This applies to the entire website, its individual parts, graphics, layouts, logos, photos, films, software, texts and other content. It is not permitted to make the website or parts thereof available on another network. Framing (displaying this website in your own frame) is an improper use of third-party content and is not permitted.

Prior written permission must be obtained for the reproduction of certain text and multimedia data (sound, images, programmes, etc.).

The “Queeres Netzwerk NRW e.V.” is, as content provider, responsible for content made available for use in accordance with standard law. Cross-references (‘links’) to content hosted by other providers are excluded from the category of own content. Via cross-referencing, “Queere Netzwerk NRW e.V.” makes ‘external content’ available for access, which is clearly indicated as follows: [link]. “Queeres Netzwerk NRW e.V.” is only responsible for this external content (i.e. also for illegal or punishable content) if certain knowledge of it can be established and if prevention of its use is both technically possible and can be reasonably expected (§5 Para.2 TDG).

However, ‘links’ are always dynamic references. The Queeres Netzwerk NRW e.V. has checked external content at the time of the initial link generation to determine whether it could give rise to civil or criminal liability. According to the Teleservices law (TDG), the content provider is not obliged to constantly check linked content to which it refers in its offer for changes that could give rise to a new responsibility.

Only if the organisation becomes aware or is informed by a third party that specific content to which it has provided a link triggers civil or criminal liability will the link to this external content be removed, insofar as this is both technically possible and can be reasonably expected.
Whether illegal or criminal content can still be accessed from other servers even after access from the “Queere Netzwerk NRW e.V.” website has been prevented has no bearing when judging whether technical possibility and reasonableness can be established within this context.
