Disclaimer:
The Westdeutsche Handwerkskammertag has carefully checked all information provided in this area to the best of its knowledge and belief. However, no guarantee is given for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality and constant availability of the information provided.

Notwithstanding the provisions of § 675 (2) BGB, the Westdeutsche Handwerkskammertag and its employees are not liable for damages resulting from the use or non-use of the information or data provided on this website. This also applies to any damage caused by computer viruses when calling up or downloading data or when installing or using software.

This exclusion of liability does not apply to liability due to intent and if damage due to injury to life, body or health is due to a negligent breach of duty on the part of the West German Chamber of Crafts or to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent.

Furthermore, damages caused by the West German Chamber of Skilled Crafts and Small Businesses through gross negligence or by their legal representatives or vicarious agents through intent or gross negligence are not excluded.

Furthermore, the exclusion of liability does not apply to liability due to the violation of essential obligations and if the Westdeutsche Handwerkskammertag has expressly assumed a guarantee for a certain characteristic. Essential obligations are those obligations, the violation of which would endanger the achievement of the purpose of the contract or the purpose of the mutual relations, or the fulfilment of which only makes the proper execution of the contract or the mutual legal relations possible at all and on the observance of which the injured party may regularly rely, whereby in this case, in the case of simple negligence, liability is only assumed for the contract-typical, reasonably foreseeable damage.

The exclusion of liability also does not apply to damages which are covered by liability according to mandatory legal regulations. This applies in particular to the liability according to § 839 BGB (liability for breach of official duty).
