errors, and that it is not possible to develop data
processing programs in such a way that they are

all third-party programs and hardware. JAM provides no
assurances of particular features and usability related
to planned customer-specific applications.
-
In case of paid products and services, JAM is only
liable to slight negligible damages incurred by it or
its assistant(s) if a duty is violated, even if it is
extra-contractual, the adherence to which is of special
importance in order to be in compliance with contractual
use (Cardinal duty), as well in cases of damage to life,
body and health.
-
For non-observance of a cardinal obligation, the
liability is limited to the damage which must be
typically expected within the scope of this agreement if
there is no intention or gross negligence or if JAM must
incur liability because of fatal injury, physical injury
or health hazards.
-
JAM is not liable for damages controllable by the user
or damages that could have been prevented by the user
had reasonable measures been undertaken to do so. JAM is
liable for data loss only to the extent of costs
incurred during restoration if backups are available.

In any event, JAM's liability is limited to four
times the amount paid for the license fee by the
customer. This exclusion does not apply to damage caused
through intent or gross negligence on the part of
JAM.
-
In case of paid products and services, the guarantee
against deficiency in material and defects in title is
limited to fraudulent concealment of defects by JAM in
consideration of free licensing of the product.
Otherwise, liability of JAM is limited to instances of
premeditation and gross negligence in consideration of
the free licensing.
-
Statutory liability in case of personal damages and
damages pursuant to the Product Liability Act remains
unaffected.
- JAM reserves the right to change parts or the entire offer, replace it partially or in full, or transform free offers to fee-based offers and vice versa. Availability will not be guaranteed.
