(3) Liability for loss of data is limited to the typical recovery expense that would have been incurred in case of a regular and risk-adequate storage of data on backup copies by the customer.

(4) Liability for culpable loss of life, bodily injury or impaired health and liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

(5) Insofar as the liability of openQRM Enterprise GmbH is limited, this also applies to the personal liability of openQRM Enterprise GmbH's employees, staff members, representatives and servants.

(6) Unless stipulated otherwise above, any liability of openQRM Enterprise GmbH is excluded.
11. Confidentiality

(4) openQRM Enterprise GmbH shall have the right, to make use of subcontractors as long as such use is not contrary to the legitimate interests of the Customer.

(6) The contractual relationship of the Parties is governed by German law. Exclusive venue is Bonn, Germany. However, openQRM Enterprise GmbH is entitled to sue the Customer at Customer's place of business. The latter does not apply if a deviant, compulsive statutory exclusive venue exists.

(7) Should provisions of this Agreement be or become invalid or should a loophole emerge in them, the validity of the other provisions will not be affected thereby. The invalid provisions or loophole in this Agreement will be replaced by an appropriate arrangement that comes as close as possible to what the Parties appear to have intended according to the spirit and purpose of the contract.
