§5. An agreement between 123BigBags and the opposite party binds 123BigBags only in the case of a written (letter or e-mail) acceptance or if 123BigBags has fulfilled the agreement by delivering the goods to the opposite party. In this case the invoice is said to be a written acceptance of the order.
§6. The opposite party is not allowed to cancel an agreement that has already been accepted by 123BigBags except with a written permission of 123BigBags. Further, the opposite party says 123BigBags not to be responsible for any loss or costs, which 123BigBags create or from which it suffers, as a result of the cancellation of the agreement.
§1. All by 123BigBags used prices are in euro, unless otherwise is agreed in writing.
§2. All agreements base on the prices that are valid at the time of concluding the agreement.

If the difference is more than 5% of the invoice, the opposite party is allowed to change the order.
§3. A price, which is agreed between 123BigBags and the opposite party and which is said to be relevant, bases on the price agreed between 123BigBags and its supplier. If this price is changing because of circumstances for which 123BigBags is not responsible for - for example by a breach of contract or a deficiency by the supplier- 123BigBags has the right to give these changes to the opposite party and to adjust the price. 123BigBags tries to hold the original price as far as possible.

§4. 123BigBags is not liable for any damages that are a result of incomplete or inaccurate information from the opposite party, unless 123BigBags is expected of having been aware of those.

§6. The opposite party frees 123BigBags from possible claims of third parties which get damage in relation with the execution of the agreement and for whose the opposite party is responsible.
§7. 123BigBags holds on its right to take little changes on the agreement (so as mentioned in the offer) without becoming liable for damages and without giving any rights to the opposite party to cancel the agreement or to free from it.
§8. A change or an addition to the agreement is only valid if it is accepted expressly and in writing by 123BigBags. Changes have to be brought to the attention of 123BigBags in writing and in time.
§1.

A specified date of delivery never is a deadline.
§2. The delivery time begins when 123BigBags has accepted the order in writing or by e-mail. If the execution of the agreement depends on information or documents from the opposite party, then the delivery time begins when 123BigBags has got all information and documents, but never before the date of written acceptance (or by e-mail).
§3. If then the order is changed by the opposite party, 123BigBags is no longer bound by the original agreement and the date of delivery.
§4. Non-performance of the date of delivery does not entitle compensation for the opposite party. In this case the opposite party has no right to cancel or to stop the agreement, unless the delivery date is so far exceeded, that the opposite party can not be expected to stay on the relevant part of the agreement. In this case the opposite party is allowed to cancel or stop the agreement, but only so far as absolutely necessary, presupposed that 123BigBags has been informed in writing.
§1. All deliveries of 123BigBags are done from the factory / warehouse to the transporter or the address of the opposite party. This means, the risk goes over at the moment when the opposite party is informed that the goods are available in the factory / magazine. If delivery is done to the address of the opposite party, this address may so long be used by 123BigBags till the opposite party tells a new address.
§2. The goods are transported in a way determined by 123BigBags. If delivery is not done by 123BigBags, it gets to the expense and risk of the other party. The opposite party must have an insurance. Delivery is at the vehicle and is done by both, the driver and the opposite party. The goods are said to be accepted when the opposite party has got them.
§3. The opposite party is obliged to accept the goods. If the opposite party declines the acceptance, 123BigBags is allowed to store the goods on bill and risk of the opposite party. If the opposite party does not take the goods despite of them being available or a payment already has taken place, 123BigBags has, after having told the opposite party, the right to sell the goods in the name of the opposite party to a third party. The opposite party still has to pay the invoice, plus interest and possible damage compensation, but in a certain case reduced by the net proceed obtained by selling to a third party.
§4. If call of order has been agreed, the opposite party is obliged to have taken all goods within 3 months after having concluded the agreement, unless another call period has, in writing, been agreed. If the opposite party dos not call the delivery in whole and in time, 123BigBags has the right to deliver the rest of the goods immediately and to demand payment or – having reminded to pay within 8 days – to stop the agreement and to demand damage compensation.
§5. 123BigBags has the right to deliver in parts except complete delivery is agreed. In case of delivery in parts any delivery is said to be a separate delivery, unless otherwise is agreed or arises from the nature of the order.
§6. Transport costs shall be borne by the opposite party if not free delivery is agreed. At the time the goods (or parts of them) are charged, the risk for all direct and indirect damage done to the opposite party or a third party, by or on the goods, is at opposite party.
§1. If goods are available at the store of 123BigBags, they will be stored after the agreed collection period, on bill and risk of the opposite party.
§2. If it is agreed to have stored the goods by 123BigBags, storage is at the risk of the opposite party. In this case sending the invoice shall be deemed delivery and notice of storage.
§3. If goods, bought by the opposite party, can not be delivered at the agreed point of time, 123BigBags stores these goods at the risk of the opposite party. Any related costs shall be borne by the opposite party.
§4. The opposite party has the possibility to use the call off service. In this case a special agreement on call off service may be concluded.
§1. 123BigBags does not vouch for having given any guarantees or recommendations, concerning the quality of the goods, for a certain purpose. The opposite party has to ensure whether they are suitable for the determined purpose. Therefore, no promises or guarantees are given by 123BigBags.
§2. 123BigBags has the right to adjust quantities conform a former minimum of quantity and / or packing unit.
§3. The amounts listed in the agreement are given as accurate as possible, wherein 123BigBags has the right to deviate from the listed and agreed quantity.
§4. The delivered quantities are documented on the delivery paper.
§5. If the opposite party does not submit an eventual complaint about the delivery paper within 24 hours after having got it, the documented quantity is said to be correct and accepted.
§6. 123BigBags expressly reserves its right to change non-substantial details, relevant to the supply business, without prior notice.
§7. Unless expressly stated, all listed dimensions are approximate. If the dimensions are given by the opposite party, 123BigBags has no responsibility.
§8. The change of dimensions by the opposite party, after the agreement is concluded, entails that the related costs are to be paid by the opposite party.
§1. With respect to the agreed specifications, deviations, upward and downward, are permissible. For assessment, the average of the total of a variety, quality, colour and delivered quantity, is the scale. For other specifications as mentioned here, deviations, which have been allowed in an earlier delivery, are permissible. If it is agreed to a minimum or maximum value, double deviation upwards respective downwards, is permissible.
§1. Regardless of whether the sold goods already are delivered, ownership passes over to the opposite party when it has paid completely for all amounts in relation to the delivered or still to be delivered goods out of an agreement. This includes purchase price, interest, taxes and other costs, which are to pay owing to these terms and conditions or the agreement. As well applies the retention of title for all ongoing commitments out of the agreement, which are asserted by 123BigBags to the opposite party.
§2. Before the ownership has not passed over to the opposite party, the opposite party is not allowed to sell the goods or to give them to a third party for use, neither to pledge them or to give them to the favour of a third party in any other way. By disregarding this ban the purchase price has to be paid immediately and completely, not regarding the payment terms.
§3. The opposite party is obliged to handle the goods with care and as the property of 123BigBags. The opposite party has to do what is expected to ensure the ownership rights of 123BigBags.
§4. The opposite party is obliged to insure (and to keep insured) all goods, which are delivered with retention of title, against fire, (water-) damage and theft and has to show the insurance policy on demand.
§5. If the opposite party delays with a sum of money and / or does not, or not completely, fulfil its obligations, 123BigBags has the right to get back all delivered goods. The opposite party allows 123BigBags to bring all goods, worth the same amount called open, back in its possession, and has to pay for the costs. The opposite party is obliged to help. If the opposite party (even if called) refuses, 123BigBags therefore obtains a fine of €500,00 / day, so long as this transgression lasts and not regarding the right of 123BigBags to demand complete compensation.

§2. If the situation of “Force Majeure” lasts longer than a month, 123BigBags has the right to adjust the time of delivery and the price to the circumstances, or to stop the agreement (or parts of it) without becoming obliged to compensate any damage. This is also valid if 123BigBags gets an advantage out of this situation called “Force Majeure”.
§3. Circumstances outside the power of 123BigBags are all sorts of circumstances, over which 123BigBags does not have any control and whereby the fulfilling of the obligations is prevented, completely or partly, as well as fulfilling of obligations can not be expected, and it does not matter if such a circumstance has been predictable at the time concluding the agreement.

§4. If 123BigBags, in case of “Force Majeure”, has already fulfilled its obligations or only is able to fulfil them partly, 123BigBags is allowed to invoice the already delivered and the deliverable part separately; the opposite party is meant to consider this invoice as a separate agreement.
