In the event that you do not fulfil your payment obligation towards us, we reserve the right to collect the receivables ourselves.
Upon request, we shall release the security to which we are entitled if the realisable value of our security exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The choice of the security to be released is solely at our discretion.

§ 10
Warranty

  1. If you place your order as a consumer, the warranty is provided in accordance with the statutory provisions.
  2. If you place your order with us as an entrepreneur, the following applies:

    (2.1) The entrepreneur shall inspect the delivered goods without delay, insofar as this is feasible in the ordinary course of business, and notify defects without delay. If the entrepreneur fails to give notice, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not recognisable during the inspection. If such a defect is discovered later, the notification must be made immediately after discovery, otherwise the goods shall be deemed to have been approved also in view of this defect. §377 HGB remains unaffected. This clause shall also apply in the event of recourse by the entrepreneur in accordance with § 478 BGB.

    (2.2) If the goods prove to be defective, the seller is entitled to determine the type of non-performance, taking into account the type of defect and the legitimate interests of the entrepreneur. Depending on the nature of the defect and the other circumstances, the seller is also entitled to remedy the defect several times by way of subsequent performance (with up to three attempts). This clause does not apply in the event of recourse by the entrepreneur in accordance with §478 BGB.

    (2.3) The limitation period for claims for defects, including claims for damages, is one year, unless the law in §§ 438 para. 1 no. 2 and 634a para. 1 no. 2 1st alternative prescribes longer periods. BGB prescribes longer periods. This clause shall also not apply in the event of recourse by the entrepreneur pursuant to §478 BGB, for claims for damages due to injury to life, body or health or due to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the seller or by his vicarious agents.

§ 11
Liability

  1. If you place your order as a consumer, the statutory provisions apply to damages.
  2. If you place your order as an entrepreneur, the following applies: Unlimited liability on the part of the seller, its legal representatives or vicarious agents shall only apply in the event of intent, in accordance with the provisions of the Product Liability Act and in the event of damage arising from the injury to life, body and health of persons.
  3. Furthermore, in the event of negligence, the Seller, its legal representative or vicarious agents shall only be liable to the amount of the damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. In the event of slight negligence, the Seller shall furthermore only be liable in the event of a breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation). Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligation). An essential contractual obligation of the seller is in particular, but not exclusively, the transfer of the object of purchase and the provision of ownership.

§ 12

Salvatory clause

Should individual provisions of this agreement be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of this agreement as a whole. The parties undertake to replace any invalid / unenforceable provision with a provision that comes as close as possible to what is legally and economically intended in a legally permissible manner. The same shall apply in the event of a loophole requiring supplementation.
