Upon becoming aware of such violations of the law, such links will - as far as technically possible and reasonable - be removed immediately.
Tintometer hereby expressly declares that at the time the link was created, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. Tintometer has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. It hereby expressly distances itself from all contents of all linked pages.
This statement applies to all links and references (including banners) set within the own internet offers as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists and all discussion forms of databases set up by Tintometer, to whose content external write accesses are possible.

The same applies to possible loopholes in the provisions.
