Heidelberg University Hospital therefore expressly declares that, at the time the links were created, the linked websites were free of illegal content. The Hospital has no influence over the current or future design or content of the linked third-party websites. It therefore expressly dissociates itself from all content on linked websites that has been modified after the links were created.
