Liability for slight negligence is limited to material breach of contractual obligations and in that case to the typically predictable loss. Any further liability is excluded. Contributory negligence of the licensee and other parties will be taken into account. Any liability under the terms of product liability laws remains unaffected.

You agree to ensure that a data backup is performed on all computers that the Software Product or redistributable parts of it are used on. In case of loss of data, liability is limited to the cost that would arise in the case where a proper backup has been performed.

The limitation period is one year, if not otherwise regulated by law, and starts with the service provision.

Any limitation of ej-technologies' liability also applies to your staff, agents and associated companies.
