(2) We shall only be liable for other damages in cases of intent and gross negligence. In the event of a simple negligent breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), liability shall be limited to the typically foreseeable damage.

(3) We are not liable for:

(4) Limitations of liability do not apply if mandatory statutory provisions (e.g. consumer protection law, capital market law, supervisory law) stipulate otherwise.

(1) We may terminate the business relationship with you at any time with reasonable notice, unless otherwise required by mandatory regulations (e.g. consumer law). Your right to terminate remains unaffected.

(3) If you do not object to the amended terms within the specified period and continue to use SCANDIC services, the amendments shall be deemed accepted. In the event of an objection, the business relationship may be terminated or your use may be restricted to the previous legal situation, insofar as this is legally and technically possible.
