1. General Provisions
1.1. Solely the following terms apply to all, including future, deliveries and services (hereinafter “deliveries”). We expressly reject conditions deviating from those in these General Terms of Delivery including those in any customer purchase order. We are only bound by conditions to which we have expressly agreed in writing.

2.2. Withholding payments or offsetting claims is not permitted unless we expressly agreed in writing.

3.1. We retain title to the delivered goods until all payments resulting from the business relationship with the customer have been received. Should there be an open account relationship, the retention of title applies to the recognized balance.
3.2. The customer must insure the goods at his own expense adequately against loss and damage at their reinstatement value and the customer assigns to us the proceeds of all claims arising from the insurance relationship.
3.3. Treatment and processing of the goods by the customer is always carried out on our behalf. Should the conditional goods be processed with or incorporated into other goods, we acquire title to the new goods in the proportion of the invoiced value of the conditional goods to the invoiced value of the other materials

However, he assigns all claims against a customer or against third parties arising in the course of resale or further use of the goods in the course of a customer’s instructions in their entirety to use in advance.
3.5. The customer is authorized to collect claims already assigned to us. Should the customer no longer fulfill his payment obligations, we may revoke permission to further process the goods as well as authorization to collect claims, demand that the customer reveal the assigned claims and their debtors to us, give us all information necessary to collect the claims, surrender the applicable documents, and inform his debtors of the assignment.

3.7. Should the value of the conditional goods exceed our claims by more than 10% and the customer so requests, we will release commensurate collateral of our choice.
4. Delivery and Delay of Delivery
4.1. Adherence to delivery deadlines requires the timely arrival of all documents that the customer must deliver and the necessary authorizations and clearances, as well as the customer’s compliance with the terms of payment and adherence to the other obligations to which have been agreed. Should these conditions not be fulfilled on time, or should the customer require changes, the delivery deadlines will be appropriately extended. This condition does not apply when we are responsible for the delay.
4.2. Partial deliveries in reasonable amounts are allowed.
4.3. Events that are unforeseen, unavoidable, and beyond our control (e.g., force majeure, strikes, and lockouts; stoppages; difficulties in obtaining materials or energy; transportation delays; scarcity of labor, energy, or raw materials; or actions by administrative bodies, as well as difficulties in obtaining authorizations, in particular import or export licenses), extend the delivery period by the length of the disturbance and its effects. This provision also applies when such difficulties affect our suppliers or occur during an existing delay in delivery. Should the difficulty not only be temporary, both parties to the contract have the right to withdraw. Claims for damages due to events listed in this paragraph are excluded.
4.4 Should delivery be delayed, our liability in cases of ordinary negligence is limited to a lump sum payment of 0.5% of the order value of the goods that cannot be used for their intended purpose for each complete week of delay. The maximum lump sum payment is limited to 5% of the order value of the goods that cannot be used for their intended purpose. Claims for damages instead of performance are not affected. The customer must inform us about contract penalties applied by his customers no later than time at which the contract concluded.

Should these deadlines be exceeded, the customer will have no right to make any claim for defects. The customer cannot make any claims concerning the goods twelve (12) months after delivery.
6.3. The customer must allow us to inspect the goods. The customer may not process the goods until the investigation of the complaint has been completed.
6.4. In case of legitimate complaints, we have the choice of delivering replacement goods or repairing the goods.
