Any property rights and existing laws and provisions must be autonomously observed by the recipient of our products.
2. We reserve the right, the buyer may refuse to pay the purchase price in so far as the buyer would be entitled to do so by reason of rescission or abatement. 

 

V. Delivery Period 

1. Information regarding delivery periods is unbinding unless the delivery date has been exceptionally agreed as „binding“. 
2. The delivery period shall commence with the date of confirmation of order but not however prior to provision of items required to be furnished by the Purchaser i.e. supporting documentation, official approvals and releases including receipt of any agreed payment, opening of any letter of credit required or evidence of arrangement of any collateral agreed. 
3. The delivery period shall be deemed met if the goods have left the Neresheim warehouse facility within the delivery period.
4. Should any unforeseen impediments outside our control arise which despite the requisite care required given the particular circumstances of the case we are not in a position to avert - irrespective of whether the said impediments occur with us or at subcontractors - including force majeure (e.g. war or natural catastrophe) or delays in the supply of essential raw materials or other circumstances for which we are not responsible - we are entitled to withdraw from the Supply Contract either wholly or in part or alternatively to extend the delivery period by the duration of the impediment. We shall be entitled to the same rights in the event of strikes and lockouts at our premises or those of our upstream suppliers.  We shall immediately notify our customers of any such circumstances. 
5. In the event of delay in delivery the Purchaser may, following the expiry of an appropriate period of grace to no effect, withdraw from the Contract; in the event of the practical impossibility of supply of goods on our part he is also entitled to do so without notice.  A period of 14 days shall be deemed appropriate and in the case of special custom-made products this shall be a minimum of 1 month. 
Delayed delivery shall equate to impossibility if delivery does not follow after 1 month or 6 weeks in the case of special custom-made products. 
Claims for damages (including any consequential loss) shall be excluded irrespective of Section 6; the same shall apply in the case of reimbursement of expenses.
6. The liability disclaimer provision under Section 5 shall not apply if any exclusion or restriction of liability is agreed in respect of injury to life, physical injury or damage to health which is due to intentional or negligent dereliction of duty on the part of the user or intentional or negligent dereliction of duty on the part of any legal representative or vicarious agent of the user; nor shall it apply if any exclusion or limitation of liability is agreed for other forms of damage caused by any intentional or grossly negligent dereliction of duty on the part of any legal representative or vicarious agent of the user. 
If we culpably infringe any essential contractual obligation or any cardinal obligation liability shall not be excluded but shall be limited to typical foreseeable contractual damage. 
In the event of reimbursement of expenses the above shall apply accordingly. 
Für den Fall des Aufwendungsersatzes gilt das Vorstehende entsprechend. 
7. If any commercial fixed date transaction has been agreed the liability limitations arising from Section 5 and Section 6 shall not apply; the same applies if the Purchaser is in a position to claim that as a consequence of the delay for which we are responsible his interest in performance of the Contract ceases to apply. 
8. In the case of call orders calls shall be notified to us in a timely manner to enable orderly manufacture and supply and at least 6 weeks prior to the desired delivery date.  Call orders must be called forward within 12 months from the date of order if no other fixed deadlines have been agreed.  If call does not follow or not completely within 12 months from the date of order or on the agreed call terms the Purchaser shall be deemed in default of acceptance. 
9. Should the Purchaser fall into acceptance arrears or infringe duties of cooperation we are entitled to claim compensation for loss incurred by us including any additional expenses.  In such event risk of accidental destruction or loss or accidental deterioration of the item of purchase shall transfer to the Purchaser if the latter is in default of acceptance. 

 

VI. Transfer of Risk, Packaging Costs and Insurance 

1. Upon handover to the forwarding agent or carrier and at the latest upon leaving our premises risk of accidental destruction or loss and accidental deterioration transfers to the Purchaser.  Incoterms 2000 „ex works/ab Werk“ Clause (German version) applies. 
2. Should handover be delayed due to any circumstance for which the Purchaser is responsible or as a consequence of the latter‘s instructions risk shall transfer to the Purchaser with effect from the date of notification of readiness for despatch.  At the express written request of the Purchaser we undertake to insure goods stored with us at the Purchaser‘s cost.  This also applies in those cases where a delivery period has not been expressly agreed with the proviso that risk transfers to the Purchaser 7 calendar days following notification of readiness for despatch. 
3. If the Purchaser wishes we shall cover delivery by transport insurance; costs in this regard shall be borne by the Purchaser. 
4. Transportation and all other packaging shall not be returned subject to requirements of the German Packaging Ordinance. The Purchaser undertakes to arrange disposal of packaging materials at his own cost. 
5. Delivered items shall be received and accepted by the Purchaser even if they display minor imperfections irrespective of his rights under the terms of §§ 433 ff. BGB.

 

VII. Reservation of Title 

1.We reserve the right to ownership of the items delivered until full payment has been made in accordance with the delivery contract. This shall also apply to all future deliveries, even if we do not always expressly refer to this. Up until that point the Purchaser is not entitled to pledge the goods to third parties or to assign them as security.  The Purchaser shall store the reserved goods for us at no charge. 
2. In the event of processing and combination of reserved title goods with other goods by the Purchaser we shall acquire joint title to the new item in the ratio of the invoiced value of the reserved title goods to the combined material entity.  The joint title rights accordingly ensuing shall be considered as reserved title goods as defined in Clause 1.
3. The Purchaser is entitled to sell the reserved title goods in the due process of sale provided he is not in payment arrears in respect of our purchase price claims. 
4. The Purchaser hereby assigns to us at this point in time all claims accruing to him as a result of resale of the reserved title goods vis-à-vis third parties.  If the reserved title goods are sold following processing, combination or amalgamation assignment of the claim arising from resale shall apply only up to the extent of the value of the reserved title goods invoiced to the Purchaser by the Vendor.  This shall also apply if the reserved title goods are resold together with other goods which similarly do not belong to the Vendor.
5.The Purchaser is also authorised to collect the claim even following assignment.  We may restrict the said collection authorisation on the basis of justifiable interest or revoke the same on due cause found, in particular in the event of payment arrears.  We may require that the Purchaser shall notify us of the claims assigned to him and of related debtors plus all information necessary for collection and surrender to us all associated documentation and disclose the said assignment to his debtors. 
6. The Purchaser hereby declares his consent that the persons authorised by us in connection with assignment of the reserved title goods may enter the property or building on or in which the items are situated in order to take possession of the reserved title goods.
7. The Purchaser shall immediately inform us in respect of any confiscation, compulsory enforcement or other third party intervention adversely affecting our rights of ownership.  The Purchaser shall bear the costs of measures to remedy third party interference in particular of any possible intervention procedures. 

 

VIII. Warranty and Liability  

1. The condition of the goods is defined exclusively by the agreed technical delivery specifications. In the event that we are to make deliveries in accordance with drawings, specifications, models etc. by our Partner, the latter bears the risk of suitability for the intended purpose. The point in time at which risk is transferred is decisive in determining whether the condition of the goods complies with the contract. 
2. We will not be liable for material defects caused by unsuitable or improper use, defective installation or commissioning by the Purchaser or a third party, fair wear and tear, defective or negligent handling, nor for the consequences of improper modifications and modifications made without our consent or maintenance work carried out by the Purchaser or third parties. The same applies for defects which reduce the value or suitability of the item to an insignificant extent.
3. The Purchaser is obliged to meet its obligation to inspect and submit complaints in compliance with Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) as a pre-requisite for making any claim on the basis of defects. Here, it must examine the delivery immediately or, at the latest, one week from receipt, for any defects and notify us where defects are discovered. If there is a defect that is imputable to us, we are entitled to choose whether to rectify the delivery or to replace it. Within the scope of supplementary performance, we are obliged to reimburse the Purchaser for the expenses required to remove the defective goods and for installation or fitting of repaired goods or subsequently delivered defect-free goods. Reimbursement of costs is excluded, insofar as expenses increase due to the fact that the goods are taken to another location after our delivery, unless this is in conformity with the intended use of the goods. This shall apply accordingly to claims for reimbursement of expenses by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 445a (seller‘s recourse) of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB), provided that the last contract in the supply chain is not a consumer goods purchase. If one of the two types of subsequent performance or both prove impossible or unreasonable, we are entitled to refuse them. For as long as the Purchaser fails to meet payment obligations to an extent that reflects the defect-free portion of the performance, we are entitled to refuse subsequent performance. 
4. If the rectification or replacement delivery do not occur within a reasonable period - in consideration of our delivery possibilities - or if the rectification and/or replacement delivery fail, the Purchaser may demand a reduction of purchase price or withdraw from the contract. 
5. Unless otherwise provided for below (par. 7), further claims by the Purchaser are excluded, regardless of their legal grounds (in particular claims arising from a breach of principal or subsidiary contractual obligations, reimbursement of expenses with the exception of that pursuant to Section 439 II of the German Civil Code, unlawful acts or other tortious liability); this applies in particular to damages not caused to the delivery item itself and to claims for loss of profit; claims which do not result from the defectiveness of the object purchased are also included. 
6. The preceding provisions also apply in the event of delivery of another item or a lesser quantity. 
7. The exclusion of liability regulated in paragraph 5 does not apply insofar as an exclusion or limitation of the liability for damages from injury to life, limb, or health has been agreed upon and said injury is caused by an intentional or grossly negligent violation of duties by the user; the exclusion of liability does not apply either insofar as an exclusion or limitation of the liability for other damages is agreed upon and said damages are caused by a violation of the duties by a legal representative or agent of the user. Insofar as we culpably breach a contractual or material obligation, liability is not excluded, but limited to foreseeable damages that are typical of the contract; it is otherwise excluded pursuant to par. 5. Furthermore, the exclusion of liability does not apply if under product liability law liability exists for personal injury or material damage to privately used objects. It also does not apply in the event of assumption of a guarantee and assurance of a feature, if a defect thereby covered triggers our liability. The above shall apply also to reimbursement of expenses. 
8. Claims on subsequent performance, damages and reimbursement of expenses become time-barred one year after delivery of the purchased object. This does not apply to an object which has been used according to its usual purpose for a construction and has caused its defectiveness; in this case, claims shall only lapse after 5 years. Claims on reduction and exercise of the right to withdraw from the contract are excluded, insofar as the subsequent performance claim has lapsed. The Purchaser may, however, refuse payment of the purchase price in the event of clause 3 insofar as it would be entitled to do so based on withdrawal or reduction; in the event of exclusion of withdrawal and a subsequent refusal to pay, we are entitled to withdraw from the contract. 
9. The Purchaser‘s right of recourse against us in accordance with Section 445a (seller’s recourse) shall only exist insofar as the Purchaser has not made any agreements with its customer that exceed the statutory claims for defects.  

 

IX. Liability for Collateral Obligations 

1. If through any fault on our part the item supplied cannot be used as stated under the terms of the Contract or if damage occurs as a consequence of omitted or faulty implementation of suggestions and consultations prior to and subsequent to conclusion of the Contract including other contractual collateral obligations to the exclusion of further claims on the part of the Purchaser, the provisions of Clauses 8 and 10 shall apply accordingly. 

10. Withdrawal by the Purchaser and other Liabilities on our part
1. The following provisions shall apply in the event of infringements over and above liability for defect and shall neither exclude nor limit statutory right of withdrawal.        
Similarly, lawful or contractual claims due to us shall be neither excluded nor limited.  
2. The Purchaser may withdraw from the Contract if the overall performance is definitively impractical, the same applying to incapacity. 
The Purchaser may also withdraw from the entire Contract if in the event of an order for similar items implementation of part of the supply is impossible in terms of numerical quantity due to our representation obligation and if he has no interest in partial supply; if this is not the case the Purchaser may abate the consideration accordingly; the right of withdrawal shall not apply in the case of immaterial infringement of obligation.  
3. Should there be any delay in performance and provided the Purchaser grants us an appropriate period to complete performance following justification of the delay and should the said period fail to be observed the Purchaser shall be entitled to withdraw.  This shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event of partial default in performance. 
If prior to delivery the Purchaser requires in any aspect alternative execution of the item supplied the delivery period shall be interrupted until the date of agreement regarding execution and if necessary extended by the time necessary for alternative execution.  
4. Withdrawal shall be excluded if the Purchaser is solely or to a large extent predominantly responsible for the circumstance entitling him to withdrawal or if the circumstance for which we are responsible occurs at the point in time of default in acceptance on the part of the Purchaser. 
In the event of impracticality we retain in the above cases our claim to consideration as defined in § 326 Section 2 BGB [Civil Code]. 
5. Further claims on the part of the Purchaser, irrespective of legal grounds (in particular claims arising from default at the point of conclusion of the Contract, infringement of main and ancillary contractual obligations, reimbursement of expenses, impermissible act and any other tortious liability) are excluded; this applies in particular to damage not occurring to the item supplied itself including compensation claims for lost profit; also included are claims which do not result from the faulty nature of the purchased item.
This shall not apply if the cause of damage is due to intent or gross negligence on our part, our legal representatives or vicarious agents.  Nor shall this apply if the damage arises from culpable injury to life, physical injury or damage to health. 
To a similarly lesser degree liability in the event of assumption of a guarantee is excluded if an obligation infringement covered thereby activates our liability. 
If we culpably infringe any essential contractual obligation or any „cardinal“ obligation liability shall not be excluded but shall be limited to typical foreseeable contractual damage.  

 

XI. Tools and Models

1. Tools and models made by us or on our behalf shall remain in our possession and ownership even if the cost of making them has been wholly or partly borne by the buyer.
2. Any agreed customer protection shall lapse upon the client becoming unable to pay its debts, as well as after the expiry of a 5-year period, if no parts have been made from the tool within this period.

12. Place of Performance and Jurisdiction
1. Place of performance of both parts arising from all legal relationships is 73450 Neresheim.
2. In respect of the legal relationship between the Purchaser and us the laws of the Federal Republic of German apply.  UN Sale of Goods legislation (CISG) is expressly excluded. 
3. Inasmuch as the purchaser is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, our place of business shall be the exclusive legal venue for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship. We shall also be entitled to file suit at the purchaser’s place of business.
