MINIGAME PTE. LTD. is liable according to the statutory provisions for damage/loss sustained by a user and caused deliberately or through the gross negligence of MINIGAME PTE. LTD. or its vicarious agents. It is likewise liable for personal injury and damage within the definition of the Product Liability Law. Otherwise MINIGAME PTE. LTD.'s liability in relation to compensation claims – irrespective of the legal basis – is limited in accordance with the following provisions, unless otherwise provided for under a guarantee made by MINIGAME PTE.

In relation to damage/loss caused by ordinary negligence, MINIGAME PTE. LTD. shall only be liable insofar as the matter relates to a breach of material contractual duties.

The provisions set out in the foregoing sub-paragraphs also correspondingly apply to the duty to compensate futile expenditure. The aforementioned disclaimers likewise apply in favor of MINIGAME PTE. LTD.'s vicarious agents.
MINIGAME PTE. LTD. is not liable for any costs sustained by the user availing of services not explicitly offered by MINIGAME PTE. LTD. itself. This applies particularly to costs incurred due to the data transfer to and from the user's terminal device as well as for any costs sustained by the user in using payment systems.
Any form of strict liability is excluded in respect of malfunctions in the MINIGAME PTE. LTD. services existing at the start of the service provision; i.e. MINIGAME PTE. LTD. is only liable insofar as MINIGAME PTE. LTD. or its vicarious agents is responsible for this.
