Sales and delivery conditions - valid as of 01.01.2021

 

The following conditions form a significant part of the sales contract. They shall be deemed to be accepted by the buyer when an order is placed.  Deviating conditions of the customer are then non-binding for us even if we do not expressly object to them.

 

Offers

All offers based on this list are subject to change, non-binding and do not obligate the acceptance of an order. Offers made by telephone need to be confirmed in writing.  In case of doubt, the written confirmation applies.

We reserve the right to make technical changes and modifications that serve the further development of our articles and are reasonable for the buyer. 

 

Order units

We have the right to change differing order quantities to the next higher packing unit without further inquiry.

Custom-made products are generally excluded from exchange and return, as long as they are not afflicted with defects.

 

Pricing, packaging

All prices are net and exclusive of the current statutory VAT. With the publication of a new catalogue or a new price list, all previous price lists become invalid. Upon publication of this catalogue, all previous price lists shall be null and void.

Our prices are non-binding to the extent that significant changes in raw-material prices and wages may occur after the publication of this catalogue and therefore the calculation bases may no longer apply. Should there be more than four months between the conclusion of the contract and the agreed delivery date, and unless otherwise agreed at the conclusion of the contract, our prices at the time of delivery or preparation shall apply. 

We reserve the right to pass on the additional costs of raw materials in case of price increases in that area (steel, plastic, etc.) after completion of our catalogue.  As a result, article prices may in some cases change correspondingly.  Prices shall be valid for at least 1 year after the release of a catalogue, or until a new price list is published. 

Our prices are quoted “ex works”, including packaging.

Warranty

The statutory provisions apply.

 

Guarantee

Steel posts: hot-dip galvanised steel posts have a 15-year guarantee against rusting through. Excluded are weather-related, cosmetic defects or discoloration (e.g. surface corrosion, white rust or similar) as well as corrosion-related damage caused by salt water in the case of installations near the coast or by water containing chlorine.

For all other parts (except wear parts) we offer a 5-year warranty against breakage and material defects. Our guarantee is assumed to the extent described under point Liabilities/Complaints.

The warranty does not cover parts subject to short-term wear and tear (wearing parts). The legal warranty rights of the buyer remain unaffected. Excluded from the guarantee are damages which are due to wilful destruction (vandalism), improper installation, inadequate maintenance or natural wear and tear.

It is mandatory that our installation and maintenance instructions are followed.

 

Delivery schedule

Delivery times specified by the buyer and their receipt do not constitute a promise of delivery. No compensation claim can be derived from a breach of delivery times.

Retention of title

Para 449 BGB (German Civil Code) forms the basis of all sales. All goods delivered by us remain in our ownership until payment in full of the current account receiveables has been made. If the goods are sold on then the due purchase price is deemed to be assigned to us instead.  Garnishment and any other adverse effect on our right of ownership must be reported.

buyer is a registered tradesman, a tradesman by law, a legal person under public law or a legal entity under public law. German law shall apply to the exclusion of the Convention on the Sale of International Goods.
