1. Contents of the online offering

The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences does not assume any liability for the currentness, correctness, completeness of quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences based on material or conceptual damages caused by the usage of or failure to use the provided information, and/or by the usage of faulty or incomplete information, are fundamentally excluded as long as GFZ has not demonstrably acted intentionally or with gross negligence. All offers are subject to confirmation and are non-binding. The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences expressly reserves the right to change, add to or delete parts of pages or the entire offering without separate notice, or to temporarily or permanently cease their publication.

2. References and links

For direct and indirect references to third-party web pages ("links") that are beyond the responsibility of the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences (www.gfz-potsdam.de), a liability obligation shall only apply if the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is aware of the content and if it would be technically possible and reasonable for GFZ to prevent its usage in the case of illegal content.
The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences therefore expressly declares that the corresponding linked pages were free of illegal content at the time the links were created. The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences does not have any influence over the current and future design and content of the linked/associated pages. Therefore, it hereby expressly distances itself from all content on all linked/associated pages that was changed after the link was created. This determination applies to all links and references within GFZ's own web offering, as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. Illegal, faulty or incomplete content, and particularly any damages caused by the usage of or failure to use such provided information, shall be the sole responsibility of the provider of the referenced page - not the party that simply references the respective publication via a link.

3. Copyright and trademark law

The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences makes every effort to observe the copyrights for graphics, audio documents, video sequences and text used in all publications. The copyright for published, copyright-protected objects shall remain solely with the copyright holder (Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences or a third party). The reproduction or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications, even if these are not labeled as copyright-protected publications, is not permitted without the express permission of the copyright holder.
All trademarks named within the internet offering, and protected by third parties where applicable, are subject without limitation to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respectively registered owners. The mere usage of a trademark does not indicate that it is not protected by third-party rights.

4. Legal force of this liability exclusion

This liability exclusion should be considered part of the internet offering from which this page was linked. If parts of this text or individual parts thereof do not, no longer or only partially correspond to the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected thereby in terms of their content and their validity.

Note:

According to the law on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Consumer Contracts (VSBG), a trader who maintains a website or uses general terms and conditions is obliged to notify consumers of the extent to which he is willing or obliged to participate in dispute settlement proceedings before a consumer's dispute resolution body. The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS) under the external link ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. The platform serves as a point of contact for the out-of-court settlement of disputes with regard to contractual obligations arising from online purchase contracts. The GFZ is not obligated to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a dispute resolution body and, furthermore, does not offer participation.
