§4 Delivery Times

The delivery period begins on the date of the order intake, however not before the exhaustive clarification of all details, of which knowledge is necessary for the execution. Insofar as a delivery period is due to justifiable reasons, exceeded by us by more than 18 days and insofar as the grace period set by the Buyer in writing, pursuant to the date of default, expired without success, the Buyer is entitled to withdraw from the contract. In the case of delayed delivery due to force majeure or other despite reasonable care unavoidable obstacles, including transport delays, strikes as well as labour disputes with our suppliers, we shall not be deemed to roll into default of delivery, for the duration of such events. Damages due to delay or impossibility of subsequent delivery are excluded, except for cases of wilful misconduct and gross negligence.

§5 Payments 

Invoices are payable within 30 days net, unless a different arrangement has been explicitly agreed upon in writing. A payment is considered complete when it has been credited to our account. Priority shall be given to the use of incoming payments to offset the oldest debt. Bills of exchanges and cheques shall only be accepted by us subject to final settlement, with no assumption on our part for the costs and charges arising therefrom. Insofar as the payment terms are not complied with without a justifiable reason, all our claims, including those for which instalment or deferred payment has been agreed upon, shall be deemed as due immediately. The Buyer only reserves the right of offset against counterclaims that are undisputed or have been legally established. 

§6 Reservation of Title 

All delivered goods remain our property until full payment of all our claims against the Buyer. The Buyer may sell or further process the goods in the ordinary course of business operations. Other dispositions such as the pledge or the chattel mortgage of our goods are excluded. The claims of the Buyer from the resale of our goods, are herewith as of now, already assigned to us. The Buyer herewith authorises us, in the event of payment default, to directly assert the assigned claims of the Buyer against his customers, on his/her own behalf. We herewith undertake upon the request of the Buyer, to release the assigned receivables, to the extent that their total amount exceeds our claims by more than 20%.

§7 Warranty / Liability

In case of defects, we are free to choose between the different forms of remedy. In the case of a three-time failure of subsequent performance, the Buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract, or demand for a reduction. Any liability on our part is excluded. This does not apply with regard to the exclusion or limitation of liability for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health that are due to a negligent breach of duty of the Seller or an intentional or negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or by vicarious agents of the Seller, likewise in the case of an exclusion or limitation of liability for other damages that are due to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or by vicarious agents of the Seller. This limitation of liability however does not cover the direct damage caused by the absence of warranted properties and such damages due to defects, against which the Buyer should have been secured on account of the warranted properties. In the case of other consequential damages due to defects, we shall only be liable in the preceding limited manner.
