for our Products and Services.
These sales conditions apply in relation to entrepreneurs and businesses, legal entities under public law, and special funds under public law.
Our sales conditions shall be applicable exclusively; we do not recognize any orderer’s conditions inconsistent with or deviating from our sales conditions unless we explicitly agree in writing to their applicability. Our sales conditions shall apply also if we deliver without reservation to the orderer with knowledge of any orderer’s conditions inconsistent with or deviating from our sales conditions.
Our sales conditions shall apply also to all future business with the orderer.
(1) Our offers are subject to change (without notice) and non-binding unless they are explicitly stated to be binding or contain a specific acceptance period.
(2) Orders become binding only through our confirmation of order. The transaction of the business shall be governed by the content of this confirmation of order.
(3) Oral agreements must always be confirmed promptly in writing.
(4) Legally relevant statements to be made or notices to be given to us by the orderer after the conclusion of the agreement (e.g. fixing of deadlines, complaints about defects) must be in writing to be effective.
(5) The information and illustrations in prospectuses and catalogues constitute approximate information customary in our branch of business unless explicitly referred to by us as binding.
(1) Agreements for an indeterminate term can be terminated with 2 months’ notice effective from the end of a calendar quarter.
(2) If the labour costs, the costs of materials or the energy costs change substantially for a long-term contract (contracts with a term of more than 4 months or contracts with an indeterminate term), either contracting party has the right to demand a reasonable adjustment of the price with due consideration of these factors.
(3) If no binding order volume is agreed on, we base our calculation on the non-binding order volume (target volume) expected by the orderer for a specific period of time.
If the orderer purchases less than the target volume, we have the right to reasonably increase the unit price.
If the orderer purchases more than the target volume, we will reasonably reduce the unit price, provided the orderer announced the additional demand at least 3 months before delivery.
(4) In the case of a supply agreement on call, binding volumes must be communicated to us at least 2 months before the delivery date by means of a call, unless otherwise agreed.
Extra costs caused by a late call or by subsequent changes regarding the time or volume of a call by the orderer shall be borne by the orderer; our calculation shall be decisive for this purpose.
(1) Each contracting party shall use all documents (including samples, models and data) and knowledge obtained through the business relationship only for the purposes jointly pursued and with the same care as for its own documents, and keep knowledge secret from third parties insofar as the other contracting party has designated such knowledge as confidential or has a manifest interest in keeping it secret.
This obligation begins when such a document or knowledge is first received and ends 36 months after the end of the business relationship.
(2) The obligation shall not apply to documents and knowledge generally known or already known to the contracting party at the time of receipt without any confidentiality obligation, or transmitted thereafter by a third party entitled to disclose such documents or knowledge, or developed by the receiving contracting party without any use of the other contracting party’s documents or knowledge to be kept secret.
If a contracting party makes drawings or other technical documents available to the other contracting party regarding the goods to be delivered or regarding their production, the contracting party providing such drawings or technical documents shall retain title thereto.
(1) The production costs for samples and means of production (tools, moulds, templates etc.) shall be invoiced separately from the goods delivered, unless otherwise agreed. This applies also to means of production which must be replaced due to wear and tear.
(2) We shall bear the costs for maintaining and properly storing the means of production as well as the risk of damage or destruction.
(3) If the orderer suspends or ends the co-operation during the production time for the samples or means of production, all production costs incurred until then shall be borne by the orderer.
(4) The means of production shall remain in our possession at least until the supply agreement has been completed, even if the orderer has paid for them. Thereafter, the orderer has the right to demand that the means of production be handed over, provided an agreement has been reached on the time of the hand-over and that the orderer has fully performed its contractual obligations.
(5) We shall store the means of production free of charge for three years after the last delivery to our orderer. Thereafter, we will ask the orderer in writing to make a statement within 6 weeks on their further use. Our obligation to store the means of production shall end if no statement is made within these 6 weeks or if no order is placed; ownership of the means of production shall then pass over to us.
(6) Buyer-related means of production may be used by us for deliveries to third parties only with the orderer’s prior written consent.
Our prices are stated in EURO without sales tax, packaging, freight, postage, insurance, customs duties (in the case of export deliveries), fees and other public charges. The prices apply to the goods and services specified in the confirmation of order. Extra or special services will be charged separately.
Where the agreed prices are based on our list prices, or deliver is to be made only more than four months after the conclusion of the contract, the list prices applicable at the time of delivery (in each case deducting an agreed percentage or fixed discount) shall apply.
(1) Payments shall be due and owing no later than upon delivery or performance. Any payment period must be agreed on, invoices being in principle due and owing without any discount within 30 days of the invoice date. If, deviating from this principle, a payment period with a discount is individually agreed on, the orderer can make this deduction only if he is not in default of any payment. The relevant date of payment is the day of receipt by us. Cheques shall be regarded as payment only after actual payment is received.
(2) If partly defective goods have undisputedly been delivered by us, the orderer shall nevertheless be obliged to make payment for the defect-free part, unless the partial delivery is of no interest to him. Apart from that, the orderer can set off only counterclaims only if they have been awarded by final judgement or are undisputed.
(3) In the event of payment after the due date, we have the right to charge default interest at the rate charged by our bank for overdraft facilities, but at least 8 percent above the applicable base interest rate of the European Central Bank. Our right to demand a higher interest rate as well as further damages in the event of default shall remain unaffected.
(4) In the event of default of payment, we can suspend the performance of our obligations until receipt of payment provided we notify the orderer in advance.
(5) Bills of exchange and cheques will be accepted only if that is separately agreed on and only as conditional payment and on condition of eligibility for discount. Discount charges are payable from the due date of the invoice amount. Any warranty for the timely presentation of the bill of exchange or cheque and for the entering of protest is excluded.
(6) If it becomes apparent after the conclusion of the agreement that our payment claim may be endangered by the orderer’s inability to perform, we can refuse to perform and set a reasonable time limit for the orderer within which he must pay, in which case delivery shall be concurrent with payment, or must provide security. If the orderer refuses or if the period expires without payment being made or security being provided, we shall have the right to cancel the agreement and to demand damages.
(1) Delivery dates and delivery periods indicated by us are only approximate unless a fixed date or period is expressly promised or agreed on.
(2) Unless otherwise agreed, we deliver “ex works”. Our notice announcing our readiness for shipment or readiness to collect the goods determines whether delivery is made on time.
(3) The delivery period begins when our confirmation of order is mailed and shall extend for a reasonable period if the conditions in § 16 are fulfilled.
the orderer does not incur considerable additional expenditures or additional costs (unless we declare our willingness to take over these costs).
Partial deliveries will be invoiced separately.
(1) Goods reported ready for shipment must be taken over promptly by the orderer. Otherwise we shall have the right either to ship them at our option or to store them at the orderer’s expense and risk. The orderer must pay a storage fee to us for such storage amounting to 0.5% at the beginning of every month, but no more than 5% in total of the price of the goods to be delivered. The contracting parties shall remain free to prove higher or lower costs.
(2) In the absence of any special agreement, we will choose the means and itinerary of transportation.
(3) The risk shall pass over to the orderer when the goods are handed over to the railway company, the forwarder or the carrier or, as the case may be, at the beginning of storage, but no later than when they leave the works or the warehouse, even if we undertake to effect delivery.
(4) If the shipment or delivery is delayed in consequence of circumstances caused by the orderer, the risk shall pass over to the orderer on the day on which the goods to be delivered are ready for shipment and we have notified the orderer.
(1) If we can foresee that the goods cannot be delivered within the delivery period, we will inform the orderer, stating the reasons and if possible also the expected time of delivery.
(2) If delivery is delayed by one of the circumstances described in § 16 or due to the orderer’s acts or omissions, an extension of the delivery time reasonable under the circumstances shall be granted.
(3) The observance of dates and deadlines for deliveries is contingent upon the timely receipt of all documents, necessary permits and releases to be made available by the orderer and on the performance of the agreed conditions of payment and other obligations by the orderer. If these conditions are not fulfilled in time, the periods shall be extended reasonably unless we are responsible for the delay.
(4) The orderer has the right to cancel the agreement only if we are responsible for the failure to keep the delivery date and he granted us a reasonable additional period without delivery being made. The orderer is obliged at our request to declare within a reasonable period whether he wishes to cancel the agreement because of the delay in delivery or insists on delivery.
(5) Delivery by us is late if the statutory conditions for delay are fulfilled. In any case, a reminder by the orderer is necessary.
(6) If we are in delay, the orderer can demand compensation – provided he can reasonably show that the delay has caused him to incur a loss – of 0.5% for each full week of delay, however with a maximum of 5% of the value of the goods delivered late.
(7) Damage claims based on late delivery and damage claims instead of performance going beyond the limits set out in § 11 (6) shall be excluded for the orderer in all cases of delayed delivery, even after the expiry of a delivery period fixed by us. This shall not apply where liability is mandatory in cases of intent, gross negligence or of wrongful death, physical injury or impairment of health.
(1) We retain title to the goods delivered until all claims arising from the business relationship with the orderer have been settled.
(2) The orderer has the right to sell these goods in the ordinary course of business as long as he performs his obligations arising from the business relationship with us in time. However, the orderer must neither pledge the goods delivered subject to retention of title nor transfer title thereto by way of security. The orderer is obliged to safeguard our rights in the event of a credit resale of such goods.
(3) In the event of breach of contract by the orderer, in particular failure to pay the purchase price when due, we shall have the right in accordance with the provisions of the law to cancel the agreement and/or to demand that the goods be surrendered to us on the basis of our retention of title. The claim for possession shall not at the same time constitute a cancellation of the agreement; instead we shall have the right to merely demand that the goods be returned, reserving the right at the same time to cancel the agreement. If the orderer does not pay the price when due, we may assert these rights only if we first unsuccessfully fixed a reasonable period for payment by the orderer or if the fixing of such a period is dispensable according to the provisions of the law.
Furthermore, we shall be entitled to cancel the agreement if an application is made for the institution of insolvency proceedings regarding the orderer’s assets.
(4) All claims and rights arising from the sale or from the permitted leasing of goods by the orderer are assigned already hereby to us by the orderer by way of security, provided we are the owners of the goods. We hereby accept the assignment. The orderer remains entitled to collect these claims even after the assignment. Our right to collect the claims ourselves shall remain unaffected. However, we undertake not to collect the claims as long as the orderer performs his payment obligations arising from the proceeds received, is not in default in payment, and in particular no application has been made for the institution of composition or insolvency proceedings and payments have not been stopped. But if that is the case, we can demand that the orderer inform us of the claims assigned and their debtors, provide all information necessary for collection, hand over the related documents, and notify the debtors (third party) of the assignment.
(5) Any treatment or processing of the goods sold subject to retention of title shall always be effected by the orderer for us. If such goods are processed or inseparably mixed with other things not belonging to us, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new thing in the proportion between the invoice value of the goods sold subject to retention of title and the other processed or mixed things at the time of processing or mixing. If our goods are combined or inseparably mixed with other movable things, forming a single thing, and if the other thing is to be regarded as the principal thing, the orderer shall transfer pro rata co-ownership to us insofar as the principal thing belongs to him. The orderer shall safekeep ownership or co-ownership for us. Apart from that, the rules for the goods sold subject to retention of title shall apply likewise to the thing created by processing or combining or mixing.
(6) The orderer must inform us promptly of any execution by third parties against the goods sold subject to retention of title, the claims assigned to us or against other security, handing over all documents necessary for intervention. The same shall apply to any interferences of any kind.
(7) If the value of the existing security exceeds the secured claims by more than 20% in total, we shall be obliged at the orderer’s request to release security at our option.
(1) The quality and characteristics of the goods shall be determined exclusively by the agreed technical delivery specifications. If we are obliged to deliver in accordance with the orderer’s drawings, specifications, samples etc., he shall bear the risk of suitability for the intended use. The decisive point in time for the contractual condition of the goods is the time of the passing of the risk according to § 10.
(2) We shall not be liable for quality defects caused by unsuitable or improper use, faulty assembly or commissioning by the orderer or third parties, usual wear and tear, wrong or negligent treatment, nor for the consequences of improper changes or maintenance made by the orderer or third parties without our consent. The same applies to defects which only insignificantly reduce the value or suitability of the goods.
(3) Warranty claims shall be time-barred after 12 months. The legal provisions regarding the interruption or suspension or the new beginning of the periods shall remain unaffected.
(4) The buyer’s warranty claims are contingent upon his having performed his legal duties to examine the goods and to complain of defects (secs. 377, 381 HGB – German Commercial Code). If a defect is revealed by the examination or later, we must be notified promptly in writing. Such notification is made promptly if it is made within two weeks, this deadline being kept if the notification is sent in time. If the orderer fails to properly examine the goods and/or to notify us of a defect, our liability for the non-reported defect shall be excluded. If formal acceptance of the goods or an initial sample test is agreed on, a complaint about defects is excluded if such defects could have been discovered through careful acceptance or initial sample testing.
(5) We must be given an opportunity to verify the existence of the defect. Goods objected to must be sent back to us promptly at our request; we shall pay the costs of transportation if the complaint was justified. If the orderer does not perform these obligations, or makes changes without our consent to the goods already having been objected to, he shall lose any warranty claims.
will remedy the defect or, at our option, deliver a defect-free product.
(7) We must first be given an opportunity for subsequent performance within a reasonable period.
(8) If subsequent performance fails, the orderer can – without prejudice to any damage claims according to § 15 – cancel the agreement or reduce the remuneration.
(9) Claims relating to the expenditures necessary for the purpose of subsequent performance, in particular transportation, travelling, labour costs and the cost of materials, shall be excluded for the orderer insofar as the expenditures increase because the item to be delivered was subsequently moved to some other place, unless that is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
(10) The orderer has the rights of recourse provided by law against us only insofar as the orderer has not made any agreements with his customer going beyond the legal warranty claims. Furthermore, the final sentence of § 13 (10) shall apply analogously to the extent of the rights of recourse.
(11) Damage claims shall in addition be governed by § 15 (Other Claims, Liability). Other claims than those dealt with in this § 13 and further claims against us and against persons employed by us in the performance of our contractual obligations shall, to the extent based on a quality defect, be excluded for the orderer.
(12) In case of a warranty claim, the orderer may retain payments in an amount which is reasonable in proportion to the quality defects. The orderer can retain payments only if a complaint about a quality defect has been made and is undoubtedly justified. If the complaint is unjustified, we shall have the right to demand compensation from the orderer for the expenditures incurred by us.
a) We will at our option and at our expense either obtain the right to use the goods delivered or change them in such a way that the property right is not infringed, or replace them. If this is not reasonably possible for us, the orderer shall have the rights to cancel the agreement or to reduce the price provided for by law.
b) Our obligation to pay damages is determined by § 15.
c) The obligations described above shall exist only insofar as the orderer informs up promptly in writing of the claims asserted by the third party, does not acknowledge an infringement, and all defensive measures and settlement negotiations remain reserved for us. If the orderer discontinues the use of the goods in order to mitigate the damage or for other important reasons, he must point out to the third party that the discontinuation of use does not constitute an acknowledgement of the infringement of the property right.
(2) The orderer’s claims are excluded insofar as he is responsible for the infringement of the property right.
(3) The orderer’s claims shall also be excluded insofar as the infringement of the property right is caused by the orderer’s specific requirements, by use unforeseeable by us, or due to the fact that the goods delivered are changed by the orderer or used together with products not delivered by us.
(4) In case of an infringement of the property right, the orderer’s claims dealt with in (1) a) shall also be governed by § 13 (8) and (13).
(5) In case of other defects of title, the provisions in § 13 (Quality Defects) shall apply analogously.
(6) Other claims than those dealt with in this § 14 and further claims against us and against persons employed by us in the performance of our contractual obligations shall, to the extent based on a defect of title, be excluded for the orderer.
(1) Damage claims and claims for compensation for expenditures (hereinafter: damage claims) shall be excluded for the orderer regardless of their legal basis, especially claims based on the violation of contractual duties or on tort.
(2) This shall not apply in the case of mandatory liability, e.g. under the Product Liability Act, in cases of wilful intent, gross negligence, wrongful death, physical injury or health impairment, and the violation of major contractual duties (duties the performance of which only makes the proper performance of the agreement possible at all and which the contractual partner generally relies on and may rely on). However, the damage claim for the violation of major contractual duties is limited to the foreseeable damage typically arising from this kind of contract, except in case of wilful intent or gross negligence and in case of wrongful death, physical injury or impairment of health. The above provision does not involve a shift in the burden of proof to the orderer’s disadvantage.
(3) Any damage claims which the orderer may have under this § 15 shall be time-barred upon the end of the warranty period for quality defects according to § 13 (3). Damage claims under the Product Liability Act are governed by the provisions of the law.
Events of force majeure, labour disputes, unrest, government action, failure by our suppliers to supply, and other unforeseeable, unavoidable and serious events shall release the contracting parties from their obligations to perform for the duration of the disruption and to the extent that it has an effect. This applies also if the events occur at a time in which the contracting party concerned is in default. The contracting parties are obliged to the extent reasonable to promptly provide the necessary information and to adjust their obligations in good faith to the changed circumstances.
(1) Our domicile is the place of performance unless stated otherwise in the confirmation of order.
(2) If the orderer is a merchant, the sole place of jurisdiction is our domicile in case of any disputes arising directly or indirectly from the contractual relationship. However, we shall also have the right to sue at the orderer’s domicile.
(3) The legal relations in connection with this agreement shall be governed by German substantive law excluding the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
(4) Even if any provisions of the agreement are legally invalid, the remaining provisions of the agreement shall remain effective. This shall not apply if the continuation of the agreement would constitute an unreasonable hardship for one of the contracting parties.

(1) Each party shall use all documents, samples, models, data, and knowledge (collectively "Confidential Information") obtained through this business relationship only for the purposes herein expressed, shall treat the Confidential Information with the same care as its own information, and shall not disclose the Confidential Information to third parties. This Section shall survive termination of the parties' relationship as long as the Confidential Information is treated as confidential by the disclosing party.

(1) Except as otherwise agreed in the purchase order or as set forth herein, payments shall be due and owing within 30 days of the invoice date. If we agree to a discount, you can only take the agreed discount if you are not in default.

(1) Delivery dates and delivery periods indicated by us are only approximate unless a fixed date or period is expressly promised or agreed in writing. If we can foresee that the goods cannot be delivered by an identified delivery date, we will inform you, stating the reasons and if possible also the expected time of delivery.

If the goods are stored, you must pay a storage fee to us for such storage amounting to 0.5 % of the purchase price at the beginning of every month, but such fee shall not exceed 5% of the purchase price.

(3) Warranty claims shall be time-barred 12 months after delivery of the goods. In order to make a warranty claim within this period, you must provide us with written notice of the defect.

(4) We shall have a reasonable period of time after a warranty claim is made to remedy any defect or replace the goods.
