The following Terms and Conditions of Sale, Delivery, and Payment apply exclusively to our deliveries and sales. Any terms and conditions of purchase of the buyer that deviate from these shall apply only in exceptional cases if they have been expressly confirmed by the seller. Should any part of these terms and conditions or of the delivery transaction be invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining terms and conditions or of the delivery transaction. In such a case, the contracting parties shall agree on a new provision to replace the invalid provision that most closely approximates the purpose intended by the invalid provision.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documents accompanying the offer\u2014such as illustrations, drawings, and weight and dimensional specifications\u2014are binding for the execution of the order only if they have been expressly confirmed. The supplier reserves ownership and copyright to cost estimates, drawings, and other documents: They must not be made available to third parties. The customer is obligated to make plans designated as confidential by the supplier available to third parties only with the supplier\u2019s consent. Any agreement with our representatives requires our express written confirmation. This applies in particular to orders accepted.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. The prices in effect at the time the order is placed apply. Value-added tax (VAT) is not included in the price and will be billed separately at the applicable statutory rate. A shipping fee in the specified amount will be charged for each delivery.<br\/>Should production costs increase by more than 5% between the date of the sales confirmation and the date of delivery\u2014for example, due to changes in exchange rates, labor costs, or other cost factors\u2014the seller reserves the right to increase prices accordingly or to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the buyer shall not be entitled to claims for damages due to non-performance or partial non-performance.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Delivery will be made at the time specified in the order confirmation, ex works or from the warehouse. We reserve the right to deliver quantities up to 10% less or more than the ordered amounts. With regard to the dimensions specified for our goods, we reserve the right to allow for deviations customary in the trade, unless we have expressly guaranteed compliance with the dimensions. Reliable shipment of the ordered goods is ensured by carriers commissioned by us. The parties agree that, in the event of a dispute, the burden of proof regarding the non-receipt of a delivery rests with the purchaser.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The delivery time is approximate and begins upon dispatch of the order confirmation, but not before the customer has provided the necessary documents, approvals, and clearances, nor before receipt of any agreed-upon down payment. The delivery period is deemed to have been met if, by the time it expires, the goods have left the factory or notification of readiness for shipment has been provided. The delivery period shall be extended appropriately in the event of unforeseen obstacles beyond the supplier\u2019s control or those of its subcontractors, e.g., operational disruptions, scrap, or delays in the delivery of essential raw materials and construction materials, provided that such obstacles affect the completion or delivery of the goods; this applies even if they occur during a delay in delivery.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compliance with the delivery deadline is contingent upon the purchaser\u2019s fulfillment of its contractual obligations. All deliveries are ex works and are shipped at the recipient\u2019s risk, even if delivery on a free-on-board (FOB), cost-and-freight (CIF), or carriage-paid basis has been agreed upon. Any additional freight costs arising from special circumstances\u2014in particular, the purchaser\u2019s requests or the nature of the goods (bulky goods, goods of exceptional size)\u2014shall be borne by the purchaser. If shipment is delayed due to the purchaser\u2019s fault, the risk shall pass to the purchaser as of the date the goods are ready for shipment. Delays or disruptions in delivery resulting from force majeure\u2014including mobilization and war, operational disruptions of any kind, strikes, and lockouts, shortages of raw materials and fuels, and unforeseen measures\u2014even if our suppliers are affected by these circumstances\u2014entitle us to suspend our existing delivery obligations in whole or in part, without the customer being entitled to any claims for compensation, including those under \u00a7 325 of the German Civil Code (BGB). This also applies in the event of only partial non-performance of the contract. Failure by the buyer to fulfill its obligations, or circumstances that render the delivery of sold goods impossible or cause excessive delay or difficulty, entitle the seller to suspend its delivery obligation in whole or in part for the duration of the hindrance or its aftereffects, as well as in all cases of force majeure, official measures, operational disruptions, and the like, including those affecting the Seller\u2019s suppliers. The Seller is not obligated to make a subsequent delivery of the quantities corresponding to this period. These events entitle the Seller to withdraw from the contract without being liable for damages. The purchaser\u2019s obligation to pay damages remains unaffected by this provision. Partial deliveries are permitted unless expressly agreed otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The call-offs of the individual partial services shall be made as far as possible in equal periods and quantities and in such a timely manner that proper manufacture and delivery is possible within the contractual period, otherwise the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract or to demand compensation for the additional costs incurred. If a time limit for the delivery schedule is not specified, a period of 4 months shall be deemed agreed. In the event of delays in partial deliveries, the Purchaser may not assert any rights in respect of the remaining partial quantities. If an acceptance period has been specified, the Seller shall not be obliged to make deliveries beyond its expiry.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. For machines or plant components, the supplier shall provide a warranty for apparent and hidden defects or the absence of warranted characteristics within 6 months, but for no more than 1,000 operating hours, from the date of delivery, exclusively by, at his discretion, either repairing the goods free of charge or delivering replacement goods free of defects. No liability is assumed for material defects that could not be detected by the Supplier during processing. Under this warranty, normal wear and tear, wear parts, consumables, downtime, or indirect damages of any kind, labor and travel costs, compensation for overtime and Sunday work, freight costs, and other consequential damages shall not be covered. Notices of defects must be submitted in writing without delay, no later than 10 days after delivery of the goods, and in the case of hidden defects, no later than three days after the defect is discovered. If these deadlines are not met, warranty claims can no longer be asserted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for third-party parts incorporated into the purchased item, the warranty period of the manufacturer of those parts shall apply.     <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For adhesive tapes and similar products, claims regarding defects in the goods must be submitted in writing immediately upon discovery, but no later than 10 days after receipt of the shipment, without prejudice to any prior statutory obligation to report defects. If the complaint is accepted, the goods will be taken back and, at our discretion, either replaced or refunded up to the amount of the invoice value; if a replacement shipment is defective, the customer may demand a price reduction. Any further claims by the purchaser, in particular for rescission, a price reduction, or damages, are excluded. The purchaser may not assert any rights regarding the remaining partial quantities due to defective partial deliveries. Recommendations or suggestions made by our technical staff are based on practical experience. However, they are non-binding and do not relieve the buyer of the obligation to conduct their own tests and trials. The seller assumes no liability for the suitability of the delivered goods for the purposes intended by the buyer. Nor can such liability be derived from any informational brochure or instruction manual issued by us. Liability for direct or indirect damages in connection with the processing or use of the goods is excluded.        <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The supplier is not obligated to repair or replace the goods as long as the purchaser fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. The warranty obligation shall lapse if the delivered goods are modified, mishandled, operated, or processed improperly, or if the manufacturer\u2019s relevant instructions are violated. If attempts to remedy defects are carried out or arranged without the supplier\u2019s consent, the warranty shall also be void. Any other claims by the purchaser based on defects or the absence of warranted characteristics are excluded. We are entitled to make reasonable partial deliveries.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. If, after the order has been accepted or fulfilled, circumstances come to light from which it can be inferred that the buyer\u2019s creditworthiness has declined and that the seller\u2019s claims are at risk, the seller is entitled, in addition to the provisions of \u00a7 321 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and notwithstanding any differently agreed terms of payment, to demand, at its discretion, either immediate security or immediate cash payment. It is sufficient if the claims turn out to have been at risk only temporarily. The same applies if the buyer defaults on an obligation incumbent upon them, such as payment or acceptance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. The goods remain the property of the seller until all current claims arising from the business relationship have been satisfied. Until then, the buyer is not entitled to pledge the goods or assign them as security without the seller\u2019s consent. In the event of attachment, seizure, or other dispositions by third parties, the buyer must notify us immediately. Our assertion of the retention of title shall not be deemed a withdrawal from an unfulfilled delivery contract. The buyer is entitled to process the delivered goods within the scope of its ordinary business operations.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seller shall be entitled to co-ownership of the new items created through processing or combination with other goods in proportion to the value of the delivered goods relative to the value of the new item. To the extent that ownership of the goods is extinguished as a result of the processing or combination, the Buyer hereby transfers ownership of the item resulting from the processing to the Seller as security for all claims under paragraph 1; to this extent, the Buyer shall store the principal item for the Seller free of charge, with the care customary in the trade, and separate from the Buyer\u2019s other goods. The purchaser hereby assigns to the seller, as security, all claims arising from the sale of the goods delivered by us, regardless of whether they are in a processed or unprocessed state. As long as the purchaser duly fulfills its payment obligations, it is authorized to collect these receivables on behalf of the seller.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the Seller is entitled to notify the purchasers (third parties) to be designated at the Seller\u2019s request of the transfer and to issue instructions to them. The buyer must immediately notify the seller of any third-party claims to the goods delivered under retention of title or to the assigned receivables. The goods subject to retention of title must be handled with care and insured against fire and water damage; any insurance claims arising in the event of damage must be assigned to us. If the security interests exceed the Seller\u2019s receivables to be insured by more than 20%, the Seller shall, at its discretion and upon request, release the excess security interests.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Please refer to the order confirmations we have sent you for the terms of payment. Bills of exchange and checks are accepted for payment only by express agreement, subject to the usual reservations, and are considered payment only after they have been cashed. Any associated charges for discounting, collection, etc., shall be borne by the customer. The seller assumes no liability for the timely presentation, protest, or return of the bill of exchange in the event of non-payment. The purchaser is prohibited from asserting any right of retention\u2014including on the grounds of a complaint. A cash discount deduction from new invoices is not permitted as long as older, due invoices remain unpaid. If the buyer is in default of payment, the seller is entitled, subject to further rights, to charge interest at a rate of 5% above the currently applicable discount rate of the Deutsche Bundesbank from the due date until the date of payment, without the need for a reminder.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. The place of performance is 42277 Wuppertal. For all disputes arising from this contract, the subject-matter jurisdiction of the local courts is agreed upon. Furthermore, the local jurisdiction of the Wuppertal-Elberfeld Local Court is agreed upon in the event that<br\/>a) the purchaser is a merchant but does not fall under the category of business operators specified in \u00a7 4 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).<br\/>b) after the conclusion of the contract, the customer relocates his domicile or habitual residence outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany or West Berlin, or his domicile or habitual residence is unknown at the time the action is filed. Unless otherwise specified above, the statutory provisions shall apply.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. For adhesive tapes and similar products, the AFERA Terms and Conditions\u2014latest edition\u2014apply, unless modified by the general terms and conditions set forth above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10. personal data will be stored by us in the manner permitted by the Data Protection Act.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
