Exhibit B
Country-Specific Terms
For Customers in Germany and Austria only, Sections 16 (“LIMITED WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS”) and 17 (“LIMITATION OF LIABILITY”) of the above Terms are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
16. Warranty
- 16. 1 Hexagon warrants that the Goods are free from defects that void or substantially reduce its value or fitness for use as provided in the Contract. There are no further warranties or guarantees. In particular, Hexagon does not promise any possibility of use or application in connection with other products, in particular software and hardware products. Such investments by Customer shall be made solely at Customer’s risk.
- 16. 2 Defects must be reported to Hexagon immediately in writing, by fax or e-mail together with a brief description of the nature of the defect. Customer must inspect the Goods for evident defects upon delivery. Evident defects shall be reported immediately and objected to as defects, otherwise the warranty shall expire with regard to such defects.
- 16. 3 Defects shall be remedied by Hexagon within a reasonable period of time after written notification, at Hexagon’s option, either by rectification of the defect or by subsequent delivery. If Hexagon’s inspection does not reveal any defects that have been objected to, or if the defects are due to faulty operation or malfunctions for which Hexagon is not responsible, the costs of the inspection or the additional costs thus incurred shall be borne by Customer.
- 16. 4 Hexagon warrants that Customer’s use of the Goods in accordance with the Contract does not infringe any rights of third parties. In the event of defects in title, Hexagon warrants that it will provide Customer with a legally flawless way to use the Goods or an equivalent good. Customer shall inform Hexagon immediately in writing if third parties assert property rights to the Goods against Customer.
- 16. 5 Withdrawal, fee reduction or the assertion of damages in lieu of performance shall only be possible if Customer has specifically objected to the defect within the scope of its possibilities and has unsuccessfully set Hexagon a reasonable deadline for subsequent performance. Subsequent performance shall only be deemed to have failed after two unsuccessful attempts. The provision of § 323 para. 2 BGB shall remain unaffected. The declaration of withdrawal or reduction as well as the assertion of damages in lieu of performance must be made in writing.
- 16. 6 If the Goods are extended or modified by Customer or by third parties, the warranty shall expire unless Customer can prove that the respective modification or extension is not the cause or contributory cause of the defect. No warranty is given for faults, malfunctions or damage caused by improper operation, use of unsuitable equipment/supplies or unusual operating conditions.
- 16. 7 The warranty period (liability for defects) shall be one year. The limitation to one year shall not apply if the law prescribes longer periods pursuant to § 438 para. 1 no. 2, § 479 para. 1 and § 634 a para. 1 no. 2 BGB as well as in cases of injury to life, body or health, in the case of an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by Hexagon and in the case of fraudulent concealment of a defect. The period shall commence at the time of passing of risk. The statutory provisions on suspension of expiry, suspension and recommencement of the periods shall remain unaffected.
17. Liability
- 17. 1 Hexagon and its vicarious agents shall only be liable for (a) intent and gross negligence, furthermore in the case of at least negligent injury to life, body or health of a person as well as in the case of liability according to the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) without limitation and in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions;
- 17. 2 for simple and slight negligence only for the breach of an obligation the performance of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the performance of which Customer regularly relies and is entitled to rely (“Material Contractual Obligation”), but only to the extent of the typical and foreseeable damage, but not exceeding the amount of the fees paid. This liability shall not include indirect damages, consequential damages, damages due to futile expenses for other products or loss of profit.
Apart from the foregoing, any liability of Hexagon shall be excluded.
- 17. 3 Hexagon shall be entitled to invoke the objection of contributory negligence. In the event of loss of data, Hexagon shall only be liable for the damage that would have occurred even if data had been properly backed up.
- 17. 4 To the extent that Customer is entitled to claims for damages due to defects, these claims shall become subject to limitation upon expiry of the warranty period applicable to claims for material defects in accordance with Clause 16.7 of this Exhibit B. In the case of claims for damages under the Product Liability Act, the statutory limitation provisions shall apply.
