringement, we will remove the links in question immediately.
Copyright
The contents and material prepared by the website operator and published on this website are subject to German copyright. The content provided on this website may only be reproduced, edited, distributed or exploited in any way beyond the scope of copyright law if written consent is given by the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this website are only permitted for private, non-commercial use. Unless the contents of this website have been put together by the operator himself, they may be subject to the copyright of third parties. Contents by third parties are identified as such. Nevertheless, if you should become aware of any copyright violation, please inform us accordingly. Should such legal violations become known to us, we will remove the contents in question immediately.
Data protection
Usually, usage of our website is possible without providing any personal data. If personal data (such as names, addresses or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that there are inherent security risks in transmitting data on the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail). It is impossible to safeguard the data completely against unauthorized access by third parties. We hereby expressly object to the third party use of contact data published in accordance with the editorial requirements, for the transmission of not expressly solicited advertising and information materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action against any party that sends unsolicited advertising information, such as spam mails.
