1. General:
Our all - even future - deliveries and services, including ancillary services, such as counselling before and after, are based exclusively on the following conditions. The purchasing conditions of the buyer are hereby rejected; they do not oblige us, even if we do not object to them explicitly when signing the contract. At the latest with receiving of our goods, our general terms of delivery and payment are to be accepted. We expressly point to recognition of our retention of title by accepting our goods. Our offers are subject to change. Contracts and agreements - especially insofar as they deviate from our conditions - are binding to us only upon our written confirmation.2. Prices and payment:
All prices are ex works, excluding the cost of all packaging.Unless otherwise agreed upon, prices including any price supplements that are valid, as they were at the time of delivery. Insurance costs are borne by the buyer. If additional costs, such as freight costs or other charges and costs increase or arise after dispatch of the order, these additional costs will be borne by the purchaser. Payments shall be made to the exclusion of set-off or retentions within the payment terms indicated on the invoice.
With delay of payment an interest at the rate of 12% will be charged. In addition, the buyer who is in default with his payments is obliged to compensate the caused loading and collection costs incurred by his tardiness, in particular dunning and collection costs, especially to compensation. Payments will be always first credited to the interest and costs, then to capital. All our claims become due immediately, irrespective of the duration of received and credited bills, if the payment terms are not met or if circumstances become known which are suitable to reduce the creditworthiness of the buyer. Also, in such a case we are entitled to make outstanding deliveries only against advance payment or after a reasonable grace, or to withdraw from the business transaction and to claim compensation for default. In addition, we may prohibit further sale and processing of the delivered goods and request retransfer at the expense of the buyer.
We may further withdraw the direct debit pursuant to paragraph 3.
In the above cases the buyer authorizes us already now to enter his operations building to remove the goods delivered. The client is not entitled to withhold payment because of incomplete delivery, guarantee or warranty claims or complaints.

a) All of our goods are delivered under retention of title and remain our property until full payment.b) In the event of the sale of the goods by the customer the reservation of title also extends to the resulting claims of the Purchaser against its customers (sales proceeds, etc..).

c) The purchaser is not entitled for distribution without charge of the goods.
d) The customer is obliged to give us all the necessary information for the enforcement of the extended reservation of title.

Unless a special package has been agreed upon, packaging is done in the standard manner, unless the goods are shipped customary unpacked. We will take care for packaging, protection and / or other transport devices according to our experience at buyer's expense and to the exclusion of our liability.

If defects occur, handling and processing must be stopped immediately.

Should the buyer not have the opportunity to convince us of the lack, particularly if he does not make the rejected goods or samples of them immediately available, all warranty claims are eliminated.
