1. Quotation and order
Quotations are offered subject to confirmation. Orders will only be confirmed upon request. Any changes of personal or financial circumstances on the part of the ordering party, such as default in payment, bill protests or inaccurate information, which become known after any order is placed, entitle us to withdraw from the delivery contract or to introduce new terms and conditions (payment in advance or payment on delivery).

3. Delivery
Delivery shall be effected free of packaging with customary packaging ex works by the carrier of our choice. For orders with a value of goods of 665,- euros or more, the shipping costs incurred up to the buyer’s general cargo station will be reimbursed on the invoice. Export shipments will be dispatched free German border from 665,- Euro. Partial deliveries are permissible and may be invoiced separately. With all samples, models and colours we reserve the right to supply items exhibiting insignificant variation and to make any necessary technical changes. Stated delivery times are always non-binding unless we explicitly agree fixed deadlines or binding delivery dates and confirm them in writing. If any agreed delivery date is overshot, then the purchaser must allow an additional appropriate period of at least 18 days for delivery before withdrawing the order. In event of delay in delivery occasioned by no fault of our own, such as force majeure, stoppage etc., the ordering party‘s right to withdrawal does not apply. In such cases, the delivery period is to automatically extend by a suitable period. Compensation claims in respect of non-delivery or late delivery are excluded.

Any complaints concerning a delivery on grounds of obvious defects as regards quality or quantity, can only be lodged, in writing, within 8 days of receipt. In event of transport damage, the purchaser is obliged to assert a claim against the postal service, rail service or carrier immediately upon receipt of the goods. If any defect is acknowledged by us, we reserve the right to remedy it. If this should not prove possible, then a replacement delivery of non-defective goods will be made. We are not liable for any loss or consequential loss occasioned by improper treatment or installation, overstressing or natural wear and tear. Claims in accordance with product liability law will be restricted in event of intentional or negligent non-compliance with our instructions for use.
