4.2    Sysmex accepts no liability for the contents of other suppliers, which can be accessed via hyper links on My Sysmex. Many links on My Sysmex refer to contents, which are not stored on Sysmex servers. The contents of external third parties have been checked by Sysmex for illegality and criminal liability when the link was set up. Nevertheless it cannot be excluded that contents may be retrospectively modified by suppliers. Sysmex is not obliged to make constant checks on these and therefore repudiates all liability whatsoever

5.1    German law is the sole applicable law governing the contractual relationship between Sysmex and the customer.

5.2    For all disputes arising from or in connection with this contract the parties agree that the Courts competent for Norderstedt have exclusive jurisdiction.

5.3    In the event that individual provisions of these General Conditions of Use are or become ineffective or invalid, the remaining provisions of these General Conditions of use shall remain unaffected thereby. In place of the ineffective or invalid provision to be replaced the parties shall agree a provision, which comes closest in law to the commercial purpose of the General Conditions of Use. In the event of any omission a provision is to be agreed, such that the parties would have agreed, if they had been aware of the omission at the time of concluding the contract.
