  1. Warranty, Maintenance Periods, Liability

 

9.1       The claim to use our services exists exclusively within the current state of the art.

 

9.2       The statutory liability for defects applies. We reserve the right to interrupt or limit access to content for a short period of time if this is necessary with respect to capacity limitations, the security or integrity of the servers or to carry out maintenance work. We will inform you in advance of any such measures, if possible. For technical reasons in particular it may not be possible to access the activated content temporarily or only to a limited extent (unanticipated system failures). Otherwise, the statutory warranty applies.

 

9.3       Claims for damages due to violation of duty and tort as well as claims for reimbursement of futile expenses are excluded against us as well as against our vicarious agents and assistants.

 

9.4      The aforementioned limitation of liability shall not apply in the event of intent or gross negligence, as well as in the case of violation of essential contractual duties, i. e. such contractual duties which make the proper execution of the contract possible and on the compliance of which you may regularly rely, and the violation of which on the other hand would jeopardize the achievement of the purpose of the contract. Furthermore, it shall not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health if we are responsible for the violation of duty.

In the event of a conflict with you, we shall endeavour to find a mutually acceptable solution. Since arbitration boards are liable for costs, with regard to your properly understood interest in minimizing expenses, we do not voluntarily participate in dispute settlement proceedings.

 

12.4     Should one of the provisions of this agreement be or become void or invalid, the remainder of the contract shall not be affected. By mutual agreement, the parties shall replace such provisions by such new, valid provisions which most closely correspond the purpose of the contract.
