The following general terms and conditions of business shall apply exclusively to all transactions and agreements, even if their incorporation is not expressly and separately agreed, and shall prevail over any similar or conflicting terms and conditions of the customer.
§ 3 Delivery; Samples; Insurance
(4) Minor differences in colour as well as deliveries of higher and lower quantities up to 10% are no defects.
(5) We shall be entitled to insure the delivery at the expense of the customer against theft and fire, water, or other damage.
(1) Notice of Defects
(b) Customers who are non-mercantile enterprises must report obvious defects within three weeks of delivery and non-obvious defects within one year from delivery in writing; otherwise, all warranty claims shall be excluded.
(c) For customers who are consumers the requirement under (b) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
(2) Rights of the Customer
Insofar as the requirements of our warranty for defects are met, the customer shall be entitled to claims as follows:
(a) For customers who are merchants or non-mercantile enterprises, our obligation shall be limited initially to supplementary performance free of charge. Should said supplementary performance ultimately be unsuccessful, the customer shall be entitled to withdraw from the agreement or to demand a reduction in the purchase price. This limitation of the right of cancellation shall apply only with respect to defects and not to other breaches of duty. The customer’s claim for damages shall be excluded to the extent that our liability per § 6 of these terms and conditions has been effectively limited. The rights of the customer shall be further excluded insofar as these rights do not pertain to claims that have been acknowledged by us or that have become res judicata. With respect to significant third-party products, our liability shall be limited to the assignment of claims against the supplier of the thirdparty products provided that this leads to the indemnification of the customer. In other respects, the assertion of claims against us shall be dependent on the supplier being held legally liable prior thereto.
(b) For customers who are consumers, we shall be liable in accordance with legal regulations. The customer’s claim for damages shall be excluded to the extent that our liability per § 6 of these terms and conditions has been effectively limited.
a) For customers who are merchants or non-mercantile enterprises, the warranty rights shall expire one year after delivery. For customers who are consumers, the warranty rights shall expire two years after delivery for new articles, and one year after delivery for used items.
b) The warranty rights on purchased used machines purchased shall expire 6 months after delivery for customers who are merchants or non-mercantile enterprises and for customers who are consumers.
§ 5 Arbitration
Disputes between us and a customer who is a merchant or non-mercantile enterprise involving a reported defect shall be decided by binding arbitration excluding recourse to the courts. Should no agreement be reached as to the person of the arbitrator, both parties shall be entitled to request the Stuttgart Chamber of Industry and Commerce to appoint an arbitrator, whereby said appointment shall be binding for both parties.
(a) Gross negligence of our management
(b) Gross negligence of our servants or agents who are not management, limited to the typical and foreseeable damages
(2) In deviation from section (1), we shall be liable in accordance with legal regulations in cases where a breach of duty for which we are responsible leads to loss of life or bodily injury or to an impairment of health.
§ 7 Terms of Payment; Retention; Setoff; Insolvency of the Customer
(1) Payments by check shall be payable on the value date of the credit. The customer’s right of offset shall be excluded except with respect to claims that have been acknowledged by us or have become res judicata. Furthermore, the right of retention shall be excluded for customers who are merchants or non-mercantile enterprises except claims that have been acknowledged by us or have become res judicata.
§ 8 Collateral
Should the customer be in default on a payment or should the financial situation of the customer have deteriorated substantially subsequent to contract completion, we shall be entitled to demand that the customer provide collateral in accordance with bank practices for the total amount of our claims within a fixed time limit. Should the customer fail to provide collateral within the specified period, the entire debt shall become due and payable.
§ 9 Damages for Non-Performance
(2) The customer shall be authorized to sell the goods under retention in the ordinary course of business, whereby all claims arising from the resale shall be assigned to us prior thereto.
§ 11 Applicable Law and Legal Jurisdiction
(1) These terms and conditions and any agreements entered into hereunder shall be subject to German law excluding the Uniform Law on the International Sale of Goods.
(2) Stuttgart shall be the venue for all disputes arising from this agreement, provided that the customer is a merchant, a legal entity, person, or separate estate governed by public law, or is domiciled outside the Federal Republic of Germany at contract completion. Should any provisions of an agreement entered into between us and the supplier be invalid, the remaining provisions of the agreement shall remain unaffected thereby. The invalid provision shall be replaced by another provision that accomplishes, to the extent legally possible, the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision
