5.1. If the Customer is a consumer and the purchase contract was only concluded remotely, the Customer shall have the right to cancel the order.

This liability is limited to the typical damage foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract, unless it concerns claims for damages by the customer arising from injury to life, body or health.

13.3 The personal liability of the legal representatives, vicarious agents and employees of AUDI AG for damage caused by them through slight negligence is excluded.

13.4 Irrespective of any fault on the part of AUDI AG, any liability on the part of AUDI AG in the event of fraudulent concealment of a defect, from the assumption of a guarantee or a procurement risk and in accordance with the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.

13.5 AUDI AG does not assume any warranty or liability for the availability of the erWin online shop and the information, documents, software and/or instructions provided therein at any time.

Before commencing work, the customer must ensure that it always uses the most up-to-date documentation of the available service information.

13.8 Disruptions to the erWin online shop may arise for reasons of force majeure, including strikes, lockouts and official orders, as well as due to technical and other measures which are necessary on the systems of AUDI AG or the network operators for proper operation or improvement of the services (e.g. maintenance, repair, system-related software updates, extensions). They may also result from short-term capacity bottlenecks due to service load peaks or from disruptions in the area of third-party telecommunications equipment.

13.9 The contractual partner is solely responsible for providing and maintaining the end devices (e.g. hardware, operating systems, network connections, etc.) and other software as well as connectivity necessary for accessing the portal in order to use the software.

Section 15 Place of Fulfilment, Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

15.1 The place of fulfilment for all obligations of both contracting parties is Ingolstadt. The contractual relationship and the legal relationships in connection therewith shall be governed exclusively by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the application of other laws, treaties etc. are excluded. Further mandatory provisions under the law of the state in which a consumer has his habitual residence shall remain unaffected and may be asserted by the customer if he is a consumer. These further-reaching mandatory provisions under the law of the other country include, by way of example, any right of cancellation exceeding the provisions of Clause 5 for goods which are not excluded from the right of cancellation under the provisions of the law of the other country, further possibilities of set-off than those set out in Clause 9.3 or longer limitation periods for claims for defects than those set out in Clause 12.

The jurisdiction for all legal disputes arising from or in connection with the contract, including the question of its conclusion, shall be Ingolstadt, insofar as it concerns merchants or persons who have no general place of jurisdiction in Germany or whose place of residence or domicile is unknown and insofar as no other jurisdiction is prescribed as binding on the basis of mandatory legal provisions. AUDI shall also be entitled to take legal action at the general jurisdiction of the contractual partner.

15.2 Contradictory terms and conditions or terms and conditions deviating from these Terms and Conditions may be agreed upon. A separate written agreement is required for this purpose.

15.3 Should any of the above conditions be or become invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining conditions.

15.4 Neither Party shall be responsible for any partial or complete non-performance or late performance of any obligation under the Contract if the reasons for this are within the reasonable objective control of that Party. This may include, in particular, natural events, earthquakes, fire, floods, pandemics, epidemics, plagues, embargoes, riots, sabotage, attacks on IT systems by third parties (e.g. attacks by hackers), acts or omissions by public authorities, war, acts of sabotage or terrorist attacks.
