3. Permitted Uses

3.1 All rights, in particular trademark rights and any copyrights, in the Content provided via the product database shall accrue to Bitburger or be exercised by Bitburger. Unless otherwise provided for in the specific description of the Content within the product database from which additional restrictions in terms of territory, subject-matter or time may arise in respect of the rights of use granted below, the following rights of use shall apply.

4. Warranty and Liability

4.1 The user itself shall be exclusively responsible for adherence to the restrictions applicable to the respective Content in terms of territory, time and subject-matter and shall, when using the Content concerned, observe the applicable statutory provisions, in particular the stipulations under competition law and under the law on the protection of young persons.

4.3 Bitburger shall be liable to the user without limitation in cases of culpable mortal injury, bodily harm or health damage, in the case of claims under the Produkthaftungsgesetz [Product Liability Act] and in the case of any other intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duties. Bitburger shall be liable for slight or ordinary negligence and for property damage or pecuniary loss caused by such negligence only in cases of a breach of material contractual duties where fulfilment is a prerequisite for the proper implementation of the contract, and where the user may particularly expect fulfilment, but liability shall be limited to the loss that is typical of this type of contract and is foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract. Further liability for damages is ruled out regardless of the legal nature of the claim asserted.
