General Terms and Conditions

Terms and conditions of purchase and ordering


I. General

  1. These Terms and Conditions of Purchase and Ordering shall apply to transactions which we conclude with a merchant if the contract is part of his commercial enterprise, as well as to transactions which we conclude with a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
  2. These Terms and Conditions of Purchase and Ordering form the basis of every order placed by us. Contracts shall only be concluded by us on the basis of these terms and conditions.
  3. Terms and conditions of sale or other terms and conditions of our contractual partners shall not be deemed to have been agreed, even if their clauses do not contradict our terms and conditions. Rather, the statutory provisions shall apply in this respect.
  4. The use of sales or other terms and conditions of our suppliers shall be deemed a rejection of our order. If a delivery is nevertheless made on the basis of our order, this shall be deemed a waiver of the use of the supplier's own terms and conditions of business with simultaneous submission to our Terms and Conditions of Purchase and Ordering.
  5. Our Terms and Conditions of Purchase and Ordering shall also apply to all our future orders, even if no express reference is made to them

II Conclusion

  1. Our orders are placed in writing. Verbal agreements shall become binding upon our written confirmation. This applies in particular to amendments and additions to the order.

III Terms and conditions of purchase and ordering

  1. The timeliness of deliveries shall be determined by the date of receipt by us or a place of receipt specified by us. The timeliness of other services depends on their acceptance.
  2. If deliveries or services ordered by us are delayed, we must be informed immediately.

IV. Transfer of risk and dispatch

  1. In the case of deliveries, the risk shall pass upon receipt by us or an office designated by us. In the case of other services and deliveries of items to be erected or assembled by us, the risk shall pass upon acceptance.
  2. Unless otherwise agreed, the shipping costs, packaging costs and other ancillary costs shall be borne by the contractor.

V. Invoicing and payments

  1. Invoices to us shall be issued with reference to the order, stating our order number and using the service description of the order. Claims arising from orders placed by us shall not be due until we have received an invoice in accordance with this provision.
  2. Unless otherwise agreed, our payments shall be made within 14 days with a 3% discount or within 30 days net.
  3. The payment period shall commence when the delivery or service has been provided in full and we have received a properly issued invoice in accordance with the above provision.
  4. The Contractor shall only be entitled to offset or assert rights of retention if the counterclaims have been legally established and are undisputed.

VI Force majeure

  1. If the fulfillment of our contractual obligations, in particular the acceptance of the goods, is not possible or significantly impeded due to force majeure or similar unforeseeable events for which we are not responsible, we shall be released from our obligation to perform for the duration of the impediment plus a reasonable start-up period. If these obstacles last for more than three months, each party is entitled to withdraw from the contract.
