In this context, essential contractual obligations are abstractly defined as those obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the user/employee may regularly rely.

13.2 Except in the case of intent or gross negligence of Mooncamp, its legal representatives, executives, employees or other vicarious agents, the liability of Mooncamp is limited in amount to the typically foreseeable damages at the conclusion of the contract.

13.3 The exclusions and limitations of liability regulated in the above clauses 13.1 and 13.2 do not apply in the case of the acceptance of explicit guarantees, in the case of claims due to the lack of warranted characteristics and for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health as well as in the case of mandatory legal regulations. Furthermore, the limitations of liability regulated in section 13.2 do not apply in case of a debtor's default of Mooncamp for claims for default interest, for the default lump sum according to § 288 para. 5 BGB (German Civil Code) as well as for compensation of the damage caused by default, which is based on the legal costs.

The user is obligated to also defend against unfounded claims of third parties with regard to the above mentioned rights. The user has to inform Mooncamp immediately of any impairments of the rights which are subject matter of the agreement.

The indemnification also includes the reimbursement of the costs which Mooncamp incurs or has incurred through a legal prosecution/defense. This does not affect further claims for damages of Mooncamp. As far as Mooncamp itself is responsible for the violation of rights, claims against the user are excluded.

15.2 The conduct of the employees is attributed to the user. The user is liable to Mooncamp for the behavior of the employees. The user is responsible to Mooncamp for the fact that his employees act according to the contract and do not violate these terms of service, laws and/or rights of third parties in connection with the use of services.

16.2 Unless otherwise regulated in the individual case, neither party is entitled to offset against claims of another party from this agreement or to assert a right of retention with regard to an obligation from the business relationship, unless the claims of the respective party asserting a right of offsetting or retention are ready for decision and undisputed or have been recognized by the other party or have been determined by a legally binding decision of a competent court or arbitration court. This restriction does not apply to synallagmatic, i.e. mutually dependent claims.

17. Exclusion of foreign general terms and conditions, Language, Contract text, Applicable law, Place of jurisdiction and place of performance

In all other respects the legal places of jurisdiction apply.

18.1 Changes to these Terms of Service must be made in text form. No collateral agreements exist.

18.2 Mooncamp reserves the right to change these Terms of Service at any time without giving reasons, unless the change is not reasonable for the user/employee.

18.3 If a provision of these Terms of Service is invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be deemed replaced by a provision that comes closest to the meaning and purpose of the invalid provision in a legally effective manner. The same applies to possible regulatory gaps.
