Common use of COMPENSATION Clause in Contracts

COMPENSATION. 1. We are only liable for compensation, for any legal reason, if: - we, our legal representatives or our vicarious agents have acted intentionally or through gross negligence; - we have given guarantees for the fulfillment of these guarantees to the agreed extent; guarantees must be in writing and must be expressly designated as such; - there is a risk of injury to life, limb and health, - there exists any other mandatory legal liability (e.g., product liability law, environmental liability law, etc.) 2. In cases of slight negligence (except in the cases of No. 1), we are only liable for damages, regardless of the legal reason, only in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, our liability for damages is limited to compensation of typical, foreseeable damages. The customer is obligated to notify us in writing of any special risks, atypical damage possibilities and unusual amounts of damage before the contract is concluded. Liability for any further consequential damage, lack of economic success, indirect damages and damages arising from claims by third parties is excluded. 3. If the object of the purchase contract is only a specific item attributed to a category, then our liability in this case shall be exclusively determined in accordance with the above rules. Liability for compensation regardless of fault is excluded. 4. The above provisions regarding liability shall also apply to legal claims from the customer for reimburse- ment of futile expenses as well as for the personal liability of our employees, workers, employees, repre- sentatives and agents.
