Liability (1) openqrm Enterprise GmbH shall be liable under the statutory provisions if Customer raises claims for damages based on a wilful act or gross negligence.

Final Provisions (1) All agreements adding to or changing this Agreement will be recorded in writing.

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.
