Compensatory claims – irrespective of their legal grounds – and claims to replace wasted expenses against proMX AG which presuppose mild negligence exist only if an essential contractual obligation was breached (cardinal obligation). A cardinal obligation is an obligation whose fulfillment in itself makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and in whose adherence the contract partner con regularly trust. The liability for mild negligence herein regulated is dependend on the case of damage limited to the predictable typically occurring damage. proMX AG is liable to the extent of the annual value of services during whose execution the damage occurred paid to proMX AG but a maximum of € 60,000.00. Liability for lost proceeds is excluded.
This limitation of liability is final. It is binding for all compensatory claims independent of their legal reason, especially in sight of any pre-contractual or collateral contract claims.
proMX AG ist not liable for any damages or disadvantages which are a result of the fact that a computer system or a part thereof must be turned off or is otherwise impaired during the operating times of the customer for installation or maintenance reasons. However, the customer has the right to expressly ask that proMX AG not execute repair or maintenance work during specified hours.
