-           in the case of own intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty and intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by legal representatives or vicarious agents;
-           in the case of violation of material contractual obligations. “Material contractual obligations” are obligations that protect the legal positions of the customer which have to be specifically granted to the customer under the contract in terms of subject matter and purpose.

6.4 Our liability is limited in amount for each individual event of damage to a maximum liability coverage of EUR 1,000.00. This shall not apply if we or our vicarious agents are responsible for fraudulent intent, intent or gross negligence, for claims due to injury to life, limb or health, and in the case of a claim based on an unlawful act or an expressly assumed guarantee or the assumption of a procurement risk according to Section 276 BGB or in cases of different higher liability coverage prescribed by law. Any further liability shall be excluded.

6.5 Exclusion resp. limitation of liability according to para. 6.1 to 6.4 above and para. 6.6 shall apply to the same extent for the benefit of our bodies, our executive and non-executive employees and other vicarious agents as well as our sub-contractors.

In the case of transport damage, SV1AFN.com is entitled to deliver the goods again within a reasonable time. The same applies in the event, that the product is vitiated by an error. Withdrawal from the contract due to a defect is only possible after a failed replacement trial.

The customer is obligated to inform SV1AFN.com immediately of any defect by e-mail.

§ 7 Obvious defects, defect rights, limited warranty

The products supplied by SV1AFN.com must never be used for life-assurance, life-sustaining, life-supporting, surgical products and / or human implants without prior written consent of SV1AFN.com.

Defective parts or defective services shall be, at the SV1AFN.com's discretion, repaired, replaced or provided again free of charge, provided that the reason for the defect had already existed at the time when the risk passed.

Claims for repair or replacement are subject to a statute of limitations of 12 months for commercial purchasers (24 months for private individuals) calculated from the start of the statutory statute of limitations; the same shall apply mutatis mutandis in the case of rescission and reduction. This shall not apply where longer periods are prescribed by law, in the case of intent, fraudulent concealment of the defect or non-compliance with guaranteed characteristics.

SV1AFN.com shall be given the opportunity to repair or to replace the defective good within a reasonable period of time.

If repair or replacement is unsuccessful, the customer is entitled to rescind the contract or reduce the remuneration; any claims for damages the customer may have according to last section of this paragraph shall be unaffected.

There shall be no claims based on defect in cases of insignificant deviations from the agreed quality, of only minor impairment of usability, of natural wear and tear, or damage arising after the passing of risk from faulty or negligent handling, excessive strain, unsuitable equipment, defective civil works, inappropriate foundation soil, or claims based on particular external influences not assumed under the contract, or from non-reproducible software errors. Claims based on defects attributable to improper modifications or repair work carried out by the customer or third parties and the consequences thereof are likewise excluded.

The customer shall have no claim with respect to expenses incurred in the course of supplementary performance, including costs of travel, transport, labor, and material, to the extent that expenses are increased because the subject-matter of the supplies has subsequently been brought to another location than the customer's branch Office, unless doing so complies with the normal use of the supplies.

The customer shall have no claim for damages based on defects. This shall not apply to the extent that a defect has been fraudulently concealed, the guaranteed characteristics are not complied with, in the case of loss of life, bodily injury or damage to health, restrictions to liberty and/or intentionally or grossly negligent breach of contract on the part of SV1AFN.com. The above provisions do not imply a change in the burden of proof to the detriment of the customer. Any other or additional claims of the customer exceeding the claims provided for in this paragraph 7, based on a defect, are excluded.

§ 8 Jurisdiction and place of fulfillment

8.1 Place of performance for all contractual obligations and for each delivery is our registered office in Greece, unless otherwise agreed.

8.2 Any disputes shall be settled, if the customer is a business person within the meaning of the Greek law, and unless otherwise agreed, exclusively before a competent court of law at the location of our company’s registered office. For the avoidance of doubt, this jurisdiction regulation shall also apply to such circumstances between ourselves and the customer which can give rise to non-contractual obligations within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 864 / 2007. We shall also have the right, however, to bring an action against the customer at its place of general jurisdiction.

8.3 The law of the Hellenic Republic, shall apply exclusively to all legal relations between the customer and ourselves, in particular to the exclusion of the UN Sales Convention (CSIG). It is expressly stated that this choice of law is also deemed to be such choice within the meaning of Art. 14 (1) (b) Regulation (EC) No 864 / 2007 and shall, therefore, also apply to non-contractual obligations within the meaning of this Regulation. If the application of foreign law is mandatory in individual cases, our General Terms and Conditions shall be interpreted as meaning that the economic intent pursued by them is preserved to the maximum possible extent.
