Terms and conditions
Actually, well-formulated terms and conditions of sale should be listed here – as is generally the case. However, we know – just as you do – that these are often ignored and, moreover, are contradicted by your terms and conditions of purchase, which may contain contradictory provisions because, as is usual, the two terms and conditions have not been coordinated.
This situation will not change until relevant economic authorities have generally defined the terms and conditions of purchase and sale in such a way that contradictions are avoided. Until such a regulation is in place, the communication of terms and conditions appears more or less a matter of prestige with little practical use. If a legal dispute actually arises, the judge – as has already happened in some judgments – has no choice but to render his decision according to the statutory provisions.
These are the a priori basis for our sales. All cases of doubt have been adequately regulated by the legislature.
You will therefore understand if we refrain from studying any printed, routine terms and conditions of purchase that you may send us with your order and that are not specifically formulated for the individual business transaction. We assume that you also share our opinion and agree to the legal provisions applicable in Germany being applied. Should you hold a different opinion, please notify us immediately. This would put us in the undesirable position of having to pay particular attention to your terms and conditions and object to points that we find unacceptable.
