If a cardinal obligation is breached, i.e. obligations resulting from the nature of the contract and, if breached, endanger the purpose of the contract being attained and damages caused by delays being replaced, liability is limited to damage that is normally foreseeable. If data is lost, liability is limited to the typical recovery costs in cases of regular data backups.

The aforementioned limitation of liability also applies for breaches of duty from motogadget’s vicarious agents and suppliers.

motogadget’s liability is excluded if the mo.ride App or hardware has been manipulated or modified in any way by the user or a third party.
