15. Liability

The customer's claims for damages or reimbursement of wasted expenses against the seller, regardless of the legal nature of the claim, are governed exclusively by the provisions of this contract and are to be asserted outside of warranty law. The seller's liability – regardless of the legal basis – is excluded unless the damage is due to intent and/or gross negligence on the part of the seller, its employees, representatives, or vicarious agents. To the extent that the seller's liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of its employees, representatives, or vicarious agents. The seller's liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected (Section 14 of the Product Liability Act).

Our products are intended for technically trained customers. We assume a fundamental knowledge of the product characteristics and the associated risks. Operating instructions, user manuals, and data sheets are available for download exclusively on our website. The seller is liable in accordance with statutory provisions for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health and based on an intentional, grossly negligent, or negligent breach of duty by the seller or its legal representatives or vicarious agents. If the seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), its liability is limited to the damage typically incurred, i.e., to damages that can regularly be expected within the scope of the contract. A material contractual obligation is one whose fulfillment is necessary for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the customer can rely.
