If MOLOTOW™ negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, i.e., an obligation whose fulfillment is essential for the proper performance of this contract and on whose compliance the CUSTOMER regularly relies and may rely, the liability is limited to the typically foreseeable damage, i.e., to such damage that typically has to be expected within the scope of the contract. Such a material contractual or cardinal obligation in the aforementioned sense is one that enables the proper execution of this contract in the first place and on whose compliance the CUSTOMER can regularly rely.
