General Terms and Conditions
1. Offers
Prices quoted in offers are deemed agreed only when confirmed at order. All prices are given exclusive of value added tax. Where delivery is free of charge, the relevant minimum quantities apply. Within Germany, we offer free delivery for orders above 200.00 euros. Orders shall be considered as having been accepted only when confirmed in writing or when invoiced. Special arrangements shall apply only if duly confirmed in writing. Prices applicable on the date of delivery shall be charged. For export shipments the ex-works price shall be valid, unless expressly specified and agreed other wise in writing.
2. Delivery Policy
We reserve the right to partial delivery. No warranty shall be assumed for any specified delivery date. In the event of delayed delivery, the customer shall not be entitled to claim damages. Disruptions of operation and traffic, action by the authorities and cases of force majeure, as well as any other circumstances which directly or indirectly make manufacturing or delivery impossible for us or our suppliers, shall discharge us from the obligation to deliver for the duration of the disruptions so caused, or entitle us to cancel the agreement, in whole or in part, the buyer not being entitled to claim any damages.
3. Dispatch and Forwarding
The goods shall on principle be transported at the buyer’s expense and at the buyer’s risk. Only such quantities, weights or number of items as determined by us before forwarding the goods shall form the basis of our invoice. The buyer shall undertake to handle any possible damage to the goods in transit directly with the carrier.
4. Term of Payment
The term of payment is 30 (thirty) days net from the date of invoice. The date of receipt of payment shall be decisive. Cheques shall be valid only when credited. Should the term of payment be exceeded, we shall be entitled to charge interest on overdue payments at normal bank rates. In the event of payment default all unpaid invoices shall become due immediately. Should there be any doubts regarding the buyer’s solvency, we shall be entitled to request prepayment or securities. Should the buyer be in arrears with any obligation whatsoever, without prejudice to other claims, we shall be entitled to put delivery on hold. For deliveries to as yet unknown customers, we on principle reserve the right to deliver subject to prepayment or cash on delivery.
5. Liability
Any information on the possible ways of processing and applying the products, including on hazards associated with them, if any, are provided on account of the current state of our knowledge yet without guarantee and denying any liability. Upon forwarding the goods from our premises, all liabilities resulting from said products, regardless of their degree of hazard, shall be transferred to the buyer.
6. Notice of Defects, Complaints
Complaints of whatever nature regarding faults or defects shall be taken into account only if such complaint is submitted to us in writing within 10 (ten) days of the receipt of the goods by the buyer, so as to enable us to assess the justification of the complaint. Factually substantiated and correctly notified defects shall be remedied, at our discretion, by a discount on the purchase price, replacement, or return of the faulty good against reimbursement of the purchase price. Goods may be returned only with our prior, written agreement. Claims beyond said provisions shall be excluded.
7. Retention of Title
Delivery of goods shall on principle be made with retention of title to such goods. Ownership of the goods shall be transferred to the buyer only when the buyer has paid all liabilities resulting from our delivery, irrespective of whether or not the purchase price for the delivery of certain goods specifically denominated was paid by the buyer. In the case of current accounts, any reserved property shall be regarded as security for our claim for the entire balance due to us. The buyer shall immediately inform us by registered mail of any pledge or transfer of securities to third parties. Said pro visions do not prevent the buyer from selling the delivered goods in the ordinary course of business. However, such right to sell shall fall into abeyance if the buyer is in default of payment or if the buyer experiences a substantial deterioration of economic status. Should the buyer’s business be sold or leased to third parties, the buyer shall immediately give us notice of such change.
8. Place of Jurisdiction
Rosenheim shall be the place of performance and jurisdiction for court proceedings in relation to orders to pay debt, as well as for business transactions with fully registered businesses.
9. Deliveries Abroad
All the above conditions shall on principle apply for export deliveries. In particular, German law shall be deemed having been elected. The buyer hereby undertakes, at the outset, to pay all costs and resultant interest thereon in each and every delay. Any deviation from these conditions shall require confirmation in writing.
