Our deliveries take place exclusively under the following conditions. Digressions from this will only be recognised if they were explicitly and separately confirmed in writing by the factory Groß St. Florian. Offers on our part are always non-binding. Orders placed with us are binding upon the Orderer with a signature, but only become effective for us through a separate written confirmation. Verbal side agreements are invalid. If our contract partner is a consumer, the provisions of the respective applicable version of the Austrian KSchG (Consumer Protection Act) apply. Where individual provisions of these Sales and Delivery Conditions are only applicable to a relationship between two enterprises, the provisions of the KSchG will substitute for them.
2. PRICES AND PAYMENTS:
Our prices are subject to change and will be charged in each case in accordance with the price list applicable at the time of delivery. If a consumer transaction is taking place, § 6 (1) number 5 KSchG applies. In case of partial deliveries, each individual shipment can be billed and fall due separately. Payments are to be made without discount, free of charges for us, by post or by bank directly to the factory. Payments to representatives will only be recognised if these have identified themselves as authorised to collect, providing evidence of a written authorisation. Set-off of payments based on claims of yourself or third parties against us is not permissible. In case of undue delay of payment, § 456 UGB applies; for a consumer transaction, interest for late payment of 6 % p.a. is explicitly agreed upon in case of undue delay of payment on the part of the Orderer.
3. DELIVERY AND DELIVERY TIME:
We will adhere to the stated delivery times where possible, but we do not assume any warranty for adherence to specific delivery times. If a fixed delivery date is separately agreed upon in writing, an appropriate extension period for performance is to be set for us in writing in case of non-adherence. The extension period must be at least 2 months. We are only obligated to render compensation for damages because of undue delay in delivery if we were grossly negligent in the undue delay in delivery. We are not liable for ordinary negligence. In particular, we are not liable if it is not possible for us to adhere to the delivery time because of delays that fall within the sphere of our suppliers or carriers. Shipping is at the expense and risk of the buyer. The conditions of the buyer on delivery and route are not binding on us, but we will try to comply with the wishes of the buyer as far as possible. By handing over the goods to the shipper or carrier, however, at the latest when leaving our factory, the risks of the usage and price including the risk of seizure are transferred to the buyer. We are entitled but not obliged to insure all the goods against transport damage at the expense of the receiver. Transport claims settlements must be carried out by the buyer.
4. FREIGHT AND TRANSPORTATION CHARGES:
You will bear the freight and transportation charges and the associated transport risk. The Customer must arrange transportation insurance. The choice of route and means of transportation remains left to us and will be effected without guarantee of the most economical or fastest shipping.
5. RESERVATION OF TITLE:
The delivered goods remain our property until full payment of all our claims against you, regardless of cause in law. In case of re-sale, you must notify the buyer of our reservation of title. Your claims against the buyer are considered assigned to us at the time of their coming into being. However, you remain authorised to collect until revocation. You must notify us of an attachment or other encroachments by third parties without delay and are further obligated to take all expedient steps to secure and enforce our claims.
We warrant for sound materials and proper assembly for the duration of six month or in the alternative for a maximum of 500 hours of operation after installation of the machine. This also applies to replacement parts delivered by us and other work performances. No liability is assumed - even when there is no defect - for delivered materials or delivery parts that are liable to premature wear and tear as a result of their material composition or the manner of their use. No defect as defined by § 922 ABGB is present if damages occur as a result of natural wear and tear, overloading, incorrect or negligent treatment, unsuitable operating resources, defective construction work, and effects of temperature, weather, of a chemical or electrical nature, or other natural effects. Interference by third parties, own fault, neglect of servicing or maintenance, fault in operation or other inappropriate interferences also do not fall under our warranty obligation in the absence of the existence of a defect. You must prove the existence of a defect.
You are obligated to inspect the delivered goods for defects without delay upon receipt and report the warranty claim in writing within 8 days, otherwise it will be forfeited.
In case of a justified complaint of defects, we will choose to either correct the error, exchange the defective parts, or compensate for the reduced value. The goods reported will be sent to us at your expense for remedying of defects and returned to you again at your expense.
If you are a consumer as defined by § 1 KSchG, the statutory warranty provisions and time limits of §§ 992-993 ABGB apply. § 8 KSchG applies with respect to the place of rectification.
As long as the buyer has not fulfilled his contractual payment obligation, we reserve the right to refuse to honour a warranty obligation. Our warranty expires when the buyer carries out changes or repairs to the goods without our consent.
7. COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGES AND LIABILITY:
We are only liable for damages caused by defects if, firstly, the prerequisite for a warranty claim exists and, secondly, we were grossly negligent with respect to the occurrence of the defect. The limitation of liability to gross negligence also applies to all consequential damages caused by defects, meaning the injury of persons, damages to goods that are not objects of the contract, other damages, and lost profit. Claims for damages also lapse within 6 months of delivery, irrespective of your knowledge of the damage and the damaging party. If a case of force majeure occurs after conclusion of contract or if the delivery of preliminary materials or rendering of prior performances fails without this being foreseeable by us, we have the right to withdraw from the contract either fully or partially without becoming liable to pay compensation to you. If we manufacture a machine based on construction information, drawings, or models provided by you, our liability does not extend to the validity and usability of the construction, but only to correct execution of the work. If third parties raise claims against us because of infringement of proprietary rights of any kind whatsoever, you must fully indemnify and hold us harmless. Proof of defect is governed by our inspection report. On expiration of three months any warranty obligation for concealed defects also expires. Our warranty obligation is excluded for parts that, due to their material properties or type of use, are liable to prior expenditure. In addition, it is also excluded, if different replacement parts are fitted by someone else.
8. PRODUCT LIABILITY:
Any claims for recourse against us under the title product liability are excluded. The buyer must hold us free of compensation claims or suits of law for any resulting disadvantages. Products manufactured by us are equipped with the safeguards that are considered necessary and are required by the applicable Austrian regulations. You will undertake any additional safety measures that are desired by you or that become necessary based on the specific situation or that are prescribed by law in other countries.
The object of purchase offers the safety that can be expected based on licensing regulations, user manuals, instructions of the seller concerning handling of the object of purchase - especially with respect to any prescribed inspections - and other directions given. Products or machines that are manufactured for business use may not be surrendered, sold, or otherwise passed on to consumers by you as an enterpriser. You
indemnify and hold us harmless against any resulting claims of the consumers under the Produkthaftungsgesetz (Product Liability Act) or analogous foreign regulations.
9. PLACE OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE:
The place of payment and performance is 8522 Groß St. Florian, the registered office of our company. We agree on domestic Austrian jurisdiction and, irrespective of value in dispute, the sole jurisdiction of the District Court of Deutschlandsberg. Solely domestic Austrian law is applicable to the contract concluded between us and all dealings arising from it.
10. PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY:
Plans, sketches, other technical documents, designs, catalogues, images, etc. remain the intellectual property of the Seller and are under the protection of the relevant statutory regulations with regard to reproductions and competition.
11. RESCISSION OF CONTRACT:
You may categorically not rescind the contract. If you refuse to perform the order, you agree to pay the remuneration owing to us pursuant to § 1168 ABGB. This will amount to 25% of the order value in any case. We reserve the right to bill and claim from you a higher percentage. Rescission is entirely excluded in cases of custom-made products.
12. IMAGES AND OFFER DRAWINGS:
Images of machines contained in our printing costs and offer drawings are non-binding and not definitive for execution, as we ceaselessly work on improvements.
13. PRODUCTS ACCORDING TO THE BUYER'S REQUEST:
If we manufacture a machine based on construction information, drawings, or models of the Buyer at the Buyer's request, our liability does not extend to the validity and usability of the construction, but only to the execution taking place in accordance with the Buyer's indications. In these cases, the Buyer must indemnify and hold the Seller harmless in case of any infringement of proprietary rights.
14. UNDUE DELAY IN PAYMENT IN CASES OF PARTIAL PAYMENTS:
If the purchase price is being paid in partial amounts, it is considered agreed that in case of undue delay by the Buyer with respect to the advance payment or even one instalment, the Buyer's seeking a moratorium, the opening of insolvency proceedings for the Buyer's assets, or dismissal of an application to open such proceedings because of
insufficient cost coverage, default will occur without prior warning and without an extension. If you are a consumer, the above applies if the prerequisites of § 13 KSchG have been met.
15. PAYMENT BY BILL OF EXCHANGE OR CHEQUE:
In case of handover of a bill of exchange or cheque, the day of redemption will be considered payment as agreed.
16. RIGHT TO COLLECT:
In case of undue delay, the Seller has the right to retrieve the object of purchase from the Buyer's custody and the Buyer waives both the right to file an action for disturbance of possession and the objection that the object of purchase is necessary for maintenance of the operation.
In case of undue delay, retrieval of the object of purchase by the Seller does not amount to rescission or taking of the object of purchase in place of payment. After retrieval of the object of purchase, the Seller has the right to dispose of the object of purchase freely. The value of the object of purchase at the time of retrieval will be credited to the Buyer, minus the costs incurred by the Seller, to the Buyer's account; all other payment obligations will be maintained. If you are a consumer, the above only applies if the prerequisites of § 22 KSchG have been met.
17. UNDUE DELAY IN PICK-UP AFTER REPAIR:
If devices surrendered to the Seller for repair are not picked up immediately after completion of the repair, the Seller has the right, after setting a 14-day extension period, to dispose of the repaired device freely and charge storage costs. In this case, the Customer only has the right to crediting of the device's present value to the Customer's account.
18. GOODS ON CALL:
Goods ordered on call are to be delivered and paid for as a fixed sale at the end of the call-off date without further arrangement.
19. COSTS OF ASSEMBLY:
Costs of assembly will only be borne by the Seller if a written commitment to this effect is issued. Otherwise, the Buyer or Customer agree to pay assembler hours plus travel expenses. Assembly of drain pipes will be charged by working time plus travel expenses;
the Buyer or Customer further agrees to also pay for all alteration, movement, and unloading activities of the employees of the Seller or Contractor. Assemblers do not have the right to make declarations concerning warranty in the name of the Seller or Contractor and also do not have the right to reclaim any systems, devices, or parts hereof. In case of set-up work, the Buyer is obligated to be present in person and provide two assistants free of charge.
20. REASONS FOR RELIEF:
If a case of force majeure arises after conclusion of contract or if delivery of preliminary materials fails to be realised without the Seller being at fault, the Seller has the right to suspend the delivery for the duration of the hindrance or to withdraw from the contract with respect to the parts that are not to be performed.
21. AGREEMENTS:
All agreements and accords must be in written form to be valid. Promises by employees or representatives of the Seller or Contractor are not valid.
22. REPLACEMENT PARTS up to 1000.00 euros will be supplied cash on delivery.
23. TAKING BACK OF GOODS only after prior written agreement and carriage free return shipment. Crediting will be minus 15 % of net value of goods for costs for return to storage.
24. GOODS ON CONSIGMENT:
The Orderer is liable for the loss or damaging of the goods in the Orderer's custody and the consequences of improper storage unless the loss or damaging is due to circumstances that could not have been prevented by the due care of a prudent businessman.
