General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Payment

1. General terms and conditions
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Payment shall apply to all business conducted by us. Principally, we do not recognise the own terms and conditions applied by buyers of our products and services. Collateral agreements (side agreements), and any modifications to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Payment, shall require our confirmation in writing. We reserve the right to implement without prior notice technical improvements in, and to make any other changes in or implement any deviations to, the models as shown in our catalogues and samples.
We shall treat any data that we receive with regard to persons in accordance with the relevant legal stipulations.
2. Quotations and conclusion of contracts
All quotations by us shall be conditional, insofar as they are not restricted in validity to a particular time period.

3. Prices
Our prices must be considered conditional. For deliveries in the Federal Republic of Germany, our prices do include the current valid rate of German value-added tax (Mehrwertsteuer).

4. Deliveries
All deliveries within the Federal Republic of Germany shall take place free of delivery charges by transport means of our choice: i.e., at our expense and at the buyer´s risk. Special packing and packing as requested by the buyer, as well as the costs of special forwarding, shall be additionally invoiced at cost.
We provide delivery times to the best of our knowledge, but without any form of obligation. No claims shall be recognised for damages of any kind which result from delays in delivery.
In the event of force majeure, or any conditions for which we are not responsible, that may render impossible the execution of contracts within the time schedule agreed, such circumstances shall authorize us to terminate an agreement under the exclusion of any claims for damages lodged by the ordering party, or to postpone the delivery by the duration of the hindering conditions.
Partial deliveries shall be allowed and shall be considered as separate, independent business transactions. The subsequent-delivery term of twenty-two (22) days after the point in time of the respective ten-day delivery period, as legally stipulated in Germany, shall be determining. The seller shall be authorized to deliver after expiry of this subsequent-delivery term of twenty-two (22) days, unless the buyer has given notice to terminate delivery.
