§ 7 Warranty

The Contractor shall be liable for material defects and defects of title in accordance with the provisions of the BGB for the contract for work and services. However, the Client shall first assert the rights to rectification. If this fails, the Customer shall be entitled to the further rights (owner’s right to carry out the work , contract withdrawal, price reduction, damages).

§ 8 Liability

The Contractor shall only be liable for intent and gross negligence – except in the case of breach of essential contractual obligations, injury to life, body or health or in the case of claims under the Product Liability Act.
