A scientific advisory board appointed by the governing board of this Division guides the book series and supports its editorial development.
GNT Publishing GmbH operates this website and undertakes publishing responsibilities for the book series. Rights in individual publications, texts, photographs, illustrations and other materials are governed by the respective rights ownership and contractual arrangements.
The cooperation with GDCh does not change the legally required identification of the website operator set out above.
3. Copyright and Use of Content
The texts, photographs, illustrations, book covers, sample pages, PDF documents and other material published on this website are protected to the extent provided by applicable law.
The rights are held by GNT Publishing GmbH, the respective authors or other rights holders.
Reproduction, adaptation, translation, republication and other uses requiring permission are subject to the prior consent of the respective rights holders.
Statutory permissions remain unaffected. For content expressly published under an open licence, the respective licence terms apply within the scope of the rights granted.
This applies in particular to publications specifically identified as being licensed under a Creative Commons licence.
4. Reservation of Rights for Artificial Intelligence and Text and Data Mining
To the extent that GNT Publishing GmbH is itself a rights holder or is authorised to declare a reservation of rights, it expressly reserves the use of protected content on this website for text and data mining (TDM) pursuant to Section 44b(3) of the German Copyright Act (Urheberrechtsgesetz, UrhG) and Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790.
This reservation covers in particular the automated collection, reproduction, extraction and processing of protected content to compile training datasets and to develop, train, fine-tune, test or validate artificial intelligence (AI) systems and models.
Such use requires prior permission from the respective rights holders unless it is permitted by law or under a separate licence.
The mere public accessibility of content does not grant any corresponding permission. This reservation is also declared in machine-readable form.
Ordinary search engine indexing and legally permissible search-result snippets remain unaffected.
Statutory exceptions, in particular for quotations and certain forms of scientific research, as well as open licences already validly granted, remain fully unaffected.

Linked external websites are the responsibility of their respective third-party operators. Providing a link does not mean that we adopt all content published there as our own. Where specific indications of legal violations arise, the relevant links will be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

GNT Publishing GmbH is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.
