Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 2', '§ 8', '§ 5', '§ 6', '§ 8', '§ 8', '§ 8', '§ 9', '§ 10', '§ 1']

(6) Any reference to the applicability of statutory provisions shall be for clarification only. Consequently, whether with or without such clarification, the statutory provisions shall apply except as directly modified or expressly contracted out in these Standard Terms. § 2 Conclusion and Performance of Contract (1) Information we provide about our goods shall not be considered an offer in the legal sense but shall be non-binding and subject to change. This shall also hold if we have provided the Customer with catalogues, technical documentation (for example drawings, layouts, calculations, cost estimates, references to DIN standards), other product descriptions or documentation – whether in electronic or non-electronic form. (2) The ordering of goods by the Customer shall be considered a binding offer for a contract.
(3) If we cannot meet binding times for delivery for reasons for which we are not responsible (non-availability of performance), we will inform the Customer without undue delay, notifying the expected new time for delivery. For purposes of the foregoing, an event of non-availability of performance for which we are not responsible shall include, without limitation, our own late supply by our vendor if we have entered into a congruent hedging transaction (i.e., there exists a delivery contract between us and our vendor on the date of the conclusion of the purchase contract with the Customer, which will, under normal circumstances, enable us to serve the Customer with the same certainty that has been promised to us), provided that we have not furnished an additional guarantee regarding the timely delivery. Our statutory rights of rescission and cancellation and the statutory provisions regarding the unwinding of a contract if the claim for performance is excluded (e.g., if performance or rectification is either impossible or cannot reasonably be required of us), shall remain unaffected. The Customer’s rights of rescission and cancellation under § 8 of these Standard Terms shall remain unaffected as well. (4) The statutory provisions shall apply as to the occurrence of default in delivery on our side.
(4) If the Customer is in default of acceptance or fails to perform an act of assistance for reasons for which the Customer is responsible or if delivery by us is delayed for other reasons for which the Customer is responsible, we have the right to claim compensation for the resulting damage including any additional costs (e.g., storage costs). § 5 Prices and Terms of Payment
(1) We reserve our title to the delivered goods up until all of our current and future claims under the contract and under a standing business relationship between us and the Customer (secured claims) are fully paid. (2) Until the secured claims are paid in full, no goods under reservation of title may be pledged to third parties or transferred by way of security. In the case of seizure or other interferences, the Customer must identity our title to the goods to the executing official or to other third parties. The Customer shall give us instant written notice of any third-party interference with the goods owned by us. (3) The Customer may resell and/or process any goods under reservation of title in the course of ordinary business. In this case, the following provisions shall apply. (a) Our reservation of title shall extend to the full value of any products created through processing of or combination with or connection to our goods, and we shall be considered the producer of the newly created products. If a third party retains title after such processing, combination or connection of the goods, we shall hold joint title relative to the invoice values of the goods processed, combined or connected. In all other respects, the newly created products shall be subject to the same provisions as the goods delivered under reservation of title. (b) The Customer hereby assigns to us by way of security, and we accept the assignment of, any claims against third parties that arise by reselling the goods or the newly created product, either wholly or at the amount of our possible fraction of title pursuant to the foregoing paragraph. The duties of the Customer set forth in § 6 paragraph 2 shall also apply regarding the claims assigned. (c) The Customer remains authorized to collect the claim in addition to us. We agree that we will not collect the claim providing that the Customer meets its payment obligations towards us, does not get into default and no request for opening of insolvency proceedings is been filed and no other deficiency regarding the Customer’s solvency arises. If any of these conditions does occur, we may request that the Customer disclose the assigned claims as well as the corresponding debtors to us and provide us with all information required for collection, including handing over all relevant documentation and notifies the debtors (third parties) of the assignment. In this event, we reserve the rights to rescind the Customer’s authorisation to collect the claim and to disclose the assignment to third parties. (4) Insofar as the realisable value of the security exceeds our claims by more than 10%, we will, at the Customer’s request, release such securities as we choose at our discretion.
§ 8 Other Liability (1) We shall be liable for damages without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, as well as for fraudulent non-disclosure of defects and for breach of guarantees. In case of a limited guarantee, however, we shall only be liable as set forth in said guarantee.
(2) Subject to the provisions in § 8 paragraph 1, our liability shall be limited to compensation for the foreseeable, typical damage in the case of a simple negligent breach of a material contractual obligation, i.e., an obligation which if performed renders the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on compliance with which the other party to the contract therefore commonly relies and may reasonably rely. (3) In all other respects, our liability per damage event shall be limited to the greater of 1.5 times the net price of the affected performances or a maximum sum of EUR 1,500,000. However, our liability for all damages arising from each contract shall be limited in the aggregate to the greater of 1.5 times the net price of all performances subject to said contract or a maximum sum of EUR 3,000,000.00. (4) In all other cases, our liability under any theory of law shall be excluded.
(6) The provisions contained in § 8 paragraph 1 to 5 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the liability of the owner, the bodies, executives, staff or other vicarious agents of Halfen. (7) The Customer may not rescind or cancel the contract for a breach of an obligation other than a breach that comprises a defect unless we are responsible for this breach of an obligation.
(8) In all other respects, the statutory prerequisites and legal consequences shall apply. § 9 Statute of Limitations
(1) In derogation from Section 438 paragraph 1 no. 3 BGB, the general period of limitation for claims attaching to defects in material or title for used goods shall be one year from delivery. (2) In all other cases, the statutory periods of limitations shall apply (Sections 438, 479, 634a BGB). (3) The foregoing periods of limitation under the law of purchase and sale shall also apply to contractual and non-contractual damage claims of the Customer that are due to a defect in the goods or services unless the application of the standard statutory period of limitation (Sections 195, 199 BGB) would individually result in a shorter period of limitation. (4) The periods of limitation under the German Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected in all events. (5) In all other respects, claims for damages by the Customer shall be governed exclusively by the statutory periods of limitation. § 10 Applicable Law and Place of Jurisdiction
(1) These Standard Terms and any contractual relations between us and the Customer that fall under these Standard Terms pursuant to its § 1 paragraph 2 shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Provisions on the conflict of laws and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall be excluded. (2) If the Customer is a merchant (Kaufmann) within the meaning of the German Commercial Code, a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive – national or international – place of jurisdiction for any controversies resulting from or related to the contractual relationship shall be Düsseldorf. However, we reserve the right to bring an action at the Customer’s general place of jurisdiction. [As revised in September 2012]
