General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery (GTC)

§ 1 Scope and Form

1. These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply exclusively to all business relationships with our customers. They apply only if the customer is a business operator (Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB)), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
2. These GTC apply to all contracts for the sale and/or delivery of movable goods (machines, plant, spare parts), regardless of whether we manufacture the goods ourselves or purchase them from suppliers.
3. Any deviating terms and conditions of the customer shall not be recognised unless we have expressly agreed to their validity in writing.
4. Legally relevant declarations and notifications by the customer (e.g. setting of deadlines, notices of defects, withdrawal) must be in writing (e.g. email, fax or letter).

§ 2 Offer and Conclusion of Contract

1. Our offers are subject to change and non-binding.
2. An order placed by the customer shall be deemed a binding offer to enter into a contract. Acceptance shall take place by means of a written order confirmation or by delivery of the goods.
3. In the context of electronic commerce, the parties waive the information obligations pursuant to Section 312g(1), first sentence, nos. 1 to 3 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
4. We reserve ownership rights and copyright to illustrations, drawings, calculations and other documents.
5. We reserve the right to make technical changes as well as changes to shape, colour and/or weight within the scope of customary commercial practice or technical improvements, provided that these are reasonable for the customer.

§ 3 Prices and Terms of Payment

1. Unless otherwise agreed, our prices are ex works, plus statutory VAT. Packaging, freight and customs costs will be charged separately.
2. We are entitled to adjust prices in the event of changed circumstances (e.g. increases in material or labour costs) without charging an additional profit margin, provided that more than four months elapse between the conclusion of the contract and the execution of the order.
3. The purchase price is due immediately upon invoicing, without deduction.
4. In the event of late payment, we are entitled to charge interest on arrears at a rate of 9 percentage points above the base rate, as well as a flat-rate late payment fee of €40.00.

§ 4 Delivery, Transfer of Risk and Acceptance

1. Delivery dates are approximate unless they have been expressly agreed as binding.
2. We shall not be liable for delays in delivery caused by force majeure or unforeseeable events (e.g. operational disruptions, pandemics, shortages of raw materials or failure of upstream suppliers to deliver).
3. Risk passes to the customer upon handover to the forwarding agent or carrier (sale by delivery).
4. Deemed acceptance: Where acceptance is required, the goods shall be deemed to have been accepted if
   1. delivery and, where agreed, installation have been completed,
   2. we have requested the customer to accept the goods, drawing attention to this deemed acceptance, and
   3. 14 working days have elapsed since delivery or installation, or the customer has commenced use of the goods.

§ 5 Retention of Title

1. We retain title to the goods until all claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been paid in full.
2. The customer is entitled to resell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. The customer hereby assigns to us all claims arising from such resale, in an amount equal to the invoice amount.

§ 6 Warranty (Material Defects)

1. Claims for defects by the customer are subject to the condition that they have fulfilled their statutory obligations to inspect the goods and give notice of defects (Sections 377 and 381 of the German Commercial Code (HGB)). Defects must be reported in writing within 5 working days of discovery.
2. In the event of a defect, we shall, at our discretion, provide subsequent performance by repair or replacement.
3. The limitation period for claims for defects is 12 months from delivery or acceptance.
4. Additional costs: If, for the purpose of subsequent performance, expenses (e.g. transport, travel or labour costs) increase because the goods have been taken to a location other than the customer’s business premises (e.g. abroad), the customer shall bear the resulting additional costs.

§ 7 Liability

1. We shall be liable in accordance with statutory provisions in cases of wilful misconduct and gross negligence, as well as in the event of injury to life, limb or health.
2. In cases of ordinary negligence, we shall only be liable for breaches of a fundamental contractual obligation (cardinal obligation). In such cases, liability is limited to compensation for foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.
3. Liability for consequential damages, loss of profit or loss of data is excluded to the extent permitted by law, unless there is intent.
4. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

§ 8 Data Protection

We process the customer’s personal data for the purpose of contract fulfilment in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. Further details can be found in our privacy policy.

§ 9 Final Provisions

1. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
2. The place of performance and exclusive place of jurisdiction is our registered office.
3. Should any individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected (severability clause).
