(1) The claim under section 1 expires ten years from the time when the producer put into circulation the product which caused the damage. This does not apply if a legal dispute or summary proceedings are pending on the claim.
(2) Subsection (1) sentence 1 does not apply to claims that have been declared final and absolute or to claims based on other enforceable documents. The same applies to claims that are the subject of an out-of-court settlement or were recognised by means of a contractual declaration.
