Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
German term or phrase: Leben, Körper, Gesundheit
I have these a few times in these AGB, e.g. "Dies gilt nicht, soweit nach dem Produkthaftungsgesetz zwingend gehaftet wird, in Fällen des Vorsatzes, der groben Fahrlässigkeit, wegen der Verlettzung des Lebens, des Körpers oder der Gesundheit, wegen der Verletzung wesentlicher Vertragspflichten und wegen des arglistigen Verschweigens von Mängeln gehaftet wird."

BE solution preferred, but AE also appreciated, as I don´t like my working solution at all.
