Each Product only shows the prescribed Sound of Life corporate identity. Any breach of this condition will result in separate and self-contained damage amounting to the total value of the exploited product. This damage is deemed to have been agreed upon by the mere use of the Product without further conditions. This damage is a fixed amount in itself. Any loss of profits is not settled here and will be charged in full, unless the parties have agreed otherwise. This condition in a general sense serves to secure the ownership and possession of Sound of Life and to guarantee that this ownership and this possession remains clear in communications as such and is not mixed or diluted with the ownership or possession of a third party party without Sound of Life having explicitly agreed to it by means of a registered letter or an agreement intended for that purpose.
13 Liability
Sound of Life has taken out standard liability insurance where necessary. The liability of Sound of Life is in all cases limited to the amount that is paid out under this insurance in the case in question, plus any deductible on this insurance.

The customer acknowledges the applicability of this article regarding liability under all circumstances.
13.1 In the event that Sound of Life is liable, only damage directly caused by Sound of Life’s error is eligible for possible compensation. Consequential loss (including loss of income and business loss) is excluded at all times and under all circumstances.
13.2 Sound of Life is only liable for any errors made by third parties engaged by Sound of Life if Sound of Life could and should have foreseen such errors under all circumstances when engaging these third parties.
13.3 Any claims for compensation must be instituted under penalty of forfeiture within one year after the damage became known.
13.4 The liability scheme under this article does not apply if and insofar as it is in conflict with mandatory rules.
14 Force majeure
Force majeure is understood to mean any circumstance on the basis of which (further) fulfillment of the agreement by Sound of Life cannot reasonably be expected. In the event that Sound of Life is prevented by force majeure from carrying out the deliveries in whole or in part, Sound of Life has the right to suspend the implementation of the Deliveries without judicial intervention or to regard the agreement as dissolved in whole or in part, such at its option and without Sound of Life being obliged to compensate any damage suffered by the customer.
In the event that Sound of Life at the time of the commencement of force majeure has meanwhile partially fulfilled its obligations towards the customer arising from the agreement and has made partial deliveries for the benefit of the customer – and the deliveries already made have independent value – Sound of Life is entitled to invoice the relevant deliveries separately. The customer is then obliged to pay the relevant Sound of Life invoice in full and without any compensation.
15 Name and address details
Name and address data are included in the Sound of Life customer database and are used to keep customers informed about products, courses and training. Sound of Life will manage the personal data it has obtained in the manner prescribed by law.
