In the case of the orderer’s contrary to the contract behaviour, in particular in the case of payment default, we are entitled to take back the goods after an appropriate prescribed period. In taking back the goods, we do not withdraw from the contract, unless we had declared this in writing. In the case of the goods being claimed back by warrant of distress, this is always a withdrawal from the contract. We are entitled to take back the goods for their utilization, the earnings from this utilization are to be charged to the liabilities of the orderer – less appropriate utilization costs.

If maintenance or inspection work is required, the orderer must carry these out at his own expense and in due course.
(3) In cases of distress or intervention of third parties, the orderer has to refer to our rights and has to inform us in writing immediately, that we can take legal action according to §771 ZPO.

In the case of a consisting current account relationship, the demand already assigned by the orderer, refers also to the recognized balance and in the case of insolvency of the buyer to the existing causal balance. The orderer is still authorized to collect the demand, even after the assignment. Our authorisation to collect the demand ourselves, is untouched by this. We are committed not to collect the demand, as long as the orderer meets his payments obligation from the taken earnings, does not get into default of payment and particularly does not apply for opening of a bankruptcy- settlement or insolvency case, or that no suspension of payment has occured. Should this be the case, we can demand from the orderer to make known to us all assigned demands and their debtors, that he informs us of all relevant details for collection, hands over the relevant documents and informs the debtors (third parties) of the assignment.
(5) The fabrication or changing of the goods through the orderer is always carried out for us. If the goods are treated with other items not belonging to us, we obtain co-ownership for the new matter in relation of the value of the goods (invoice total, including VAT) to the other fabricated items at the time of fabrication. Incidentally, the same applies for the items developed through fabrication as to the goods delivered conditionally.
(6) Are the goods mixed inseparably with items not belonging to us, we obtain co-ownership for the new matter in the relation of the value of the goods (invoice total, including VAT) to the other fabricated items at the time of mixing.
