11. Limitations on liability
(1) Claims for damages by the contractual partner, irrespective of the legal basis, are excluded in the case of merely slightly negligent behavior on the part of Festo, unless they relate to the breach of an essential contractual obligation, i.e. an obligation the fulfillment of which is necessary to achieve the purpose of the contract and compliance with which the contractual partner does and is entitled to expect in the normal course of events. In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations through simple negligence, Festo's liability is limited to the typical damage that was foreseeable when the contract was concluded.
(2) The above limitation of liability and the above exclusion of liability do not apply to grossly negligent or willful action, to claims from a guarantee, to injury to life, limb or health or to claims under the Product Liability Act.
(3) Festo accepts no liability for damage or impairment of use for which it is not responsible.
(4) Insofar as Festo's liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of Festo's employees, workers, staff, representati-ves and vicarious agents.
12. Liability and warranty for Classroom Manager
As Festo is not the manufacturer of the Classroom Manager, but only sells it in cooperation with IMS, Festo assigns to the contractual partner any warranty claims it may have against IMS in the event of defects. The contractual partner accepts the assignment. The contractual partner is prevented from asserting claims directly against Festo to the extent of the assigned warranty claims, as long as he/she has not initially unsuccessfully asserted the assigned claims against IMS in writing out of court. The period of limitation vis-à-vis Festo is suspended for the duration of the enforcement of the warranty claims against IMS. If the contractual partner is unsuccessful in asserting warranty claims against IMS out of court, he/she can assert his/her own warranty claims directly against Festo. In this case, the assigned warranty claims against IMS are transferred back to Festo; the assignment is conditional to this ex-tent. The aforementioned limitation to subsidiary liability does not apply to claims for damages by the contractual partner due to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty or due to injury to body, health or life.
13. Third-party property rights / exemption
(1) The contractual partner is obliged not to violate any third-party rights when using Festo LX.
(2) In the event that a third party claims towards Festo that his/her rights have been violated, the contractual partner shall indemnify Festo from all related claims of the third party and from any damage that Festo incurs due to the third party's rights, including any court and legal fees. This does not apply if the contractual partner can prove that he/she is not responsible for the infringement.
14. Termination
(1) If a fixed term has been agreed, the contractual partner has no right to ordinary termination of the subscription agreement.
(2) The right of both parties to terminate for good cause remains unaffec-ted.
(3) Any notice of termination must be given at least in writing.
15. Force majeure
(1) Festo is not liable for the partial or complete failure to fulfil its obligations if such failure is due – in whole or in part – to circumstances that were not foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract and which can-not be overcome by Festo by reasonable means ("Force Majeure"). In any case the following events shall be deemed cases of Force Majeure: Strike, riot and civil unrest, war (whether declared or not), piracy, terro-rist threats, sabotage, fire, flood, earthquake and natural catastrophe, plagues (including epidemics and pandemics), acts of government, or any of the above circumstances affecting Festo’s sub-suppliers.
(2) In case of Force Majeure, Festo’s obligation under the respective Purchase Order is suspended for the period during which the impact of the Force Majeure event circumstances last, plus a reasonable start-up period thereafter. If the circumstances persist for a period of more than 90 days, Festo is entitled to terminate the subscription agree-ment/contract.
16. Changes to these T&Cs
Festo is entitled to change these T&Cs with future effect if this is neces-sary due to changes in legislation or case law, or other significant changes to the underlying framework conditions. Changes which impair the equivalence ratio between performance and counter-performance to the detriment of the contractual partner are accordingly not permissible. In this case, Festo will inform the contractual partner of the change in writing, by e-mail or by notification in Festo LX at least six weeks before the intended entry into force. The change is deemed to have been accepted if the contractual partner does not object in writing by the time it comes into effect. The contractual partner is expressly informed of this legal consequence when notice is given of the change.
17. Final provisions
(1) These T&Cs and the concluded subscription agreement are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
(2) The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Festo's registered office, insofar as the contractual partner is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The agreement on the place of jurisdiction applies exclusively to the contractual partner. Alternatively, Festo is also entitled to take legal action against the contractual partner at his/her general place of jurisdiction.
(3) Should any provision of these general terms and conditions be or beco-me invalid or unenforceable, this shall have no effect on the validity of the remaining provisions. Instead of the ineffective or unenforceable provision, the corresponding statutory provisions apply.
