In its verdict dated May 12, 1998, the Hamburg District Court ruled that the operator of a website may be held responsible for the contents of any websites linked to his own site. According to the above-mentioned court decision, the only means to prevent such responsibility is to explicitly dissociate oneself from any and all such contents.

The BMF text+ website is linked to other websites in the Internet. BMF text+ has no influence whatsoever on the form and contents of such linked website pages, for which the respective operators are solely responsible. Therefore BMF text+ explicitly dissociates itself from any and all contents of linked websites. This dissociation applies to all links shown and to all contents of websites to which the BMF text+ site is linked.
