General terms and conditions of business
1. General
All of our business transactions are based solely and exclusively on our terms and conditions of sale and delivery. They apply to all cases unless we have concluded special agreements in writing with the Buyer. The Buyer’s terms and conditions of purchasing shall not be binding on us, even if we have not expressly objected to their application. We must have agreed in writing to the Buyer’s general terms and conditions of business which are in deviation to our own; otherwise, we hereby expressly object to their application.
The Buyer shall be deemed to agree to our terms and conditions of sale and delivery when he places the order and accepts the merchandise, even if such agreement is not provided in his own general terms and conditions of business. Furthermore, he hereby acknowledges that we have referred him expressly to this clause and given him the opportunity to learn of its contents. We are entitled to cancel a concluded contract if and when events of force majeure occur, unfavourable information about the Buyer is received or if, in our judgment, doubts about the Buyer’s creditworthiness arise after issue of the order confirmation or delivery.
2. Offers and Orders
Offers are non-binding; any and all price information is shown subject to change, free ex works or warehouse, excluding packaging and value-added tax. The Customer may examine sample deliveries for a period of 30 days; upon expiration of this period, he must either return the merchandise or pay for it. The Customer may not return special lights which have been manufactured in accordance with his specific instructions and must therefore pay for them. Purchase contracts shall always be deemed concluded when our order confirmation is sent in response to the order – by letter, fax or e-mail. If a separate order confirmation has not been issued previously, our invoices shall be deemed its equivalent. Purchase contracts shall be deemed concluded at the latest when all or part of the ordered merchandise is delivered to the Buyer. Annulments of orders shall be deemed valid only if we have given our written agreement. In this case, we are entitled to reasonable damage compensation corresponding to our expenses – without verification – of no less than 20% of the agreed order amount. We reserve the right to request higher damage compensation in individual cases (e.g., special lights manufactured in accordance with customer’s specific instructions). The documents attached to an offer such as technical drawings, etc., are only approximate unless expressly designated as binding. We reserve the right to adjust prices in the event of changes in prime costs, existing taxes, freight rates, etc., which affect the price of the consignment. Agreements which have been concluded orally, by telephone, by telegraph or by electronic means (Internet) shall be binding on us only if and when we have confirmed them in writing.
