General Terms and Conditions
Valid from 19 November 2025
§ 1 Scope of Application
These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply exclusively to entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB). Deviating or supplementary terms and conditions of the customer shall only apply if expressly approved in text form.
§ 2 Conclusion of Contract and Text Form
Our offers are non-binding unless expressly designated as binding. A contract is only concluded upon our written order confirmation. Side agreements, amendments and modifications require text form within the meaning of Section 126b BGB.
§ 3 Scope of Delivery and Technical Modifications
Technical specifications, illustrations, drawings and similar documents are only binding if explicitly agreed in writing. We reserve the right to make reasonable technical modifications.
§ 4 Delivery Periods and Delays
Delivery dates are non-binding unless expressly agreed as binding. In cases of force majeure or other unforeseeable and unavoidable events beyond our reasonable control, delivery periods shall be extended appropriately.
§ 5 Transfer of Risk, Shipping, Incoterms
Delivery is made EXW (Ex Works) in accordance with Incoterms® 2020 unless otherwise agreed in writing. Shipping is at the customer's risk. Packaging and transportation costs will be invoiced separately.
§ 6 Prices and Terms of Payment
All prices are net ex works in accordance with Incoterms® 2020. Price adjustments are permitted if significant cost factors — including material, energy, labour or transport costs — change materially after conclusion of the contract.
§ 7 Warranty and Liability
The customer must inspect the delivered goods immediately upon receipt and notify us of any visible defects in text form within 10 days of delivery. Hidden defects must be reported in text form within 10 days of discovery.
The statutory warranty period is 24 months from delivery. In the event of a justified defect, we shall, at our discretion, either remedy the defect or deliver a replacement.
We accept liability for intent and gross negligence. For breaches of material contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten), we also accept liability for slight negligence, limited to foreseeable, typical damages. Liability for personal injury and liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) remain unaffected.
§ 8 Retention of Title
We retain title to all delivered goods until full payment of all claims arising from the business relationship has been received. The customer hereby assigns to us, by way of security, all claims arising from any resale of the goods subject to retention of title.
§ 9 Place of Performance, Jurisdiction, Applicable Law
- The place of performance and exclusive place of jurisdiction is our registered office.
- German law applies exclusively.
