of the agreed excess increases to € 5,000.

intentionally by the Customer or Second Driver. If the damage was caused by
gross negligence, the Lessor may reduce the liability reduction in proportion to
the severity of the fault. Furthermore, there is no entitlement to a reduction in
liability if an obligation to be fulfilled by the Customer or Second Driver has
been intentionally breached. In the event of a grossly negligent breach of
obligation, the Lessor may reduce the reduction of liability in proportion to the
severity of the fault. Insofar as the breach of the obligation is neither the
cause for the occurrence of the liability case nor for the determination or the
scope of the liability reduction, the Lessor remains obliged to reduce the
liability; this does not apply, however, if the obligation was breached
fraudulently. The contractual reduction of liability shall only apply for the
