GERMANY. For consumers residing in Germany: The following applies in Germany instead of Section 8 of the Agreement (Limitation of liability): In the event of a breach of duty – based on whatever legal grounds – Verge is responsible for willful intent or gross negligence. In the event of simple negligence, Verge is only liable (i) for damage based on injury to life, limb or health, and (ii) for damage based on a breach of a material contractual obligation (obligation whose performance makes the proper execution of the Agreement possible in the first place and on the performance of which the other party usually relies and may rely); in this case, however, liability is limited to compensation for foreseeable damage which typically occurs. The limitations of liability also apply to breaches of duty by legal representatives of Verge and of persons whom Verge uses to perform its obligation.
