a) The GTC shall apply to all future business relations in the version applicable upon conclusion of the agreement, even if they have not been explicitly agreed again.
b) Any deviating, contradictory or supplementary General Terms and Conditions shall not become an integral part of the contract, even if the parties hereto are aware of them, unless expressly agreed in writing.
§ 2 Offers / supplementary agreements
a) Our offers are non-binding unless the offer contains a binding period.
b) If any of our orders should deviate from the offer, these shall be regarded as approved by the principal unless contradicted in writing immediately.
c) Your order represents a binding offer to conclude a purchase agreement. A purchase agreement is concluded if you receive a letter of acceptance from us or if we send the product to you. If you do not receive a letter of acceptance or delivery from us within seven days, the offer to conclude an agreement shall be regarded as having been rejected.
d) The order data will be archived. You can notify us of changes to your personal data at any time.
a) Our deliveries shall take place ex works or warehouse to the delivery address given by you using a shipping company that we select and commission.
b) A+B shall bear the risk of the accidental loss of the goods up until delivery by the shipping company. If the customer is not a consumer within the meaning of § 13 German Civil Code (BGB), the following shall apply: The risk shall pass to the customer upon transfer of the goods to the shipping company. A+B shall be deemed to have discharged its obligations to perform upon delivery of the goods to the shipping company. Carriage of the goods shall take place at the customer's risk.
c) It shall be incumbent upon the customer to furnish proof of damages in transit. To this end, the goods or its packaging must be inspected on delivery for possible damages, e.g. through impacts, falls, compression or dampness, and any such damage must be confirmed by the carrier employed by the shipping company and notified to. This shall not affect the customer's statutory rights.
d) Unless otherwise agreed, delivery dates or delivery deadlines shall be non-binding and subject to confirmation. If a previously agreed binding delivery date or a bindingly agreed delivery deadline cannot be kept, we shall only be liable for damages in the event of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
e) Compliance with our delivery obligations shall depend on the due and timely fulfilment of your obligations. If it should transpire that you are unable to pay for the goods, we shall be released from any obligation to deliver and may terminate the purchase agreement.
f) If the purchased goods are not or no longer produced by the manufacturer or are no longer available following conclusion of the purchase agreement and the fulfilment of our contractual obligations is thus rendered impossible or for other grounds that were not foreseeable upon conclusion of the agreement and were not caused by us, we shall be entitled to not render the service as promised, to terminate the agreement and to refund any payments made to date. This shall not affect the customer's statutory rights.
a) The list prices applicable at the time of the order shall apply for all goods and services. Our prices are quoted in euros inclusive of the currently applicable VAT, plus forwarding costs.
b) The corresponding forwarding costs can be found in our information on payment and forwarding.
c) Payment of the total amount shall take place pursuant to the payment terms agreed in the order.
d) The buyer shall only be entitled to offset payments against counterclaims, if such counterclaims are undisputed or have been legally established before a court of law.
§ 5 Warranty, guarantee, liability
a) A+B shall assume liability for the goods delivered and services rendered within the scope of the statutory provisions. The warranty period for new goods shall be 24 months commencing from the passing of risk. This period is a period of limitation and shall also apply to compensation of consequential damages caused by a defect, provided that no claims in tort are asserted.
b) The warranty period for goods expressly labelled as used shall be 12 months commencing from the passing of risk.
c) In the event of a defect, we shall, at the customer's option, be entitled to render subsequent performance by carrying out a repair or by supplying a replacement. We shall be entitled however to refuse the type of subsequent performance chosen by the customer if this is only possible at unreasonable expense and the other form of subsequent performance does not involve any considerable disadvantages for the consumer.
d) If we are unwilling or unable to render subsequent performance, or should such be delayed beyond a reasonable period due to reasons for which we are responsible or should the subsequent performance fail in any other way, you shall be entitled to either withdraw from the agreement or demand a reasonable reduction of the purchase price. This shall not affect the customer's right to assert claims for damages.
e) A+B shall only be liable for damages other than loss of life, physical injury or damage to health if these are attributable to wilful misconduct or gross negligence or a culpable breach of a material contractual obligation on the part of A+B or its vicarious agents. Any liability for damages going beyond this is excluded. This shall not affect any precontractual liability or liability under the provisions of the German Product Liability Act.
f) Manufacturer's guarantees constitute a separate legal relationship between the customer and the manufacturer. Guarantee claims can be asserted directly against the guarantor. This shall not affect the customer's warranty rights.
g) If the customer is not a consumer within the meaning of § 13 German Civil Code (BGB), the following shall apply: The warranty period shall be 1 year. Goods expressly labelled as used shall be excluded from the warranty. This shall not affect §§ 377, 378 German Commercial Code (HGB).
h) Customers that are not consumers within the meaning of § 13 German Civil Code (BGB) must inspect the delivered products for contractual conformity within three days of receipt and report any recognizable defects without delay. Otherwise, the delivered products shall be regarded as approved.
If the consumer exercises his right of revocation pursuant to Section 7 of the GTC, he shall bear the costs of the return if the goods delivered correspond to those ordered and the price of the goods to be returned does not exceed an amount of € 40.00 or, if the price of the goods is higher, if the consumer has not yet paid the consideration or a contractually agreed instalment at the time of the revocation.
If the customer is not a consumer within the meaning of § 13 German Civil Code (BGB), he shall not have a right of revocation pursuant to § 312d BGB in conjunction with §§ 355, 356 BGB.
You may withdraw your contractual acceptance in writing (e.g. by letter, fax or e-mail) within two weeks without stating grounds, or – if the item is placed at your disposal prior to the expiry of this period – by returning the item. The period shall commence upon receipt of this notification in text form, however not before delivery of the goods to the consignee (in the case of recurring deliveries of similar goods, not before delivery of the first part delivery), nor before fulfilment of our statutory duties to furnish information pursuant to 312c Para. 2 German Civil Code (BGB) in conjunction with § 1 Paras. 1, 2 and 4 of the Information Duties set out therein (BGB-InfoV) as well as our duties pursuant to § 312e Para. 1 Cl. 1 BGB in conjunction with § 3 BGB-InfoV. To comply with the deadline for revocation, timely dispatch of the revocation or the item shall suffice. Notice of revocation must be sent to:
In the event of an effective revocation, any payments received by either party must be returned and where applicable any benefits received (e.g. from interest) are to be surrendered. If you are unable or only partly able to return the product/service received or are only able to return it in a deteriorated condition, you may where necessary be under obligation to pay us compensation. This shall not apply if the deterioration of the goods is exclusively attributable to their examination - as would have been possible for you in a shop. For the rest, you may avoid any duty to provide compensation for any deterioration of the goods caused by the intended use, by not using the goods as your own property and refraining from all actions that may affect its value. Goods capable of being sent by parcel post should be returned to us at our expense and risk. The cost of returning the goods shall be for your account if the delivered goods correspond to those ordered and the price of the goods to be returned does not exceed € 40.00 or, if the price of the goods is higher, if you have not yet paid the consideration or a contractually agreed instalment at the time of the revocation. Otherwise, returns shall be free of charge for you. Goods that are not suitable for consignment by parcel post shall be collected from you. Obligations to refund payments must be met within 30 days. The deadline shall commence for you on the date you sent the notice of revocation and for us, following its receipt.
No right of revocation shall exist for:
Goods made to customer specifications or that are clearly customised to personal requirements, or due to their nature are not suitable for return, or may deteriorate rapidly, or may exceed their sell-by-date if shipped and in the case of the delivery of sealed audio and video recordings if unsealed by the customer.
Special notes: Your right of revocation expires early, if your contracting party has started its services before the end of the revocation term with your explicit agreement or if you have arranged this yourself.

This shall not apply if the impairment was caused by A+B Solutions GmbH.
a) The prices (daily or hourly rates) can be agreed either as a binding fixed price or as a suggested price charged by the hour.

b) The calculation of expenses (overnight stays in hotels, travel costs and daily allowance) shall be agreed separately with the principal. The basis for this is the applicable guidelines of A+B Solutions GmbH as amended from time to time.
c) Billing for orders takes place in instalments, which are to be agreed separately, on the basis of the progress of the deliveries.

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply.

The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are excluded.
