(1) All offers, sales contracts, deliveries and services made on the basis of any orders by our customers (each, a „Customer“) shall be governed by these general terms and conditions (the „General Terms and Conditions“).
(2) The General Terms and Conditions shall only apply if Customer is a Business Customer or a legal entity or special fund organized under public law. For the purpose of these General Terms and Conditions a „Business Customer“ is an individual, company or partnership vested with legal capacity who enters into the relevant contract in the conduct of its business or its self-employed professional activity (Sec. 14 (1) of the German Civil Code).
(3) Standard business conditions of the Customer do not apply, regardless of whether or not we expressly object to them in a particular case.
(4) Our contracts with the Customer shall be made exclusively in the German or English language. Therefore, if the order is made in German, exclusively the German version of these General Terms and Conditions shall be relevant. If the order is made in English, exclusively the English version of these General Terms and Conditions shall be relevant.
(1) Our offerings shown in the internet are non-binding.
(2) Unless otherwise noted in our offer, we shall be bound to our offers and suggested prices for 14 calendar days after dispatch. The Customer shall be entitled to accept the offer within this period. The date and time we receive the Customers acceptance decides whether this time limit has been adhered to.
(1) Our prices are understood to be exclusive of the statutory value-added tax and shipping costs. Any customs duties and similar public charges shall be borne by the Customer. All fees related to the payment process are to be borne by the Customer.
(2) Unless expressly otherwise agreed by us, all shipments by us will be made upon receipt of an invoice. However, we are entitled at any time, even in the context of an ongoing business relationship, to carry out a delivery in whole or in part only in advance. We declare a corresponding reservation at the latest with the order confirmation. The payment on account is for new customers during the first transaction or order not possible.
(3) In the event that we have agreed to payment after delivery, our invoices shall be due and payable by the Customer within 10 business days upon receipt by the Customer of the product and the invoice unless otherwise agreed.
(4) The Customer shall have no right of set-off or retention, except to the extent that the counterclaim has not been disputed by us or been determined by a final and binding decision.
(5) If it becomes apparent after the conclusion of the contract (eg by application for the opening of insolvency proceedings) that our claim to receive the agreed remuneration is endangered by a lack of efficiency of the customer, we are entitled to withdraw from the contract according to the statutory provisions and - if applicable – after setting a deadline (Contract is entitled (Sec. 321 of the German Civil Code).
(1) Any date of dispatch communicated by us shall be only approximate and may therefore be exceeded by up to two business days, except if a fixed date of dispatch has been agreed upon.
(2) Any time period relevant to determine the date of dispatch pursuant to this Section 4 (as specified by us when the order is made or as otherwise agreed upon) shall begin (a) if advance payment has been agreed, upon receipt by us of the full purchase price (including VAT and shipping costs) or (b) if payment after delivery has been agreed, upon the conclusion of the sales contract.
(3) The date of dispatch shall be such day on which the product is handed over by us to the carrier.
(4) Regardless of whether any product is indicated on the order form as „in stock“, we may sell such product at any time, provided that
In such cases, we shall only be obligated to dispatch the product within the time period agreed upon or indicated by us as long as stock lasts.

(6) In the event that our supplier fails to deliver in a timely manner a product that has been indicated on the order form as „not in stock“ or has been sold off in accordance with subsection 4 above, any applicable delivery period pursuant to this Section 4 shall be deemed to be extended until delivery is made by our supplier plus an additional period of three business days, but in no event by a period of more than three weeks, provided that our supplier's failure to timely supply the products is not a result of our fault or negligence and we have without undue delay ordered the relevant products from the supplier.
(7) In the event that the product is no longer available or cannot be timely delivered, for any of the reasons set out in subsection 6, we shall without undue delay inform the Customer thereof. If the product is no longer available from our suppliers within the foreseeable future, we shall be entitled to terminate the sales contract. In case of such termination, we shall without undue delay reimburse the Customer any payments which the Customer has made to us in respect of the order. The legal rights of the Customer resulting from late delivery shall not be affected by this provision; provided, however, that the Customer may claim damages only subject to the provisions of Section 9 of these General Terms and Conditions.
(8) Partial deliveries of products included in the same order shall be permitted, provided that the products can be used separately and provided further that we shall bear any additional shipping costs caused thereby.

(2) We shall only be obliged to properly and timely deliver the product to the carrier and shall not be responsible for any delays caused by the carrier. Any transit times specified by us shall therefore only be non-binding estimates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, we have agreed to carry out any assembly or installation work at the customer’s place, we shall timely complete such work and deliver the product to the customer at the time that has been contractually agreed upon.
(1) We retain legal title to any product supplied by us until the purchase price (including VAT and shipping costs) for such product has been fully paid. The receipt of money in the account we have specified shall be the determining factor.

(1) In the event of a defect of the delivered product, the Customer shall be entitled to request from us to repair the defect or to supply another product (as ordered) which is free from defects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Customer is a Business Customer, we shall have the right to choose between any such remedies at our discretion, provided that such choice shall be made by us by written notice (in „text form“, including by telefax or by e-mail) within a period of three business days following receipt of the Customer’s notice of the defect. We may refuse to remedy a defective product in the manner requested by the Customer if such remedy would result in unreasonable costs.
(2) If the remedy (supplementary performance) pursuant to Section 7 (1) fails or cannot reasonably be expected from the Customer or we refuse to remedy the defect, the Customer shall be entitled to terminate the sales contract, reduce the purchase price or claim damages or frustrated expenses, in each case in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that damage claims of the Customer shall be subject to the provisions contained in Section 9 of these General Terms and Conditions.
(3) Unless otherwise agreed, the warranty period shall be one year upon delivery of the Product.
(4) The Customer shall promptly upon delivery inspect the product with due care. The delivered product shall be deemed to be approved by the Customer unless the defect is notified to us (i) in case of any obvious defects within a period of five business days upon delivery or (ii) otherwise within five business days from the day when the defect has been identified. Also any software defect shall be reported immediately after the Customer becomes aware of them.
(5) A remedy may also be provided by giving instructions to the Customer to circumvent or avoid operating errors.
(6) The expenses necessary for the purpose of the examination and supplementary performance, in particular transport, travel, labor and material costs as well as possibly removal and installation costs shall be borne or reimbursed in accordance with the statutory provisions if a defect actually exists. Otherwise, we may demand compensation from the buyer for the costs arising from the unjustified defect removal request (in particular inspection and transport costs), unless the lack of defectiveness was not recognizable to the customer.
(7) We are entitled to make the owed supplementary performance dependent on the fact that the customer pays the due purchase price. However, the customer is entitled to retain a part of the purchase price that is appropriate in relation to the defect.
(8) If the supplementary performance has failed or if a reasonable period to be set by the customer for the subsequent performance has expired without success or is unnecessary in accordance with the statutory provisions, the customer may withdraw from the purchase contract or reduce the purchase price. In case of a minor defect, however, there is no right of withdrawal.
(1) If we are instructed to provide programming services, the customer must ensure that it has the necessary authorizations / licenses to change the original programming.

(1) Our liability for damages, for whatever legal reason, in particular for impossibility, delay, inadequate or incorrect delivery, breach of contract, breach of obligations in contract negotiations and tort, is limited according to this Sec. 9 insofar as it is at fault in all cases.
(2) Our liability for late delivery shall, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, be limited to an amount equal to 5 % of the aggregate purchase price (including VAT).
(3) In the case of simple negligence of our bodies, legal representatives, employees or other vicarious agents we shall not be liable unless it is not a violation of essential contractual obligations. Essential to the contract are the obligation to timely delivery and installation of the delivery item, whose freedom from defects in title and possesses and other material defects that affect its functionality or serviceability more than just insignificantly, as well as advisory, protective and custody duties that enable the Customer to use the contractual item or the protection of the life or limb of the Customer's personnel or the protection of their property from significant damage.
(4) Insofar as we are liable for damages in accordance with Sec. 9 (3), this liability is limited to damages which we foresaw at the conclusion of the contract as a possible consequence of a breach of contract or which we should have foreseen by applying due diligence. Indirect damage and consequential damage, which are the result of defects of the delivery item, are also only substitutable insofar as such damage can typically be expected in the case of the intended use of the delivery item. Liability for production losses of the Customer is excluded.
(5) We have a appropriate product liability insurance/third party insurance. In the event of liability for simple negligence, our obligation to make compensation for property damage and the resulting further financial losses is limited to the amount insured by us, even if this is a case of infringement of obligations essential to the contract. This amount corresponds to the current coverage of EUR 5,000,000, or for IT-specific risks between EUR 100,000 to EUR 300,000. We will send you the terms of insurance upon request.
(6) Any exclusion or limitation of liability in this Terms shall also apply to the benefit of our agents and servants.
