7.3.2 Except in the cases described in Section 8.3.1, THE ZERO-WASTE COMPANY SRL is responsible for slight negligence only in cases of breach of an essential obligation. Essential obligations are obligations that must be performed in order to achieve the purpose of the contract in the first place, and on the performance of which the user may therefore generally rely.

8.3 The legal right of both parties to an immediate extraordinary cancellation for an important reason remains reserved.

In particular in case of breaches against Section 3.4 a notice period is superfluous.

Final provisions
