We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. Statutory warranty rights apply.

• for guarantee commitments, where agreed
• insofar as the scope of application of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 is open

For breach of material contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which make the proper execution of the contract possible at all and which the contracting parties may generally rely on and trust in being complied with, due to slight negligence by us, our legal representatives or legal agents, the amount of liability is limited to the foreseeable damages at the time of contract conclusion, the occurrence of which must typically be anticipated.
Ceteris paribus, claims for compensation for damages are excluded.

10. Online dispute resolution
