MAGIX provides no assurances of particular features and usability related to planned customer-specific applications. b) If the programs are offered to the customer free of charge, the guarantee aga inst deficiency in material and defects in title is limited to fraudulent concea lment of defects by MAGIX in consideration of free licensing of the product. Otherwise, liability of MAGIX is limited to instances of premeditation and gross negligence in consideration of the free licensing. c) In the case of services provided in return for payment, MAGIX is liable for f inancial losses incurred from contractual and non-contractual claims including t he incurrence of debt during contractual proceedings (on any legal grounds) sole ly to the following extent: - Contractual and non-contractual obligation to compensate for damages on the pa rt of MAGIX and its agents is given only in cases of violation of cardinal dutie s, where the customer is particularly entitled to expect fulfillment. Exclusion of liability does not apply to cases of bodily harm, intent and gross negligence . - MAGIX's liability does not extend to contract-untypical and other unpredictabl e damages. Liability for impairment/loss of saved data, lost profits and direct and indirect consequential damage is expressly excluded, unless it can be proven that MAGIX acted with intent or gross negligence. The user understands, that to avoid of damage and loss of your personal data it is strongly recommended to cr eate regular back-ups. MAGIX is therefore liable only for damages incurred by da ta loss only in the presence of corresponding back-ups. - In any event, MAGIX's liability is limited to four times the amount paid for t he licence fee by the customer. This exclusion does not apply to damage caused t hrough intent or gross negligence on the part of MAGIX. The Product Liability Law (ProdHaftG) applies as usual. Deficiencies must be reported immediately on recognition and at the latest withi n 30 days. If within this period the customer establishes deviations between the

program and the program description, he/she is entitled to send the deficient s oftware back to the supplier and to demand appropriate corrective action. The de ficiency must be redressed within a reasonable period, which may also be effecte d at the discretion of MAGIX through an appropriate replacement of the product o r program version with a comparable performance scope. If such redress (incl. re placement) is not possible within a reasonable period or if the redress action f ails, the customer is then entitled to contract cancellation, conditional upon d estruction of all copies made, or a reduction in price as appropriate. e) In relation to functions that operate via an Online Server, MAGIX guarantees average server availability of 98% a year. This does not include times in which the server is not available over the Internet due to technical or other problems not under the sphere of influence of MAGIX (force majeure, third party defaults , etc.). MAGIX explicitly does not vouch that the conditions outside the softwar e are available at all times and are indelible. MAGIX will however, attempt to e nsure that the connection service is provided for the duration for the reasonabl y expected software usage (life cycle), or at least four years following the cus tomer's purchase of the license. MAGIX can temporarily limit or block access to the services, as long as this is to provide public safety, network safety, maintenance of network integrity and i mproved interoperability of the service, data protection, to counter spam or com puter viruses or to render operationally or technically necessary services. Afor ementioned limitations are exempt when calculating the stated service availabili ty. 9.
