In case of slightly negligent violation of essential contractual duties, the fulfilment of which is required for the due execution of a contract and the observance of which the user relies on and may rely on, the claim for damages shall be limited to the amount of typically predictable damage. The above limitation of liability does not apply to claims for damages that result from injury to life, body or health.
