Liability for links to websites of third parties

The published links are researched and compiled with utmost care. The City of Osnabrück does not have any influence on the current and future design and content of the linked websites. It is not responsible for the content of the linked sites, and does not embrace their content as its own. The provider of the linked website alone is responsible for illegal, inaccurate or incomplete contents as well as for any damage arising from the use or disuse of the information. Those who only refer to the publication by means of a link are excluded from liability. The City of Osnabrück is only responsible for external references if it is aware of any possible illegal or criminal content, for instance, and if it is technically possible and reasonable to prevent their use.

Copyright

Updating and liability

The City of Osnabrück endeavours to ensure the accuracy and validity of all information and data contained on its website. However, no liability or guarantee can be given for the validity, accuracy or completeness of the information and data provided. Liability for any damage arising from the use of the information retrieved can by no means be assumed. The City of Osnabrück reserves the right to make changes or additions to the information or data provided without notification.

Responsible parties

The content of the municipal information provided is co-ordinated by the Press and Information Office, and is realised in co-operation with the municipal departments. Numerous other establishments are also involved.

Access pursuant to § 3a of the Administrative Procedures Act (Verwaltungsverfahrensgesetz: VwVfG)

With its virtual post office, the City of Osnabrück offers its citizens and public and private corporate bodies the possibility of safe, legally binding electronic communication.

For the area governed by administrative procedures, electronic communication complies with § 3a of the Administrative Procedures Act (VwVfG) in conjunction with § 1 section 1 of the Lower Saxony Administrative Procedures Act (Niedersächsisches Verwaltungsverfahrensgesetz: Nds. VwVfG). In accordance with these acts, the transfer of electronic documents is permissible insofar as the recipient has established access for doing so. The equivalent applies in civil law pursuant to § 126a of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch: BGB).

The City of Osnabrück establishes this access according to the requirements of the framework conditions that apply exclusively to communication with the City of Osnabrück and not to third parties (linked establishments, other authorities, tax offices, and so on).

Suitability for the disabled

This website is designed to be suitable for the disabled to the greatest possible extent. The regulations governing information technology suitable for the disabled according to the Information Technology Suitable for the Disabled Decree (Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung: BITV) have been realised. Since, however, technical modules such as a geographic information system (see city map or zoning map) have been included that have not been constructed with suitability for the disabled in mind, there are a few areas that may not be accessible to the handicapped. Not only does the City of Osnabrück provide an environment that is suitable for the disabled to the greatest possible extent, it also supplies information on the suitability of municipal buildings for the disabled. The City of Osnabrück was supported in the realisation of these measures by WEB for ALL (www.webforall.info) as well as the Osnabrück Forum for the Disabled (Behindertenforum Osnabrück).

The pages may only be duplicated for private use; they may not be altered; and duplicates may not be distributed or used for public reproduction.

The photos and pictures originate from the picture library of the Press and Information Office or from the individual departments’ sources. Photos taken from the picture libraries PhotoCase and Pixelio, which are freely available on the web, have also been implemented.

Intellectual property rights of the geodata

In the case of cartographic data (§ 2 Number 7 of the UrhG), copyright refers to the type of portrayal. Aerial views are also protected (§ 72 of the UrhG).

Nearly all of the available digital geodata are also contained in databases that are subject to protection against exploitation pursuant to § 87a ff. of the UrhG. This protection also extends to data that are automatically visualised.

The data available via Osnabrück zoning map may only be freely used within the framework stipulated by the German Copyright Act. The production of single duplicates for private use is permissible pursuant to § 53 of the UrhG.

Ordinary right of use and enjoyment must be requested for any further use (§ 31 of the UrhG). Above all, this applies to the publication, dissemination and commercial use of protected data.
