a) The offers of GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH are made without obligation, unless stated otherwise. All agreements between the parties are only effective after written confirmation by GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH.

a) The prices are quoted ex works and without packaging, plus the respectively valid value added tax.
b)	If there are more than 4 months between contract conclusion and delivery without the responsibility of GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH, GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH may increase the price, taking into account material, labor and other incidental costs.

§ 4 Shipping and transfer of risk
a) In the absence of deviating agreements, place of performance is the domicile of GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH.
b) The risk passes to the buyer as soon as GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH has handed over the goods to the buyer. If the goods are shipped at the request of the buyer, the risk passes to the buyer as soon as the seller has handed over the goods to the sender. Shipping is always uninsured and on account of the customer.
c) In the absence of deviating agreements, GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH determines the mode of dispatch at its discretion. At the request of the customer, the goods are insured by GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH against transport damage in the amount of the agreed price.
a) The invoices of GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH are to be paid within 30 days from the invoice date. However, GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH can make the delivery dependent on immediate payment.
b) In the event of culpable breach of the payment deadline pursuant to a), GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH shall be entitled to interest in the amount of 9 percentage points above the applicable base interest rate, without prejudice to possible further claims.

The acceptance of bills of exchange or checks is only for the sake of payment. The credit will only be made under customary conditions. For bills of exchange, GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH calculates the bank-standard discount and collection fees. A guarantee for timely collection or for timely protest is not given by GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH.
d) In the event that a bill of exchange or check is not redeemed on time, that there is a delay in payment or other circumstances occur to the customer, which in the opinion of GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH no longer justify a time for payment allowed, GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH has the right to make the complete claim payable, even if bills of exchange or checks have been given.
e) A right of retention of the customer is excluded. Offsetting is only permitted if the counter claim of GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH has been acknowledged in written form.
a) GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH retains ownership on all goods delivered until all invoices including all ancillary receivables from the purchaser’s business relations with GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH are paid in full by the purchaser. This also applies if individual claims, or all claims, have been included in an ongoing invoice and the balance has been struck or approved (current account).
b) The customer is entitled to process and sell the goods owned by GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH as part of its properly managed business operations. He is not authorized to dispose of the goods in any other way, such as pledging or transfer by way of security.

d) The extended retention of title shall also apply through a check / bill of exchange procedure which may have been carried out and shall not expire. The retention of title shall only be considered extinguished upon redemption of the bill of exchange.
§ 7 Delivery periods
a) Since GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH is not the manufacturer of the products it distributes, delivery times can only be specified for the goods in stock. For all goods that are not in stock and must be ordered from the manufacturer, GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH only states “estimated delivery dates”. Their non-compliance does not trigger any claims for damages of the customer against GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH, unless the non-compliance is due to a fault of GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH. In this case the regulation of § 10 applies. GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH is obligated to notify the customer in writing of any expected delays in delivery times.
b) If a projected delivery period is delayed to a for the purchaser unreasonable degree, the purchaser shall have the right to set a suitable(min. 3 weeks) follow-up period for GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH and to withdraw in part or completely from the purchasing contract after this period has passed without results. Any other claims of the ordering party shall be excluded, unless the failure to comply with the expected delivery date is based on gross negligence or intent or the failure to comply with the expected delivery date represents a cardinal obligation and this has been at least negligently violated.
c) After exceeding the expected delivery date of more than eight weeks by GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH, both parties have the right to withdraw from the contract.
d) In the case of blanket contracts, GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH has the right to immediately procure the material for the entire order and manufacture the requested order quantity.

This section shall apply correspondingly for when GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH procures goods from third parties.
e) For agreements including regular deliveries GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH shall be given call-off purchase orders and allocations with ample time for about the same monthly quantities. If the release order or allocation is not made on time, then GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH is entitled, after setting a reasonable extension period, to dispose the goods and to deliver them or to conclusively refuse the fulfillment of the residual part of the deal and demand compensation.
f) If GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH defaults in performance or delivery or if performance or delivery becomes impossible for whatever reason, the customer shall be entitled to claim for damages only in accordance with the present General Terms and Conditions.
g) Partial deliveries shall be permitted; each delivery shall be considered as its own business transaction.
h) Also in cases of the assumption of costs for tools or other production means, the customer does not acquire ownership or co-ownership of these objects, unless otherwise stipulated.
§ 8 Returns of goods
a) Generally already sold, defect free goods cannot be returned.
b) Any deviation from this requires the written consent of GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH. The value of the returned goods must be individually agreed. Even with unused, undamaged and originally packed goods, the customer is charged an amount of 5% of the value of the goods, but at least € 25.00 for administrative expenses.

b) The customer must check the goods immediately after receipt for completeness and proper condition.

c) The GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH assumes warranty for defects in equipment and systems for a period of 24 months; as far as the customer proves that the defects complained of were not caused by improper installation or use. The warranty of is made according to GTE Industrieelektronik Gmbh’s choice in the form of repair or replacement.
d) If the rework is impossible or seriously or finally refused, or if it has not occurred within a reasonable period of time or if further rework is not reasonable after the failure of a first rework, the customer can withdraw from the contract or reduce the reimbursement, without prejudice to any claims for damages.
e) For measuring devices, particularly force gauges and slide measuring devices, GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH offers a warranty over 12 months. If the first maintenance and calibration takes place at the property of GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH within the first 12 months, the warranty shall be extended to a total of 24 months.
