The user has no claims for damages; this does not apply to claims for damages arising from injury to life, body, health or from the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), as well as liability for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Platform, its legal representatives or agents. Cardinal contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is necessary to achieve the objective of the contract and on whose compliance the other contracting party may regularly rely.
