Delivery is conditioned upon timely and proper performance of all duties of the customer. Defences based on non-performance of the contract are reserved
5.2 In case of default in acceptance or other breach of duties to cooperate by the customer we are entitled to claim any resulting damage including but not limited to additional expenses, if any. Further damages are reserved. In this case, the risk of loss or damage to the goods passes to the customer at the time of such default or breach of duty to cooperate.
5.3 In the event that the financial circumstances of the ordering party deteriorate significantly (e.g. protest of bill of exchange, application to open insolvency proceedings, submission of affidavit, etc.) as well as any disclosure of insufficient credit worthiness, we are entitled to request advance payments or the provision of security or to withdraw from the agreement.
   
6. Passing of Risk, Shipment
6.1 Risk of loss or damage to the goods shall pass to the customer as follows:

6.3 The delivery deadline is kept if, by its expiration, the subject of the agreement has left the factory or if we have declared that the subject of the agreement is ready for dispatch.
6.4 If we fall in default of delivery, we shall have an extension period of two weeks. In the case of force majeure (e.g. operational failures, difficulties with raw materials, war, strikes, etc.), we are released from the delivery deadline.
   
7. Withdrawal, Request of Partial Delivery
7.1 If our contractual partner withdraws unauthorized from the agreement or unauthorized refuses satisfaction of the agreement, the contractual partner shall be obligated to pay 15 % of the gross value of the order as a lump sum in compensation unless it can prove that no damages were incurred or that damages were not incurred in this amount. The right to claim further damages is expressly retained.
7.2 Orders may then only be requested for delivery in partial quantities if this has been expressly previously agreed. Partial deliveries are excluded if the total order value is less than € 2,500.00 net, the term of the order is over six months and a single request for delivery amounts to a delivery value of less than € 1,000.00 net. If the ordering party withdraws unauthorized from the agreement, refuses satisfaction of the agreement or we are entitled to claim for damages, the regulations of aforementioned paragraph 1 shall apply. If we request neither satisfaction nor damages, we reserve the right to recalculate the prices of the quantities requested for standard parts, at the prices which would have been calculated had the order been restricted to this quantity at the onset. If the order concerns customized products, we insist on satisfaction of the order in any eventuality. Prices offered or confirmed for larger procurement quantities can not be claimed for smaller quantities. Decreased or increased efficiency of 10% of the order volume is permissible for customized products.
   
8. Retention of Title
8.1 We retain title to the delivered goods until receipt of all payments in full regarding the purchase agreement. In case of breach of contract by the customer including, without limitation, default in payment, we are entitled to take possession of the goods.
8.2 A forementioned title retention shall also apply to all claims from current and future business connections with the customers, including any current accounts.
8.3 The customer shall handle the goods with due care, maintain suitable insurance for the goods and, to the extent necessary, service and maintain the goods.

8.5 The customer may resell goods subject to the above retention of title only in the course of his regular business. For this case, the customer hereby assigns all claims arising out of such resale, whether the goods have been processed or not, to us. Notwithstanding our right to claim direct payment the customer shall be entitled to receive the payment on the assigned claims. To this end, we agree to not demand payment on the assigned claims to the extent the customer complies with all his obligations for payment and does not become subject to an application for insolvency or similar proceedings or to any stay of payments. Storage of goods delivered under retention of title shall be at the cost and risk of the customer. Decrease in value of such goods shall be borne by the customer.
8.6 Insofar as the above securities exceed the secured claim by more than 20%, we are obligated, upon our election, to release such securities upon the customer’s request.

9.1 The customer is obligated to inspect the goods immediately upon receipt of delivery and to submit defects or deviations in quantity without delay – at least within 5 days of receipt of delivery – to us in writing. The deadline shall be met by receipt of the report of defects to us. Otherwise, the goods shall be deemed as accepted and approved regarding such defect or deviation in quantity. If defects or deviation in quantity are not recognized during the inspection mentioned above and are established later, declaration thereof must be made without delay within one week after discovery at the latest. Otherwise, the goods shall be deemed as accepted and approved also as regards such defect or deviation in quantity.
9.2 In the event of founded complaints, we resolve at our discretion pursuant to sec. 439 BGB (German Civil Code) the defect or deliver a replacement.

9.3 If inspection of a complaint determines no defect, we are entitled to charge the ordering party for the costs incurred.
9.4 The customer is obligated to inform us without delay of any expected claims resulting from a supply chain. Complaints concerning a part of a delivery do not justify complaints regarding the entire delivery.

10.3 Our liability for culpable damage to life, body or health as well as our liability under the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected
   
11. Customer’s Obligations

We are entitled at our discretion to file an action against the customer at all his places of jurisdiction weather to German law or the national law of the customer.
12.3 If any individual provision herein is or becomes ineffective, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected thereby. Contractual partners shall be obligated to replace an ineffective provision with a new provision that is as close as possible to the fiscal meaning and purpose of the ineffective provision.
