Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 4', '§ 6', '§ 445', '§ 438', '§ 445', '§ 14', 'Art. 6']

(2) Beyond that, codex provides consultation to custom-ers only when explicitly requested to do so. Failure to make statements does not constitute consultation.
(1) Written offers by codex are non-binding and without obligation, provided they are not explicitly designated as binding or contain a defined acceptance period. Written offers by codex therefore are generally consid-ered invitations to bid, and only become binding upon a written confirmation of the same by codex.
(3) Statements by codex regarding the subject of the delivery or service (e.g. weights, sizes, utility value, capacity, tolerances and technical data), as well as representations of the same (e.g. drawings and illustra-tions), are only approximations, unless the usability for the contractually prescribed purpose requires an exact compliance. They are not guaranteed quality features, but rather descriptions or designations for the delivery or service. Normal trade variations, and deviations that occur on the basis of legal regulations or represent technical improvements are permissible, provided that they do not impair usability for the contractually prescribed purpose.
(6) Codex will accept the order within 10 working days of receipt of the order by confirmation of the order, provided that another acceptance period is not pre-scribed.
(2) If the customer withdraws an order before the contract is concluded, then codex, without prejudice to the possibility of making a claim for higher actual damage, shall be entitled to charge 10% of the delivery or service price for the costs arising due to the pro-cessing of the order and for the foregone profit. The customer shall reserve the right to prove a lower degree of damage.
(1) If the customer does not accept the goods due to a circumstance for which it is responsible on a permissi-ble/agreed delivery date or upon the expiration of the agreed delivery time, then codex may charge for every commenced month storage costs of 0.5%, subject to a total not exceeding 5% of the delivery or service price. The contractual parties remain free to prove higher or lower storage costs. codex is authorised to determine a suitable place for safekeeping at the expense and risk of the customer, as well as to insure the delivery or service items.
(1) codex shall not be liable if delivery is not possible or is delayed and this is caused by force majeure or other events unforeseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract (e.g. business disruptions of all kinds, difficulties in procuring material or energy, transport delays, strikes, legal lockouts, shortages in energy or raw materials, official measures, or outstanding, incorrect or untimely delivery by suppliers) for which codex is not responsible. If such events render it difficult or impossi-ble for codex to deliver or perform a service, and the obstruction is not only temporary in nature, then codex shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract. For obstructions of a temporary nature, the delivery or service performance deadlines shall be extended or postponed by the time period of the obstruction, plus a reasonable period for restarting.
(3) codex expressly reserves the right to accept bills of exchange or cheques. Bills of exchange and cheques are only accepted subject to the consent of codex, and only count as payment after being credited without reserva-tion. Costs for discounts and bills of exchange shall be paid by the customer.
(6) In case of justified doubts regarding the solvency or creditworthiness of the customer, e.g. in case of pay-ment default, sluggish payment methods etc., codex shall be entitled to demand prepayment or a suitable security deposit for the service to be rendered by the customer. If the customer is not ready for this then codex shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract after a reasonable extension period, and to demand compensation for damages due to non-performance.
(9) If the value added tax is not contained in codex’s billing based on statements of the customer (e.g. in case of “intra-Community supply” in the sense of §§ 4 No.1b in conjunction with 6a UStG (Umsatzsteuergesetz [German VAT ACT]) and codex subsequently is charged with a payable VAT amount (§ 6a IV UStG), the customer shall be obligated to pay the appropriate amount to codex. This duty exists irrespective of whether codex subse-quently has to pay value added tax, import sales tax, or comparable taxes domestically or abroad.
(1) If a defect in delivery or service items from codex exists, then codex shall be entitled, at its own choice, to either subsequent improvement, replacement delivery or credit. This does not apply to claims of recourse according to §§ 445a, 445b BGB, if the last contract in the supply chain is a contract for the sale of consumer goods.
(2) The restrictions in this Clause 12 do not apply to the liability of codex due to deliberate conduct, for guaran-teed quality features, for injury to life, limb or health, or under the Produkthaftungsgesetz [Product Liability Act].
(3) codex shall not be liable in the event of simple negligence on the part of its management bodies, legal representatives, employees or other agents, as long as breach of essential contractual duties is not at issue. Among the essential contractual duties are those to effect timely delivery of the delivery item, its freedom from legal as well as such material defects as compro-mise its functionality or suitability for use more than insignificantly, as well as duties related to consultation, protection and care which should make it possible for the customer to use the delivery item in accordance with the contract, or which aim to achieve protection of the life or limb of personnel of the customer or protec-tion of their property against significant damages.
(4) If codex is liable for damages in accordance with the preceding paragraph, then this liability shall be limited to damages which codex foresaw upon conclusion of the contract as a possible consequence of breach of contract, or which should have been anticipated when applying the proper business care. Indirect damages and subse-quent damages that are a consequence of defects in the delivery item can also only be replaced if such damages are typically to be expected in case of use of the delivery item according to its designation.
(5) In case of liability for simple negligence, the replace-ment obligation of codex for material damages and further property damages resulting from them is limited to an amount of EUR 15 million per damage event (corresponding to the current coverage amount of its product liability insurance policy or liability insurance policy), even in cases of a breach of essential contractual duties.
(1) In the cases of §§ 438 Para. 1 No. 2, 479 and 634 a Para. 1 No. 2 BGB, in case of deliberate intent, of fraudulent concealment of a defect, for claims for compensation of damages due to personal damages or the freedom of a person, for claims arising from the Product Liability Act and in case of gross negligent breach of contract, the legally required terms of limitation apply to the claims of the customer. This also applies to claims of recourse according to §§ 445a, 445b BGB, if the last contract of the supply chain is a contract for sale of consumer goods. In all other cases, the term of limitation for claims and rights due to defects in prod-ucts, works or services of codex, as well as the damages arising from them, lasts one year.
(8) If codex withdraws from the contract as a result of anti-contractual behaviour (enforcement event), on the part of the customer - especially in case of payment default -then codex shall be entitled to demand surren-der of the reserved goods.
(1) If the customer is a merchant as defined by the German Commercial Code (HGB), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive - also international - place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising directly or indirectly from the contrac-tual relationship shall be our registered office in Ulm, Germany. The same applies if the customer is an entrepreneur as defined in § 14 BGB. In all cases, however, we are also entitled to bring an action at the place of performance of the delivery obligation in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions or a prior individual agreement or at the general place of jurisdiction of the Customer. This shall not affect any overriding statutory provisions, in particular those relating to exclusive jurisdiction.
The customer acknowledges that codex stores data from the contractual relationship for the fulfilment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and reserves the right to transfer the data to third parties, such as insurance companies, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract.
