If the customer is acting as a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods shall not pass to the customer until the goods are handed over to the customer or a person or institution authorised to receive the goods. Notwithstanding this, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods, even in the case of consumers, shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, if the customer has commissioned the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.
4.     The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of incorrect or improper self-delivery. This shall only apply in the event that the Seller is not responsible for the non-delivery and the Seller has concluded a concrete hedging transaction with the supplier with due care.

In the event of non-availability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and the consideration will be refunded immediately.
5.     In the event of self-collection, the Seller shall first inform the Customer by e-mail that the goods ordered by the Customer are ready for collection. After receipt of this e-mail, the Customer can collect the goods at the Seller's registered office after consultation with the Seller. In this case no shipping costs will be charged.

VII. Retention of title

1.  Until the fulfilment of all claims (including all balance claims from current account) to which the seller is entitled against the buyer now or in the future for any legal reason, the seller is granted the following securities, which will be released on request and at his discretion, provided their value exceeds the claims by more than 20% on a sustained basis.
2. The goods shall remain the property of the seller, processing or transformation shall always be carried out for the seller as manufacturer, but without any obligation for him. If the Seller's (co-)ownership expires due to combination, it is hereby agreed that the Buyer's (co-)ownership of the uniform object shall pass to the Seller proportionately (invoice value). The buyer shall store the (co-)ownership of the seller free of charge. Goods to which the seller is entitled to (co-)ownership are hereinafter referred to as goods subject to retention of title.
3. The buyer is entitled to process and sell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business as long as he is not in default. Pledging or transfer by way of security is not permitted. As a precaution, the buyer hereby assigns to the seller in full any claims arising from resale or any other legal ground (insurance, tort) with regard to the goods subject to retention of title (including all balance claims from current account). The seller revocably authorises the buyer to collect the claims assigned to the seller for the seller's account in his own name. This direct debit authorisation can only be revoked if the buyer does not properly fulfil his payment obligations.
4. In the event of access by third parties to the goods subject to retention of title, in particular seizures, the buyer shall draw attention to the seller's ownership and notify the seller immediately so that the seller can enforce his ownership rights. If the third party is not able to reimburse the seller for the judicial or extrajudicial costs incurred in this connection, the buyer shall be liable. 5) In the event of behaviour by the buyer in breach of contract - in particular default of payment - the seller is entitled to take back the goods subject to retention of title or, if necessary, to demand assignment of the buyer's claims for return to third parties. The taking back or the seizure of the reserved goods by the seller does not constitute a withdrawal from the contract.

IIX.  Liability for defects (warranty)

If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of the statutory liability for defects shall apply. Deviating from this applies:

• If the customer acts as an entrepreneur,
• - the seller has the choice of the type of supplementary performance;
• - in the case of new goods, the limitation period for defects shall be one year from the transfer of risk;
• - in the case of used goods, the rights and claims due to defects are generally excluded;
• - the limitation period shall not recommence if a replacement delivery is made within the scope of liability for defects.
• If the customer acts as a consumer, the limitation period for claims for defects in the case of used goods is one year from delivery of the goods to the customer, with the restriction of the following clause.
• The limitations of liability and shortening of the period of limitation regulated in the above clauses shall not apply
• - for items that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual purpose and have caused its defectiveness,
• - for claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses by the customer, and
• - in the event that the Seller has fraudulently concealed the defect.
• Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse according to § 478 BGB remain unaffected.
• If the Customer acts as a merchant within the meaning of § 1 HGB, the commercial duty to examine and give notice of defects pursuant to § 377 HGB shall apply. If the customer fails to comply with the duties of notification regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to be approved.
• If the customer acts as a consumer, he is requested to complain about delivered goods with obvious transport damages to the delivery person and to inform the seller about this. If the customer does not comply with this, this has no effect on his legal or contractual claims for defects.

IX.  Liability

The Seller shall be liable to the Customer for all contractual, quasi-contractual and statutory, including tortious claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses as follows

1.     The seller is liable without limitation for any legal reason

    - in case of intent or gross negligence,
    - in the event of deliberate or negligent injury to life, body or health,
    - on the basis of a guarantee promise, unless otherwise regulated in this respect,
    - due to mandatory liability such as under the Product Liability Ac.

       2.    If the Seller negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, unless unlimited liability is granted in accordance with the above clause.

       3.   Any further liability of the seller is excluded.
       4.   The above liability provisions shall also apply with regard to the Seller's liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

The Seller reserves the right to make design changes at any time; however, the Seller is not obliged to make such changes to products already delivered.

XI.  Applicable law

1. All legal relations between the parties shall be governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn.
2. Furthermore, this choice of law with regard to the statutory right of revocation does not apply to consumers who do not belong to a member state of the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract and whose sole residence and delivery address are outside the European Union at the time of conclusion of the contract.

XII.  Place of jurisdiction

If the customer acts as a merchant, legal entity under public law or special fund under public law with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the registered office of the seller. If the customer has its registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the seller's registered office shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract if the contract or claims arising from the contract can be attributed to the customer's professional or commercial activity. In the above cases, however, the seller is in any case entitled to call upon the court at the customer's place of business.
