Liability for contents of online information

As the provider of contents in accordance with Section 7 Paragraph 1 of the Tele-Media Law, the Max Planck Society shall be responsible for any contents which it makes available for use in accordance with general legal provisions. The Max Planck Society makes every effort to provide timely and accurate information on this Web site. Nevertheless, errors and inaccuracies cannot be completely ruled out. Therefore, the Max Planck Society does not assume any liability for the relevance, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. The Max Planck Society shall not be liable for damage of a tangible or intangible nature caused directly or indirectly through the use or failure to use the information offered and/or through the use of faulty or incomplete information unless it is verifiably culpable of intent or gross negligence. The Max Planck Society reserves the right to modify, supplement, or delete any or all of the information offered on its Internet site, or to temporarily or permanently cease publication thereof without prior and separate notification.

Links to internet sites of third parties

This Internet site includes links to external pages. The respective provider shall be responsible for the contents of any linked external pages. In establishing the initial link, the Max Planck Society has reviewed the respective external content in order to determine whether such link entailed possible civil or criminal responsibility. However, a constant review of linked external pages is unreasonable without concrete reason to believe that a violation of the law may be involved. If the Max Planck Society determines such or it is pointed out by others that an external offer to which it is connected via a link entails civil or criminal responsibility, then the Max Planck Society will immediately eliminate any link to this offer. The Max Planck Society expressly dissociates itself from such contents.

Pop-up advertisements

When visiting this Web site, some Web browsers may produce pop-up advertisements. These advertisements were most likely produced by other Web sites previously visited or by third party software installed on the respective computer. The Max Planck Society does not endorse or recommend products or services for which a pop-up advertisement may appear on the respective computer screen while visiting this site.

Medical information

It is not the intention of this Web site to provide specific medical advice but rather to provide users with information to better understand the genetic causes underlying defined disease entities. Specific medical advice will not be provided, and the Max Planck Society recommends to consult with a qualified physician for diagnosis and for answers to personal questions.
