These conditions apply exclusively to entrepreneurs, legal entities under public law or special funds under public law within the meaning of § 310 (1) BGB. Conditions of the customer that conflict with or deviate from our terms and conditions will only be recognized if they have been expressly agreed in writing.

  1. Prices – terms of payment

(1) All of our prices are without cash discount, ex warehouse (Darmstadt), excluding packaging and plus VAT at the applicable rate.

(2) If the agreed delivery time exceeds 60 days after conclusion of the contract, we are entitled to adjust the prices according to our price list valid on the day of delivery.

(4) The purchaser is only entitled to set-off rights – even if complaints or counterclaims are asserted – if his counterclaims have been legally established, are undisputed or have been recognized by us. In addition, he is only authorized to exercise a right of retention to the extent that his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.

(2) Delivery dates or deadlines that have not been expressly agreed as binding are only non-binding information.

(3) If the customer defaults on acceptance or culpably violates other duties to cooperate, we are entitled to demand compensation for the damage we incur, including any additional expenses. Further claims remain reserved.

  1. Transfer of risk, shipping and packaging

(1) If the goods are sent to the customer at the request of the customer, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods passes to the customer upon dispatch to the customer, at the latest when he leaves the warehouse. This applies regardless of whether the goods are dispatched to the place of performance or who bears the freight costs.

(2) Unless otherwise agreed, the shipper chooses packaging and shipping method at its best discretion. Loading and shipping are uninsured at the risk of the customer. Special requests of the customer are taken into account if possible; potential additional costs are at his expense.

(3) If the shipment is delayed at the request or through the fault of the customer, we will store the goods at the customer’s expense and risk. In this case, the notification of readiness for dispatch is equivalent to dispatch.

  1. liability for defects

(1) Claims for defects on the part of the purchaser presuppose that the purchaser has properly complied with his inspection and notification obligations owed pursuant to Section 377 HGB.

(2) Claims for defects do not exist if there is only an insignificant deviation from the agreed quality, if there is only an insignificant impairment of usability, if there is natural wear and tear or if the damage occurs after the passing of risk due to incorrect or negligent handling, excessive use, unsuitable equipment or arise due to special external influences that are not required by the contract.

(3) The purchaser must grant us a reasonable period for subsequent performance. The supplementary performance can be done at our discretion by eliminating the defect (rectification) or delivery of new goods. In the event of rectification of the defect, we will bear the necessary expenses insofar as these do not exceed the purchase price.

(4) If the supplementary performance has failed twice, the purchaser can choose to reduce the purchase price (reduction) or to withdraw from the contract. If the delivery is incomplete, the purchaser is only entitled to a reduction, unless the purchaser can prove that it is unreasonable for him to adhere to the contract due to the incomplete delivery.

(5) The customer can only assert claims for damages due to a defect if the supplementary performance has failed. The right of the purchaser to assert further claims for damages under the following conditions remains unaffected.

The obligation is also excluded if the customer himself was not obliged to exercise the warranty rights towards the end consumer due to the legal regulations or did not make this complaint against a claim made to him. This also applies if the purchaser has given the consumer more than the legal guarantee.

  1. Joint liability

(1) Any further liability for damages than provided for in § 6 is excluded – regardless of the legal nature of the asserted claim. This applies in particular to claims for damages arising from fault at the conclusion of the contract, due to other breaches of duty or due to tortious claims for compensation for property damage in accordance with § 823 BGB.
