For other damages BestSecret shall be liable only in case of a breach of a material obligation under the contract or a material pre-contractual obligation is violated. Material contractual obligations can be described as such obligations that
protect the legal positions of the customer which are material to the contract and which have to be granted to the customer under the contract in terms of subject matter and purpose; material contractual obligations are also obligations
whose fulfillment makes the due performance of the contract possible in the first place and where the customer regularly relies on and may rely on compliance with such obligations, e.g. BestSecret has the obligation to hand over the goods
to the customer free from material defects and defects of title and to transfer the ownership to the customer. In such cases the liability, however, shall be limited to the amount of the damage typically foreseeable upon conclusion of
the contract. Cases of strict liability prescribed by law as well as the regulations of the German Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected by the forgoing provisions.
BestSecret will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with its obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises from any event, which is beyond its reasonable control and for which BestSecret is not accountable.
Events beyond BestSecret’s reasonable control, include strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, fire, explosion, storm, flood, subsidence, or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications
networks or impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.
