8. Liability and Warranty
8.1 Liability
Arjada GmbH is not liable for damage, when it is demonstrably apparent that defects and malfunctions, as well as loss of data, were caused by the Customer’s improper use of the arja.beryll® program or disregard of the operation recommendations specified in paragraph 11 below (customer guideline). Arjada GmbH is likewise not liable when, for reasons beyond its control, it is prevented from fulfilling its contractual obligations in a timely and proper manner.
As a general rule, Arjada GmbH is liable for data loss or damage to the program only in the demonstrable event of intent or gross negligence on its part. The limitation of liability applies equally for damage caused by intent or gross negligence on the part of employees or representatives of the contractor.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Arjada GmbH is liable only for intent and gross negligence on its part. If at fault, liability for direct damage, including claims based on non-fulfillment, default or negligence, shall be limited, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to a maximum of twice the annual license fee per claim.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Arjada GmbH does not assume liability for itself or its employees or contractors in the event of indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use of arja.beryll® programs and the outcome thereof, such as loss of profit, other losses or unrealized savings, additional expenses based on reduced operation or failure or claims against third parties.
