8. Damage during delivery

For consumers the following applies: If the goods are delivered with obvious damage caused during delivery, please report the defect to the carrier and notify us without delay.

However, in doing so you help us to assert our own claims against the carrier or transport insurer.

Applicable to traders: The risks of accidental loss or deterioration of the goods will transfer to you once we have submitted the item to the haulier, carrier or other contractor for forwarding to the defined person or establishment.

9. Warranty and guarantees

9.1 Liability for defects

We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. Unless expressly agreed otherwise below, the statutory guarantee provisions (liability for defects) shall apply.

Restrictions in relation to tradres and merchants ("Kaufleute")

The below mentioned limitations and reductions of time periods shall not apply to claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents

• in the event of injury to life, limb or health
• in case of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty as well as fraudulent intent
• in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations)
• within the scope of a voluntary guarantee, if agreed, or
• within the scope of application of the Produkthaftungsgesetz (the Product Liability Act).

In relation to traders, only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product descriptions included in the contract shall be deemed to be an agreement on the quality of the goods; we shall not accept any liability for public statements made by the manufacturer or other advertising statements. For traders, the limitation period for claims for defects in newly manufactured goods is one year from the transfer of risk. The sale of used goods is subject to the exclusion of any warranty. The statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse according to § 445a BGB (German Civil Code) remain unaffected.

Provisions for merchants ("Kaufleute" in accordance with HGB - German Commercial Code)

Among merchants ("Kaufleute"), the obligation to examine and give notice of defects regulated in § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) shall apply. If you fail to give notice as regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not recognisable during the inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.

12. Online dispute resolution

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolutios (ODR) which can be accessed at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Consumers have the possibility to use this platform for resolving their disputes.
In order to settle disputes arising from a contractual relationship with a consumer or from whether such a contractual relationship exists at all, we are obliged to participate in dispute settlement proceedings before a consumer dispute resolution body. The competent body in this matter is: Universalschlichtungsstelle des Bundes am Zentrums für Schlichtung e.V., Straßburgerstraße 8, 77694 Kehl am Rhein, Germany, www.verbraucher-schlichter.de. We will participate in a dispute settlement procedure before this authority.

If you are a "Kaufmann" within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB), public-law legal entity or special public-law fund, the exclusive legal jurisdiction for all disputes from contractual relationships between us and you is our registered office.
