conditions of you or a third party or refer to such, this is no approval of the applicability of your general

by us, issued within five business days by fax, e-mail, in writing or by sending of the ordered products.

these GTC.

(4) Our specifications regarding the object of delivery or the service (e.g. weight, measure, margin and

technical data) as well as our designs of these (e.g. illustrations) are only roughly relevant, if the

usability for the contractually intended purpose does not require an exact consistency. They are no

characteristics of state, but descriptions or specifications of the deliveries or services. Divergences

customary in trade or divergences due to legal provisions or which are technical improvements are

permitted as far as the usability for the contractually intended purpose is not affected.

subject to a charge.

models and other documents and media provided to you are subject to our property and/or copy right.

You are not entitled to make these items accessible to any third party without our express consent,

copied. On our demand you are obliged to return these items entirely to us and to destroy any copies

made, if any, if they are not required any more in due course of business or if negotiations do not lead

are in Euro ex works plus packaging, value added tax, at export shipment customs as well as fees and

months after conclusion of the contract, we shall be entitled to adjust the agreed upon price to any

changed conditions (e.g. our procurement costs; exchange rates).

commercial maturity interest (sec. 353 German Commercial Code) remains unaffected.

(5) We are entitled to carry out outstanding deliveries or services only against advance payment or

security deposit, if we get to know circumstances after conclusion of the contract, which are suited to

regarding the respective contract is endangered.

else is stipulated hereinafter. The special legal stipulations regarding the final delivery to a consumer

remain unaffected in each case.

hand.

are subject to your compliance with the statutory inspection and notification obligations according to

sec. 377 German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch - HGB). If during the examination of the

product or at a later stage a defect appears, you are obliged to inform us immediately in writing,

whereas, to meet the deadline, timely mailing shall suffice. Irrespective of this inspection and

notification obligation, you are obliged to inform us about apparent defects (including wrong and short

delivery) immediately in writing, whereas, to meet the deadline, timely mailing shall suffice, too. If you

fail to comply with the due inspection and/or notification of defects, our liability for the defect not

notified is excluded.

by removal of defects (subsequent improvement) or by delivery of a product free from defects

(replacement delivery).

due purchase price. You are entitled, however, to retain a part of the purchase price, which his

adequate in proportion to the defect.

(6) You are obliged to give us the time and the opportunity to perform the owed supplementary

performance, in particular to hand over the product found faulty for examination purposes. In case of

a replacement delivery you are obliged to hand over to us the defect product according to the legal

regulations.

(7) The expenditures required to examine and to perform supplementary, in particular transport,

labour and material costs, are borne by us, if it is de facto defect. If your request for supplementary

therefrom

to the applicable legal regulations for any violation of contractual and non-contractual obligations.

(2) We are liable for damages in case of intention or gross negligence. In case of simple negligence, we

are only liable

the due performance of the contract and you generally rely on that it is complied with); in such case

our liability is restricted to the foreseeable, typically incurring damage.

upon, the limitation period begins with the approval.

(2) Statutory special provisions for claims of return of third parties, in case of fraudulent intent of the

seller and for claims in recourse due to final delivery to a consumer remain unaffected.

(3) The aforementioned limitation periods of the sales law also apply for your contractual and noncontractual claims, which are based on a defect of the product, unless the application of the regular

statutory limitation period leads to a shorter limitation period. The limitation periods of the German

Product Liability Act remain unaffected at any rate.

(4) Besides, the statutory limitation periods are exclusively applicable for claims for the purchaser’s

damages according to sec. 7.

9 Retention of Title

(1) We reserve title to the object of sale until receipt of all payments from the delivery contract

("reserved goods"). In the event of breach of contract on your part, in particular default in payment,

we shall be entitled to tak back the reserved goods. The taking back of the reserved goods by us shall

constitute a withdrawal from the contract. After taking back the reserved goods, we shall be entitled

to sell them; the proceeds of such sale shall be set off against your liabilities to us - less reasonable

selling costs.

(2) In the event of attachments or other interventions by third parties, you must notify us immediately

in writing.

to us all claims in the amount of the final invoice amount (including VAT) of our claim which accrue to

you from the resale against your customers or third parties, irrespective of whether the reserved goods

have been resold without or after processing. You remain authorised to collect this claim even after

the assignment. Our authority to collect the claim ourselves remains unaffected. However, we

undertake not to collect the claim as long as you meet your payment obligations from the proceeds

received, are not in default of payment and, in particular, have not filed for insolvency or suspended

payments. If this is the case, however, we may demand that you inform us of the assigned claims and

their debtors, provide all information necessary for collection, hand over the relevant documents and

notify the debtors (third parties) of the assignment.

behalf. If the reserved goods are processed with other items which do not belong to us, we shall

acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the value of the reserved goods (final invoice

amount incl. VAT) to the other processed items at the time of processing. In all other respects, the

same shall apply to the new item resulting from the processing as to the reserved goods.

(5) If the reserved goods are inseparably combined or mixed with other items not belonging to us, we

shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the value of the reserved goods (final invoice

amount incl. VAT) to the other combined or mixed items at the time of the combination or mixing. If

the reserved goods are combined or mixed in such a way that the item is to be regarded by you as the

main item, you and we are already now in agreement that you transfer to us pro rata co-ownership of

this item. We hereby accept this transfer. You shall keep the sole ownership or co-ownership of an

item thus created in safe custody for us.

(6) In the event of seizure of the reserved goods by third parties or other interventions by third parties,

you must point out our ownership and inform us immediately in writing so that we can assert our

ownership rights. If the third party is unable to reimburse the judicial or extrajudicial costs incurred by

us in this connection, you shall be liable for these costs.
