Essential contractual obligations are those obligations which make the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on which the contracting parties may regularly rely. The aforementioned limitations of liability shall not apply in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence or in cases of mandatory statutory liability, in particular in the event of the assumption of a guarantee or in the event of injury to life, limb or health.
