Liability Limitation for users based in the European Union
Joyfort Entertainment Limited is liable according to the statutory provisions for damage/loss sustained by a user and caused deliberately or through the gross negligence of Joyfort Entertainment Limited or its vicarious agents. It is likewise liable for personal injury and damage within the definition of the Product Liability Law. Otherwise Joyfort Entertainment Limited's liability in relation to compensation claims – irrespective of the legal basis – is limited in accordance with the following provisions, unless otherwise provided for under a guarantee made by Joyfort Entertainment Limited:
In relation to damage/loss caused by ordinary negligence, Joyfort Entertainment Limited shall only be liable insofar as the matter relates to a breach of material contractual duties. Material contractual duties are those contractual obligations the fulfilment of which is strictly necessary in order that the agreement can be duly executed, whereby the user should normally be able to rely on these duties being fulfilled. In the event that Joyfort Entertainment Limited is hereby liable for ordinary negligence, the liability Joyfort Entertainment Limited will be limited to that damage/loss which is foreseeable and typical for this type of agreement. The liability of Joyfort Entertainment Limited in relation to data and/or programs lost due to Joyfort Entertainment Limited's ordinary negligence shall be limited to the typical recovery costs that would have been sustained by the user had he implemented regular data backup measures which are reasonable in view of all the circumstances.
The provisions set out in the foregoing sub-paragraphs also correspondingly apply to the duty to compensate futile expenditure. The aforementioned disclaimers likewise apply in favor of Joyfort Entertainment Limited's vicarious agents.
Joyfort Entertainment Limited is not liable for any costs sustained by the user availing of services not explicitly offered by Joyfort Entertainment Limited itself. This applies particularly to costs incurred due to the data transfer to and from the user's terminal device as well as for any costs sustained by the user in using payment systems.
Any form of strict liability is excluded in respect of malfunctions in the Joyfort Entertainment Limited services existing at the start of the service provision; i.e. Joyfort Entertainment Limited is only liable insofar as Joyfort Entertainment Limited or its vicarious agents is responsible for this.
