General
Conditions of Sale and Delivery of SAS
Automation Robotergreifsysteme GmbH
- General: Our
offers, order acceptances, deliveries and
services shall be based exclusively on these
General Conditions. Other terms and conditions
shall only be valid if we have confirmed them
in writing. Our conditions shall be deemed to
have been accepted at the latest when our
goods or services are taken delivery of. The
respective latest version of said conditions
shall form part of the contract for similar
future commercial transactions.
- Offers: Unless
expressly otherwise stated, all elements of
offers shall be without engagement. Unless
they are expressly stated as being binding,
documents such as images, drawings and details
on weights and dimensions that form part of
the offer shall only be approximate. We
reserve legal title and the copyright to cost
estimates, drawings and other offer documents.
They may only be made accessible to third
parties with our consent.
- Conclusion
of the contract / scope of delivery /
withdrawal: Our
written order acceptance shall be
authoritative as regards conclusion of the
contract and the scope of delivery. The order
acceptance may also be sent with the invoice.
In order to be valid, any subsidiary
agreements and amendments shall require our
written confirmation. Even if they occur after
the order has been placed and accepted, any
increases in materials, prices and wages,
including price increases by our suppliers,
shall entitle us to invoice the resulting
increase in costs if the goods are delivered
four months after the date of conclusion of
the contract - i.e. after receipt by the
customer of the written order acceptance - or
if the agreed service is to be provided after
said four-month period. We shall be entitled
to deliver on a c.o.d. basis, to demand
advance payment or to withdraw from the
contract if the customer's economic situation
or financial circumstances subsequently
deteriorate to such an extent that completion
of the contract can no longer be reasonably
expected.
- Prices and
payment / mark-up for small-volume purchases Prices
shall be subject to change without notice.
They shall be for the respective volumes
offered/accepted and shall be exclusive of
value added tax, for delivery ex works,
excluding packaging, dispatch and insurance
costs. We shall charge the prices valid on the
delivery day. We shall be entitled to invoice
the customer for the costs of test parts,
samples and tools that are needed to
manufacture test and series-production parts.
Irrespective of the date on which the goods
are received, our invoices shall be payable
net without any deductions within 30 days of
the invoice date or with a 2% cash discount
within 14 days of the invoice date. If the
customer is in default with payment of our
justified claims, we may postpone fulfilment
of our own obligation until the overdue
payments have been effected. The customer may
only set off against claims that are
undisputed by us or that are legally
enforceable. If the period of payment is
exceeded we shall be entitled to charge
default interest from the due date based on
the customary overdraft interest rate. Unless
the customer gives specific instructions,
payments shall in each case be set off against
the oldest outstanding invoice. A cash
discount shall only be granted if there are no
overdue invoices awaiting payment. Payment
shall only be deemed to have been effected
when we are able to dispose of the amount. All
costs connected with collection shall be borne
by the customer. We reserve the right to apply
a mark-up of EUR 10.00 per order for
small-volume purchase orders with a net value
of less than EUR 25.00. No cash discounts can
be granted for such orders.
- Design
changes: The
supplier reserves the right to make design
changes at any time; it shall not, however, be
obliged to make such changes to products that
have already been delivered.
- Delivery
period: Unless
expressly otherwise agreed in writing, the
deadlines and periods specified by us shall
not be binding. The period for deliveries or
services shall commence when the order
acceptance is dispatched, but not before
agreement has been reached on the order and
all points of relevance to the contract.
Compliance with the delivery period shall also
be subject to the supplier receiving on time
all documents and parts that are to be
provided by the customer and also compliance
with all other obligations and agreed payment
terms. The delivery period shall be extended
accordingly if these prerequisites are not
met. The date of delivery shall be the day on
which the goods are dispatched or are notified
as ready for dispatch. Part shipments and
performance by successive instalments shall be
permitted. The delivery period shall be
extended accordingly in the event of measures
involving industrial disputes, including in
particular strikes and lockouts, and in the
event of unforeseen circumstances such as
fire, floods, extreme weather conditions,
accidents, intervention by the authorities,
shortages of materials, delays in deliveries
or other cases of blameless inability to
perform on our part or on the part of one of
our subcontractors. We shall not be
responsible for the circumstances described
above even if they occur during a delay that
has already arisen. Except in cases of intent
or gross negligence we shall not be liable for
any direct or indirect consequential losses
resulting from non-delivery.
- Transfer of
risk: Risk
shall pass to the customer at the latest when
the delivery parts are dispatched, even if
part shipments are effected or if the supplier
has assumed other services such as dispatch
costs or delivery and installation. Following
a request by the customer the supplier shall,
at the customer's expense, insure the
consignment against theft, damage by breakage,
transport damage, fire damage and water
damage, as well against other insurable risks.
If dispatch is delayed due to circumstances
for which the customer is responsible then
risk shall transfer on the day on which the
goods are ready for dispatch; however, the
supplier shall be obliged to arrange, at the
customer's expense, any insurance that is
requested by the customer. Notwithstanding the
rights under No. 9 below, the customer must
accept delivery of items that have been
delivered, even if they display minor defects.
Transport damage shall not affect the claim to
the contract price.
- Reservation
of ownership: The
goods supplied by us shall remain our property
until fulfilment - and in the case of payment
by cheque until irrevocable honouring - of all
of our claims, irrespective of their legal
basis. Any processing or transformation shall
in all cases be carried out for us as
manufacturers, but without any obligation on
our part.
If our co-ownership ends as a result of the
goods being combined with other goods or as a
result of any other legal provisions, it is
here and now agreed that the customer's
co-ownership to the unified item shall be
transferred to us pro-rata, based on the
invoice value. The customer shall safeguard
our co-ownership without remuneration. The
customer shall be permitted to sell the goods
subject to reservation of ownership during the
ordinary course of business. Any resulting
claims of the customer against third parties
are here and now assigned to us in full. In
the event of third parties accessing goods
subject to reservation of ownership the
customer must inform such third parties of our
ownership and must notify us immediately. The
customer shall bear all costs and losses.
Goods subject to reservation of ownership may
not be pledged or assigned by way of security.
In the event of infringement of the contract
by the customer, including in particular
default in payment, we shall be entitled to
take back the goods following a warning and to
oblige the customer to hand over the goods.
Any assertion of reservation of ownership or
attachment of delivered goods by us shall not
constitute withdrawal from the contract.
- Liability
for delivery defects: All
details relating to the item to be
delivered/the service to be provided that are
supplied by us in our catalogues, brochures
and price lists shall only constitute
descriptions, labellings and reference values.
Properties shall only be deemed assured and
industry-standard deviations shall only be
deemed excluded if this is expressly agreed in
each individual case. Minor, insignificant
changes vis-à-vis catalogues, samples or
previously delivered goods shall not
constitute defects. The customer shall be
obliged to inspect the goods immediately after
delivery and to notify any defects in writing
immediately, but at the latest within 8 days.
Complaints in respect of hidden defects must
be notified in writing immediately, but at the
latest within 8 days of discovery, and a
detailed description of the defect must be
provided. In accordance with statutory
provisions, claims of the customer in respect
of redhibitory defects involving new parts
shall become time-barred two years after
delivery of the item purchased, and at the end
of the first year if the purchaser is a public
legal entity, a special fund under public law
or an entrepreneur who was acting in a
commercial or self-employed professional
capacity when he concluded the purchase
contract. Even in the case of business
enterprises, any claims of the customer in
respect of redhibitory defects involving
second-hand parts shall become time-barred one
year after delivery of the item purchased.
This shall not affect more far-reaching claims
in the event of malicious silence with regard
to a defect or the assumption of a guarantee
in respect of a property. Defects shall be
dealt with as follows: The customer may only
assert claims for rectification of defects
with the supplier. Where claims are notified
verbally, the customer must be handed written
confirmation of receipt of such notification.
If the goods exhibit defects within the
meaning of § 434 of the German Civil Code [BGB],
the supplier shall supply a replacement or
rectify the defect. A defect may be rectified
more than once. If the third attempt at
rectification fails the customer shall have
statutory warranty entitlements. Parts that
have been replaced shall become the property
of the supplier. For parts installed as part
of the process to rectify a defect, the
customer may assert claims for defects under
the purchase contract until expiry of the
period of limitation for the item purchased.
We shall not assume any warranty or any
liability for defects in respect of defects
and damage to items delivered by us where such
defects and damage occur after the transfer of
risk and are caused by, for example,
unsuitable or improper use, incorrect assembly
or commissioning by the customer or a third
party, excessive loading, natural wear and
tear, incorrect or negligent handling,
unsuitable operating resources, chemical,
electrochemical or electrical influences,
unless these are a prerequisite under the
contract and are attributable to fault on the
part of the supplier. We shall not be liable
for claims for damages that have not occurred
on the actual delivery items - e.g. claims for
reimbursement of costs and lost profits due to
production outages ("consequential damages") -
unless grossly negligent or intentional fault
can be proven against us.
- Liability
for subsidiary obligations / other claims for
damages: If,
on the basis of statutory provisions, the
supplier is in accordance with this provision
liable for damage that was caused due to
slight negligence then the supplier's
liability shall be limited as follows:
liability shall only apply in the event of an
infringement of material contractual
obligations and it shall be limited to damage
that was foreseeable at the time the contract
was concluded. This restriction shall not
apply in cases of death, physical injury or
injury to health. If the damage is covered by
an insurance policy that the supplier has
taken out for such an incidence of damage
(excluding fixed-sum insurance), then the
seller shall be liable for any associated
disadvantages suffered by the purchaser such
as higher insurance premiums or detrimental
interest rates until settlement of the claim
by the insurance company. No liability shall
be assumed for slightly negligent damages
caused by a defect in the item purchased.
Irrespective of blame on the part of the
supplier, this shall not affect any liability
of the supplier that involves malicious
silence in respect of a defect, that derives
from the assumption of a guarantee or of a
purchasing risk or that is based on the German
Product Liability Act [Produkthaftungsgesetz].
The supplier shall also be responsible for
impossibility of delivery that occurs
accidentally during default, unless the damage
would also have occurred if the goods had been
delivered on time. Any personal liability of
the supplier's legal representatives,
vicarious agents and employees shall be
excluded in the event of damage caused by them
as a result of slight negligence. This clause
on liability shall also apply to verbal and
written advice given by us as well as to tests
and other activities. In particular, the
customer shall not be exempt from itself
verifying suitability for the intended use.
- Saving
clause: If
one or more provisions of these Conditions of
Sale and Delivery are or become legally
invalid this shall not affect the validity of
the remaining provisions. The invalid
provision shall be replaced as soon as
possible by another provision that
approximates as closely as possible to the
economic intent of the legally invalid
provision.
- Place of
jurisdiction: These
Conditions of Sale and Delivery shall be
governed exclusively by the laws of the
Federal Republic of Germany. In the event of
any dispute arising under a contractual
relationship where the customer is a fully
qualified merchant, a public legal entity or a
special fund under public law, an action must
be brought at the court with jurisdiction for
our registered office or for the branch office
effecting the delivery. We shall also be
entitled to bring an action at the customer's
registered office.
