Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 286', '§ 14', '§ 38', '§ 38', '§ 38', 'Art. 25']

Validity for the current purchase agreement and future sales transactions
According to the present purchase agreement between INGENERON and yourself (hereinafter: Purchaser), the purchase of certain regenerative cell processing devices (hereinafter: Devices) has been agreed. Purchaser and INGENERON hereby agree that the present General Terms and Conditions of Business become an integral part of the purchase agreement and of all recurring sales transactions between Purchaser and INGENERON.
All payments shall be due according to the payment terms set in to the present purchase agreement. All amounts must be paid upon maturity. Reference is made to the fact that arrears automatically commence upon expiry of 30 days after maturity and receipt of the invoice pursuant to § 286 subsection 3 German Civil Code. Purchaser shall reimburse INGENERON for all and any damage from default, including default-induced attorneys’ costs, and also default interest.
Retention of title; price risk
INGENERON reserves title to Devices until complete payment of the purchase price. Purchaser shall not be entitled to sell, to rent, to pledge or in any other way to assign Devices or a share in Devices before complete payment of the purchase price.
Despite retention of title, the price risk shall pass to Purchaser upon delivery of Devices, i.e. Purchaser remains obliged to pay the purchase price even in the event of destruction of Devices before passage of ownership.
At all times, Purchaser shall be responsible for all aspects of patients’ provisions and treatment. This shall also apply, inter alia, to:
diagnosis of patients and prescription of a regenerative cell treatment;
obtaining the necessary approvals from patients, statutory representatives, owners (with a view to their animals) or other parties;
preparation of the patients and animals for the treatment, including a suitable immobilisation and/or arrestment of movement of animals, in order to avoid uncontrolled kicking, unrest, suffering or pain;
provision of all treatments, including the regenerative cell treatment with Devices forming the subject matter of the agreement, as well as emergency treatment;
provision of adequately trained and licensed employees in order to operate Devices and to guarantee proper treatment of the patients; and
provision of all other necessary products or services, in order to guarantee proper and secure treatment of the patients.
PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT DEVICES COMPRISE COMPLEX ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES. IF DEVICES ARE NOT USED PROPERLY, THIS MAY LEAD TO INJURIES AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. AS SUCH, PURCHASER IS COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT DEVICES ARE USED IN A SAFE AND PROPER WAY BY PROPERLY TRAINED AND LICENSED PERSONS AND WITH COMPLETE COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE PROVIDED BY INGENERON. PURCHASER USES DEVICES AT ITS OWN RISK.
Guarantee; notification duty; exclusion of warranty
For a period of twelve months after delivery, INGENERON assumes a guarantee for the fact the Devices are free of defects in materials and in their processing and that they function in harmony with INGENERON’s specifications. This assumption of guarantee only applies towards Purchaser from the present purchase agreement and is non-transferable.
Purchaser shall be obliged to notify INGENERON in writing of each defect or damage within 30 days of obtaining knowledge or negligent failure to obtain knowledge. If Purchaser fails to fulfil the notification duty in good time, its warranty rights shall expire (preclusive period). If Purchaser is not an entrepreneur in the sense of § 14 German Civil Code, public-law entity or public-law fund, this preclusive period shall only apply to obvious defects.
Further, warranty rights (for damages arising from the following circumstances) have been ruled out if:
a change, for example use of an additional part or modification of Devices, has not been authorized in writing by INGENERON in advance and this change disturbs the normal and satisfactory operation or maintenance;
the instructions for use or specifications of the surroundings for Devices from INGENERON are not complied;
accessories for Devices which have not been produced by INGENERON are used;
Devices or a part of the same, including the consumables, are repaired, maintained or modernized by a party other than INGENERON;
a breach of due care, improper use, a failure of the electricity supply or the air-conditioning or of the moisture regulation exists.
The exclusion of warranty shall not apply to damage from an injury to life, limb or health based on a deliberate or negligent breach of duties by INGENERON or a statutory representative or vicarious agent of INGENERON and also to damage based on a breach of cardinal contractual duties or a deliberate or grossly negligent breach of other duties by INGENERON or a statutory representative or vicarious agent of INGENERON. Purchaser’s right to terminate the contract in the event of a breach of duties for which INGENERON is answerable shall remain unaffected.
Each party shall be obliged to do everything necessary in order to comply with laws, directives, orders and provisions on a national, state and communal level.
If delivery or punctual delivery of Devices is not possible for INGENERON due to unexpected, external and out-of-the-ordinary incidents (force majeure), such as natural catastrophes, fires, unrests, commercial blockades or strikes, said delay or non-performance shall not portray a breach of duties and the delivery time shall be extended accordingly or rescheduled.
All confidential information and trade secrets of INGENERON (including pricing and procurement terms) which are disclosed or notified to Purchaser shall remain property of INGENERON. For a period of five (5) years from the date of disclosure to Purchaser, the latter may not disclose such confidential information to third parties or use it in any way other than that expressly authorized in writing by INGENERON. INGENERON reserves all rights to intellectual property disclosed to Purchaser in connection with Devices at any time.
The place of jurisdiction for “inner-German” disputes from the present legal relationship, i.e. legal disputes without reference to a country other than Germany, shall be Munich to the extent that Purchaser is a merchant, public-law entity or public-law fund in the sense of § 38 subsection 1 German Code of Civil Proceedings or the residence or customary abode of the party to be sued is not known at the time of the initiation of proceedings (§ 38 sub-section 3 no. 2 German Code of Civil Proceedings).
The place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes from the present legal relationship with a reference to another member state of the European Union or a third country shall exclusively be Munich to the extent that Purchaser is a merchant, public-law entity or public-law fund in the sense of § 38 subsection 1 German Code of Civil Proceedings, at least one of the contracting parties does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the party to be sued moves its residence or customary abode outside the scope of application of the German Code of Civil Proceedings after conclusion of the contract or the residence of the party to be sued is not known. This clause shall apply independent of the effectivity of the agreement according to Art. 25 subsection 5 Brussels I Regulation.
The contractual relations between the contracting parties shall be governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The application of UN purchase law has been ruled out.
All notifications on the basis of the present agreement must be made in writing. Written declarations of intention shall be deemed received on the day on which they are handed over personally or successfully transmitted by fax. If the notification is delivered with adequate franking by a recognized overnight delivery service, for example UPS, the declaration shall be deemed received on the following working day. If the declaration is dispatched as recorded delivery with return slip or as a simple letter with sufficient franking to the address stated in the purchase agreement, it shall be deemed received on the third working day.
In the event of a single waiver of one of the contractual terms by one of the parties, the condition in question shall nevertheless remain binding for subsequent cases. Declarations of waiver shall require written form, otherwise they shall not be binding. The present agreement may only be modified or supplemented in a form signed in writing by both parties. The effectivity of the agreement shall not be affected by the invalidity of an individual contractual term. The titles contained in the present agreement shall exclusively serve the parties’ benefit and shall not be included in the interpretation of the agreement.
Neither party may assign its rights from the present agreement without the prior consent of the other party. An exception shall be formed by an assignment to a parent company, to an affiliated company or to companies connected to either of the contracting parties in a similar way. INGENERON shall be entitled to grant sublicenses or to forward any of its contractual duties. If there is no deviating written agreement with INGENERON before an assignment by Purchaser, Purchaser shall remain liable for all duties assigned by it, i.e. the original Purchaser shall still be liable if the cessionary to whom assignment was made fails to comply with its performance duty. The present agreement shall be binding for the contracting parties, their successors in title and also for parties to whom a claim has effectively been assigned.
With a view to certain devices, a guarantee from the original manufacturer exists. The manufacturer’s guarantees may entail claims exceeding INGENERON’s liability. INGENERON assumes no guarantee and makes no claims in this regard. If you wish to return a device pursuant to a manufacturer’s guarantee due to a defect, please get in touch with INGENERON in order to inquire the manufacturer’s address or telephone number and to get in touch with the manufacturer directly. All guarantee services or technical support provided for Devices on the basis of a manufacturer’s guarantee shall be provided by the manufacturer, not by INGENERON. For support or other information, please get in touch with INGENERON or directly with the manufacturer.
INGENERON shall provide Purchaser with a series of support options for Devices online, by telephone or by other means. INGENERON can change the accesses via which it provides the technical support at any time. It is probable that many questions from Purchaser can be answered by the information dispatched with the device or stored on the device. Here, some current technical support services which INGENERON provides to Purchaser have been stated.
Product manuals. A series of manuals and other publications are enclosed with the device. We recommend careful examination of these materials.
Telephone support. If no answers can be found in the manuals, Purchaser can call technical support. The call volume may vary and impair Purchaser’s possibility of reaching the technical support and/or the time which Purchaser has to wait before it is possible to speak to a technician.
The device may only be returned if it is defective. The right of choice between remedying of the defect and supply of a defect-free object shall accrue to INGENERON. INGENERON shall only bear the expenditure necessary for subsequent performance, but not the expenditure for the first dispatch or for commissioning, also not insurance premiums or sales taxes which are due and you have paid when you bought the device. For the return of the device, you must contact the INGENERON after-sales service in order to obtain an RMA number (Return Merchandise Authorization). You must send the device to INGENERON in its original packaging. INGENERON shall bear the costs of transport and dispatch. In addition, a breach of the procedures portrayed in this section may lead to delays in replacement of individual parts, in repairs or replacement of your device. In addition, INGENERON reserves the right to reject acceptance of the device if these procedures are not obeyed.
