Eventually the purchase price is tobe paid clear (without deduction) within 30 days of invoice date. The legal regulations concerning the default of payment apply. It’s up to thecustomer to pay their obligations in cash. In case of noncash payments the timeliness of the payment depends on the credit of the purchaseprice on our business account.

A binding date is met, if before its expiration the readiness for dispatch is notified or the deliveryitem has left our or our sub-supplier’s warehouse. The delivery dates extends in case of actions such as industrial actions, particularly strikes andlockout and also in case of unforeseen obstacles, which are out of will, e.g. business disruption, delay in supply of essential materials, if suchobstacles are of verifiable importance for the delivery of the delivery item.

If the buyer refrains from reporting, the goods count as approved unless it’s about defects that could not be detected during the check. If such a fault comes up later, report has to be made immediately. Otherwise the goods count as approved also in consideration of that defect. To preserve the buyer’s rights, the timely dispatch of the report is sufficient. Our customer’s also have to check, if any other than the agreed goods have been delivered and if the agreed amount is exceeded or too low. The buyer has to mind the washing, caring and handling instructions and to advise the customers of them.

(2) Normally a prompt notice of defects, according to § 377 HGB is existent, if our customer in written reports visible defects or wrong amounts within 5 days of receipt.

If our customers chooses the removal of defect we are obligated to bear the costs for transport, way, labor and material, if it does not increase because the item(s) are transported to a different place than the destination and for the rest, if the performance is not in proportion to a success by repair. If our customers demand delivery of new, defect-free goods, according to § 439 Abs. 1 BGB, we are allowed to claim refund from our customers of the defect goods, according to regulations of withdrawal (§§ 346 — 348 BGB).

(5) If the removal of defects or the delivery of new, defect-free goods fails, our customers are entitled to a withdrawal or a reduction.

Also in this case our liability is limited to the predictable, typically occurring damage. If our customers claim compensation instead of performance according to § 281 BGB, the contractual claim for performance according to § 281 Abs. 4 BGB lapses.

(9) Liability because of culpable violation of life of body or health remains unaffected; that also applies for the compulsory liability according to the product liability act. The limitation of warranty claims is 12 months from the time of passing of risk.
