No provision of this product guarantee affects the consumer protection laws granted by the applicable mandatory statutory regulations, including consumer protection laws, to press claims for damages against LEICA in the event of its complete or partial non-performance or the failure to properly perform its contractual obligations. Insofar as is permitted under applicable law, LEICA and its employee and agents will not under any circumstances accept liability to you or to your legal successors for indirect or consequential damage, including but not limited to the costs for the recreation, reprogramming or reproduction of programs or data or for any costs incurred as a result of the loss of confidentiality of data, the loss of business opportunities, loss of profit, lost sales or lost savings caused by the obligations of LEICA under this product guarantee.

No provision of this product guarantee affects the consumer protection laws granted by the applicable mandatory statutory regulations, including consumer protection laws, to press claims for damages against LEICA in the event of its complete or partial non-performance or the failure to properly perform its contractual obligations. Insofar as is permitted under applicable law, LEICA and its employee and agents will not under any circumstances accept liability to you or to your legal successors for indirect or consequential damage, including but not limited to the costs for the recreation, reprogramming or reproduction of programs or data or for any costs incurred as a result of the loss of confidentiality of data, the loss of business opportunities, loss of profit, lost sales or lost savings caused by the obligations of LEICA under this product guarantee.
