Stated prices apply and unless otherwise stated, exclude sales tax and shipping/transport costs. Agreed prices are based on the cost factors that apply at the time the agreement is concluded. We reserve the right to charge the buyer a proportional price increase with a delay of 3 months, in the event of a price increase by our suppliers and in the event of other changes in price-determining factors.

Shipping, Storage and Transport

Delivery

The rights from the seller’s order with its suppliers, which naturally precedes the delivery to our buyers, are subject to transfer to third parties. The buyer can submit a written objection to a transfer to a third party and only then has the right to demand termination of the agreement on these grounds.

Allowing partial deliveries to be made is possible. 
The delivery period used is 30 days, unless expressly agreed otherwise in the agreement.
If the delivery period of the goods is exceeded, this will only lead to default if delivery has not yet been made after a 30-day follow-up period has expired. This period starts on the day of receipt of a registered summons letter from the buyer.
If no delivery takes place even after notice of default, the buyer is entitled to cancel the agreement in writing. Failure to do so can never entitle us, not even after notice of default, to claim compensation that exceeds the invoice amount or the maximum payment under our corporate liability insurance.
