Complaints by the buyer regarding the services and products delivered or regarding the amount on the invoice, do not defer the payment obligations.

Article 9: Liability

1. In the event that the seller is liable for any damage, then such liability of seller shall be limited to the direct damage.

The liability of seller shall in any event be limited to the sum for which seller is insured.
2. Seller shall not be liable for indirect damages, such as consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of savings and damages due to business interruption. Furthermore, seller shall not be liable for damages arising from the fact that seller has operated on the basis of incorrect or incomplete information provided by or on behalf of the purchaser.
3. Direct damages shall be strictly interpreted as: the reasonable costs incurred to establish the cause and the volume of the damage, the reasonable costs incurred to continue to perform the agreement correctly and the reasonable costs to prevent or limit the damage. These costs shall only fall under direct damage if it is established that the damage can be attributed to seller.
4. The limitation of liability of seller shall only be valid where there is no question of damage being caused as a direct consequence of intentional act or omission or gross negligence on the part of seller, one of its subordinates or any third parties engaged.
5. If seller cannot or cannot properly fulfil the agreement due to the fault of purchaser, then purchaser shall be liable for all direct and indirect damage suffered by seller.
6. The buyer shall indemnify seller against possible claims filed by third parties who may sustain damage in connection with the execution of the agreement, the cause of which is attributable to parties other than seller. If for that reason seller should be held liable by third parties, the buyer shall be held to assist seller in legal proceedings and otherwise and to do forthwith all that may be expected of him in that event. Should the buyer fail to take adequate measures, the seller will be entitled to do so, without notice of default being required. All costs and damages incurred by seller and third parties as a result will be fully at the expense and risk of the buyer.

2. In addition to the definition of force majeure in law and in case law, force majeure shall also include all external causes, foreseen or unforeseen, over which seller cannot exercise any control and as a result of which seller is unable to meet its obligations. Such circumstances may include, inter alia: strikes, technical disruptions, illness of personnel deployed, government measures, breakdowns, etc.
3. Seller shall be entitled to suspend its obligations during the period of force majeure. Seller shall have no obligation to compensate for any damages arising from such force majeure circumstances.
