Terms and Conditions (AGB)

Our General Terms and Conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen) are concluded in German, and the German version is the sole legally binding text. The summary below is an English courtesy translation of the key points.

1. Scope

These terms form part of all our offers and contracts. Any general purchasing conditions of the buyer are not accepted. Deviating agreements require our written confirmation.

2. Offer

Our offers are without obligation. Orders become binding on us only through our written or printed confirmation, or through performance.

3. Pricing

The prices valid on the day of delivery apply, plus statutory VAT. Pricing is based on the quantities determined at the place of dispatch.

4. Payment

The purchase price is payable within 10 days of the invoice date, net, or with a 2% discount for direct debit. In the event of default, we are entitled to default interest and all other claims become due.

5. Delivery

Our obligation to deliver is subject to correct and timely supply to us. We are entitled to partial deliveries. Risk passes to the buyer once the goods are handed to the carrier or made available for collection.

6. Delivery impediments

Force majeure and comparable events that prevent, delay or render uneconomical the manufacture or dispatch of the goods release us from the obligation to deliver for the duration and to the extent of the disruption.

7. Samples, technical advice

Samples and technical information serve only as a general description of the goods and contain no warranty of properties. Application advice is non-binding and does not release the buyer from inspecting each delivery for suitability.

8. Notices of defects, warranty

The buyer must inspect the goods immediately on delivery and notify defects, incorrect deliveries or quantity discrepancies in writing without delay, at the latest within seven days. In case of justified, timely notice we will, at our choice, replace the goods or refund the price against return.

9. Damages

Claims for damages are excluded where we are only responsible for slight negligence. Any liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.

10. Retention of title

Delivered goods remain our property until full payment of all our claims arising from the business relationship, including the customary extensions to processing, combination and assigned receivables.

11. Final provisions

Place of performance for payment is the seller’s registered office. Where the buyer is a merchant, the seller’s registered office is agreed as the place of jurisdiction. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies; the CISG is expressly excluded. Should any provision be invalid, the remaining provisions are unaffected.
