For use opposite:
- a person who, when concluding the contract, is exercising their com-mercial or independent professional activity (entrepreneur);
- Legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
1. General
- All deliveries and services are based on these conditions as well as any separate contractual agreements. Deviating purchasing conditions of the customer do not become part of the contract, even if the order is ac-cepted. In the absence of a special agreement, a contract is concluded with the supplier‘s written order confirmation.
- The supplier reserves the right of ownership and copyrights to samples, cost estimates, drawings and similar information of a tangible and intangible nature, including in electronic form; they must not be made accessible to third parties. The supplier undertakes to make information and documents designated as confidential by the customer available to third parties only with the customer‘s written consent.
2. Price and payment
- Unless otherwise agreed, the prices apply ex works including loading in the works, but excluding packaging and unloading. Value added tax at the respective statutory rate is added to the prices.
- For orders with a purchase value of less than € 100.00, the supplier charges a minimum quantity surcharge of € 10.00.
- The invoices are payable in €: within 8 days of the invoice date with a 2% discount or within 30 days strictly net.
- The customer is only entitled to withhold payments or to offset them against counterclaims insofar as his counterclaims are undisputed or have been legally established.
- In the event of default in payment, the supplier is entitled to charge default interest at a rate of 8% above the base rate. Further deliveries are then made in advance.
3. Agreements between the contracting parties
- The delivery time results from the agreements of the contracting parties. Compliance with them by us as the supplier presupposes that all commercial and technical questions between the contracting parties have been clarified and that the customer has fulfilled all obligations incumbent on him, such as providing the necessary official certificates or permits or making a down payment. If this is not the case, the delivery time will be extended accordingly. This does not apply if we as the supplier are responsible for the delay.
- If there are open invoice amounts that are unjustifiably withheld by the customer, the supplier is not obliged to make any further delivery until these open invoice amounts have been paid by the customer or security has been provided.
- Compliance with the delivery period is subject to correct and timely delivery to us. The supplier will notify us as soon as possible of any emerging delays.
- The delivery period is met if the delivery item has left the supplier‘s works by the time it expires or if readiness for dispatch has been reported. As far as an acceptance has to take place - except in the case of a justified refusal of acceptance - the acceptance date is decisive, alternatively the notification of readiness for acceptance.
- If the non-compliance with the delivery time is due to force majeure, labor disputes or other events that are beyond the control of the supplier, the delivery time is extended appropriately. The supplier will inform the customer of the beginning and the end of such circumstances as soon as possible.
- If dispatch is delayed at the request of the customer, the supplier is entitled to otherwise dispose of the delivery item after a reasonable period and to deliver to the customer with a correspondingly appropriate, extended period. If the customer does not accept the delivery item on the day of notification of readiness for dispatch or acceptance, the supplier can calculate the costs incurred as a result of the delay.
- The customer can withdraw from the contract without setting a deadline if the entire service is finally impossible for the supplier before the transfer of risk. In addition, the customer can withdraw from the contract if it is impossible to carry out part of the delivery of an order and if he has a legitimate interest in rejecting the partial delivery. If this is not the case, the customer must pay the contract price applicable to the partial delivery. The same applies if the supplier is unable to do so. Otherwise, Section IX.2 applies. If the impossibility or inability occurs during the delay in acceptance or if the customer is solely or predominantly responsible for these circumstances, he remains obliged to provide consideration.
- If the supplier is in default and the customer suffers damage as a result, he is entitled to demand lump-sum compensation for the delay. It amounts to 0.5% for each full week of the delay, but in total a maximum of 5% of the value of that part of the total delivery that cannot be used on time or in accordance with the contract as a result of the delay. If the customer sets the supplier a reasonable deadline for performance after the due date - taking into account the statutory exceptional cases - and the deadline is not met, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract within the framework of the statutory provisions. At the request of the supplier, he undertakes to declare within a reasonable period whether he is making use of his right of withdrawal. Further claims from delay in delivery are exclusively determined in accordance with Section IX. 2. of these terms and conditions.
4. Transfer of risk, acceptance
- The risk passes to the purchaser when the delivery item has left the factory, even if partial deliveries are made or the supplier also provides other services, e.g. B. has taken over the shipping costs or delivery and installation. If an acceptance has to take place, this is decisive for the transfer of risk; it must be carried out immediately on the acceptance date, alternatively after the supplier has reported that the goods are ready for acceptance. The customer may not refuse acceptance in the event of a minor defect.
- If the dispatch or acceptance is delayed or does not take place due to circumstances that are not attributable to the supplier, the risk shall pass to the purchaser on the day of notification of readiness for dispatch or acceptance. The supplier undertakes to take out the insurance requested by the purchaser at the purchaser‘s expense.
- Partial deliveries are permitted, provided that this is reasonable for the customer.
5. Packaging
- Insofar as the distributor is obliged to take back the transport packaging according to the packaging ordinance of August 21, 1998, the customer bears the costs for the return transport and the recycling of the packaging used.
6. Retention of title
- The supplier retains ownership of the delivery item until all payments have been received - including any additional ancillary services owed under the delivery contract.
- The customer may neither sell, pledge nor assign the delivery item as security. In the event of seizure, confiscation or other dispositions by third parties, he must notify the supplier immediately.

- Due to the retention of title, the supplier can only demand the return of the delivery item if he has withdrawn from the contract.
