Our General Terms and Conditions can be downloaded here.

1. General
These terms and conditions also apply to future business transactions conducted between the contracting parties. These General Terms and Conditions of Business apply exclusively. The General Terms and Conditions of Business of the purchaser are only valid if the supplier has expressly approved their validity in writing.

2. Final specification of services

The aspects of this specification of services provide a comprehensive and conclusive definition of the delivery item.

3. Correct and punctual deliveries
The contract is concluded under the reservation of correct and punctual delivery by the supplier. [The contractor must immediately inform the principal of the non-availability of the delivery item and in the case of rescission the contractor must be reimbursed the equivalent amount immediately.]

4. Payment conditions and supplementary performance
Payment is due in full upon delivery or acceptance. The principal is, without additional declarations from the seller, in default 14 days after the due date for payment if he has not paid. In the case of the presence of defects, the principal is not entitled to retain possession of the goods, unless the delivery was evidently faulty or the principal is clearly entitled to the right to decline acceptance of the work; in such cases, the principal is only entitled to retain possession if the retained amount covers to a reasonable extent the defects and any foreseeable costs for subsequent performance (in particular the costs for eliminating the fault). The principal is not entitled to assert claims and rights for defects if he has not made any payments due and the amount due (including any payments made) covers to a reasonable extent the value of the delivery, with faults, or the work.

5. Reservation of proprietary rights
(1)    The delivery item remains the property of the contractor until fulfilment of all contractual obligations to the principal.
(2)    During the period of reservation of proprietary rights, the principal is prohibited from taking out a lien or assigning the item as security. Further disposal is only permitted to distributors in the ordinary course of business and subject to the conditions that payment of the equivalent value for the delivery item is made to the principal. The principal must also agree with the purchaser that the purchaser only acquires the proprietary rights upon this payment.
(3)     The principal is allowed to process the delivery item or combine it with other objects. The processing or combination (hereinafter referred to collectively as “processing” and with regard to the delivery item: “processed“) occurs when an object is designated as a “new item” following the processing of an existing item. The principal stores the new item for the contractor with the due care and prudence of an ordinary business.
In the event of processing with other objects not belonging to the contractor, the contractor is entitled to co-ownership of the new item for the amount of the share, which results from the proportion of the value of the processed or combined delivery item to the value of the other processed goods at the time of processing. If the principal acquires sole ownership of the new item, both the principal and contractor agree that the principal shall grant the contractor co-ownership of the new item for the proportion of the value of the processed delivery item to the other processed goods at the time of processing.
(4)    In the case of disposal of the delivery item or the new item, the principal hereby assigns his rights for further disposal against the purchaser to the contractor by way of security, without the need for further declarations. The assignation also includes outstanding balance claims. However, the assignation is only applicable for the amount that corresponds to the price of the delivery item invoiced by the contractor. The part of the balance assigned to the contractor is to be satisfied prior-ranking.
(5)    If the principal combines the delivery item or the new item with moveable objects, he, without the need for further declarations, also assigns his claim, which is due to him as payment for the connection, to the contractor, with all ancillary rights by way of security for the amount in proportion of the value of the delivery item or new item to the other combined goods at the time of the combination. 
(6)    Except for revocation, the principal is authorised to forfeit the assigned debts. The principal shall immediately forward the payments for the assigned debts for the amount of the secured debt to the contractor. In the event of reasonable cause, in particular delay in payment, cessation of payments, initiation of insolvency proceedings, act of protest or reasonable evidence for excess indebtedness or threatened payment incapacity, the contractor is entitled to revoke the forfeiture authorisation of the principal. In addition, the contractor can, after a prior warning of notifying the debtor of the assignment or of utilizing the assigned claims subject to observance of an adequate respite, notify the debtor of the assignment, utilize the assigned claims, and demand that the principal notify the customer of the assignment.
(7)    In the case of establishing prima facie evidence, the principal must provide the contractor with the necessary information and documents for the assertion of his rights against the customer.
(8) For charges, seizures or other dispositions or intervention by third parties, the principal must immediately inform the contractor thereof.
(9) Where the realizable value of all security rights, to which the contractor is entitled, exceeds the amount of all secured claims by more than 10%, the contractor at the request of the principal can approve a partial release of the security; the contractor has the choice between the various security rights.
(10) In the event of contractual breaches by the principal, in particular late payment, the contractor is entitled to demand without notice the withdrawal of the delivery item or new item and / or rescind the contract; the principal is obliged to surrender the item. The demand for the return of a delivery item or new item does not constitute cancellation of the contract by the contractor unless expressly stated.

6. No liability for damages from distributors
The seller is not liable for material damage of the delivery which he procured from third parties and distributed to the customer unchanged; the liability for intent and gross negligence remains unaffected.

7. Minor defects
The liability for defects does not apply to insignificant deviations from the agreed conditions or to minor impairments to usability.

8. Choice of supplementary performance
The contractor is entitled to choose between remedial and replacement options in all cases. If the subsequent performance fails, then the principal has the right to reduce or, at his own discretion, rescind the contract.
[This does not affect the rights of the principal in accordance with the statutory provisions and conditions of this contract to demand damages in place of performance.]

9. Number of improvement attempts
If the principal demands damages in place of performance or even self-remedy of defects, this isonly provided after the second attempt at repairing the item fails. The statutory provisions regarding the dispensability of setting a grace period shall remain unaffected.

10. Expenses for supplementary performance
The expenses necessary for the purposes of subsequent performance shall be borne by the principal; if higher expenses are incurred as the deliveries or services in question are to be transported to a location other than that of the subsidiary of the principal, unless this is in the course of correct and proper use.
