Legal notice/disclaimer

Contents

The content of our online and social media services has been carefully compiled and checked. The Association of German Banks (referred to in the following as “the Association”), does not, however, assume any liability for the up-to-dateness, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided.

In agreement with the Association, items may be stored, transmitted and reproduced solely for non-commercial purposes, provided this does not impinge on the rights of third parties. The information must not be altered or distorted. Where items are transmitted or reproduced, the source should be indicated. Links to our websites are only permissible if the links are not made from sites with illegal, offensive, discriminatory, anti-constitutional or otherwise unacceptable content.

The Association cannot be held liable in any way for material or non-material harm or damage caused by the use or non-use of the information contained on our websites or by inaccurate, out-of-date and incomplete information, provided there is no evidence of wilful intent or gross negligence on the part of the Association.

The Association expressly reserves the right to alter, add to or remove some or all of its online and social media services or discontinue publications without prior notice.

Links

If the Association refers directly or indirectly to third-party websites (links), it is liable only if it is fully aware of their content and it is technically possible and also reasonable for it to prevent the use of such content should it be illegal.

The Association hereby declares that, when it provided the links, the linked web pages did not contain anything illegal. It has no control, however, over the current and future content of the linked web pages. The Association does not adopt the content of linked web pages as its own and, as a precaution, disassociates itself from any content of the linked web pages that is subsequently included through changes. The Association therefore also cannot be held liable for any illegal, inaccurate or incomplete content and, in particular, for any harm or damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided on the linked web pages.

Copyright and commercial property rights

The Association alone reserves all rights to content of its own. No charts/diagrams, photos or texts may be disseminated or reproduced in other electronic or printed publications without the express consent of the Association. Where the Association uses third-party material (e.g. photos), it draws attention to this. Such material may not be disseminated or reproduced without consulting the Association beforehand.
