The Company is fully liable for intent and gross negligence in accordance with the Swiss statutory provisions. In the event of damages resulting from injury to life, limb, or health, the Swiss Product Liability Act or fundamental contractual obligations, the Company is liable for every negligence. Fundamental contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment characterizes the contract and on which the customer may rely. Any further liability does not exist. In particular, the Company is not liable if the Customer fails to back up the data in violation of his obligations to cooperate.

Exempt hereof is the disclosure of information and documents to consultants of the parties, who are obliged to maintain confidentiality in accordance with current laws.
