The Vendor is liable for damages exclusively on the grounds of section 6.
Otherwise, statutory provisions shall apply for the warranty.

In the case of slight negligence resulting in a breach of contractual obligations, liability shall be limited in its amount to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage. The preceding limitations of liability apply also for the benefit of legal representatives and vicarious agents of lettersoup. The above-mentioned limitations of liability are not valid in case of fraudulent concealment of a damage, or in case warranty for the condition of the goods or service has been assumed on part of lettersoup. The same shall apply for claims of the customer according to the Product Liability Act.

All contracts entered between lettersoup and the customer, as well as these General Terms and Conditions, shall be subject to the Law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN-Convention on Contract for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The statutory provisions for limiting the choice of law and the applicability of mandatory provisions in particular by the state, in which the customer has his habitual residence, shall remain unaffected.
For all conflicts the sole jurisdiction for both parties is agreed to be Berlin, provided the other party is a trader, a legal entity under public law, or a separate public estate.
