c. If a check shows that minor changes from the ordered demands exist then the customer has to report them in writing.

d. With major changes from the ordered demands IMSTec has to correct the defects within an acceptable time and then again present the customer the working result for acceptance.

e. The customer is obligated to inform IMSTec immediately, if he notices during the check differences from the contractual order in writing.

2. With deliveries the risk is transferred to the customer at the time of dispatch of the contractual good, also if IMSTec has assumed the delivery and set up the delivered object himself. Delivered goods have to be accepted by the customer not considering guarantee rights even if defects exist, which do not completely exclude the ability to function.

§ 10 Rights of Third Parties

1. IMSTec will defend the customer at own costs against all claims of third parties, which result from an infringement of the copy or trademark right, for materials applied according to contract and will reimburse the customer in cost or sums of indemnity which were imposed by court or are part of a settlement which has been permitted by IMSTec afore hand, if the customer

(1) immediately informs IMSTec about the existence of such claims

and

(2) IMSTec is reserved all defensive measures and settlement negotiations.

The customer will hereby assist IMSTec.

2. Should these claims be made or expected to be made, then IMSTec can for its own costs purchase a usage right or change the materials or replace them with equivalent materials. If this is not possible with an acceptable expenditure, then the customer states to agree, that upon a written demand by IMSTec the materials will be returned to IMSTec. In this case IMSTec reimburses the customer with the amount which the customer paid for the set up of the materials as well as own damages of the customer according to the ruling of § 13 (liability). This obligation of IMSTec towards the customer concerning claims caused by infringements of third parties are final.

3. Claims towards IMSTec are excluded, if they are based on

a. by customers made available components and these are built in materials or if IMSTec has to comply with drafts, specifications or orders of the customer or in his orders acting third parties;

b. materials which can be changed by the customer;

c. materials along with other products, data, devices or business methods combined, put in operation or are used, which have not been delivered by IMSTec or materials to third parties, which do not belong to his enterprise, but were distributed resp. operated in their favor or used.

§ 12 Guarantee

In so far as IMSTec has to guarantee according to legal regulations, the following is valid:

1. As long as IMSTec fulfils the obligations to correct defects by subsequent improvements or exchange with defect less material, the customer does not have the right, to lower the payment or demand to cancel the contract, unless a failure of the improvement occurs. A warranty by IMSTec is omitted, if the customer without the approval of IMSTec changes the service good.

2. The customer has to immediately check the delivered goods for flaws and in quality and has to report noticeable defects and complaints.

3. Defects have to be described in writing exactly in the disfunction and the type of disturbance. Testing procedures made available by IMSTec to the customer have to be performed and the results have to be reported.

4. The customer will cover the costs for an examination by IMSTec, if the complaint about defects was without reason. In so far the valid prices of IMSTec are applicable.

5. Based on the various connection, it is according to today’s point of technique not possible, to completely exclude defects in data processing programs. Therefore a guarantee is not given, if defects do not have an influence on the orderly use of the program or if they are minor. Guaranteed is only the usability of the program according to the program description in the displayed way of work, if the hardware required for the use of the programs is available.

6. If IMSTec only delivers services, then no guarantee is granted on such.

§ 13 Liability

1. If nothing else results, all other and further claims of the customer against IMSTec are excluded.

2. The above restriction of liability is not effective under intent, gross negligence of the legal representative or senior executives as well as with intentional infringements of major contractual obligations. In case of intentional infringements of major contractual obligations IMSTec is liable - except for cases under intent or gross negligence of its legal representative or senior executive - only for contract typical damages, which are reasonable and foreseeable.

3. The restriction of liability is not valid in cases, in which under the product liability act for mistakes in delivered goods IMSTec is liable for damages of persons or matters of privately used objects. The restriction is also not valid in a intentional infringement of live, body or health and for the missing of a guaranteed ability.

4. If the liability of IMSTec is restricted or excluded, this is also applicable for the personal liability of its employees, workers, co-workers, legal representatives and a vicarious agent.

5. The legal regulations to burden of proof are unaffected by this.

6. Warranty claims for defects or damage caused by defects are especially excluded, in so far that the company liability insurance sum of 5.000.000 Euro is exceeded. This is especially valid if the defect and its consequences causes a loss of use and lost profit because of stoppage of the plant or other. This exclusion of liability is not valid for the case that the defect was concealed fraudulently or a guarantee for the quality of work was overtaken as well as for gross negligent or intentional acting of the enterprise or its vicarious agents.

Right of retention and set-off is only allowed, if these scopes of validity are not argued or have legally been agreed on claims.
