The supplier shall pay all damages awarded in a trial or agreed to be paid to a third party if the customer has acted in accordance with the foregoing.
11.3 If in the reasonable opinion of the supplier a deliverable infringes third party intellectual property rights in the agreed country of delivery or use or if such infringement has been confirmed in a trial, the supplier shall and may at its own expense and discretion either (a) obtain the right to continue use of the deliverable for the customer; (b) replace the deliverable with a product or service that complies with the agreement and corresponds to the deliverables; or (c) modify the deliverable in order to eliminate the infringement in such a manner that the modified deliverable complies with the agreement.

the agreement wholly or in part without either party having the right to claim damages.
12.3 If the delivery is delayed due to a reason attributable to a party and does not take place within a reasonable extension of time, such extension of time to be at least 30 days, set by the non-breaching party in writing, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to cancel the agreement with respect to the products and services whose delivery is delayed, provided that the delay is of a substantial importance to the non-breaching party and the delayed party knew or should have known this.
12.4 A party shall also be entitled to cancel the agreement wholly or in part if the other party is otherwise materially in breach of the terms of the agreement and the breach is of substantial importance to
the non-breaching party. If the breach is capable of being remedied, the agreement may be cancelled only if the party in breach has not rectified its breach within a reasonable period of time set by the other party in writing, such period to be at least 30 days.
12.5 The supplier shall also be entitled to cancel the agreement wholly or in part if the customer has not paid a due and correct payment within 30 days of a written overdue payment reminder and the

12.6 A party shall be entitled to cancel the agreement wholly or in part prior to the date of its fulfilment if it becomes evident that the other party will commit a breach of the agreement justifying its cancellation. Such cancellation of the agreement shall, however, be invalid, if the other party either provides an acceptable guarantee for the fulfilment of the agreement or presents other reliable
clarification of the fulfilment of the agreement promptly following receipt of the notice of cancellation.
12.7 If the customer cancels the agreement with respect to a product or service, the customer shall also have the right to cancel at the same time the agreements between the parties with respect to other
products and services which relate to the same delivery entity and which due to the above-mentioned cancellation can no longer be used essentially for the benefit of the customer.
12.8 In order for the cancellation to be valid, the party cancelling the agreement must inform the other party thereof in writing.
12.9 If a party shall be entitled to cancel the agreement, the party shall also have the right suspend its performance by giving written notice to the other party. The right of the party to suspend its performance ends, if the other party either provides an acceptable guarantee for the fulfilment of the agreement or presents other reliable clarification of the fulfilment of the agreement promptly following receipt of the notice of suspension.
13 LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
13.1 The parties shall agree liability for damages and limitation of such liability in writing. To the extent the parties have not agreed otherwise in writing regarding liability for damages and limitation of liability, the terms set out in sections 13.2 – 13.5 shall apply.

However, where solely a fixed term product or service provided against a recurring charge or solely a product or service agreed until further notice and provided against a recurring charge is concerned, the maximum liability for damages shall not, excluding possible liquidated damages payable due to delay, service credits or other similar contractual penalties or credits, exceed in aggregate the calculatory monthly price for the product or service at the point of breach of contract, excluding value added tax, multiplied by 6. If the breaching party has an obligation to pay liquidated damages payable due to delay, service credits or other similar contractual penalties or credits, the breaching party is also liable to pay damages only for the part of the loss exceeding the liquidated damages payable due to delay, service credits or other similar contractual penalties or credits.

13.4 Neither party shall be liable for the destruction, loss or alteration of the other party’s data or data files, nor for any damages and expenses incurred as a result, including expenses involved in the reconstitution of data files. This section 13.4 shall not apply, if a party’s obligations under the agreement comprise taking back-up copies of the other party’s data or data files or managing the other party’s data security and that party has not fulfilled this duty.
13.5 The limitations of liability shall not apply to liability under sections 7 and 11 or damages caused by (a) the transfer, copying or use of deliverables contrary to law or the terms and conditions of the agreement; (b) breach of section 15.1; or (c) wilful conduct or gross negligence.

resolved in the district court of the respondent’s place of domicile if the respondent does not contest its payment obligation.

shall be resolved in the district court.
