Art. 1 General remarks – Area of application
(1) Our Terms and Conditions of Sale shall apply exclusively; we do not recognise any of the Purchaser's terms and conditions to the contrary or terms and conditions departing from our Terms and Condition of Sale, unless we had expressly agreed to their application in writing. Our Terms and Conditions of Sale shall also apply if, being aware of the Purchaser's terms and conditions to the contrary or of terms and conditions departing from our Terms and Conditions of Sale, make delivery to the Purchaser without reservations.
(2) All agreements made between the Purchaser and us for the purpose of the execution of this contract have been fixed in writing in this contract. For the interpretation of trade terms the Incoterms of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) according to the current valid version govern in doubt.
(3) Our Terms and Conditions of Sale shall only apply to companies in the meaning of Art. 310, para. 1, of the German Civil Code (BGB).
Art. 2 Quotation – Quotation documents
(1) If the purchase order is to be qualified as a quotation in accordance with Art. 145 of the German Civil Code (BGB), we can accept it within 2 (two) weeks.
(2) We reserve ownership rights and copyright to illustrations, drawings, cost calculations and other documents. This shall also apply to such written documents as are designated as 'confidential'. Before they can be passed on to third parties, the Purchaser shall require our express written approval.
Art. 3 Prices – Terms of payment
(1) Unless stated otherwise in the order acknowledgement, our prices shall be deemed to be 'ex works', excluding packaging; this shall be invoiced separately.
(2) Statutory value-added tax is not included in our prices; it shall be shown separately in the invoice at the statutory level as of the day of invoicing.
(3) The deduction of discount for early payment shall require special written agreement.
(4) Unless stated otherwise in the order acknowledgement, the purchase price is due for payment net (without deduction) within 14 days of the invoice date. The statutory rules regarding the consequences of default in payment shall apply.
(5) The Purchaser shall only be entitled to offsetting rights if its counter-claims have been the subject of an absolute and enforceable court decision, are not in dispute or have been recognised by us. Moreover, it shall be authorised to exercise a right of retention if its counter-claim is based on the same contractual relationship.
Art. 4 Delivery time
(1) The start of the delivery time stated by us shall necessitate clarification of all technical questions.
(2) The meeting of our supply obligation is, moreover, conditional upon the timely and orderly meeting of the Purchaser's obligations. We shall reserve the right to use the plea of non-performed contract.
(3) Should the Purchaser default on acceptance or if it culpably violates any obligations to co-operate, we shall be entitled to demand compensation for any damage/loss we have incurred to that extent, including any possible additional expenses. We shall reserve the right to make further claims.
(4) If the prerequisites of para. (3) are met, the danger of accidental perishing or accidental deterioration of the item purchased and/or the item worked on shall pass to the Purchaser at the point in time at which the latter defaulted on acceptance or as a debtor.
(5) We shall accept liability in accordance with the statutory provisions if the sales contract/contract for work and services is a transaction for delivery by a fixed date in the meaning of Art. 286, para. 2, No. 4, of the German Civil Code (BGB) or of Art. 376 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). We shall also accept liability in accordance with the statutory provisions if, as a consequence of a delay in delivery for which we are responsible, the Purchaser is entitled to claim that its interest in further performance of the contract has ceased.
(6) We shall, moreover, accept liability in accordance with the statutory provisions if the delay in delivery is based on intentional or grossly negligent breach of contract for which we are responsible; a fault on the part of our representatives or vicarious agents is to be attributed to us. If the supply contract is not based on intentional breach of contract for which we are responsible, our liability for damages shall be limited to foreseeable damage/loss typically occurring.
(7) We shall also accept liability in accordance with the statutory provisions if the delay in delivery for which we are responsible is based on culpable violation of a material contractual obligation; in this case, however, the liability for damages shall be limited to the foreseeable damage/injury/loss typically occurring.
(8) Otherwise we shall be liable in the event of a delay in delivery for every full week of delay within the scope of flat-rate compensation for default in the amount of 1 % of the declared value of the goods, but for a maximum of no more than 5 % of the declared value of the goods.
(9) Further statutory claims and rights of the Purchaser are reserved.

(2) Transport packaging and all other packaging in accordance with the Packaging Regulations shall not be taken back. The Purchaser shall be obliged to make arrangements for disposal of the packaging at its own expense.
(3) If the Purchaser so desires, we shall take out transport insurance for the delivery; the costs thus incurred shall be borne by the Purchaser.
Art. 6 Liability for defects
(1) The Purchaser's claims on the basis of defects assume that the latter has met its obligations to examine and its obligations to make a complaint in respect of the defect immediately on receipt of the goods under Art. 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) in accordance with the regulations.
(2) A material deficiency of the item exists, if it differs noticeable from the agreed construction, quantity, configuration, suitability or, if nothing else is agreed, from the usual configuration and suitability in Ibbenbüren. A defect in title of the item exists, if, at the time risk passes, the item is not free from rights or claims of third parties enforceable in the Federal Republic of Germany. Further exclusions or reductions of liability of us provided by law remains unaffected. If not agreed in written form explicitly, we are in particular not responsible for the suitability of the item for other than the usual use or that it fulfils the further expectations of the customer or that it is free from rights or claims of third parties out of the Federal Republic of Germany.
(3) If there is a defect in the object of purchase or work item, the Purchaser has the possibility to demand supplementary performance. The supplementary performance occurs by removal of a defect or delivery of an new item free of defects at our option. In the case of removal of defects we shall be obliged to bear all of the expense necessary for the purpose of the removal of defect, in particular transport, travel, work and material costs, as far as these do not increase as a result of the object purchased/ work item being brought to a place other than the place of performance.
(4) If subsequent performance fails, the Purchaser shall be entitled to demand, at its option, termination of the contract or a reduction in price.
(5) We shall accept liability in accordance with the statutory provisions if the Purchaser makes claims for damages which are based on intent or gross negligence, including intent or gross negligence on the part of our representatives or vicarious agents. If we are not accused of any intentional breach of contract, the liability for damages shall be limited to the foreseeable damage/injury/loss typically occurring.
(6) We shall accept liability in accordance with the statutory provisions if we culpably violate a material contractual obligation; in that case, however, the liability for damages shall be limited to the foreseeable damage/injury/loss typically occurring.
(7) Liability on the basis of culpable injury to life and limb or impairment of health shall remain unaffected; this shall also apply to mandatory liability in accordance with the Product Liability Act.
(8) Unless ruled upon otherwise above, liability shall be excluded.
(9) The period of limitations for claims based on defects shall be 12 months, counting from the passing of risk. This does not apply, if it is a sale of an item that is usually used for a building and that causes the respective defect.
(10) The period of limitations in the event of a supply recourse in accordance with Articles 478, 479 of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall remain unaffected; it shall amount to five years, counting from delivery of the defective item.
Art. 7 Overall liability
(1) Any further liability for damages than that provided for in Art. 6 shall be – without regard to the legal nature of the claim made – excluded. This shall apply in particular to claims for damages for fault at the time of the conclusion of the contract, because of any other failure to comply with duties or due to tortious claims for compensation for material damage in accordance with Art. 823 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
(2) The limitation in para. (1) is also valid, as far as the Purchaser demands the indemnity for useless expenditures instead of the achievement in place of entitlement to compensation.
(3) If liability for damages in relation to us has been excluded or restricted, this shall also apply with regard to the personal liability for damages of our white-collar workers, employees, members of staff, representatives and vicarious agents.
Art. 8 Securing by retention of title
(1) We shall retain the title to the object purchased/item of work up to the receipt of all payments under the business connection to the Purchaser. In the event of behaviour of the Purchaser not in conformity with the contract, in particular in the event of delay in payment, we shall be entitled to take back the object purchased/item of work. The taking-back of the object purchased/work item by us shall not imply any withdrawal from the contract, unless we have expressly declared this in writing. Seizure of the object purchased/item of work by us shall always imply withdrawal from the contract. After taking back the object purchased/item of work, we shall be entitled to make use of it, the proceeds from utilisation are to be offset against the Purchaser's liabilities - minus reasonable costs of utilisation.
(2) The Purchaser shall be obliged to treat the object purchased/item of work with care; in particular it shall be obliged to insure them at its own expense against damage by fire or water and against theft adequately and at the replacement value. If maintenance and inspection work is necessary, the Purchaser must carry this out at its own expense.
(3) In the event of seizure or other intervention by third parties, the Purchaser must inform us without delay in writing so that we can bring an action pursuant to Art. 771 of the German Rules of Civil Procedure (ZPO). If the third party is unable to reimburse us for the court and extra-judicial costs of a suit pursuant to Art. 771 of the German Rules of Civil Procedure (ZPO), the Purchaser shall be liable for the loss sustained by us.
(4) The Purchaser shall be entitled to resell the object purchased/item of work in the ordinary course of business; it shall, however, already now assign to us all accounts receivable in the amount of the final amount of the invoice (including VAT) for our account receivable which accrue to it from resale to its customers or to third parties, and, in fact, irrespective of whether the item has been resold without or after processing. We accept the assignment. The Purchaser shall remain empowered to collect this account receivable even after assignment. Our authority to collect the account receivable ourselves shall remain unaffected by this. However, we shall undertake not to collect the account receivable as long as the Purchaser meets its payment obligations from the proceeds received, does not default and in particular no application for the opening of bankruptcy or composition or insolvency proceedings has been made and no suspension of payments has occurred. If this is, however, the case, we can demand that the Purchaser make known to us the assigned accounts receivable and their debtors, provides all of the information necessary for collection, hands over the related documents and informs the debtors (third parties) of the assignment.
(5) The processing or the transformation of the object by the Purchaser shall always be carried out on our behalf. If the object purchased/item of work is processed together with other items not belonging to us, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the value of the item (final amount of the invoice, including VAT) to the other items processed at the time of processing. To the item produced by processing the same shall otherwise apply as to the item supplied with reservation of ownership.
(6) If the item is mixed with other items not belonging to us, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new item in the relationship of the value of the item (final amount of the invoice, including VAT) to the other mixed items as of the point in time of mixing. If mixing is carried out in such a way that the Purchaser's item is to be considered the main item, it shall be deemed to have been agreed that the Purchaser shall transfer co-ownership to us on a percentage basis. The Purchaser shall keep in custody the sole ownership or co-ownership which has thus arisen on our behalf.
(7) The Purchaser shall assign to us in order to secure our accounts receivable from it, also those accounts receivable which have accrued to it as claims against a third party as a result of the combination of the object purchased/item of work with a plot of land. We accept the assignment.
(8) We undertake to release, at the Purchaser's request, the collateral to which we are entitled if the realisable value of our collateral exceeds the accounts receivable to be secured by more than 10 %; the selection of the collateral to be released shall be incumbent on us.
Art. 9 Venue – Place of performance
(1) The venue shall be our business location; we are, however, entitled to sue the Purchaser also at his general venue.
(2) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply; the application of the UN Sales Convention shall be excluded.
(3) Unless stated otherwise in the order acknowledgement, our principal place of business shall be the place of performance.
