1. Website contents
The editorial department assumes no
liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of
the information provided. Any liability claims against the editorial
department, which refer to material or non-material damage, and which
may be caused by the usage or non-usage of the information provided, or,
respectively, by the usage of any incorrect or incomplete information,
are generally excluded unless in cases of evidenced wilful or gross
negligence on the part of the webmasters. All offers are non-binding and
without obligation. The editorial department reserves the right to
modify, append or delete parts or the complete online content without
prior notice, or to cancel the publication temporarily or permanently.
2. References and links
With regard to direct or indirect
references to third-party websites (“links”) that are beyond the scope
of the webmasters’ responsibility, a liability obligation only applies
if the contents of such pages was known to the webmasters, and if it is
reasonable and technically possible for the webmasters to prevent their
use in the case of illegal content.
The editorial department herewith
explicitly declares that at the time of creating the link, no unlawful
content could be detected on the pages linked. The editorial department
has no influence on the current and future design, content or copyright
of the linked/hyperlinked pages. For this reason, it hereby expressly
distances itself from the contents of all linked/hyperlinked pages that
have been modified since the link was created. This declaration applies
to all links and references within this website, as well as for postings
and outside contributions to the discussion forums, link directories,
mailing lists and all other forms of databases which the webmasters have
created and in which the content can be modified externally. Please
notify the webmasters about any web page that can be accessed from the
Hochschule Ruhr West – University of Applied Sciences site with content
that gives grounds for complaint.
Hochschule Ruhr West – University of Applied Sciences accepts no
responsibility for external hyperlinks, which were not created by
Hochschule Ruhr West – University of Applied Sciences, but by linked
third-party providers.
Where illegal, erroneous or incomplete
content is concerned, especially damages arising from the usage or
non-usage of the information offered, the provider of the page to which
the reference is made shall be solely liable, and not the party who
merely makes reference to the respective publication via links.

video sequences and texts used in all publications or to use graphics,
