German term
geartete Schäden
German to English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
limitation of liability
I have this term in the limitation of liability section of a contract (Sollte XYZ sonstige, wie auch immer geartete Schäden erleiden, übernimmt der Veranstalter keinerlei Haftung). I found these phrase in other on-line contracts, e.g. http://www.m-h-l.net/html/agb.html, but can't find a translation. Does it mean damages of the same nature?
I'd be grateful for any insights.

: Loss or damage. Damages in the plural has an entirely different meaning: it is the compensation paid to the successful plaintiff for injury to or interference with their rights./ I still think the distinction is worth preserving.

"damages" may have the meaning you mention, but it doesn't need to; e.g. http://tinyurl.com/3tpkb8 //Fair enough, but how about commenting on my choice for the term the asker is actually looking for? That's the one I see most often anyway.

: I concur with Kim. The use of "damages" to refer to damage or loss is probably just perpetuated sloppy drafting. / Yes, indeed - sloppiness does not stop in front of the entrance of a law firm :-) (first-hand evidence available upon request :))

"perpetuated sloppy drafting" by lawyers? Okay, I'll let them know...//O no, not all of them, I could provide my fair share of evidence of that myself. :-) Still, there are too many instances out there for them to be all due to sloppiness.
