4. Third-party offers/ websites

RWE websites and RWE newsletters may contain links to external third-party websites. RWE also cooperates with various partner companies and presents their offers on the RWE websites or in the newsletter.

Any resulting contractual relationship shall be established exclusively with the partner company under the conditions specified by the partner company. RWE shall not be held liable for any third-party content. The provider or operator of the third-party website is always responsible for the content of any linked webpages. All linked webpages were carefully examined for possible legal violations at the time the hyperlink was added. Such illegal content was not identified at that time. However, constant monitoring of all linked webpages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of law. Upon knowledge of any legal violations, RWE will remove the hyperlinks to the affected webpages immediately.
