§ 2 Applicability of the Terms and Conditions
1. The transactions of ANZAPLAN GmbH listed under § 1 are carried out exclusively on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions. They shall also apply to all future business relationships without the need for this to be expressly agreed upon. Other Terms and Conditions, in particular those of the contractual partner shall not be valid, even if ANZAPLAN GmbH does not expressly reject them or if delivery is effected in the knowledge of said conflicting terms without expressing opposition hereto.
2. Deviations from these General Terms and Conditions are only effective if confirmed in writing by ANZAPLAN GmbH. Oral agreements have no standing. Any agreements made on behalf of ANZAPLAN GmbH by its representatives must be confirmed in writing by ANZAPLAN GmbH.
§ 3 Offers and Conlusion of Contract
1. Offers issued by ANZAPLAN GmbH are not binding. Declarations of acceptance and all orders become legally binding only after confirmation in writing or by facsimile by ANZAPLAN GmbH. The same applies to amendments, modifications or subsidiary agreements.
2. Statements and performance specifications are only binding insofar as this is expressly agreed in writing by the parties. Statements in catalogues, leaflets, circular letters, advertising, illustrations and price lists, in particular those regarding weight, dimensions, volumetric capacity and physical attributes are not binding between the parties unless they are subject to an explicit contractual agreement between the parties.
3. ANZAPLAN GmbH can accept an offer which it receives within the next 2 weeks which follow.
1. Development orders which the contractual partner issues to ANZAPLAN GmbH do not include an obligation on the part of ANZAPLAN GmbH to bring about a certain contracted result. Development orders in this context are in particular orders whereby the contractual partner specifies to ANZAPLAN GmbH a required product standard or product parameter which he requests and for which ANZAPLAN GmbH is to develop a technical operation or process, in order to achieve the desired product standard or product parameter (e.g. processing of a partlyfinished product).
2. As a result of the fact that ANZAPLAN GmbH’s contractual partner only provides raw materials or natural products with a particular intended end result, ANZAPLAN GmbH can neither be held liable for a particular outcome with regard to the product standards or product parameters mentioned under 1. and desired by the other party nor guarantee a particular result.
3. Insofar as ANZAPLAN GmbH undertakes scientific project management at the contractual partner’s premises or on his behalf, the activities of ANZAPLAN GmbH will be of an advisory nature only. ANZAPLAN GmbH can neither be held liable for a particular outcome in this regard nor guarantee a certain result.
4. For the Analysis sector, ANZAPLAN GmbH shall - under the contract with the contractual partner - provide a statement of expertise.

§ 5 Methodology
ANZAPLAN GmbH shall carry out the analyses in accordance with recognised technological principles. The contractual partner has no claim on the analysis specifications or test procedures developed by ANZAPLAN GmbH. Something else only applies should ANZAPLAN GmbH be liable for the instructions or processes as a performance item.
§ 6 Dangerous Samples
If the samples or materials provided to ANZAPLAN GmbH contain special risks or dangers (e.g. explosive, radioactive, carcinogenic or other) the contractual partner must draw attention to the risks and dangers by means of appropriate labelling of the samples and materials and, in addition, making a written note in the order.
§ 7 Dates and Terms
1. The dates and terms stated by ANZAPLAN GmbH shall be non-binding, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
2. Dates for completion of the transaction start from the conclusion of the contract, not, however, before receipt and clarification of all necessary materials and documentation or granting of any official licenses.
2a. Should the contractual partner be in acceptance default or culpably infringe other participatory rights, then ANZAPLAN GmbH is entitled to demand compensation for the damage that has arisen inclusive of any additional expenditure. The right to further-reaching claims remains intact.
2b. Given that the requirements of Paragraph 3 are on hand, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the performance passes over to the contractual partner at the time when he is in default in acceptance.

Moreover, he is only entitled to exercise a right of retention given that his counter claim is based on the same contractual relationship. The contractual partner agrees that ANZAPLAN GmbH may offset accounts receivable against accounts payable.
4a. If the contractual partner is in default with an instalment, then ANZAPLAN GmbH is entitled to declare the entire account receivables as being immediately due and payable.
4b. Should the contractual partner make false statements about his financial situation or should his financial circumstances deteriorate following conclusion of contract to the extent that his credit standing - on the basis of objective, banklike aspects – has substantially worsened and realisation of ANZAPLAN GmbH account receivables is very much at risk, then ANZAPLAN GmbH is entitled to declare the rest of the outstanding payment obligations as being immediately due and payable. This also applies to the acceptance of bills of exchange and cheques.
