Exclusion of liability

1. Online content
The diabetes information portal diabinfo.de makes independent, reliable, and comprehensible information available to patients, their relatives, the interested general public, and specialist medical staff. The portal aims to provide those affected with background information relating to their disease before consultation with a physician and facilitate their personal handling of their illness.

The content is in no way intended or suited to replace consultation with the treating physicians. diabinfo.de refers to currently available findings from evidence-based research and medical sources. It is unable to provide recommendations or assessments regarding any form of diagnosis or treatment. This also applies to the addresses of treatment facilities or organizations mentioned on diabinfo.de or for which links are provided. Furthermore, apart from the entities mentioned, there may be other competent and reliable entities and information sources available.

The primary aim of diabinfo.de is to present current and comprehensive information. The publishers assume no responsibility for completeness, correctness, or topicality. Patients should always discuss individual questions with their physician.

The publishers assume no responsibility for the topicality, accuracy, completeness and/or quality of the information provided in their online content. The publishers assume no liability for material or non-material damage caused by the utilization or non-utilization of the information or the utilization of incorrect and incomplete information, unless it can be proven that they acted intentionally or with gross negligence.
The publishers reserve the right to amend, supplement, delete, or temporarily or permanently remove part or all of the online content without advance notice or separate notification.

2. References and links
For direct or indirect referrals to external websites (“hyperlinks”), which are outside the responsibility of the publishers, the publishers shall only be liable if it can be proven that they were aware of illegal content and it would have been technically possible and feasible for them to block access to it.
The publishers hereby expressly declare that, at the time of referral, no illegal content was identifiable on the linked websites. The publishers have no influence on the current or future design, contents, or authorship on the linked websites. Therefore, the publishers hereby expressly distance themselves from the content on all linked pages that have been modified after the link is created. This statement applies to all references listed by the publishers within the scope of their online content. The operator of the referenced website bears sole liability for illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and for all damage resulting from the use or non-use of such information.

The editorial staff at diabinfo.de aim to use self-generated texts and graphics in all publications, to respect copyrights of texts and graphics used, or to use royalty-free texts and graphics.
All trademarks and brand names mentioned in the online content, including those protected by third parties, are subject, without exception, to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the registered owner.
