End of the revocation

6. Refusal of acceptance

If a buyer who is not a consumer in the sense of § 13 BGB does not accept the sold goods, we are entitled to choose to insist on acceptance or to demand 10% of the purchase price as a lump sum compensation for damages and expenses, unless the buyer proves that damage has not occurred or has occurred to a lesser extent. In the event of an extraordinarily high damage, we reserve the right to assert this claim. For the duration of the Buyer’s default in acceptance, we shall be entitled to store the delivery items at our premises, at a forwarding agent’s or a warehouse keeper’s premises at the Buyer’s risk. During the period of default in acceptance, the Buyer shall pay us a lump sum of EUR 15 per month for the storage costs incurred without further proof. The lump-sum compensation shall be reduced to the extent that the Buyer proves that expenses or damage have not been incurred. In the event of exceptionally high storage costs, we reserve the right to assert these.

7. Retention of title

7.1 We retain title to the purchased item until full payment of all claims arising from the delivery contract, including ancillary claims (e.g. bill of exchange costs, financing costs, interest, etc.). In the event of any breach of contract on your part, we shall be entitled to demand the return of the object of sale.

7.2 In the event of seizures or other interventions by third parties, you shall notify us immediately in writing.

7.4 You shall be entitled to resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. However, you hereby assign to us all claims against your purchaser or third parties arising from the resale in the amount of the final invoice amount.

8 Warranty / Disclaimer

8.1 The warranty rights are governed by the statutory provisions, unless otherwise stated below.

A liability for normal wear and tear is excluded. In the case of used goods, the warranty period shall be 12 months from the transfer of risk.

8.2 We shall not assume any warranty for defects and damage resulting from unsuitable or improper use, non-compliance with instructions for use or incorrect or negligent handling. This applies in particular to the operation of the items with the wrong type of current or voltage as well as connection to unsuitable power sources. The same applies to defects and damage caused by fire, lightning, explosion or mains overvoltage, moisture of any kind, incorrect or missing program software and / or processing data, unless the buyer proves that these circumstances are not the cause of the claimed defect.

8.3. The warranty shall lapse if you carry out interventions and/or repairs on equipment or have them carried out by persons who have not been authorized by us, insofar as the defect that has occurred is based on this.

8.4. Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) shall apply to obvious defects in commercial transactions.

8.5. In the event of a warranty claim, the consumer shall be entitled to assert a right to rectification of defects or delivery of defect-free goods (subsequent performance) at his discretion. If the chosen type of supplementary performance is associated with disproportionately high costs, the claim shall be limited to the remaining type of supplementary performance. Within the scope of the delivery of defect-free goods, the exchange into higher-quality products with comparable properties shall already be deemed to have been accepted, provided that this is reasonable for the consumer and us (e.g.: exchange into the successor model, same model series, etc.). Further rights, in particular the cancellation of the purchase contract, can only be asserted after the expiry of a reasonable period for subsequent performance or the failure of subsequent performance twice.

8.6. If the Buyer is an entrepreneur, we are entitled within one year from the date of delivery at our discretion to remedy the defect or deliver defect-free goods within the meaning of § 439 BGB. After the expiry of one year from the date of delivery, his warranty claims shall be limited to rectification of defects or credit note for the current value at our discretion. Should the entrepreneur demand reimbursement of expenses within the meaning of § 478 II BGB, this shall be limited to a maximum of 2% of the original value of the goods. Claims based on § 478 BGB are covered by the 24-month warranty for entrepreneurs under 8.1 in the sense of the equivalent compensation under § 478 IV p. 1 BGB.

8.7. By a replacement under the warranty / guarantee, no new warranty / guarantee periods come into force; § 203 BGB remains unaffected.
8.8. We do not guarantee the specified condition of the goods in the sense of § 443 BGB. Any warranty rights granted by the manufacturer shall remain unaffected thereby and shall be determined exclusively in accordance with the warranty declaration handed over to the customer with the goods.

8.9 We shall be liable without limitation in accordance with the statutory provisions of warranty law for damages arising from injury to life, limb or health which are based on a negligent or intentional breach of duty on our part or an intentional or negligent breach of duty on the part of our vicarious agents. In addition, we shall be liable without limitation in accordance with the statutory provisions for other damages if these are based on the breach of a material contractual obligation. This is the case if the breach of duty relates to a duty the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the customer has relied and was entitled to rely.

8.10. The liability provisions regulated under 8.9 are limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage and also apply to other breaches of duty outside the warranty law. This includes in particular the breach of main and ancillary performance obligations in the period prior to delivery of the goods. Otherwise, liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. We shall not be liable for the restoration of data unless we have caused the loss intentionally or by gross negligence and the Buyer has ensured that a data backup has been made so that the data can be reconstructed with reasonable effort.

8.11. For the handling of warranty claims, please refer to the instructions in our current return and service information enclosed with every delivery.

9. withdrawal in case of deterioration of assets

We may withdraw from the contract if we become aware of a cessation of payments, the opening of insolvency or composition proceedings, the rejection of insolvency for lack of assets, bill or check protests or other concrete indications of deterioration in the financial circumstances of the buyer.

13. Place of jurisdiction, partial invalidity, applicable law

13.1 In business transactions with merchants and with legal entities under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes arising from the contract, including actions on bills of exchange and checks, is agreed to be Westerstede; we are also entitled to file suit at the buyer’s place of business.

13.2 In the event that individual provisions of the supply contract or these General Terms and Conditions are invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid.
