• German Customers. Review Wave's liability to you if you are domiciled in Germany is limited as follows:
  
  • Review Wave shall be fully liable for intentional and gross negligence, as well as for any damages arising from injury to life, body or health caused by Review Wave.

A Cardinal Duty in the meaning of this Section 2.4 is an obligation, the fulfillment of which is essential to the performance of these Terms and on the fulfillment of which the contracting party may therefore rely.
