(3) If the liability for damages is excluded or limited towards us, this shall also apply with respect to the personal liability for damages of our employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
(1) We reserve the title in the purchase item until all payments under the business relationship are received. In case of any behaviour of the Buyer contrary to the contract, in particular in case of delay in payment, we shall be entitled to withdraw the purchase item. Our withdrawal of the purchase item shall constitute a recission from contract. After return of the purchase item, we shall be entitled to its exploitation; the proceeds of sale shall be credited against the Buyer’s liabilities, minus reasonable costs of exploitation.
(2) In case of current accounts, the retention of title serves as collateral for any balance claim.

VAT) of our receivables, which accrue to him from the resale towards his purchasers or third parties, regardless whether the sales item was re-sold without processing or after processing. The Buyer shall remain entitled to collect such receivables even after the assignment. Our entitlement to collect the receivables ourselves shall remain unaffected. However, we commit not to collect the receivables as long as the Buyer meets his payment obligations from the collected revenues, does not fall behind with his payments and in particular as long as no petition in settlement or insolvency proceedings has been filed or the Buyer discontinues his payments. However, if this is the case, we may demand that the Buyer informs us on the assigned claims and their debtors, provides all information required for collection, hands over the appropriate documents and informs the debtors (third parties) on the assignment.
(5) Any processing or transformation of the purchase item is always made on our behalf. If the purchase item is processed with other objects which do not belong to us, we shall acquire the co-ownership in the new object on a pro-rata basis of the value of the purchase item (invoiced total amount, incl. VAT) vs. the other processed objects at the time of processing. Incidentally, for the object formed by the processing, the same shall apply as for the purchase item delivered under retention of title.
(6) If the purchase item is inseparably combined with other objects not belonging to us, we shall acquire the co-ownership in the new object on a pro-rata basis of the value of the purchase item (invoiced total amount, incl. VAT) vs. the other combined objects at the time of the combination. If the combination is accomplished in a way that the object of the Buyer is to be considered the main object, it is agreed that the Buyer shall assign to us the co-ownership on a pro-rata basis. Thy Buyer shall keep safe for us the sole ownership or co-ownership accrued in such way.
(7) The Buyer shall also assign to us the claims for hedging our claims towards the Buyer, which accrue to any third party due to the combination of the purchase item with a real property.
(8) On the Buyer’s request, we commit to release the securities we are entitled to insofar, as the liquidable value of our securities exceeds the claims to be hedged by more than 20%; we shall be entitled to choose the securities to be released.
(1) If the Buyer is a registered trader, a legal entity under public law or under special fund of public law, our place of business shall be the place of jurisdiction; However, we shall be entitled to sue the Buyer also at the court of his residence. The same shall apply if the Buyer changes his place of residence or main residence to outside of the scope of the German civil justice, if this residence is unknown at the time of commencement of a suit, or if the Buyer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany.
(2) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall exclusively apply; the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall be excluded. Our business location Saarwellingen shall be place of performance, provided that nothing else is stated in the order confirmation.
