With regard to other customers, stated or agreed delivery times are never regarded as a deadline.
8.6. CMS shall do everything reasonably possible to provide delivery on the agreed delivery date or within the agreed delivery period. Once it becomes aware of facts and/or circumstances which will make delivery on the agreed delivery date or within the agreed delivery period impossible, it shall inform the Customer as soon as possible, stating the expected new delivery date/period.

8.11. CMS shall be entitled to suspend performance of its obligations vis‑à‑vis the Customer, as long as the Customer has not fulfilled all of its payment and other obligations pursuant to any existing legal relationship with CMS. This suspension shall apply until the Customer has completely fulfilled its obligations vis‑à‑vis CMS.
9. Force majeure
9.1. " Force majeure " shall refer to any failure to perform the agreement which cannot be attributed to CMS or the Customer, because it is not the fault of CMS or the Customer, nor is CMS or the Customer accountable for this pursuant to law or generally accepted standards.

If there is a temporary situation of force majeure , including the situation in which a good/product ordered by the Customer is temporarily no longer in stock, CMS shall be entitled to extend the intended delivery period by the time during which the temporary force majeure situation will continue.

10. Retention of title and risk
10.1.

17.1. Any samples, demonstration and/or test materials, models, images or drawings made available to the Customer and/or dimensions, weights, colour schemes and/or configuration details stated for the products are only made available or given as a general indication and the products actually delivered do not have to comply with them.
17.2. Slight differences in the quantities, weights, dimensions, colour schemes and/or configuration details shall be accepted by the Customer.
17.3.

18. Liability of CMS and indemnification
18.1. Although the intention is to give the utmost care to the content of the items, products, work and/or services provided by CMS, the absence of mistakes, defects or flaws cannot be guaranteed. CMS or those designing the items, products, work and/or services shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for any mistakes, defects or flaws or for the use of the aforementioned items, products, work and/or services by the Customer. CMS shall therefore only accept legal obligations to pay compensation insofar as apparent from this Article 18.
18.2. The presence of a defect shall never entitle the Customer to suspend or set off its payment obligations regarding items or products delivered or furnished or work and/or services performed.
18.3. CMS's total liability for a breach of the obligation to render any performance shall be limited to compensation of direct damage, up to at most an amount equaling the price (not including sales tax) stipulated for that performance. If the agreement is primarily a continuing performance contract with a term of more than one year, the aforementioned amount shall be fixed at the total of the payments (not including sales tax) stipulated for one year. The total compensation for direct damage per year, however, shall not in any event exceed EUR 10,000 (ten thousand euros) or the amount paid out as compensation under an insurance policy taken out by CMS in this regard.
For purposes of this Article, "direct damage" shall solely mean:
a. the reasonable costs which the Customer has incurred to have CMS's performance conform to the agreement concluded;
b. reasonable costs incurred to determine the cause and extent of the damage, insofar as the determination pertains to "direct damage" within the meaning of this Article;
c. reasonable costs to prevent or mitigate damage, insofar as the Customer demonstrates that these costs mitigated "direct damage" within the meaning of this Article.
18.4. CMS's total liability for damage resulting from death or bodily injury or for material damage to property shall not in any event exceed the amount paid out under CMS's insurance, but not in any event more than EUR 2,500,000 (two million five hundred thousand euros) per event.
18.5. CMS shall not be liable for indirect damage, including consequential damage, lost profits, lost savings, damage as a result of stoppage of business operations or any other damage besides that referred to in Articles 18.3 and 18.4. CMS shall, however, be liable for indirect damage in the case of deliberate acts/omissions or gross negligence by CMS or third parties utilized by it.
18.6. In addition, CMS shall not be liable for damage suffered by the Customer or any third party, of whatever nature and based on any cause whatsoever, which results from incorrect and/or incompetent use by the Customer or any third party of items or products delivered or furnished or work and/or services performed by CMS.
18.7. Besides in the situations referred to in Articles 18.3 and 18.4, CMS shall not be liable at all for compensation, irrespective of the ground on which an action for compensation is based. The maximum amounts referred to in Articles 18.3 and 18.4 shall cease to apply, however, if and insofar as the damage results from deliberate acts/omissions or gross negligence by CMS or third parties utilized by it.
18.8. The Customer may only invoke the consequences of a breach of performance of an agreement concluded with CMS after the Customer has provided a proper written notice of default to CMS and CMS remains in default after the reasonable time period stated in this regard has expired. The notice of default must include as detailed a description as possible of the breach, in order to enable CMS to respond adequately.
18.9. For any right to compensation to arise, the Customer must always provide written notice of the damage to CMS as soon as possible after it occurs.
18.10.A series of related events resulting in damage shall be considered a single event for purposes of application of this Article.
18.11.The Customer shall indemnify CMS against all third-party claims regarding items or products delivered and/or furnished or work and/or services performed by CMS, unless it is established at law that these claims are a direct result of gross negligence or deliberate acts/omissions on CMS's part, and the Customer also demonstrates that it bears no blame at all in this regard.
