The above limitations of liability do not apply if the seller fraudulently concealed a defect or issued a guarantee for the nature of the products. The above limitations of liability also do not apply to claims for damages which are directed towards compensation for any injury to life, body or damage to health caused by a defect for which the seller is responsible or for damages based on a wilful or grossly negligent breach of the seller obligations or its vicarious agents.

If products are delivered with apparent damage to the packaging or the content, the customers should, without prejudice to statutory warranty rights (§ 6), complain to the freight forwarder/deliverer immediately and contact the seller as soon as possible by email or other means (post), so that the seller can claim own rights against the freight forwarder/deliverer.
§ 8 Disclaimer of liability
(1) Outside of liability for material defects and defects of title, the seller has unlimited liability insofar as the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence. The seller is also liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential duties (duties, the breach of which jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the purchase contract) as well as for the violation of cardinal duties (duties, the fulfilment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on the observance of which the customer regularly trusts) , but only for the foreseeable, contract typical damage.
