(2) The provider is not responsible for third-party contents, whereby merely the access via links is provided. In particular the provider does not adopt the contents of these websites since he has no influence on the contents and design of the linked sites. Using the links leading to sites outside of wiesbaden.de is therefore the user’s own responsibility.

Whoever publishes contents must likewise ensure that the contents connected through links correspond to these requirements.

(4) The provider is entitled to block the contents upon the mere suspicion of the requirements in these terms and conditions being breached. Those publishing these contents or who entered a link are solely legally responsible for breaches. They must exempt the provider from any third-party claims arising from this conduct.

The layout of the provider’s homepage, the graphics he uses as well as the texts, photographs and audiovisual contents are protected by copyright and may not be taken over wholly or partially, changed, duplicated, stored in an electronic or any other way, or processed or used in any way other than for purely private purposes without the prior consent of the provider. This also applies to the selection, coordination, layout, extension and other processing of third-party contents by the provider. The individual contributions themselves are likewise copyrighted.

Up to now the system can only be used to a restricted extent due to technical reasons in terms of time and/or contents. The provider is endeavouring to provide the best possible technical availability. There is no claim to unrestricted access of the offers.
