Incoming goods inspection
After prior consultation with IDS, the Supplier undertakes to check the quality of its products to be delivered
to IDS for certain article groups, e.g. merchandise, before delivery to IDS in such a way that no products aredelivered that do not fully fulfil the specifications agreed for the product. In this case, both parties agree that,
due to the organisation of the outgoing goods inspection at the supplier's premises in accordance with theabove conditions, an incoming goods inspection at IDS may be omitted. IDS will raise notices of defects inthe context of an improper course of business. In this respect, the Supplier waives the defence of delayed
notification of defects for hidden defects in accordance with §377 HGB.
However, if a continuous incoming goods inspection by IDS has been agreed, IDS shall immediately notify
the Supplier of any defects in the goods occurring during the incoming goods inspection.
As part of the incoming goods inspection, IDS will carry out a random check of functionally relevant featuresof the delivery.
Deviations are recorded in a complaint report and immediately forwarded to the supplier.

Accompanying documents
In the case of deliveries to IDS, the supplier or consignor is responsible for the proper preparation of theaccompanying documents and for the transport-safe packaging of the goods to be delivered in accordancewith the statutory provisions. In principle, no deliveries will be accepted without a delivery note or invoice.
