This shall also apply if individual or all claims of the seller have been included in a current invoice and the balance has been deducted and recognised. In the event of default of payment by the buyer, the seller shall be entitled to take back the goods after issuing a reminder and the buyer shall be obliged to surrender the goods.
7.2. If the goods subject to retention of title are processed by the buyer into a new movable item, it is agreed that the processing shall be carried out in the name and for the account of the seller as manufacturer within the meaning of § 950 BGB (German Civil Code) and that the seller shall directly acquire ownership or - if the processing is carried out from materials of several owners or the value of the processed item is higher than the value of the goods subject to retention of title - co-ownership of the newly created item in the ratio of the value of the goods subject to retention of title to the value of the newly created item at the time of processing. In the event that no such acquisition of ownership should occur on the part of the Seller, the Buyer shall already now transfer his future ownership or - in the aforementioned ratio - coownership of the newly created item to the Seller as security. If the reserved goods are combined or inseparably mixed with other items to form a uniform item (§§ 947,948 BGB), the Seller shall acquire co-ownership of the newly created item in accordance with the statutory provisions. If, as a result of the combination or mixing, one of the other items is to be regarded as the main item, the buyer, insofar as he owns the main item, hereby assigns to the seller the coownership thereof in the ratio of the value of the reserved goods to the value of the newly created item at the time of the combination or mixing. In such cases, the buyer shall keep the item owned or co-owned by the seller, which shall also be deemed to be goods subject to retention of title within the meaning of the above conditions, free of charge.
7.3. If goods subject to retention of title are sold alone or together with goods not belonging to the seller, the buyer assigns already now, i.e. at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the claims arising from the resale in the amount of the value of the goods subject to retention of title with all ancillary rights and priority over the rest; the seller accepts the assignment. The value of the goods subject to retention of title shall be the invoice amount of the Seller, which, however, shall not be taken into account if it is opposed by third party rights. If the resold goods subject to retention of title are co-owned by the seller, the assignment of the claims shall extend to the amount corresponding to the share value of the seller in the coownership.
7.4. If goods subject to retention of title are installed by the buyer as an essential component in the real estate, ship, ship under construction or aircraft of a third party, the buyer hereby assigns the assignable claims for payment arising against the third party or the party concerned in the amount of the value of the goods subject to retention of title with all ancillary rights, including the right to grant a security mortgage, with priority over the rest; the seller accepts the assignment. Paragraph 9.3, sentences 2 and 3 apply accordingly.
7.5. The buyer shall only be entitled to resell, use or install the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business and only on condition that the claims within the meaning of Sections 7.3. and 7.4. are actually transferred to the seller.

7.6. The Seller authorises the Buyer, subject to revocation, to collect the claims assigned in accordance with Clauses 9.3. to 9.5. The seller shall not make use of his own right of collection as long as the buyer meets his payment obligations, also towards third parties.

The notification shall also include the obligation of the buyer to list the extent to which these deliveries have already been settled by his customers and which claims are still outstanding in detail.
7.7. The buyer shall inform the seller immediately of any compulsory enforcement measures by third parties against the reserved goods or the assigned claims, handing over the documents necessary for the objection. The seller is entitled to demand reimbursement of the costs for judicial and extrajudicial defence against the enforcement measures from the buyer.
7.8. The right to resell, use or install the reserved goods or the authorisation to collect the assigned claims shall expire upon cessation of payments and/or filing for insolvency proceedings; the authorisation to collect shall also expire in the event of a cheque protest. This does not apply to the rights of the insolvency administrator.
7.9. If the value of the securities granted exceeds the claims by more than 10 percent, reduced by down payments and partial payments if applicable, the seller shall be obliged to retransfer or release them at his discretion.

7.10. The buyer is obliged to treat the reserved goods with care. In particular, he is obliged to sufficiently insure them at his own expense against theft, fire and water damage at replacement value. If maintenance and inspection work is to be carried out, thebuyer shall carry thisout in good time at its own expense.
8. Notice of defects, warranty and liability
8.1. The buyer shall immediately inspect the goods received for quantity and quality. Defects shall be notified to the seller in writing, otherwise the delivery shall be deemed to have been approved. The notice of defect shall be deemed to be late if recognisable defects are not notified in text form immediately after receipt of the goods. The notification of obvious defects is only timely if it is received by the Seller in text form within a period of 14 days, calculated from the date of delivery. Otherwise, §§ 377, 378 HGB (German Commercial Code) shall apply.
8.2. If the buyer discovers a defect, he is obliged to make the claimed item or samples thereof available to the seller for the purpose of examining the complaint and to grant a reasonable period of time for the examination. In the event of refusal, the warranty shall lapse. Until the inspection by the seller has been completed, the buyer may not dispose of the rejected item, i.e. it may not be divided, resold or further processed.
8.3.1. In the event of an intended installation or attachment of the goods, the Buyer shall, without prejudice to the provision in Clause 8.1, already upon receipt of the goods have the obligation to inspect the properties of the goods relevant for the installation or attachment and the subsequent intended use and to notify the Seller of any defects in text form without undue delay, insofar as an inspection of these properties is reasonable at this point in time according to the type and condition of
the goods. If the notification of defects with regard to the properties mentioned in sentence 1 is not made despite the inspection being reasonable, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved in this respect. In this case, the buyer shall not be entitled to any defect rights with regard to such defects.
8.3.2. If, in the event of installation or fitting of the goods, the buyer fails to check the relevant external and internal properties of the goods before installation or fitting and the subsequent intended use, he shall be guilty of gross negligence. In this case, he may only assert claims for defects with regard to these properties if the defect in question is fraudulently concealed or a guarantee for the quality of the item has been assumed by the seller.
8.4. In the event of justified complaints, the Seller shall be entitled to determine the type of subsequent performance (replacement delivery, rectification), taking into account the type of defect and the justified interests of the Buyer.
8.5. The purchaser's claims for defects shall become statute-barred after 12 months, calculated from delivery. This shall not apply insofar as the law pursuant to § 438 para. 1 no. 2 BGB (buildings and items for buildings), § 438 para. 3 BGB (fraudulent concealment), §§ 445a/b BGB (recourse) or § 634a para. 1 no. 2 BGB (construction defects) provides for longer periods.
8.6. The seller shall not assume any warranty for the acceptance of repair orders or for modifications and conversions of used or third-party goods. When carrying out a repair or commissioning, the seller expressly assumes no warranty or liability for the functioning of the overall system in which the repaired component was or is installed, the correct dimensioning of the overall system and the use of the repaired component in the overall system.
8.7. In the case of the purchase of used goods, the buyer's warranty claims are excluded in their entirety.
8.8. Claims for defects do not exist in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality, in the case of only insignificant impairment of usability, in the case of natural wear and tear. If the goods are used other than for the contractually agreed purpose (e.g. with unsuitable operating materials, unsuitable building ground or special external influences, improper repair work or modifications), no claims for defects shall exist.
8.9. Claims of the buyer for expenses incurred for the purpose of subsequent performance, in particular transport, travel, labour and material costs, are excluded insofar as the expenses increase or arise because the goods have been taken to a place other than the buyer's branch office, unless this corresponds to their intended use.
8.10. If the buyer has installed the goods that were defective at the time of the transfer of risk in another item or attached them to another item in accordance with their type and intended use, he can only demand reimbursement of expenses from the seller for the removal of the defective goods and the installation or attachment of the reworked or delivered goods that are free of defects (so-called removal costs and installation costs) in accordance with the following provisions. The same shall apply in the event that the Buyer has to bear such expenses in relation to its customer pursuant to Sections 439 (3), 445a, 475 (4) BGB.
8.11. Required in the sense of § 439 para. 3 BGB (German Civil Code) are only such removal and installation costs which concern the removal and installation or the fitting of identical products, have been incurred on the basis of customary market conditions and are proven to the Seller by the Buyer by submitting suitable receipts at least in text form. Any right of the buyer to advance payment for removal and installation costs shall be excluded. The Buyer is also not permitted to unilaterally offset claims for reimbursement of expenses for removal and installation costs against purchase price claims or other payment claims of the Seller without the Seller's consent. Claims of the buyer exceeding the necessary removal costs and installation costs, in particular costs for consequential damage caused by defects, such as loss of profit, business interruption costs or additional costs for replacement purchases, are not removal costs and installation costs and are therefore not to be reimbursed within the scope of subsequent performance pursuant to § 439 para. 3 BGB.
8.12. Claims under a right of recourse pursuant to §§ 445a/b of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall only exist if the Buyer's customer's recourse was justified and only to the extent stipulated by law, but not for goodwill provisions not agreed with the Seller. Claims under a right of recourse also presuppose that the party entitled to recourse has complied with its own obligations, in particular its obligations to examine the goods and to give notice of defects.
8.13. If the expenses claimed by the buyer for subsequent performance are disproportionate within the meaning of Sections 439 (2) and (3), 445a of the German Civil Code (BGB) in the individual case, in particular in relation to the purchase price of the goods in a defect-free condition and taking into account the significance of the lack of conformity, the seller shall be entitled to refuse to reimburse the expenses. Disproportionality shall be deemed to exist in any case, if the expenses claimed within the meaning of § 439 (2) and (3) BGB exceed a value of 150% of the purchase price of the goods in a defect-free condition or 200% of the reduced value of the goods due to the defect.
8.14. In the event of unjustified notices of defects, the Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for the costs incurred by the Seller as a result, provided that the Buyer has recognised or culpably failed to recognise that there is no defect, but that the cause of the phenomenon complained of by him lies within his area of responsibility.
9. Claims for damages
Claims for damages by the buyer, irrespective of the legal grounds, in particular from impossibility, delay, defective or incorrect delivery, breach of contract, breach of duties during contract negotiations and tort, are excluded for slight negligence. This exclusion of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, body or health and in the event of a slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations. In cases of slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, liability shall be
limited to compensation for the typical damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract. Indirect damage or consequential damage shall only be compensable insofar as it is typically to be expected when using the goods as intended. The above exclusions and limitations of liability shall apply to the same extent in favour of the organs, legal representatives, employees and other vicarious agents of the Seller. Insofar as the Seller or its vicarious agents provide technical information or act in an advisory capacity without this being contractually owed, this shall be done free of charge and to the exclusion of any liability.
10. Jurisdiction and applicable law
10.1. The place of performance and jurisdiction for deliveries and payments as well as all disputes arising between the parties shall be the headquarters of the seller, insofar as the buyer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. However, the seller is also entitled to sue the buyer at the buyer's registered office.
10.2. The legal assessment of the relations between the contracting parties shall be governed exclusively by the formal and substantive law applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods. international commercial provisions (CISG). Also excluded are mandatory provisions of German private international law which would lead to the application of foreign legal norms or foreign jurisdictions.
11. Severability clause and written form
11.1 Should individual provisions be invalid, partially invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In place of the ineffective, partially ineffective or unenforceable provisions, the parties agree to set a provision that comes closest to the meaning and purpose of the ineffective, partially ineffective or unenforceable provision. If the parties fail to reach such an agreement, the invalid, partially invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced, at the parties' option, by the legal provision that comes closest to the meaning and purpose of the invalid, partially invalid or unenforceable provision.
11.2 Amendments and supplements must be made in writing. This also applies to the waiver of this written form clause.

Invoice receivables shall become due immediately upon conclusion of the contract, i.e. after receipt of the order confirmation or receipt of the order (cf. 2.3. of these GTC) and are payable without deduction.

7.2. If the seller is unable to deliver the ordered goods through no fault of his own because the upstream supplier has not fulfilled his contractual obligations, or if the ordered goods are not available for a period of at least one month due to force majeure, the seller may withdraw from the purchase contract. The Seller shall inform the Buyer immediately in the event of such delivery difficulties. In the event of a withdrawal in accordance with this paragraph, the Seller shall immediately reimburse the Buyer for any payments already made. Any other legal claims of the buyer shall remain unaffected.

9. Liability
Claims for damages by the buyer, irrespective of the legal grounds, in particular from impossibility, delay, defective or incorrect delivery, breach of contract, breach of duties during contract negotiations and tort, are excluded for slight negligence. This exclusion of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, body or health and in the event of a slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations. In cases of slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, liability shall be limited to compensation for the typical damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract. Indirect damage or consequential damage shall only be compensable insofar as it is typically to be expected when using the goods as intended. The above exclusions and limitations of liability shall apply to the same extent in favour of the organs, legal representatives, employees and other vicarious agents of the Seller. Insofar as the Seller or its vicarious agents provide technical information or act in an advisory capacity without this being contractually owed, this shall be done free of charge and to the exclusion of any liability.
