    4. If the Supplier cancels the contract due to the Purchaser’s default in payment, the Supplier shall be entitled to claim liquidated damages at an amount of 20% of the net purchase price unless the Purchaser proves that less or no damages have been incurred.

    3. Any assembly of the delivery item by the Supplier shall be at the Purchaser´s expense. It is understood that assembly costs include necessary travelling, accomodation and food expenses of the assembly personnel.

For work lasting several days the Purchaser undertakes to provide the Supplier with a lockable room for the storage of his materials and equipment.
    4. The Purchaser undertakes to accept the delivery item upon delivery. The acceptance shall be deemed as granted if the Purchaser does not object within 14 days from the day of delivery, in case of assembly by the Supplier from the day of completion.

    2. In the event of the Supplier´s goods being sold, the Purchaser assigns his claim from the resale with all ancillary rights including any balance receivable to the Supplier. However, the assignment shall be limited by the invoiced price of the delivery item.
    3. If the Purchaser combines the Supplier´s goods with land or movable property, he assigns his claim for remuneration for the connection with all ancillary rights to the Supplier in the extent of the relation of the value of the Supplier´s goods to the other goods combined.
    4. The Purchaser undertakes to notify the Supplier immediately of any access to goods subject to retention of title as well as any damage or destruction. The same applies to a change of possession and storage place of the goods.
  7. Warranty, Limitations and Guarantee for Used Machines

    Warranty for material defects shall be determined by the statutory provisions. In addition, the following rules apply:

    1. If the supplementary performance fails, the Purchaser may, at his discretion, demand a reduction or rescind the contract. In the event of a minor breach, in particular but not limited to minor defects, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to rescind the contract, though.
    2. If the Purchaser rescinds the contract for legal or material defect after failed supplementary performance, he shall not be entitled to claim damages due to the defect.

      The following additional provisions apply if the delivery item is a used machine:

    3. The Supplier delivers used machines in the condition in which they are at the time of conclusion of the contract. The Purchaser's rights due to defects are excluded unless (a) the Supplier has given a guarantee for the defective component according to subsection 4 or (b) the Supplier has fraudulently concealed a defect or (c) the item lacks an assured quality. The Purchaser may inspect the delivery item before entering into the contract.
    4. If the Supplier has overhauled parts of the machine, warranty is given for a time period six months starting from the day of operation commencement - but no later than six weeks from the date of receipt of the machine by the Purchaser - for any defects in the components specified as replacement parts in the order, contract, delivery note or invoice. The warranty is limited to the Purchaser's right to demand replacement of the defective component at the Supplier´s expense. Costs for removal and installation must be borne by the Purchaser. The warranty does not comprise defects from wear and tear.
  8. Limitation of Liability

    1. The Supplier is liable in cases of intent or gross negligence in accordance with statutory provisions. Incidentally, he shall only be liable in accordance with the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), due to injury to life, limb or health or due to the culpable violation of essential contractual obligations or if he has fraudulently concealed a defect or assumed a guarantee for the quality of the delivery item. However, the claim for damages for the breach of essential contractual obligations is limited to the typical and foreseeable damage. Significant contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment characterizes the contract and on which the Purchaser may rely.
    2. The Supplier's liability for loss of earnings shall be excluded if the delay is due to the fact that the goods cannot be obtained in good time from the presupplier in spite of reasonable efforts to obtain timely receipt.
  9. Form Provision, Severability Clause, Choice of Law, Place of Jurisdiction

    1. All agreements between the Supplier and the Purchaser concerning the contract require written form in order to be effective. This also applies to a waiver of the requirement of written form.
    2. Should individual provisions of these terms and conditions prove ineffective or invalid, this shall not affect the validity of other provisions.
    3. The contract shall be governed exclusively by German law.
    4. Place of jurisdiction for disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract is Flensburg.
