We confirm your order subject to the exclusive application of our general terms and conditions of sale printed on the reverse side hereof.

§ 1 Application

(1) These terms and conditions of sale shall apply exclusively. Differing or contrary terms shall not apply except if expressly agreed upon in writing.

(2) These terms and conditions of sale shall also apply to all future transactions between the parties and shall also apply if we perform delivery despite our knowledge of differing or contrary terms.

(3) These terms and conditions of sale shall only apply to registered companies and business entrepreneurs, governmental entities, or special governmental estates within the meaning of sec. 310 para. 1 BGB (German Civil Code).

§ 2 Offer, Acceptance

We are entitled to accept the offer from a Buyer to purchase goods within two (2) weeks after receipt of the Buyer’s purchase order.

§ 3 Prices

Prices quoted by us are ex works, resp. delivery warehouse including packaging but excluding any VAT [value added tax] wherever applicable. EU Buyers need to disclose the EU VAT-Number to us with the inquiry or purchase order. Otherwise, German VAT charges apply. Non-EU customers are not eligible for VAT charges.

§ 4 Payment

Unless otherwise agreed, the purchase price is due and payable net within 30 days from the date of the invoice. From the due date default interest in the amount of 6 % per annum above the respective base interest rate in Germany will be charged. We reserve all rights to claim further damages for delay of payments. Prices quoted are subject to confirmation.

§ 5 Offset, Right to Retain

The Buyer shall be entitled to offset only insofar as the Buyer’s counterclaim is acknowledged, undisputed or assessed in a legally binding judgement. The Buyer is entitled to claim retainer rights only to the extent such rights are based on the same transaction.

§ 6 Delivery, Passing of Risk, Shipment

(1) Delivery time start with the day of our order confirmation.

(2) The Buyer may not refuse acceptance of the delivery due to insignificant defects.

(3) The agreed quantities are approximate which entitle the Vendor to provide services of up to 10% below and above the quantity confirmed. The Vendor is only liable according to clause 6.7 for weight loss during transportation, or in the Buyer’s port of destination. The Vendor is only liable for weight loss during transportation, or in the Buyer’s port of destination.

(4) Events of force majeure shall release the Vendor from the obligation of the confirmed delivery time. The same applies in case our contract manufacturer or sub-suppliers encounter such events. In such cases, we have the right to withdraw from the contact.

(5) Deliveries are made ex works or warehouse. Any risk shall be passed over to Buyer with the handover to the shipping agent or freight forwarder, at the latest when goods leave the works or the warehouse.

If the Buyer instructs us to ship the goods in a certain way the risk of loss or damage to the goods passes to the Buyer upon dispatch from our warehouse.

§ 7 Retention of Title

(1) We retain title to the goods until receipt of all payments in full. In case of breach of contract by the Buyer including, without limitation, default in payment, we are entitled to take possession of the goods.

(2) The Buyer shall handle the goods with due care, maintain suitable insurance for the goods and, to the extent necessary, service and maintain the goods.

(3) As long as the purchase price has not been completely paid, the Buyer shall immediately inform us in writing if the goods become subject to rights of third persons or other encumbrances.

(4) The Buyer may resell goods subject to the above retention of title only in the course of his regular business. For this case, the Buyer hereby assigns all claims arising out of such resale, whether the goods have been processed or not, to us. Notwithstanding our right to claim direct payment the Buyer shall be entitled to receive the payment on the assigned claims. To this end, we agree to not demand payment on the assigned claims to the extent the Buyer complies with all his obligations for payment and does not become subject to an application for insolvency or similar proceedings or to any stay of payments.

(5) If the above securities exceed the secured claim by more than 10 %, we are obligated, upon our election, to release such securities upon the Buyer’s request.

§ 8 Warranty

(1) Precondition for any warranty claim of the Buyer is the Buyer’s full compliance with all requirements regarding inspection and objection established by sec. 377 HGB (German Commercial Code).

(2) Warranty claims shall be time-barred after 12 months of the passage of risk.

(3) In case of non-conformity of the goods the Buyer is entitled to alternative performance in the form of subsequent improvement or delivery of conforming goods (replacement). If such alternative performance has failed, the Buyer is entitled to reduce the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract.

§ 9 Liability

(1) In case of intent or gross negligence on our part or by our distributors or agents in performance we are liable according to the provisions of applicable law; the same applies in case of breach of fundamental contract obligations. To the extent the breach of contract is unintentionally our liability for damages shall be limited to the typically predictable damage.

(2) Our liability for culpable damage to life, body or health as well as our liability under the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.

(3) Any liability not expressly provided for above shall be disclaimed.
§ 10 Applicable law, Jurisdiction
(1) This contract shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (excluding the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods).

(2) Place of performance and exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with this contract shall be Konstanz.

The newsletters contain a pixel-sized graphic, which is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened. This call will initially collect technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval. This information is used to improve the technical performance of services based on their specifications or audience and their reading habits, based on their locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. Statistical surveys also include determining if the newsletters will be opened, when they will be opened and which links will be clicked.
