On the Heidelberg University Hospital website, you will find numerous links (cross-references), including banner links, to external third-party websites. These are clearly identified as such. Activating these links will open a new window and redirect users to the third-party provider’s site.
Direct or indirect references to external websites that lie outside the responsibility of the University Hospital would only create liability if the hospital had knowledge of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable to prevent access in the event of unlawful content.
The Heidelberg University Hospital expressly states that, at the time the links were created, the linked pages were free of illegal content. The hospital has no influence over the current and future design or content of the linked websites. It therefore distances itself explicitly from any content that may have been changed after the link was created.

The Heidelberg University Hospital’s online portal provides patients and interested parties with a wide range of high-quality information.
The University Hospital assumes no liability for the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, or quality of the information provided.
Liability claims against the University Hospital relating to damages a material or non-material nature caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are generally excluded unless there is proven intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of the hospital.
All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The Heidelberg University Hospital   expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete parts of the pages, or the entire offer without prior notice, or to temporarily or permanently cease publication.

For direct or indirect links to external websites (“hyperlinks”) that are outside the responsibility of the University Hospital, liability would only arise in the event that the hospital had knowledge of illegal content and could reasonably be expected to prevent its use.
The hospital hereby expressly declares that at the time of linking, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. The hospital has no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, it explicitly distances itself from all content on all linked pages that has been changed after the link was created.
This statement applies to all links and references set within the hospital’s own online presence as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists, and all other forms of databases that allow external writing access.
Liability for illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and, in particular, for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information rests solely with the provider of the linked page, not with the one who merely links to the publication.
