1. Scope of Application:
These terms and conditions of sale apply to all current and future transactions and contracts.
2. Documents Handed Over:
We reserve the property rights and copyrights to all documents provided to the customer in connection with placing the order, such as calculations, drawings, etc. These documents may not be made accessible to third parties unless we give the customer our consent. These documents may not be made accessible to third parties unless we give our express written permission.
3. Prices and Payments:
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, our prices are ex-works plus VAT at the applicable rate. Payments must be made exclusively to the bank account specified in the invoice. In the event of default in payment, interest and expenses customary in banking will be charged.
4 Delivery Time/Execution
The delivery time stated by us presupposes the timely and proper fulfilment of the purchaser's obligations. Should the start of work be delayed for reasons not attributable to the Contractor, or should delays occur during assembly, the completion date shall be postponed by the corresponding days. The Contractor shall not be liable for delays that are due to chance and/or are the fault of other companies or the client. The client shall ensure proper accessibility to the construction site and provide a lockable room for the installation duration. After acceptance has taken place, the client must report any defects to the Contractor in writing, at the latest within eight days after they become apparent, giving a concrete description of the defect's nature. Otherwise, any legal claim shall be forfeited. The Contractor's liability is limited to the defect's rectification and does not extend to indirect damage and loss of profit.
Should our suppliers fail to meet the agreed delivery dates, we reserve the right to use other suppliers.
5. Transfer of Risk on Dispatch:
If the goods are shipped to the customer at the customer's request, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods shall pass to the customer upon dispatch, at the latest upon leaving the factory/warehouse. This applies irrespective of whether the goods are dispatched from the place of performance or who bears the freight costs.
6. Retention of Ownership:
We retain ownership of the delivered item until full payment of all claims arising from the delivery contract (Art. 1523 of the Civil Code). That also applies to all future deliveries, even if we do not always expressly refer to this. We are entitled to take back the object of sale if the customer acts in breach of contract.
7. Warranty and Notice of Defects:
Claims for defects against private individuals are regulated by law and are valid for 2 years. Claims for defects against companies become time-barred 12 months after delivering the goods supplied by us to our customer.
Claims for defects do not exist in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality, in the case of only insignificant impairment of usability, in the case of natural wear and tear as well as in the case of damage which occurs after the transfer of risk as a result of incorrect or negligent handling, excessive stress, unsuitable operating materials, defective construction work, unsuitable building ground or due to special external influences which are not assumed under the contract. If the purchaser or third parties carry out improper repair work or modifications, there shall also be no claims for defects for these and the resulting consequences.
