10.9 Any right to compensation will, in any case, lapse if the Customer has failed to take measures to (I) limit the damage immediately after it has occurred; (II) prevent (other or additional) damage from occurring; or (III) if the Client fails to notify Accountnet as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event within 5 days, of the damage and to provide it with all relevant information.
10.10 Any claim for compensation against Accountnet lapses by the mere lapse of 14 days after the claim arose if no written notification of this damage has been made within this period.
10.11 In the event that damage occurs because Accountnet discontinues its services in connection with non-payment or late payment, or if Accountnet has only started its activities after payment has been made to Accountnet’s bank account, Accountnet can never be held liable for the consequences of that strike or the later commencement of its activities or services.
10.12 Accountnet is not liable for damage or destruction of documents during transport or during shipment by post, regardless of whether the transport or shipment is carried out by or on behalf of the Customer, Accountnet or third parties.
10.13 Insofar as Accountnet cannot claim the liability exclusions or limitations described in this article, its liability for damage that is the direct result of an attributable shortcoming(s) in the execution of an assignment is at all times limited to the amount that, according to Accountnet’s liability insurer, will be paid out for the relevant case, increased by any deductible to be borne by Accountnet under the insurance. If for whatever reason, the liability insurer does not pay out, Accountnet’s liability is limited to the amount of the fee charged for the execution of the assignment. If the assignment concerns a continuing performance contract, the aforementioned amount is limited to a maximum of 50% of all amounts invoiced to the Client in the six (6) months prior to its default and paid by the Client, fewer credits by Accountnet to the Client in that period. Insofar as Accountnet cannot claim the limitation referred to in this article, Accountnet’s liability is, in any case, limited to a maximum of € 2,500 (in words, two thousand five hundred euros).
10.14 The Client indemnifies Accountnet against all claims from third parties that are directly or indirectly, indirectly or immediately related to the performance of the Work by Accountnet, in particular against claims by third parties due to damage caused by the Client providing Accountnet with incorrect or incomplete information.
10.15 Employees of Accountnet are not authorized in any way whatsoever on behalf of Accountnet to acknowledge liability of Accountnet for the damage referred to in these articles or any other damage whatsoever or to otherwise plead guilty. Only the management of Accountnet (Partner Shareholders) is authorized to officially acknowledge such damage or debt only in writing.
10.16. Except as expressly stated in the agreement, Accountnet makes no other or further guarantees, undertakings, or conditions with regard to its services or products, and Accountnet hereby disclaims all other guarantees, undertakings, or conditions, whether express, implied or under the law (including but not limited to warranties or conditions of merchantability, non-infringement, or fitness for a particular purpose).
10.17 Complaints can only be submitted to Accountnet by registered letter stating reasons and, as far as possible, with supporting documents. Complaints submitted otherwise cannot be processed.
