8. RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEFECTS, INDEMNIFICATION
8.1
If the delivered goods do not have the quality agreed between the supplier and the customer or if they are not suitable for the use required by the contract or for general use or if they do not have the properties that the customer could expect according to our public statements, then the provider is obliged to subsequent performance. This does not apply if the provider is entitled to refuse subsequent performance based on statutory regulations. The customer must grant the provider a reasonable period of time for supplementary performance in this regard.
8.2
Subsequent performance is at the customer's option, either by eliminating the defect or by delivering new goods. During the supplementary performance period, the customer is not entitled to reduce the purchase price or withdraw from the contract. If the provider has tried the supplementary performance twice in vain, this is considered to have failed. If the supplementary performance has failed, the customer is entitled to choose between reducing the purchase price or withdrawing from the contract.
8.3
The customer can only assert claims for damages due to a defect in accordance with the following paragraphs if subsequent performance according to paragraph 2 above has failed. The right of the customer to assert further claims for damages under the following conditions remains unaffected.
8.4
The provider is liable without limitation in accordance with the statutory provisions for damage to life, limb or health that is based on a culpable breach of duty by the provider, his legal representatives or his vicarious agents.
8.5
The provider is also liable within the framework of a quality and/or durability guarantee if he has given such a guarantee with regard to the delivered item. If damage occurs which is based on the fact that the quality or durability guaranteed by the provider is missing and this damage does not occur directly on the goods delivered by the provider, the provider is only liable for this if the risk of such damage is evident is covered by the quality and durability guarantee.
8.6
If a damage is based on the simply negligent breach of a material contractual obligation, i.e. an obligation whose fulfillment makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the customer as the buyer can regularly rely, the provider is also liable for such damage.
9. REFERRAL PROGRAMS, LOYALTY PROGRAMS
As part of our marketing activities, we use referral programs and/or loyalty programs. We allow one valid email address per customer to accumulate points or prizes in these programs. If we detect that multiple email addresses are being used by a single customer, or if we suspect any fraudulent use of different email addresses, we reserve the right to cancel all points or prizes.
