2. References and Links
You will find many hyperlinks (=cross references) on the pages of KRhoKo Platform, also in the form of banners, to third party websites. These are labeled as external links. Following the activation of these links, a new window will be opened and the user will be transferred to the offer of the third party. In the case of direct or indirect references to external internet pages, which are outside the area of responsibility of the DRFZ, liability will exclusively come into effect in the case of DRFZ having knowledge of its content and were it is technically possible and acceptable for it to prevent the use in the case of illegal content. DRFZ states that at the time of setting up the link, there was no recognizable illegal content on the corresponding pages. DRFZ has absolutely no influence over the current and future form, contents or authorship of linked/connected external pages. Therefore, DRFZ explicitly distances itself from the content of all linked/connected external pages which are changed following the link being put in place.
