The Supplier's Terms and Conditions of Delivery shall only apply to entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 310 (1) of the German Civil Code (BGB).

The Purchaser shall be obliged to verify the Supplier's information on the content and scope of the respective delivery prior to the order even if the Supplier assists the Purchaser in planning the delivery prior to the order. The Purchaser shall inform the Supplier without undue delay if the selected designs, components etc. may not be suitable, economical or otherwise unfavorable, incorrect or disadvantageous.
-
The delivery does not include assembly and commissioning of the object of the delivery.
-
The Supplier shall be entitled to make partial deliveries.
-
The Supplier reserves all rights of ownership and copyright to cost estimates, drawings, photographs and other documents. They may only be made accessible to third parties with the prior consent of the supplier. Drawings and other documents belonging to offers shall be returned immediately upon request if the order is not placed with the supplier. Sentences 1 and 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis to documents of the Purchaser; these may, however, be made accessible to such third parties to whom the Supplier has permissibly transferred Supplies or Services.
II. Price list/Price

-
the prices are valid for delivery without installation or assembly ex works excluding packaging.
III. Extended retention of title

The Purchaser hereby assigns to the Supplier the claims against third parties arising therefrom to the full extent by way of security. Notwithstanding the assignment, the Purchaser shall remain entitled to collect the claim. In the event that the Purchaser fails to make timely payment, the Supplier shall be entitled to prohibit the Purchaser from collecting the claim and to oblige the Purchaser to provide the Supplier with all information and documents required for the collection of the claim by the Supplier immediately after notification and to notify the third party of the assignment immediately after notification.

3. section IV 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the assertion of the right of retention by the purchaser. If a notice of defect is asserted by the Purchaser, payments by the Purchaser may be withheld to an extent that is in reasonable proportion to the defects that have occurred.
IV. Time limit for deliveries or services
-
Despite the agreement of a specific delivery time or a fixed delivery period, it is not a fixed transaction unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. This shall also apply in the case of a commercial transaction.
-
If the non-observance of the delivery time or the delivery period - hereinafter collectively referred to as: period - is demonstrably due to mobilization, war, riot, strike, lockout or the occurrence of unforeseeable obstacles, the period shall be extended accordingly.
-
In the event of non-compliance with the time limit for reasons other than those mentioned above, the Purchaser may, provided it can credibly demonstrate that it has suffered damage as a result of the delay, claim compensation for delay for each full week of delay of 0.5% up to a total of 5% of the value of that part of the Supplies or Services of the Supplier which could not be put to the intended use because individual items belonging thereto were not completed in time. The Purchaser may also claim payment of the compensation for delay if the circumstances referred to in subsection 1 occur only after the originally agreed period has been exceeded through the fault of the Supplier. Claims for compensation by the Purchaser exceeding the aforementioned limit of 5 % shall be excluded in all cases of delayed Supplies, even upon expiry of a period of grace granted to the Supplier. This shall not apply if liability is mandatory in cases of intent or gross negligence.
4. The purchaser's right to withdraw from the contract after the fruitless expiry of a deadline set to the supplier for performance or subsequent performance remains unaffected.
5. If dispatch or delivery is delayed at the request of the Purchaser, the Purchaser may be charged storage costs of 0.5 per cent of the invoice amount for each month or part thereof, commencing one
month after notification of readiness for dispatch; the storage costs shall be limited to 5 per cent, unless higher costs can be proven.
VI. Place of Performance, Transfer of Risk, Packaging Ordinance
-
Delivery shall be made "ex works" of the supplier. Shipment by the supplier shall always be made at the request of the purchaser. This shall also apply if carriage paid delivery has been agreed. The shipment can be insured against breakage, transport and fire damage by the Supplier at the express request and expense of the Purchaser.
-
If dispatch or delivery is delayed at the request of the purchaser or for reasons for which the purchaser is responsible, the risk shall pass to the purchaser for the period of the delay, but the supplier shall be obliged, at the request and expense of the purchaser, to effect the insurances requested by the purchaser.
-
transport and sales packaging shall be taken back by the supplier in accordance with the Packaging Ordinance (VerpackV). For deliveries of goods, where transport packaging according to § 4 VerpackV accrues, Munich is always the place of performance. In the case of deliveries of goods involving sales packaging within the meaning of § 7 of the German Packaging Ordinance (VerpackV), the Purchaser and the Supplier agree that the Supplier shall accept the sales packaging at its registered office in Munich and that the Purchaser shall bear the costs of the return transport of the sales packaging.

6.

7. The Supplier shall only bear the transport costs necessary for the purpose of subsequent performance for the replacement of defective items delivered by the Supplier.

XIII. Severability Clause
Should any provision of these contractual terms and conditions or of any other part of the contract be invalid or later lose its validity, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In place of the invalid provisions, an appropriate provision shall apply which comes as close as possible to what the contracting parties would have intended if they had been aware of the invalidity when concluding the contract.
