4. The supplier is not bound to previous prices in subsequent orders (follow-up orders).
§ 3 Delivery and Receival
6. The supplier may delay delivery because of a force majeure for the duration of the difficulties including an appropriate time for a return to normality, or in the case of non-completion of a delivery rescind the contract wholly or in part. As a force majeure qualify strikes, lockouts or unforeseeable and unavoidable situations, such as breakdowns, which, notwithstanding all reasonable efforts, render on-time delivery by the supplier impossible; however, the supplier must prove such delays. This also is the case when the aforementioned delays occur after previous delays or when delays occur with a sub-contractor. The customer may request the supplier to declare within two weeks whether a cancellation of the contract or a late delivery is appropriate. If the supplier does not respond to the request the customer may rescind the remaining, not yet completed part of the contract. The supplier shall inform the customer without delay when a force majeure, as defined in clause 1 has occurred. The supplier is obliged to minimize the inconvenience to the customer, if necessary he may have to hand over the forms and tooling for the duration of the obstruction.
§ 4 Packing, Despatch, Risk Transfer and Acceptance Delays
§ 5 Reserved Ownership
2. Further processing or treatment of supplied goods by the customer may only be carried out by excluding the ownership rights of the customer according to § 950 BGB (Federal common Law of Germany) as contracted by
the supplier. The supplier becomes co-owner of the thus produced goods to the proportional value of the net manufacturing cost to the net post-manufacturing processed cost of the thus produced goods, which serve as reserved ownership goods to secure the property claims of the supplier as per clause 1.
3. Further processing (in combination or addition) by the customer with other goods not owned by the supplier, §§ 947, 948 BGB (Federal common Law of Germany) are applicable, resulting in proportional coownership by the supplier in the resulting goods, which are now considered reserved ownership goods.
4. The resale of reserved ownership goods by the customer is only permissible as part of normal commercial practice and on condition that the customer reaches an agreement with the supplier regarding reserved ownership goods as defined in clauses 1 to 3. The customer is not entitled to take any other action in respect of reserved ownership goods, in particular pawning, mortgaging or using the goods as security.
6. When reserved property is resold by the customer after further processing action in combination or addition with other goods, not owned by the supplier, as outlined in clause 2 and 3 above the customer cedes all purchase price claims according to clause 5 to the account value of the reserved ownership goods of the supplier.
9. Should the supplier, taking action according to the above clauses, make use of his right to take back the reserved ownership goods, the supplier is entitled to an unencumbered sale or auction of said goods. Laying a claim to restricted ownership property and in particular the request of surrender represents a cancellation of the contract. The value of the returned reserved ownership goods shall be as sold or auctioned and no higher than the agreed contract price. Further claims for compensation, in particular compensation for loss of earnings, are reserved.
3. Defects are to be notified without delay, hidden defects are to be noted immediately after discovery. In either case the warranty only extends to one year after risk transfer, unless agreed to differently or if the statutory limit of § 438 para. 1 clause 2, § 479 para. 1 and § 634a para. 1 clause 2 of the German Common Law (BGB) proscribes longer warranty periods as mandatory.
4. The supplier must re-supply if the warranty claims are found to be justified – in which case the production samples released by the customer determine the expected quality and finish. The customer is entitled to reduce the purchase price or rescind the contract if the supplier does not fulfil his duty to resupply within a reasonable period or replacements fail repeatedly. Further claims, in particular claims for loss or damages due to defective supplies or subsequent resulting damages are regulated by § 6 1. Replaced parts are to be returned to the supplier at his request and cost.
5. Unauthorized reworking and improper handling of defective parts result in the loss of any right to claims for compensation due to defective parts. The customer is entitled, after prior consultation with the supplier, to repair defective parts to avoid much larger damage or if the supplier fails to make good the defects and to demand compensation for appropriate costs.
7. Rights to referred warranty provisions according to §§ 478, 479 of Federal Common Law (BGB) only allow the consumer to make claims within the scope of the legislation and do not regulate the understanding of good will provisions with the supplier and assume that any party with referred warranty rights will duly observe their duty, in particular the duty to report defects.
1. Payment is to be made in € (EURO) and is to go solely to the supplier.
2. In the absence of a different arrangement the purchase price for supplies or other services is payable immediately without deduction.Any discount applied presupposes the due settlement of all undisputed outstanding previous accounts. Any payment made by cheque does not attract a discount.
§ 9. Forms (Tooling)
2. The supplier has and retains ownership of all tooling made by the supplier for the customer or by a contracted third party, unless agreed differently. The tooling is only to be used for contracts of the customer for as long as the customer discharges his payment and receival obligations promptly. The supplier is obliged to replace the tooling free of charge only when the required production quantity necessitates its replacement. The supplier’s requirement to store the tooling is extinguished two years after the last delivery of parts produced with the said tooling and after the customer has been duly notified.
3. As per contract, forms and tooling become the property of the customer after full payment of their purchase price. The transfer of forms and tooling to the customer is replaced by the storage of the said forms and tooling with the supplier in favour of the customer. Independent of the legal right of surrender the customer has, and the life of the forms and tooling the supplier is entitled to exclusive possession and use of same until the end of the contract period. The supplier must mark forms and tooling as ‘outside property’ and insure said property at the customer’s request and expense.
§ 10 Supply of Materials
1. When the customer supplies production materials, said materials are to be delivered at the customer’s own cost and risk, on time and in good order and in quantities in excess of at least 10%.
2. If the above provision is not complied with, the delivery deadline shall slip accordingly. The customer has to bear any additional costs, including extra costs incurred due to breaks in production, except in the case of a force majeure.
§ 11 Commercial Protection and Legal Limitation
1. For all deliveries based on models, patterns or parts supplied by the customer the customer guaranties that the commercial rights of third parties in the country for which the goods are being manufactured are not injured. The supplier will advise the customer of any rights known to him. The customer has to release the supplier from any claims of a third party and pay compensation for any resulting damage. The supplier is entitled to stop all work – without any further examination of the legal position – until the legal position has been clarified by the customer and the third party involved after an injunction covering the supply or production of the goods to protect the commercial rights of the third party has been issued. If the continuation of the contract should become untenable to the supplier, the supplier may rescind the contract.
4. For all other legal product limitations § 6 applies.
§ 12 Production and Legal Venues
1. The production venue is the works of the supplier. (Wiedergeltingen)
