FTS does not pay any costs accrued in recovering lost data and information.
Any claims of the User against FTS that go beyond those explicitly defined in these Conditions are excluded, irrespective of the legal basis on which they arise, in particular due to operational interruption, lost profit, lost information and data etc. or consequential harm caused by a defect.
Apart from that FTS shall only be responsible for that degree of care which FTS itself applies to its own affairs of a corresponding nature.
The aforementioned restriction of FTS liability does not apply if it contravenes binding legal requirements.
