This applies specifically to the teaching and learning materials of MEYLE AG and to articles that are protectable by copyright which are produced by participants during an e-learning course either individually or jointly.
Disclosure to third parties and/or use outside of the e-learning course of MEYLE AG is explicitly only permissible subject to the approval in writing of the author.
