Please also note the following information:

1. Content from other providers

The links on these pages to content from third-party websites ("third-party content") were created by the BDBOS (editorial team) to the best of its knowledge and with the greatest possible care and merely provide access to this third-party content. Particular attention was paid to the trustworthiness of third-party providers and the accuracy and legality of third-party content.

However, as the content of websites is dynamic and can change at any time, it is not always possible to check all content to which a link has been created on a case-by-case basis. The BDBOS therefore expressly does not adopt the content of third-party websites linked to its own website as its own. Liability for damages arising from the use or non-use of third-party content lies exclusively with the respective provider of the linked page.

2. Own content

Insofar as the content on these pages contains legal provisions, official notices, recommendations or information, it has been compiled to the best of our knowledge and with the greatest possible care. In the event of any discrepancies, however, only the current official version as published in the official publication medium designated for this purpose applies. Any legal notices, recommendations and information are non-binding; no legal advice is provided.

The following limitation of liability applies to the information provided: The BDBOS is not liable for any damages arising from the use or non-use of the information provided. No liability is accepted for any damage caused by computer viruses or the installation or use of software when accessing or downloading data.

3. Error messages

If this website contains links that refer to illegal or incorrect third-party content, the editorial team asks users of www.bdbos.bund.de to draw attention to this if necessary. Likewise, please inform us if our own content is not error-free, up-to-date, complete and comprehensible.
