I. General provisions

1. Orders only become binding with regard to type and scope of delivery after they have been confirmed by Supplier. Amendments and additions must be made in writing.
2. In the case of ongoing business relationships, these Terms shall also apply to future transactions without any explicit reference being made to them if agreed by the partners in connection with an earlier order. Should other provisions arise on the part of Purchaser or Supplier in place of these Terms, they must be expressly agreed by the partners. Should individual provisions be invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
3. Purchaser’s purchasing conditions are only binding for Supplier if explicitly acknowledged by the latter.
4. Information given by Supplier in printed matter and its information on the properties of its products is made on the basis of current technical knowledge and experience. In view of the variety of possible influences on the application of Supplier’s products that are outside its control, the user of the product is not exempted from conducting its own tests and examinations. A legally binding assurance with regard to certain properties or the suitability for a specific application cannot be deduced either expressly or implicitly.
5. Supplier reserves the right to make changes to its product range or its products at any time.

IV. Transfer of risk, packaging and shipping

1. Even in the case of shipments made on a carriage-paid basis, the risk is transferred to Purchaser when the goods leave Supplier’s site.

VI. Retention of title

1. Deliveries are made under retention of title including the extended retention of title provided this right exists in the legislation of the respective country. Otherwise corresponding agreements shall have to be made.
2. The same applies to deliveries outside the scope of these Terms, provided retention of title or extended retention of title is legally possible in the country in which the goods are located at the time of enforcement. Otherwise Purchaser undertakes to provide Supplier with all rights stipulated under the legislation of Supplier’s country to protect claims.

VII. Liability for defects / product liability

1. Defects must be notified in writing without delay and at the latest two weeks after receipt of the shipment. In the case of hidden defects, this period is extended to one week after they have been detected but no more than six months after receipt of the goods.
