Privacy and Liability
According to Section 5 (1) of the Teleservices Act of 22 July 1997
(TDG), GALL GmbH is responsible under general law for its "own
contents" held ready for use. A distinction is to be made between these
own contents and cross-references ("links") to content provided by
other providers. GALL GmbH is only responsible for this third-party content if
we have a positive knowledge of them (i.e. also of unlawful or punishable
content), and if it is technically possible and reasonable to prevent the use
of such content (Section 5 (2) TDG. However, "links" are always
"live" (dynamic) references. During the initial linking GALL GmbH
checked the third-party content to see if said content is culpable of any
possible civil or criminal liability. However, according to the German
Teleservices Act, GALL GmbH is not obliged to constantly check the content
referred to in this offer for changes that could give rise to a new instance of
liability. Only if it is stated or pointed out by others that a concrete offer,
for which a link has been provided, could cause civil or criminal liability,
will the reference to this offer be removed, as far as this is technically
possible and reasonable.
