(4) In these cases, Cert-IT will immediately try to find an alternative date.

 

(5) Event fees already paid will be reimbursed by Cert-IT in these cases. Further liability and damage claims, in particular the reimbursement of costs due to loss of work, travel or hotel costs, etc. do not exist, unless these are based on intentional or grossly negligent behavior on the part of Cert-IT, our legal representatives or employees or other vicarious agents.

 

§ 8 Liability, Damages

A. Liability towards entrepreneurs:

 

(1) The liability of Cert-IT for damages, for whatever legal reason, in particular due to impossibility, delay, defective performance, breach of contract, breach of obligations during contract negotiations and tortious acts, insofar as fault is involved, is in accordance with this § 8 A restricted.

 

(2) Cert-IT is not liable in the case of simple negligence on the part of its organs, legal representatives, employees or other vicarious agents, unless there is a breach of essential contractual obligations. An obligation is essential to the contract, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which you, as a test participant, can regularly rely.

 

(3) Insofar as Cert-IT is basically liable for damages in accordance with § 8 (2), this liability is limited to damages that we foreseen as a possible consequence of a breach of contract when the contract was concluded or that we should have foreseen if we had applied due diligence. In addition, indirect damage and consequential damage can only be compensated if such damage is typically to be expected.

 

(4) No liability is assumed for objects brought into the event room by the participant during an examination.

 

(5) The above exclusions and limitations of liability apply to the same extent in favor of our organs, legal representatives, employees and other vicarious agents.

 

(6) The limitations of this § 8 do not apply to our liability due to intentional conduct, due to injury to life, limb or health or under the Product Liability Act or due to a guarantee assumed by us.

 

B. Liability towards consumers:

 

(1) We have unlimited liability

- in the event of intent or gross negligence,

- for injury to life, limb or health,

- according to the provisions of the Product Liability Act and

- within the scope of a guarantee assumed by us.

 

(2) Furthermore, we are liable for the violation of essential contractual obligations. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation, we shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage that is typical for the type of transaction in question, unless the claims for damages result from injury to life, limb or health. An obligation is essential to the contract, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which you, as a test participant, can regularly rely.

 

(3) There are no further liability claims against us, regardless of the legal nature of the claims you have made against us. In particular, no liability is assumed for objects brought into the event room by the participant during an examination. Our liability according to paragraph B. 1 above remains unaffected by this.

 

(4) The above limitation of liability also applies to the personal liability of employees, representatives and organs of Cert-IT.

B. The following applies to all other customers, especially consumers:

​

(1) Choice of law: Contracts including these General Terms and Conditions are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany.
