8.6 To the extent that this is legally possible, the user may not claim compensation for damages as a consequence of a challenge due to non-culpable errors and printing, advertising or transmission errors, which authorise Bidroom to challenge.

8.7 To the extent that this is legally possible and without prejudice to clauses 8.1. to 8.5., in any case, the liability of Bidroom is limited to the annual purchase price of Bidroom.
