2.1 Information on MBE, general organisational questions concerning all trade fairs, dates of individual trade fairs as well as general information on the programme of a particular trade fair.

2.2. Information which Exhibitors have supplied about themselves to MBE and this is information from an external source for which MBE shall accept no responsibility.

2.3. Information which may only be accessed by the user by selecting a hyperlink.

MBE is not aware of any infringement of rights by the information from an external source on its Website.

4.2 MBE shall not be responsible for information from an external source to which it merely provides access. This shall apply in particular to information which can be accessed by selecting a hyperlink.
