9.1. The Contractor shall not be liable for any temporary unavailability, technical malfunctions, or errors of the “yooy” app.
9.2. The Contractor shall not be liable for any loss of data within the app or for errors resulting from improper use of the app.
9.3. During the ordering process, the app may generate automated recommendations for the optimal fit of the eyeglass frame based on measurements of the end customer (e.g., via facial scanning). These recommendations are provided solely as guidance and do not constitute medical advice or binding recommendations. The final decision regarding the configuration, design, and fit of the eyeglass frame rests with the Client (optician) in consultation with the end customer. The Contractor shall not be liable for any deviations in fit or limitations in wearing comfort resulting from such recommendations.

9.5. The Contractor neither stores nor centrally processes this data. Any association of such measurements with a design name is made exclusively by the app user or the Client. It is the sole responsibility of the Client to choose an anonymous, GDPR-compliant design name that does not permit identification of the end customer.
9.6. The Contractor shall not be liable for any violations of applicable data protection laws resulting from improper naming, disclosure, or local storage of design files by the Client.

10.1. Any claims for damages against the Contractor are excluded unless the damage has been caused intentionally or through gross negligence. In cases of slight negligence, the Contractor shall only be liable for personal injury.

Furthermore, the Contractor’s liability for each individual claim shall be limited to the total value of the respective order.
10.3. Any claims for damages must be asserted before the competent court within six (6) months after the Client became aware of both the damage and the identity of the liable party; otherwise, such claims shall lapse.
10.4. The Contractor shall not be liable for the restoration or replacement of lost data and/or software unless such loss has been caused intentionally, through gross negligence, or by fraudulent conduct. Even in such cases, liability shall exist only where the Client has implemented appropriate backup measures in accordance with the current state of technology, enabling the lost data and/or software to be restored with reasonable effort.
11. Force Majeure
11.1. In the event of force majeure, the Contractor shall be entitled, at its discretion, to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part or to suspend delivery for the duration of the force majeure event. The Client shall not be entitled to derive any claims from such suspension or withdrawal, including, without limitation, any right to terminate the contract or claim damages against the Contractor.
11.2. Force majeure shall include, but shall not be limited to, events such as civil unrest, war, strikes, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, acts of terrorism, adverse weather conditions, traffic disruptions (including road closures, roadworks, or traffic congestion), fires, governmental measures, or any comparable events beyond the reasonable control of either party. Force majeure shall also include all consequences arising from such events, including, in particular, travel restrictions, travel bans, entry or exit restrictions, export restrictions, curfews, access prohibitions, mandatory business closures, and similar governmental measures which prevent or materially hinder the performance of the contract, the provision of the Services, or the acceptance and delivery of the work produced under the contractual relationship.
