§ 2 Conclusion of the contracts, storage of the contract text

We do not store the contract text after the contract has been concluded.

If we are in default of performance due to slight negligence, if performance has become impossible or if we have breached a material contractual obligation, liability for property damage and financial loss resulting therefrom shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. A material contractual obligation is one whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract, whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on whose compliance you may regularly rely. This includes in particular our obligation to take action and fulfill the contractually owed service, which is described in § 3.

§ 8 Contract language

§ 9 Notification of defects and warranty

(1) Complaints regarding incorrect delivery, incomplete delivery or defects in the goods must be received by us in writing and specified no later than one week after acceptance of the goods, unless the defects are hidden.

(3) In the event of a timely and justified notice of defects, we shall provide warranty at our discretion by repair or replacement delivery; in both cases we shall bear the necessary transportation costs to the customer’s registered office, provided that this location is in Germany.

The customer shall only be entitled to rescind the contract or reduce the remuneration if the repair or replacement delivery has been unsuccessful twice.

(4) If the Buyer is an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB, we shall not be liable for consequential damage caused by a defect, unless the item delivered by us lacks a warranted characteristic and this warranty was specifically intended to protect against consequential damage caused by a defect of the type that has actually occurred or we or one of our vicarious agents can be accused of gross negligence or intent.

(5) Special warranty declarations of the manufacturers of the goods sold shall be assigned by us to the Buyer in full. They do not establish any obligation on our part

(6) If the buyer is an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB, the limitation period applicable to the buyer for claims due to defects of the delivered new goods shall be extended in deviation from § 438 para. 1 no. 3 BGB shortened to 1 year. The warranty is excluded for used goods.

§ 10 Final provisions/dispute resolution

(1) German law shall apply exclusively. In the case of consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer’s habitual residence is not withdrawn (principle of favorability).

(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.

(3) If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from contractual relationships between the customer and the provider is the registered office of the provider.
