Varier shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions

The limitation of liability pursuant to sentence 2 of this clause 10.2 shall not apply in cases of injury to life, limb, or health, within the scope of any expressly provided guarantee as well as in cases in which the prerequisites for liability on Varier`s part pursuant to statutory product liability provisions exist.

Neither the Buyer nor Varier have any influence on unforeseen events. None of the parties, therefore, is liable for the non-performance of the agreement due to circumstances which it was impossible to foresee, and such event prevents or materially obstructs or delays the performance (force majeure), including force majeure events by a sub-contractor. This applies, however, only to the extent and as long as said circumstances prevents either party from meeting its obligations under this agreement.
