I. Tender and Conclusion of Contract

1. Our tenders are always made subject to confirmation up to the final order confirmation, minor deviations that are customary in the trade and the execution of technical improvements.

2. Assignments are seen as accepted when we have written a letter of confirmation or have delivered the equipment. Supplementary oral agreements have not been made. Obvious errors, spelling and mathematical mistakes are not binding for us.

3. Our terms and conditions of sale and delivery are part of every contract. The Contracting Principal's conditions of sale have been vetoed.

4. The customer's order is a binding tender. We are entitled to accept the tender within two weeks by sending an order confirmation or by sending the customer the ordered equipment within the same period of time.

5. Should nothing else to the contrary have been agreed upon, published details in text and picture form (e.g. descriptions, pictures or drawings) in catalogues, brochures and other such publications describe definitively the condition of the equipment delivered by us and their possible uses. Other manufacturer's data is binding. Our details do not represent any guarantee for durability or condition and comply with our current state of knowledge. We cannot be held liable for unsuccessful use.

II. Utilisation

The products delivered by us are determined exclusively for national (domestic) use. Exceptions to this require our written approval.

III. Delivery

1. Part deliveries are only admissible in a reasonable scope.

2. Every delivery is carried out at the customer's risk irrespective of who carries the freight costs and regardless of whether the delivery is sent from the Schutterwald warehouse or a different distribution centre.

3. We will determine how the delivery is made and the delivery route. Should the customer decide upon another delivery route and/or method of delivery, and we facilitate this, the customer is to carry the extra costs incurred.

4. The delivery time stated is always non-binding. They commence once any technical queries have been clarified and with the day we receive the order. Adherence to the delivery times is dependent on the customer following his contractual regulations, especially in regard to the terms of payment and the punctual sending of all necessary documents from the customer.

5.  We are released from our duties to deliver by the commencement of insolvency proceedings, taking a formal oath before the court, a cheque bouncing or the customer's bill of exchange being contended.

6. We assume liability for delays in delivery and performance, even for appointments which have been made binding, for reasons of force majeure or events, which make delivery difficult or impossible - this includes especially strike, lock-out, administrative measures etc., even if they occur at our deliverers or his subcontractors. They entitle us to postpone delivery or performance for the length of the obstacle incl. a reasonable period of time, or to rescind the contract in part of in whole on the grounds of the non-fulfilled part or performance. In such cases the customer is not entitled to compensation. If the obstacle takes more than 3 months to remove, the customer is entitled to rescind the contract after a reasonable period of time given to remove the obstacle. We may only take advantage of these conditions, if we have informed the customer of them immediately upon their becoming apparent.

7. Should we fall into arrears, we can be held liable for the legal amount, if we have caused the default by intention or gross negligence, or by intentionally infringing on our contractual duties, or if the damage is to life, limb or health. In the case of a negligent infringement of a significant contractual duty, liability is limited to the foreseeable, typical damages as long as the liability is not on grounds of damage to life, body or health. As far as the delay in delivery is for reasons of an intentional infringement of a significant contractual duty, the customer is entitled to a lump-sum claim for damages incurred by the delay to the amount of 1 % of the delivery value, maximal, however, 10 % of the delivery value for every full week of the delay - with the exclusion of further claims for compensation. We cannot be held liable for delays which go above and beyond the stipulations in fig. 7.

IV. Non-justified withdrawal by customer, compensation for damages

Should the customer resign the contract without due cause, or we place claims against the customer on grounds of default or the infringement of any contractual duty, we are entitled to the following: Either we can demand completion, or we can demand the return of the goods already supplied by us as well as an additional payment in the amount of 20% of the total price; the customer has the possibility to verify to us that the loss of profit is below 20%.

V. Reservation of Property Rights

1. The following securities will be made to us, which we will release upon demand as we choose, as long as their value sustainably exceeds 20 % of the demands, until all demands that accrue to us for whatever legal reason against the customer, have been satisfied (including all current account debts).

2. The equipment remains our property. Processing is always effected for us as manufacturer, however without obligation to do so. If our (part) ownership lapses due to combining, the parties are at the time of the contract in agreement that the customer's ownership rights to a whole item is transferred to us pro rata (invoice value). The customer retains our (part) ownership free of charge. Equipment upon which we are entitled to a (part) ownership will be hereinafter called equipment subject to retention of title.

3. The customer is entitled treat and sell the equipment subject to retention of title as part of ordinary business dealings, as long as he is not in arrears. Pledges or grants of security are inadmissible. At the time of the contract, the customer relinquishes to us at the time of the contract any demands regarding the equipment subject to retention of title resulting from the sale of the equipment or any other legal reason (insurance, unlawful act) including any current account demands. We authorise him revocably to withdraw the demands for our invoices relinquished to us in his own name. This mandate can only be revoked when the customer does not fulfil his payment duties.

4. Should a third party gain access to the equipment subject to retention of title, the customer will refer to our ownership and will notify us immediately so that we can assert our rights of ownership. Should the third party not be able to reimburse us judicially or extra-judicially for the costs caused in this case, the customer will be held liable.

5. Should the customer be in breach of contract, especially in the case of defaulted payment, we are entitled to withdraw the equipment subject to retention of title, or, if necessary, to demand the assignment of the customer's right to recovery. The withdrawal or pledge of the equipment subject to retention of title constitutes the rescission of the contract by us.

Should several bills of exchange or checks, which were due consecutively, from a customer be dishonoured, the respite given in the acceptance of the remaining papers will be cancelled with the result that all of our demands against the customer will be payable and we can take legal action for all demands resulting from the bill of exchange or cheque.

4. The customer is not entitled to off-set any counter claims, regardless what kind - or to make use of a right of retention, unless the claims or defects are undisputed, have been recognised or legally determined.

5. Part deliveries will be calculated separately. The regulations apply accordingly. Payments made in part will first be paid onto the costs, then the interest and then onto the oldest demand, even if the debtor has stipulated something to the contrary.

VII. Liability for Defects

1. We cannot be held liable for unsuitable, or improper use, especially in the case of over-use, incorrect assembly or incorrect use by the customer or third party; by natural wear and tear, incorrect and sustainable treatment and use, especially by untrained staff.

2. The customer is obliged to examine the delivered equipment thoroughly - including when prototypes have been sent prior to delivery - immediately upon arrival for completeness and propriety. The delivery is seen as accepted, if the customer does not reprimand any defects within 8 days of receiving the equipment, or - if a defect was not apparent at the time of examination - within 8 working days of it becoming apparent, in writing, email or Telefax. If a multiple delivery is not reprimanded within 8 working days of receipt then it is seen as accepted.

We reserve the right to performance with respect to claims brought against the customer by its purchasers. In this case the demands of the customer will be deemed as satisfied when the claims of such purchasers have been satisfied.

5. We will carry the costs required for the supplementary performance, especially costs of transport, route, work and materials. This does not apply if the costs are raised, because the equipment have been delivered to a different location to the residence or commercial offices of the customer, unless its being delivered there is requisite for the proper use of the equipment.

6. The customer is to afford us the necessary time and opportunity to carry out all improvements and replacement deliveries considered requisite ex aequo. Otherwise we will consider ourselves released from the consequential damages which will occur as a result of the customer not affording us ample time and opportunity to carry out the necessary defect remedy measures or replacement deliveries. Only in cases of acute threat to operating safety, or to avoid disproportionately great damages, or if we fall into arrears with the defect remedy, the customer has the right to remedy the defect himself, or have it remedied by a third party, we are to be informed of this immediately.
