Disclaimer/Limitation of Liability

General / Responsibility / Intellectual property rights / Copyright and trademarks / Communication / Data protection / Legal validity

General

We have taken the utmost care in preparing the content of our website. Despite meticulous work, we accept no liability for the correctness or the completeness of the contents; nor do we guarantee that they are up to date.

As a service provider we are responsible for our own web content pursuant to § 5 Telemediengesetz (TMG) (the German Telemedia Act) and to general legislation. However, pursuant to §§ 8–10 of the TMG, service providers are not obliged to monitor the external information transmitted or stored by them, or to research circumstances pointing to illegal activity. This does not affect their obligations pursuant to general legislation to delete or block the use of information. The latter liability only becomes possible, however, at the point that a concrete violation of the law becomes known. If such legal violations become known to us, we will remove the content in question immediately.

Our website contains links to the external websites of third parties (“external links”) over the content of which we have no control. We can therefore accept no responsibility for the content of these external links. Responsibility for external links always lies with the provider or operator of the website in question. At the time of linking, the external links were checked for possible legal violations. At the time of linking, no legal violations could be identified in the content of the external links. It is not reasonable to expect the provider to have permanent control over the external links without any concrete indication of a legal violation. If legal violations become known to us, however, we will remove the links in question immediately.

The website under the domain www.dgi-ev.de and/or www.dginet.de was created by the DGI, the German Association of Oral Implantology (DGI) and are its property. The content of the website is protected under global copyright, brand label and trademark agreements. It is intended to provide general information about the DGI e. V. and its services. All rights reserved. The website is made available to users “as is” and, as far as is legally permissible, without any (explicit or implicit) warranty, guarantee or liability.

The website provides a service for its users. The DGI e. V. reserves the right, without prior notice and for whatever reason, to delete, change or supplement the content of the website at any time.

The website provides information about the DGI e. V. and its fields of activity for its members together with health information of a general nature for the public and for patients. www.dgi-ev.de and/or www.dginet.de are conceived as an information and communications platform and portal to other websites for members of the medical and para-medical professions, for scientific associations and for German and foreign institutions, healthcare organs, doctors’ and dentists’ professional organisations, statutory public bodies, the general public, and patients. 

In particular, this website may contain information about:

• Various states of health
• Medical and dental issues concerning oral implantology as well as maxillofacial surgery
• General information
• General treatment procedures
• Medical and practical information
• Legal issues

This information should not be used as a substitute for the recommendations and advice of a doctor or dentist or other members of the medical and para-medical professions.
The medical and dental information on the website may not be used for the diagnosis or treatment of a health, medical or dental problem or of an illness. In such cases, please always consult a doctor or dentist or obtain medical advice.
Since over the course of time the information may become out of date, it is absolutely essential always to seek the advice of a doctor or dentist in order to obtain an appropriate clinical evaluation of your specific state or the specific state of individual patients.

Legal information, such as collections of court rulings, does not constitute legal advice or legal counselling. In cases of doubt pertaining to legal issues or questions of taxation law, please consult a lawyer or an accountant.    

Responsibility

We make a continuous effort to provide accurate and up-to-date information. We cannot, however, accept any responsibility or liability for the up-to-dateness, accuracy, completeness or quality of the statements made or the information supplied, or of that referred to. Any access to the information contained on our website or information we refer to as well as their use and content are the user’s own responsibility. 

The DGI e. V. accepts no liability for damage, of whatever kind, incurred in connection with accessing its website, and its use or non-use, whether direct or consequential damage, nor for any erroneous or incomplete information on its website.

Any product information is intended only for users in the Federal Republic of Germany, even if users outside the Federal Republic of Germany have access to this information.

The Hamburg district court ruled on 12 May 1998 (Az.: 312 0 85/98) that when a person includes a link on a website, he/she may under certain circumstances be responsible for the content of the external link, unless he/she has explicitly ruled out such responsibility.

Despite the fact that we take great care to provide good-quality links, we hereby declare that we accept no responsibility for the content of the external links and do not claim these as our own. This declaration applies to all links on our website. We are in no way responsible for the content of the websites that contain links to our site. We are not in a position to identify or check such links. All violations of applicable law, common decency and good conduct that become known to us will result in the immediate deletion of links, contributions, graphics or similar.

In including links to external websites (hyperlinks) the DGI e. V. claims neither these websites nor their content as its own. Furthermore, the DGI e. V. is not responsible for the availability of these websites or their content. Users follow hyperlink connections to these websites at their own risk. The provider of the linked website bears sole responsibility for its content and in particular for any damages ensuing from the use or non-use of information supplied in this way, not the provider who merely referred to the website in question. This restriction likewise applies to external contributions in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists. 

Furthermore, we have no influence on the way the information provided here is used, passed on, or passed on in altered form by the user; we can therefore not be liable for any damage incurred, lost advantages or any other direct or indirect consequences arising from the use of the information supplied here.

None of the information on this website may be used as advertising or as solicitations to purchase or use any product that can be construed as inadmissible under the laws of the country in which you are located. Certain links on this website lead to sources located on other servers that are operated by third parties and are therefore beyond our control. Therefore the DGI e. V. can accept no liability for the correctness, accuracy or any other aspect of information on such servers.   

Copyright and trademarks

The content and works included on this website by the site operator are subject to German copyright law. Contributions by third parties are identified as such. The duplication, processing, dissemination or any other kind of utilisation beyond that permitted by copyright law requires the written permission of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this website are permitted only for private, not for commercial use.

Should you want to download and use content from our website, please contact us.

The website operators always strive to observe the copyright of others or to use self-created or license-free works. 

The downloading and use of data – with the exception of press releases – for other purposes requires the written permission of the DGI e. V. In particular, use of the DGI e.V. logo by non-members of the DGI e.V. or the wrongful use of the DGI e.V. logo by any natural or legal person is prohibited. 

All protected brand labels and trademarks named on the website, including those of third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the respective applicable trademark legislation and the ownership rights of each registered owner. It cannot be concluded merely because they are named that brand labels and trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties.

The use or misuse of brand labels and trademarks or any other materials – other than in the permissible parameters stipulated here – is prohibited and may violate copyright regulations, trademark law or other legal provisions.

The DGI e. V. endeavours to respect the copyright on all graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, or else to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts that we have created ourselves or that are license-free. Should a graphic, sound document, video sequence or text be located on our website that is protected by the copyright of a third party but not identified as such, then this means we have been unable to establish copyright. In the event of such an unintentional violation of copyright we will, following notification, remove the object from our website or identify the copyright in question. The copyright for published objects created by the author his- or herself remains with the author of the website. The duplication or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express agreement of the author.

The DGI e. V. accepts no responsibility for the up-to-dateness, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the DGI e. V. referring to material or immaterial damage, or damage to intellectual property, incurred through the use or non-use of the information provided or through the use of erroneous or incomplete information are fundamentally ruled out unless this can be proven to have been caused wilfully or through gross negligence.

All parts of the website are subject to change without notice and are non-binding. The DGI e. V. expressly reserves the right to change, to supplement or to delete parts or pages of its website or its entire website or else to take the website offline temporarily or permanently.
 

Communication

Should a user respond to the information and documents published on the website by sending back information, including feedback in the form of questions, statements, suggestions or similar, this information shall not be regarded as confidential. The DGI e. V. may duplicate, use, publish and disseminate such information without restriction. The DGI e. V. may use ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in this information without hindrance for any purpose.

Data voluntarily submitted to the DGI e. V., such as name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number and other personal information, may be recorded and stored as outlined within the legal stipulations. The information recorded by us will be used to improve the service on our website and can be used to contact you either by e-mail or via the regular postal service and to provide you with information that may be of interest to you. 

Should you send any messages to this website or to the DGI e. V. or its regional branches, you are yourself responsible for their content and the information contained in them as well as for their accuracy and correctness.   

Data protection

Insofar as personal data (for example name, postal address or e-mail address) are recorded on our website, this will always be done as far as possible on a voluntary basis. The use of the services on this website, where possible, is always possible without giving personal data.

We draw your attention to the fact that data transmission (e.g. communication by e-mail) through the Internet can pose security risks. It is not possible to provide 100 percent protection of data from access by third parties. Confidentiality with respect to data protection regulations can therefore be guaranteed only subject to the aforementioned limitations. In particular, personal data should only be transmitted via the Internet if they do not affect the rights of third parties, unless the third party in question has given his/her approval after being aware of the security risks mentioned above. The site operator can accept no liability for damage incurred as a result of the above-mentioned security risks nor for claims for a cease and desist order.

When a user logs into the website, so-called cookies will be used to identify that user for the duration of the session. A cookie will be stored on the user's computer during his or her visit to the website and automatically deleted upon termination of the session.

Each time a user accesses the platform, the access data are stored on the server. The platform uses the logs in an anonymised form for statistical evaluations, so that no attribution or reference to the user is possible.

In addition, statistical tools will be used that, above and beyond the data described above, track movements on the website and record the following technical information that is automatically transmitted by your browser: availability, Javascript, Java, Flash, monitor resolution, browser version, operating system, length of the session, returning users, geographical origin, and Internet address (IP address).

The statistical tools currently in use are:

- Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/)

To read the data protection regulations of the statistical tools used, please contact the operator of these tools directly.

None of the data collected can be attributed to an individual user. These data will not be merged with data from other sources. The stored data will be used exclusively for statistical purposes.
