There is also no right of cancelation if newspapers, journals and magazines are to be delivered.

The Contractor shall also be liable for minor negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations, including by his legal representatives or auxiliary persons. Significant contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment makes the proper execution of the contract possible, and whose would jeopardize the achievement of the purpose of the contract and which may be trusted by the contracting authority.

If the aforementioned objects are to be insured, this shall be done by the customer himself, unless some other agreement has been made.
The customer is solely liable if the execution of his order violates the rights of third parties, in particular copyright laws, trademark or patent rights and the like. In such cases, the customer has to release the contractor from all third-party claims for such infringements.

This does not apply, when the deterioration of the merchandise occurs in cases where damage to an item is solely a result of its inspection, such as would be possible in a shop. The obligation to pay compensation for goods that have deteriorated in spite of correct handling can be avoided altogether if you stop using them further and refrain from treating the goods as your own property and refrain from doing anything which will detract from their value.
