§ 1 Scope and conclusion of contract

(1) These terms and conditions apply to all our deliveries of goods. The customer acknowledges these conditions with his order. Amendments or collateral agreements to these terms and conditions require our written confirmation in order to be valid and apply only to the individual business case.

§ 2 Delivery and assembly

(1) We always deliver and assemble the goods ourselves. Only exceptionally, the home delivery is carried out by a forwarding agent contracted by us and the assembly is carried out by subcontractors of ours.
(2) Our customers have to inform us before delivery about possible existing obstacles for a problem-free access to the house. The customer must ensure that his premises are prepared for assembly on the agreed delivery date. In the event of more difficult conditions, any additional costs incurred will be invoiced separately.
(3) The SuperDRY system for heating must be connected to the hot water circuit of the heating system by an installer chosen by the customer.
(4) The delivery time and the delivery date are agreed with our customers. Since we always deliver and assemble ourselves and since our goods are manufactured periodically and order-related, the agreed delivery time and the agreed delivery date are to be regarded as a guideline, which, however, can be met in the majority of cases. We try to prevent exceeding deadlines and time limits to the greatest extent possible by means of a proven delivery date monitoring system. This applies in particular to fixed transactions confirmed in writing. For nevertheless entering. We cannot be held liable for overruns that nevertheless occur due to sub-suppliers, unless there is intent or gross negligence on our part.

If the customer is not present at the agreed date or refuses acceptance, he shall be in default of acceptance ( see § 4 of these GTC ). If the proper delivery is confirmed by non-contractual persons with legal capacity in the premises of the customer, this confirmation is binding for the customer.
(6) In the case of an initial order, the delivery time may be slightly extended due to the creditworthiness check that must first be carried out.
(7) Delivery days are working days without Saturdays.

If the customer is in default of payment or other performance, we shall be entitled – without prejudice to other rights – to withhold our performance and delivery until the agreed counter-performance has been rendered or to withdraw from the contract only after a reasonable grace period of 14 days has expired.

If this delay in acceptance lasts longer than 5 weeks, we are entitled to set the customer a 14-day grace period for acceptance. If the customer does not meet his contractual obligations within this period, we have the right to store the goods at our premises at the customer’s risk, charging a storage fee of 2% of the invoice amount per month or part thereof, and to insist on the fulfillment of the contract, or to withdraw from the contract and resell the goods on the open market without further notice to the customer, in which case the customer shall pay a contractual penalty for the expenses incurred and a possible shortfall in proceeds of 20% of the net purchase price plus VAT.

If our ownership is lost, the co-ownership of the item shall pass to us as a substitute.

(4) As an entrepreneur, the customer may only assert claims for defects in the goods delivered (and assembled) by us in court within 6 months from delivery or performance. He has to prove the defects and their existence at the time of handover.

(1) We do not assume any liability for damages for whatever legal reason, in particular due to delay, impossibility of performance, positive breach of contract, culpa in contrahendo, consequential harm caused by a defect, defects or tort, which are caused as a result of slight negligence by us or persons for whom we are responsible. Customers who are entrepreneurs within the meaning of the KSchG must prove the existence of gross negligence or intent. In the case of contracts with consumer, damage to the person is excluded from this exclusion of liability. Our liability is in any case limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
(2) The timely performance of technical and safety inspections in accordance with the applicable legal and technical standards are part of the Customer’s obligations.
