Document:
The terms and conditions set out below form part of the contract: The client’s terms and conditions are invalid. These terms and conditions are also applicable to the following deliveries on the basis of written or verbal orders.
1) Price: A charge for an increase in work costs, materials costs and VAT occurring after signing of the contract will be forwarded in the same amount to the client if the delivery is supposed to take place more than 4 months after signing of the contract. In the event of a price increase in excess of 5 % the client can withdraw from the contract.
2) Freight, packaging, pallets: All freight costs for transport to the client shall be borne by the client, unless other arrangements have been made. Packaging shall be charged at cost price. Pallets shall be charged according to custom and practice and shall be credited, less handling and wear and tear costs, upon their return to the delivering RS Trading Company. Claims for loss or damage during transportation are to be made by the client to the haulage contractor and must be certified before receipt of the goods.
3) If on-site delivery has been agreed, then this is predicated on the access road and building site being accessible for a truck of at least 20t. Unloading is to be carried out by the client and is at the client’s risk. In the event of delivery by mobile crane the usual unloading charges shall be levied. Additional costs due to deficient readiness for acceptance at the delivery point shall be borne by the client.
4) Delivery deadline: Events of any kind for which RS Trading is not responsible (cessation of work, operational breakdowns, delivery impediments, etc.) release RS Trading from their delivery obligation for the duration of the impediment. Should RS Trading enter into a congruent deal for a consumer’s order, then we reserve the right to timely self delivery if delivery to RS Trading does not occur for reasons for which it is not responsible. The right to timely self delivery is generally reserved with respect to companies and corporate bodies under public law.
5) Guarantee, statute of limitations: If the purchaser is a company or a corporate body under public law, it can demand rectification of a deficiency as supplementary performance. Should this fail, its rights shall be determined in accordance with § 437 no. 2 and 3 of the German Civil Code; supplementary delivery is precluded. Claims in respect of deficiencies are precluded in the event of the sale of used moveable properties to companies or to corporate bodies under public law. In the case of the sale of new moveable properties to companies and in the event of the sale of such used items to consumers, claims in respect of deficiencies shall be subject to the statute of limitations after one year. § 438 Subparagraph. 1 No. 2 of the German Civil Code remains unaffected. In the event of defects discovered during the warranty period, the warranty extends to free delivery of replacement parts. The seller is only liable for damage incurred by the delivery item itself.
6) Notice of defects: Notice of defects must be made in writing. Notification of obvious defects must be submitted within 14 days of handover of goods, as guarantee claims would otherwise be forfeited. Timely despatch of notice of defects shall be sufficient to meet the deadline. § 377 of the German Code of Commercial Law remains unaffected. In the case of transported concrete deliveries the client must – immediately, and even before unloading – notify RS Trading by telephone of any obvious defects. Discrepancies in the delivered as opposed to the ordered quality, which are evident from the delivery docket, constitute evident defects. Goods with evident defects may not be installed or connected to or mixed with moveable objects.
7) Liability: In the event of premeditation and gross negligence RS Trading shall be fully liable in accordance with legal provisions. In the event of damages arising from injuries to life, limb, health, the Product Liability Act or from essential contractual obligations, RS Trading shall furthermore already be liable for any negligence. RS Trading does not bear any liability in excess of that mentioned above.
8) Payments are to be made immediately upon delivery of goods without any deduction, unless otherwise agreed.
9) Returns require the agreement of RS Trading. Only fault-free, generally useable goods can be credited upon freight-paid return to the supplier and presentation of invoice, less a handling flat fee of at least 15 % of its value.
10) Duty to preserve records: If a client receives company services or other services in conjunction with a property, and if the client is not a contractor or uses said services for its non-entrepreneurial area, the client is obligated under § 14 b Subparagraph 1 Part 5 of the German Value Added Tax Act to preserve the relevant invoices until the end of the year after the subsequent year.
11) Delivery date: Unless otherwise indicated, the delivery date shall constitute the invoicing date.
12) Assignment, offsetting: The client shall not be permitted to assign rights to third parties without the agreement of RS Trading GmbH. The client shall only be entitled to offset against claims for payment by RS Trading GmbH if the client’s outstanding account is uncontested or has been determined without further legal recourse.
13) Construction and work: If construction and work services are to be performed, then the provisions of the German Construction Contract Procedures (VOB / B) shall be applicable in respect of same.
14) The place of performance for mutual services is the headquarters of RS Trading commercial premises, which shall provide the services.
15) Fitting: Unless otherwise agreed, erection and fitting, e.g. of devices and machinery, are not included in the price.
16) Data protection: Personal data shall be stored in accordance with § 28 of the Federal German Data Protection Act and, if necessary for the purposes of credit checks and monitoring, forwarded to creditworthiness agencies.
17.1 Retention of title: RS Trading retains title to its property until complete fulfilment of the contract, in dealings with companies until payment of all outstanding accounts already arising out of the business association and ancillary outstanding accounts (interest on use, damages due to delay, etc.) still arising in close association with the delivered goods. The addition of individual items to an open account as well as balancing the account and the acceptance of the same shall not affect the retention of title. In the event of delayed payment by the client, RS Trading shall be entitled to repossess the goods subject to retention of title following a request for payment, and the client is obligated to release said goods.
The client shall only be entitled to resell, use or install the goods subject to retention of title as part of normal, correct commercial transactions and only with the proviso that outstanding accounts are actually paid to TS Trading. The client shall not be entitled to any other disposal of the goods subject to retention of title, especially pledging or assignment as security.
Upon cessation of payment, application for or opening of insolvency proceedings or implementation of extrajudicial mediation with creditors with regard to settlement of debts (§ 305 I no. 1. of German Insolvency Regulations), the right of resale, use or installation of the goods subject to retention of title and entitlement to collect assigned accounts shall be terminated.

This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play back videos provided by YouTube, which belongs to Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google).
In the process this uses the extended data protection mode which, according to information from the provider, initiates storage of user data only when a video is played back. When playback of an embedded YouTube video is started, the provider applies YouTube cookies in order to collect information on user behaviour.

If you are logged into Google, you data are associated directly with your account when you click on a video. If you do not want this association to be made with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your profile (even for users who are not logged in) as a user profile and analyses it. Such an analysis is made particularly in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR based on Google’s legitimate interest in inserting personalised advertising and market research, and/or the demand-based design of its website.

The reCAPTCHA function provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google) is used on this website.
