VI. Warranty
1. We are liable for defects according to the applicable legal regulations, in particular according to Sections 434 et seq. of the German Civil Code. This shall apply without prejudice to our limitation of liability in accordance with section VII.

1. Our liability for damages, regardless of the legal basis, is limited in accordance with this Section VII:
We shall not be liable in cases of simple negligence, unless a violation of essential contractual obligations has occurred. Essential contractual obligations are those imposed by the contract on the seller according to its contents in order to achieve the objective of the contract, the fulfilment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and the compliance with which the customer may ordinarily expect. Liability for breach of essential contractual obligations is limited to damages which we foresaw as a possible consequence of a breach of contract at the time of conclusion of the contract or which we should have foreseen if we had exercised due care (foreseeable damage typical of the contract). Additionally, indirect damages and consequential damages as well as the consequence of defects in the item are only eligible for compensation if such damages are typically to be expected when the item is used for its intended purpose.

2. The above limitations do not apply to our liability for intentional or grossly negligent behaviour, for guaranteed quality features, for injury to life, body or health, or according to the Product Liability Act.

3. The above liability regulations also apply with regard to our liability for our vicarious agents and legal representatives.

VIII. Applicable law, place of jurisdiction

For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the laws of the country in which the consumer habitually resides.

2. If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, Giessen/Germany is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with this contractual relationship, regardless of the legal basis.
