3. Any contractor’s order is a binding offer. We do have the right to accept the offer within one week after receipt by way of sending a written or e-mail order confirmation. Only by sending the order confirmation the respective contract comes into effect. Any eventually automatically generated acknowledgement of receipt does not serve as definite acceptance of the order. We retain the right not to execute orders if the ordered goods are not available. In this case, the customer would be informed per mail or telephone. We're flexible in deleting the "non-available" articles from the order or cancelling the complete order by customers inquiry without any charges. In cases of obvious writing, printing or calculation mistakes we are entitled to withdraw. Any uncertainties or misconceptions occurring in orders made by telephone go at the expense of the contractor.

§ 3 Payment terms, maturity terms and delay
1. Prices, packaging and disposal
Our prices depend on your location. If you're purchasing from outside of the EU, you shall only pay the net price, exclusive the German VAT. If you're inside EU (except for Germany) and your business is VAT registered, you shall only pay the net prices (we have to check your VAT number with our tax authorities before we can calculate your VAT-free order). For Orders within Germany and EU customers who are not VAT registered, the prices include the VAT of the destination land . All prices are EXW (EX Works), packaging included. For All overall packaging disposal costs have to be borne by the contractor.

2. Payment
Unless otherwise agreed (written agreement), we deliver the goods only after receipt of payment. After receiving your order confirmation and the invoice, the payment should be settled in one week. Afterwards, we keep the rights to change the prices or cancel the order. We would not proceed any further orders from a customer/contractor who has any unsettled order. The account will be blocked in this case and we will charge you 25,00 € cost compensation to reactivate your account and process a further order after we have blocked your account because of an unsettled invoice.
If you are making a bank transfer from outside the EU and with another currency, instruct your bank for an (OUR) procedure. This means you pay all transfer charges and we'll receive the full invoice sum. If you neglect an (OUR) payment and we do not receive the complete invoice sum, we'll pay back only the sum we have received via a (BEN) transaction.
3. Off-set
The contractor has the right to claim off-set, if his counter claims have been determined without further legal discourse or else have expressly been acknowledged by us in written form. The contractor can only assert his right of retention, if his counter claims are based on the same contractual relationship. This does also apply in case of a permanent business relationship between the contractor and us.

§ 4 Delivery
1. Usually, the task of delivery of each order will be performed within two working days after receipt of payment. The goods will be delivered either by a shipping company or a package service. There is no possibility from our company’s side to influence any delay in delivery caused by the deliverer in charge.

2. Deliveries will be carried out ex stock and send to the address provided by the contractor. Partial deliveries are permissible. The danger of coincidental loss and accidental deterioration of any goods – also in cases of freight-free delivery – will demise to the contractor as soon as the ordered goods have been delivered to the carrier or else the institution or person, who has been made responsible for shipping the ordered goods. The customer is responsible for any failing or missing delivery if he has delivered the wrong recipient's address during his order process and has not informed us immediately upon receiving his invoice. In this case, there will be no refund of the payment. The customer must pay for a second delivery.

3. Any information regarding the delivery time is not binding, unless, the date of delivery has been bindingly assured. For any delay in delivery and services as a result of events, which do substantially impede our services or make them impossible, we cannot be made responsible for even in cases of bindingly assured terms and deadlines. In case of unavailability of any ordered goods, the contractor will be informed immediately. Those events include in particular force majeure, strike and official orders as well as wrong or delayed self supply or non-delivery on part of our supplier, in particular after a congruent hedging transaction has been entered into. These events entitle us to delay deliveries respectively services for the time of impediment plus adequate acceleration time or else to partly or entirely withdraw for reason of the contract part which has not yet been met. If the impediment lasts longer than 8 weeks, the contractor is entitled to withdraw, whereof he has to inform us immediately. In cases of intent or gross negligence we are liable for any damages due to delivery and service delays limited up to the amount of the order sum. Any further compensation claims are excluded.

4. Delivery to countries outside the EU
Any Duty, Tax, or Brokerage fees related to the order is the responsibility of the contractor. We do not know what the duties/taxes are in the importing area and we do not know if there will be brokerage fees. We can provide the contractor with the required documents to release the goods but it's contractors responsibility to clear the goods by the customs.

Shipping Restrictions: It is contractor's responsibility to be aware of the specific import restrictions for recipient's country. If the package is refused or destroyed due to customs rules, we will not be able to refund the order or offer a replacement at no charge.

§ 6 Warranty
1. Warranty period is 14 days beginning with the date of receipt. Warranty encloses no defects due to wrong storage, usage or any other misuse.

Ordered goods free of lack are excluded from exchange. We do not provide the contractor any guarantee in the legal sense. Manufacturer's guarantees for any goods acquired additionally remain unaffected by this. The withdrawal right is only valid for private customers and not for B2B contracts.

In case of failure to provide supplementary performance from our side, the customer has the right to require discount or else to withdraw from the contract. Supplementary performance has failed if an adequate time limit had been set for us without having come to any certain results.

By all means, the customer has to observe §7 disclaimer of these Terms and Conditions. After withdrawing from the contract, the customer is obliged to immediately return the respective goods. Upon return, §6.4 of these Terms and Conditions has to be observed by all means.
