Notwithstanding recovery from third parties, the hirer shall be liable for any loss, damage, change, loss of value etc. in the broadest sense, with no possibility of invoking fault or intention by third parties, accident or force majeure against DB. On the other hand, receipt by DB shall not constitute acceptance and shall not preclude a compensation claim.
