Terms and Conditions
Scope
Our general terms and conditions apply to all our deliveries and services, unless otherwise agreed in writing in individual cases. Any differing terms and conditions will only be accepted if confirmed by us in writing.
Offer and conclusion of contract
Our offers are subject to change and non-binding. All offer documents such as illustrations, drawings, samples, etc. remain our property. Declarations of acceptance, additions, modifications, ancillary agreements, and verbal orders require our written confirmation.
The contract is concluded subject to the correct and timely delivery by our suppliers. The customer will be informed immediately of any unavailability of the service.
Delivery conditions
Delivery dates are non-binding. If the delivery time exceeds four weeks, the customer is entitled to request a reasonable grace period.
If we fail to provide the service within this grace period, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract with regard to the part not yet fulfilled.
If the delivery time is extended or if we are released from our obligations, the customer shall not be entitled to any further claims against us, in particular no claim for damages.
We are entitled to make partial deliveries and partial services at any time.
Delays in delivery and performance due to events and reasons for which we are not responsible entitle us to extend the agreed delivery times by a reasonable start-up time or, in the event that delivery becomes impossible, to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part.
Prices and payment terms
All prices quoted by us are ex works prices in euros, plus statutory VAT, packaging and shipping, unless otherwise stated in the offer or order confirmation.
All our invoices, unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, are due and payable within 30 days of the invoice date without deduction.
If the customer defaults on payment, default interest at a rate of 8% will be charged. If we become aware of circumstances that call into question the customer's creditworthiness, we reserve the right to demand advance payment or other security.
Transfer of risk
Risk is transferred to the customer as soon as the shipment has been handed over to the person carrying out the transport or has left our warehouse for dispatch. If dispatch is delayed at the customer's request or if the customer is in default of acceptance, risk is transferred to the customer upon notification of readiness for dispatch.
Retention of title
The delivered goods remain our property until all claims from past deliveries of goods and services have been fully settled.
In the event of breach of contract by the customer – in particular default in payment – we are entitled to withdraw from the contract and demand the return of the reserved goods.
The buyer is entitled to sell and process the goods in the course of ordinary business operations as long as he is not in default.
Warranty
Unless otherwise agreed, the warranty period is governed by law. Complaints of any kind will only be accepted if the defects are reported to us in writing and within one week of receipt of the delivery item.
For proven material and manufacturing defects, we will provide a warranty, at our discretion, either through repair or replacement. Further claims for damages of any kind are excluded. This applies in particular to claims for consequential damages.
Liability for normal wear and tear is excluded.
If the buyer or third parties have made unauthorized changes to the delivered goods or if our operating and maintenance instructions have not been followed, any right to complaint shall be lost.
Warranty claims against us are available only to the direct purchaser and are not transferable.
In principle, the purchaser does not receive any guarantees in the legal sense from us.
Unless explicitly objected to, a submitted production drawing is deemed approved. All important functional dimensions must be defined and stored as test dimensions. We do not guarantee dimensions not marked as test dimensions.
Place of jurisdiction, place of performance, applicable law
Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, the place of performance is Karlsruhe.
The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is our registered office in Karlsruhe. This applies even if the customer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or if the customer's place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is filed.
German law applies exclusively. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded.
Severability clause
Should individual provisions of the contract with the customer, including these General Terms and Conditions, be or become invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
The provision that is ineffective in whole or in part shall be replaced by a provision that comes as close as possible to the economic effect of the ineffective provision.
Any waiver of the aforementioned General Terms and Conditions must be made in writing. This also applies to this written form clause.
