Disclaimer

Our electronic resources are provided exclusively for purposes related to studying, teaching, or research at WU, or for personal use. Third parties are not permitted to use the electronic resources, and the resources must not be passed on to any third parties either. It is also strictly prohibited to use the resources for commercial purposes, to download content from the resources systematically or through automated systems, and to republish any content from the resources provided. These provisions also apply to external platforms, in particular artificial intelligence systems, that make it possible for third parties to store content from the resources and use it at some point in the future.

In the event of a violation of these rules, WU may disclose the infringing user’s contact data to its contractual partners or block the user from accessing the electronic resources. Any costs and damages resulting from claims made against WU because of infringements of the rights of third parties caused by a user shall be borne by the individual responsible.

Due to specific licensing regulations, access to certain resources may be limited to WU employees and WU students, or granted only under specific conditions, e.g. on-site access from library premises only.
