IVOCLAR VIVADENT AG is only liable for intent and gross negligence as well as for breach of an essential contractual obligation (material obligation). In the event of a slightly negligent breach of a material obligation, the liability of IVOCLAR VIVADENT AG shall be limited to damages foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract and typical for the contract. IVOCLAR VIVADENT AG shall not be liable for slightly negligent breaches of secondary obligations that are not material obligations. In cases of initial impossibility, IVOCLAR VIVADENT AG shall only be liable if the impediment to performance was known or if the lack of knowledge is due to gross negligence, unless this is a material contractual obligation.

The above exclusions of liability shall not apply in the event of fraudulent concealment of defects or in the event of the assumption of a guarantee of quality, for liability for claims based on the Product Liability Act and for bodily injury (life, body, health). This does not imply a change in the burden of proof to the user’s disadvantage.

Insofar as the liability of IVOCLAR VIVADENT AG is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of the employees, representatives and vicarious agents of IVOCLAR VIVADENT AG.

With the exception of claims in tort, the user's claims for damages for which liability is limited under this clause shall become statute-barred after one year, calculated from the start date of the statutory limitation period.
