1.    General information
 
1.1  These General Terms of Purchase shall apply to all of our – also future – enquiries and orders as well as to all –  also  future  –  supply  contracts  concluded  with  the supplier and other agreements, which are reached with
the supplier in connection with orders. Possible terms and conditions of the supplier are hereby also objected to  for  the  event  that  they  are  transmitted  to  us  in  a letter  of  confirmation  or  in  any  other  manner  or  we accept the delivery or service of the  supplier without objecting to his terms and conditions once again.
 
 
2    Offers and orders    
 
2.1  Our  enquiries  are  non-binding.  Our  order  number  and the order date are to be quoted in all correspondence.
2.2  Offers of the supplier are free and non-binding for us. The  supplier  must  inform  us  of  deviations  from  the enquiry documents in the offer.
2.3  No remuneration will be paid for visits as well as the drawing up of plans, drawings,  expert’s opinions, etc. without an express written agreement.
2.4  Orders  must  be  made  in  writing.  Oral  collateral agreements concerning the order shall only be binding if we confirm these in writing. This shall also apply to subsequent addendums and amendments.  
2.5  In the event that machines or systems, which are to be produced, are ordered we can control the execution of the order at the supplier and his components suppliers at  all  times  after  prior  notification.  The  supplier  must
insofar  impose  a  corresponding  obligation  upon  his components  suppliers.  The  supplier  shall  make  the equipment, aids and services which are necessary for the inspection available free of charge.
2.6  If the supplier does not essentially create the object of the  order  in  his  plant  he  must  inform  us  thereof immediately before start of production and obtain our consent.
 
 
3   Delivery time   
 
3.1  Agreed  delivery  or  service  dates  and  deadlines  are binding.  
3.2  Decisive for observing the delivery date or the delivery deadline is the hand-over of the whole service to us as per contract. If delivery „free house“ or „free place of use“ has not been agreed the supplier must make the service available by observing the customary time for transport or despatch.
3.3  If  the  agreed  delivery  or  service  dates  are  exceeded the supplier shall also be in default without a reminder from us unless the delivery or service is delayed owing to  a  circumstance  for  which  the  supplier  is  not
responsible.
3.4  As soon as the supplier has reasons to assume that he cannot carry out the order in full or in part in time he must  report  this  immediately  by  stating  the  reasons and the expected duration of the delay. Our statutory rights are not affected by this notification.  
3.5  If the supplier does not observe the delivery date for reasons,  for  which  he  is  responsible  then  we  are entitled  without  setting  a  further  deadline  and  at  our own choice to demand subsequent delivery, damages
instead of the service or to cancel the contract. For the event of a delay in delivery a conventional penalty shall be  agreed  in  the  maximum  amount  of  0.5%  of  the order  value  per  started  week  of  delay,  limited  to  a
maximum  of  5%  of  the  agreed  remuneration.  The assertion of further rights remains unaffected hereby. The  conventional  penalty  is  to  be  offset  against  the actually occurred and asserted damages on default. The
right  to  demand  the  payment  of  the  conventional penalty is not forfeited through the acceptance of the delayed delivery without a reservation.
   
 
4.    Prices    
 
4.1  If not expressly agreed otherwise the prices are fixed prices and are free our receiving plant or free receiving station  as  stipulated  by  us  including  packaging, transport  insurance  from  house  to  house  and  other expenses.

5.2   Partial  services  are  only  permitted  with  our  express consent.  This  shall  have  no  effect  on  our  right  to demand partial services from the supplier.

7.1  Defects,  which  can  be  detected  during  a  proper inspection of the goods after delivery, must be reported within one month after delivery; other defects are to be reported by us within two weeks after they have been
discovered. This shall also apply if another  good  than that  which  was  agreed  as  per  contract  or  another quantity of goods than that which was agreed as per contract is delivered insofar as the delivered does not obviously  deviate  substantially  from  our  order  to  the extent that the supplier has to consider a consent of the goods to be excluded.
7.2   We shall be entitled to the statutory warranty claims in full;  in  any  case  we  are  entitled  to  demand  from  the supplier at our choice remedy of the defect or delivery of  a  new  object.  We  expressly  reserve  the  right  to
damages, in particular that to damages instead of the service.

substitute delivery.
7.4  We are entitled to remedy the defects ourselves at the supplier’s costs or to have these carried out by a third party if there is a danger in delay or there is a special need for urgency.  
7.5  The supplier shall also be responsible for ensuring that the stated service and consumption figures as well as the stated emission values are observed and that the deliveries and services comply with the latest generally
recognised  rules  of  technology  and  the  labour protection  and  accident  prevention  regulations  which apply to us and the European directives (e.g. CE). Upon request  we  shall  make  the  labour  protection  and accident  prevention  regulations  which  apply  to  us available. Approvals of drawings and calculations of the supplier which are granted by us shall not restrict his
warranty obligations.
7.6  The statute of limitations is 36 months beginning from passing of risk. Not affected hereby is still the statutory five-year warranty period for buildings.

8.2  Within  the  framework  of  his  liability  for  damaging events  within  the  meaning  of  Par.  1  the  supplier  also undertakes  to  reimburse  possible  expenses  according to  §§  683,  670  BGB  [German  Civil  Code]  as  well  as
according to §§ 830, 840, 426 BGB, which arise from or in connection with a recall action carried out by us.

without the consent of the supplier – in particular not to reach a settlement.
9.3  The indemnification obligation of the supplier refers to all  expenses  which  are  incurred  to  us  from  or  in connection with the claim by a third party.

He shall be  liable  for  all  damages  suffered  by  us  due  to  the infringement  of  our  property  and  industrial  property
rights. All documents which are made accessible to the supplier are to be handed over to us together with all copies  and/or  reproductions  thereof  without  request within  14  days  after  settlement  of  the  order.  The
supplier shall not retain or store any copies, duplicates, etc. unless he is obliged to archiving owing to statutory regulations.  A  right  of  retention  of  the  supplier  is insofar excluded.
11.2  Employees  and  sub-suppliers  are  to  be  obliged accordingly.

third party companies are to be complied with.  
15.2  These provisions relating to labour protection for third party companies will be sent to you by our purchasing department with the order.
15.3  Should  no  signed  return  confirmation  have  been received from the third party company when the order begins or should the demands contained in the labour protection conditions not be complied with we reserve
the right to prevent the commencement of the work. This  also  includes  financial  consequences  (e.g.  claims for damages, compensation) in case this should lead to non-scheduled standstills within our production or other work is delayed thereby.

directly or indirectly from the contractual relationship; we are however entitled to bring the matter before any other  court  of  jurisdiction  according  to  the  statutory provisions instead of the court of the afore-mentioned place of jurisdiction.
