If possible, you will be informed in advance about planned maintenance work that restricts availability.
4.2 Combyne reserves the right to expand or modify the App, in particular if this serves technical progress, appears necessary for legal reasons or to prevent misuse.

In this case, the claim for damages is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
8.2 The above limitations do not apply if Combyne fraudulently conceals a defect or in the case of a warranty promise. The same applies to any claims of a user under the Product Liability Act.
