This audit will only take place during business hours and in such manner that
Koch’s normal business activities are not unnecessarily interfered with.

The costs of this audit will be for the account of Supplier, unless said audit

actual amount paid and the amount due is more than 3 % (three percent). In this
case the costs of the audit will be for the account of Koch.

herewith confirm that contractual performance and consideration are adequate and
in accordance with the parties` economic intentions. Any rescission of the
contract based on error, consideration being less than half of true value or on
similar grounds is herewith excluded. If one of the terms of the contract should
turn out to be wholly or partially invalid, the remaining terms shall not be
affected thereby. The invalid term shall be interpreted according to its sense
and replaced by a new regulation that achieves the commercial purpose of the
invalid term as much as possible. Austrian Law applies to this contract. The

tax ID number. These invoices have to be made out free of VAT.

We assume that all deliveries from non-EC member states are free of customs or
other excise costs. Any costs incurred by KOCH Media because of customs or
excise payments will be charged back in full unless stated differently in the
contract.

5. Packaging and labelling of goods

 
a.)  Individual products
 
The packaging of individual products has to comply exactly with the requirements
of the client. Changes without a written agreement are not permitted. Every
product has to be labelled clearly with a scannable bar code and the article
number.  The bar code may only be applied once to the packaging. If a cardboard
packaging contains a jewel case then the jewel case should either not be
labelled at all or be labelled with a different bar code.

ATTENTION: the product data, especially the bar code, contents, weight and
volume (morphological data) may not be changed in subsequent deliveries once the
initial delivery has been made.

Our clients exclusively request products in cellophane wrapping. Therefore only
cellophane wrapped goods (without third party stickers) may be shipped to our
warehouse. In exceptional cases when cardboard packaged goods are sealed with a
"flap" please contact and agree with the responsible KOCH Media product manager
if delivered goods have to cellophaned or not.

b.)  Packaging Units
 
Only industry agreed packaging units may be used:
Jewel case           25 items, dimensions 267 mm x 129 mm, height 142 mm
DVD                             maximum allowable  30 items
Hardware             maximum allowable  30 items

 
·
Every packaging unit must contain the same number of products.

 
·
A packaging unit may not exceed the dimensions of 600 x 400 x 300 mm (length x
width x height) and a maximum weight of 25 kg per cardboard box.

 
·
Subsequent deliveries always have to contain the same number of items per
packaging unit as the initial delivery.

c.) Pallets / package wrapping
 
All boxes on a EURO pallet at least have to be secured and made safe for
transport by wrapping foil. The number of packaged items has to be documented on
the delivery note and the accompanying shipping documents.

Please avoid padding wherever possible. Any wrapping and any padding should be
made of one type of materials for environmental reasons. Padding must not be
made of plastics, polystyrene or industrial waste material.

Only EURO-pallets (120 x 80 cm) may be used! The total height (incl. Pallet
base) must not exceed 150 cm. Projections of up to 5 cm will be tolerated. In
principal all pallets have to be delivered only with one type of goods and the
packaging units have to be assembled on the pallet so that the labels can be
read from the front (the side with dimensions of 80 cm). Two articles per pallet
may be delivered if it is possible to clearly keep the boxes apart in two halves
(40 x 120 each) and all the other requirements can be fulfilled.

6. New products, new versions/updates of Productss and recalls

A new version of a product is not only a change of content but also any change
to its dimensions in length, height and width for more than
+/- 1 mm and changes in weight of more than +/- 2 grams per item.

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Under no circumstances may new version of products bear an already used bar code
or article number. New versions of products may never be delivered on the basis
of an order for an old / to be discontinued version.

KOCH Media has to be informed of deletions or the introduction of a new version
at least 4 weeks before a new quarter (1.1/ 1.4 / 1.7 / 1.10) the new product is
introduced or the old is being deleted. KOCH Media will return all stocks of a
deleted product without repackaging.

7.  Goods-in differences

Please verify all and any differences in delivered items reported by the KOCH
Media goods-in department. We assume you accept these differences unless you
reply differently within two (2) working days.

You will be informed of erroneous deliveries, which are kept ready for
collection. Should you fail to collect the goods within 14 days, KOCH Media will
return all goods at your cost (you will pay delivery charges on receipt of
goods).

8. Faulty goods and returns

Goods already damaged on delivery (damage during transport etc.) will be
reported to the supplier within 48 hours of delivery and will be destroyed or
returned at your cost depending on our agreement with you. Damaged of faulty
goods returned by our clients will be accepted by KOCH Media and destroyed after
informing the supplier.

KOCH Media always checks goods returned by our clients with regards to cleanness
and quality. Then the goods will be re-stocked. This only applies to goods where
there is a good chance (stocks, product life cycle) that these goods can be
re-delivered.

Goods on consignment, which are no longer corresponding to the internal
requirements to be re-stocked, are not repackaged and will be returned to the
supplier. Depending on the agreement with the supplier KOCH Media may be in a
position to destroy these goods.

9. Transport guidelines

Should in exceptional cases the freight costs of delivered goods be borne by
KOCH Media, the goods may only be handed over to the shipping agent commissioned
by KOCH Media. Should the supplier send the goods using a different transport
agent, he will have to bear these costs in full.
