The following shall apply with regard to Sartorius’ liability under this Agreement or arising from or related to User’s use of or access to the Digital Platforms, Materials, or Services:

12.1. To the MAXIMUM extent permitted by law, Sartorius, and its Affiliates shall not be liable for ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE OR any loss of orders, any, loss of profits (irrespective of whether loss of profits constitute direct or consequential damages), loss of data, LOSS OF BUsiNESS, even if Sartorius, or its affiliates have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Sartorius and its affiliates shall not be liable for the correct choice of products or Services, for the purpose intended in the individual case or for the correct linkage of such products and Services to one another or to items of the user. 

12.2. Sartorius and its affiliates shall be liable in accordance with the STATUTORY provisions in the event of breach of Material contractual duties; i.e., said duties that entail mutuality of obligation with respect to the USER’S duties, that are of fundamental importance for protection of the USER or whose fulfillment is prerequisite to enabling this Agreement to be duly performed and, for this reason, the User rightly expects said Sartorius duties to be performed. With regard to breach of any other duties, Sartorius and its affiliates shall be liable in accordance with the legal provisions if said other duties are breached by its legal representatives or managerial employees. If these other duties are breached by simple VICARIOUS agents, Sartorius shall be liable only in the event of gross negligence and willful intent. The same shall apply to claims for damages for tort and to claims for damages on ACCOUNT of actions carried out by Sartorius’S agents employed in performing an obligation hereunder. Sartorius shall not be liable for losses not typically associated with this type of agreement and that are thus scarcely foreseeable. With regard to claims under the German PRODUCT Liability Law, said Law shall apply without restriction. 

12.3. Sartorius and its affiliates shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions in the event of culpable physical injury and hazards to life and health or loss of life.

12.4. The parties acknowledge that the limitations and exclusions of liability are reasonable in the context of this Agreement.  The foregoing limitations and exclusions of liability apply in addition to any limitations and exclusions that may be contained in any additional agreements or terms applicable to individual Services available through the Digital Platforms. 

13.1. User undertakes to treat as confidential and keep secret all Material marked as “Confidential” (or similar designations) contained in, or accessed from, the portions of the Portal or E-shop that are not accessible to the public (i.e. that require being logged in with a Sartorius ID) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Confidential Information”). The User will hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and treat such Confidential Information as it would its own confidential information. The User will not disclose the Confidential Information without the written consent of the Sartorius, except that the User may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, officers, directors and professional advisors, who are bound by agreement, or applicable professional ethics standards, to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information to substantially the same degree as called for in this Agreement.  User will be liable for any and all breaches of this section by its employees, agents and representatives.

13.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include information:

13.2.1 That was already known to the User prior to the Effective Date as evidenced by the User's prior written documentation thereof, and is not otherwise subject to obligations of confidentiality or similar restrictions;

13.2.2. That is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the User;

13.2.3. That is received from a third party which has the legal right to disclose such information; or

14.1. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall, subject to User’s continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement, continue until terminated as provided in this Agreement.

14.3. Immediately upon the termination of this Agreement, User shall, if requested by Sartorius, cause any provided Materials in connection with the Digital Platforms be returned to Sartorius or destroy the Materials and shall certify in writing to Sartorius that the same has been done.  For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to destroy or delete does not apply as long as any mandatory local laws require any retention of Materials. 

14.4. In the event that User created his or her Sartorius ID in connection with an employment relationship, he/she must delete this Sartorius ID upon termination of this employment relationship and, if necessary, create a new Sartorius ID.

14.5. Any termination of this Agreement (howsoever occasioned) shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either party nor shall it affect the coming into force or the continuance in force of any provision hereof which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination.  For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 5 (Use of Materials and Trademarks), 6 (Usage Restrictions), 9 (Reviews, Comments, and other User-Generated Content), 10 (Sartorius Warranty), 11 (Liability of User, Indemnity), 12 (Liability of Sartorius), and 13 (Confidentiality) survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

15.1. Assignment. User shall not be entitled to assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer his/her rights and obligations under this Agreement, whether in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Sartorius. Sartorius is entitled to assign this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations hereunder. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and permitted successors and assigns.  Sartorius’ Affiliates are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and therefore may enforce the terms of this Agreement. 

15.2. Waiver.  The failure of Sartorius to insist upon the strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered as a waiver of any right hereunder nor shall it deprive Sartorius of the right to insist upon the strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement at some other time.

15.3. Agreement and Severability. This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements, oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to use of the Digital Platforms. If any term hereof should be or become or are deemed void, invalid, or unenforceable, that term shall be deemed severable and the validity of the remaining terms hereof will not be affected. Any invalid term shall be substituted by a corresponding, legally valid provision.

15.4. Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the Federal Republic of Germany without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.

15.5. Notices and electronic communications.  When User uses the Digital Platforms, or sends e-mails, text messages, and other communications from User’s desktop or mobile device to Sartorius or its Affiliates, User consent to receive communications from Sartorius and its Affiliates electronically, such as e-mails, texts, mobile push notices, or notices and messages on the Digital Platforms.  Sartorius or its Affiliates will provide notices and messages to User within the Digital Platforms, or by sending communications to the contact information User provided us (e.g., email, mobile number, physical address). User agrees to keep User’s contact information up to date. User agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Sartorius provides to User electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. 

15.6. Conflicts. This Agreement applies in addition to any terms applicable to specific portions of the Digital Platforms, Services, or Material such as additional software license terms, End User License Agreements, Terms of Use, or similar documents.  However, if any term of this Agreement conflicts with any term found in such additional terms such additional terms will control as to that portion of the Digital Platforms, Services, or Material, and only to the extent of the conflict.

15.7. Irreparable Harm and Injunctive Relief.  User acknowledges that User’s violation of the usage restrictions, or use or disclosure of any Confidential Information, or the threat to make such use or disclosure, in  violation of this Agreement, will cause Sartorius extensive and irreparable harm.  User hereby consents that Sartorius shall have the right, at any court of competent jurisdiction in any location where the Digital Platforms is being used by User, to injunctive relief to prevent the violation, unauthorized use, or disclosure.
