contractual obligation is not due to intention or gross negligence, the liability
of a party shall be limited to such damages being typical for the contract and
which were reasonably foreseeable at the time of the closure of the contract.
Where these Terms and Conditions preclude or limit liability, this also applies
to the personal liability of the executive officers of the party concerned, its
employees, agents and subcontractors. The provisions of the product liability
law (Produkthaftungsgesetz) remain unaffected.
If, when a claim made under this warranty is checked, it emerges that it is
outside the permitted time period or is not covered by the warranty or that the
product is not defective, the customer will reimburse WACOM for associated
costs.
This limited warranty shall apply if the registered office of the vendor is
situated in the EU or Iceland, Norway, Jersey, Switzerland, Russia, the
Ukraine, Croatia, Serbia, Tunisia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel,
Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iran or South Africa. This warranty is subject
to German law. However, the applicability of the United Nations Convention
on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is explicitly excluded. The
city of Düsseldorf, Germany, is the sole place of jurisdiction for all claims
arising from this contractual relationship and all disputes between the parties
resulting from the formation, handling or termination of the contractual
relationship, provided that the customer is a trader, a legal entity or fund
under public law. The jurisdiction agreement shall also apply for customers
who do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany. The jurisdiction
agreement shall not apply if, due to legal provisions, a different sole place of
jurisdiction must be established for the case.
Furthermore, WACOM is authorised to file a lawsuit against the headquarters
of the customer.
Should one of the provisions of this limited warranty be or become void, the
validity of the other provisions shall not be affected, in full or in part. Should a
provision be invalid, the legally permissible regulation most closely resembling
the invalid regulation shall apply in its place. If you have any questions about
this agreement, or would like to contact WACOM for another reason, please
