14. Users Subject to the Jurisdiction of Germany

Instead of Sec. 10 "Limitation of Crytek's Liability" the following shall apply:
Limitation of Crytek's Liability
a. Crytek is liable for damages, regardless on which legal basis (be it contract, tort or otherwise), only if
i. such damages are cause by violation of essential obligations of these Terms of Service (Kardinalpflichten) for Crytek's negligence or intent (Verschulden) which endangers the purpose of the Agreement; or
ii. such damages are caused by Crytek’s gross negligence or intent.
b. In case that Crytek is liable for the violation of an essential obligation of these Terms of Service (Kardinalpflicht) without acting with gross negligence or intent then the liability is limited to amount of payments received from the respective User.
c. If Crytek is liable for damages pursuant to Section (a) above for gross negligence or intent of Crytek staff other than the managing directors then the liability is also limited to the amount set forth in Section (b).
d. Crytek is not liable for indirect or consequential damages (Mangelfolgeschäden), loss of profits or frustrated costs if such damages are not a result of gross negligence or intent of Crytek's managing directors.
e. The exclusion or limitation of liability pursuant to this Sec. 23 also applies with respect to claims against Crytek’s staff or contractors.
