Unless otherwise agreed in an individual case, the title of goods shall be transferred to us<br />

unconditionally and regardless of whether the purchase price has been paid.<br />

§ 5 Delivery<br />

(1) All delivery dates stated in the order and the subsequent order confirmation or otherwise<br />

agreed upon are binding and are understood to arrive at the shipping location specified in the<br />

order.<br />

(2) The seller shall immediately inform us of any threatening or existing delay in delivery, the<br />

reasons for such delay and the anticipated duration of such delay. The foregoing shall not<br />

affect the occurrence of a default in delivery.<br />

(3) The seller must comply with our shipment regulations and the shipment regulations of the<br />

freight forwarder or carrier. All shipping documents, correspondence and invoices must specify<br />

our order and item numbers.<br />

(4) Goods to be supplied shall be packed properly in the manner which is customary in the<br />

trade or packed according to our instructions at our request.<br />

(5) As long as the goods delivered to us are required for export purposes, the seller is<br />

obliged to issue a written declaration of origin. This declaration shall be forwarded to us together<br />

with the first delivery at the latest.<br />

(6) We shall be notified immediately and unsolicited of the origin of new delivery items or of<br />

a change in origin. The seller is liable for all disadvantages that we suffer as a result of incorrect<br />

or delayed submission of the supplier’s declaration.<br />

(7) The seller may only cite the absence of the necessary documents to be provided by us if<br />

the seller sent a written warning about the documents and did not receive them within a reasonable<br />

period of time<br />

§ 6 Transfer of Risk, Delay<br />

(1) The risk of accidental loss or deterioration of the goods shall pass to us upon delivery at<br />

the agreed place of delivery.<br />

(2) If a delay of delivery occurs, notwithstanding the legal regulations for delay, we are entitled<br />

to demand a lump sum of 0,2 % of the total order value for each calendar day of delay to<br />

a maximum of 5 % of the order value. We reserve the right to prove higher damages, the<br />

lump sum damage amount is however to be offset against further monetary claims. It shall be<br />

up to the seller to prove that no damage at all or a substantially lower damage than the<br />

above-mentioned lump sum has occurred.<br />

(3) In the event of delay and where a delivery is timely urgent or to prevent additional damage,<br />

we are entitled – without setting a new deadline – to substitute deliveries from third parties<br />

at the expense of the seller.

(4) In the event of force majeure or other events which were not foreseeable at the time of<br />

concluding the contract (e. g. operational disruptions of all kinds, difficulties in procuring materials<br />

or power, transport delays, strikes, lawful lockouts, workforce, energy or raw materials<br />

shortages, difficulties in procuring necessary official approvals, official measures or nondelivery<br />

or incorrect or late delivery by suppliers), for which neither contractual party is responsible,<br />

the party affected shall be released from its duties to perform for the duration and<br />

the extent of the impact. The party affected must promptly provide written notice of the force<br />

majeure event and will adapt its obligation in good faith to the changed conditions. We are<br />

exempt from the obligation to accept the ordered delivery in whole or in part and are entitled<br />

to terminate the contract, if the delivery can no longer be used by us because of the delay<br />

caused by force majeure or other not foreseeable event in consideration of all financial aspects.<br />

§ 7 Liability for Defects, Warranty<br />

(1) We are entitled to the usual statutory warranty claims, especially, at our option, to claim<br />

remedy of defects, delivery of conforming goods, and damages.<br />

(2) The commercial duty to examine and to notify defects shall be governed by the statutory<br />

provisions (sections 377 and 381 German Commercial Code), save that the duty to examine<br />

is limited to defects that are obvious upon visual inspection of the incoming goods, including<br />

the delivery documents, or upon spot checks during quality control procedures (e. g.<br />

transport damage, wrong and short delivery). No examination is required if an acceptance<br />

procedure has been agreed on. Apart from that, it depends on the extent to which examination<br />

is expedient according to proper business procedures, taking into account the circumstances<br />

of the particular case. Our duty to report any defects discovered later remains unaffected.<br />

In all cases our objection (notification of defects) shall be deemed timely and without<br />

delay if it is delivered to the seller within 10 days of discovery of defects.<br />

(3) In case of imminent danger we are entitled, after giving notice to the seller, to remedy the<br />

defects at the seller's cost. The same shall apply if the seller is in default on his warranty obligations.<br />

(4) If the statistic testing procedure specified in the order which determines the maximum<br />

allowable portion of error is exceeded, we are entitled to claim the entire shipment to be defective<br />

or to have the entire shipment inspected upon prior consultation with the sellers and<br />

at the sellers expense.<br />

(5) Warranty claims shall be time-barred after 30 month of the passage of risk.<br />

§ 8 Defects of Title<br />

(1) The seller warrants that the goods are free of rights of third parties and that delivery of the<br />

goods does not violate any rights of third parties. The seller shall indemnify us, upon first<br />

demand, from any claims of third parties in this regard.<br />

(2) Claims based on defect of title shall be time-barred pursuant to sec. 7 (5).


§ 9 Product Liability, Insurance<br />

4/4<br />

Version: 03/2012<br />

(1) The seller shall, upon first demand, indemnify us and hold us harmless from and against<br />

any and all liability or claims of third parties based on the manufacture, delivery, storage or<br />

use of the delivered goods. The indemnification shall not apply if the claim is based on our<br />

intentional or grossly negligent breach of duties.<br />

(2) The seller shall, at all times during the term of this contract, maintain product liability insurance<br />

with an adequate minimum insurance amount. Further claims for damages shall<br />

remain unaffected.<br />

(3) The seller shall assume all reasonable costs and expenses arising from any statutory<br />

product recall in respect to the product liability law. In such a case, we shall send the contractor<br />

a statement of position without delay.<br />

§ 10 Miscellaneous<br />

(1) In the event goods or parts thereof from current or previous orders of us are no longer<br />

sold or are discontinued, the seller shall inform us promptly thereof and shall grant us a reasonable<br />

time of at least 60 days for a final order.<br />

(2) The seller agrees to provide the necessary support for a supplier audit. The seller agrees<br />

to be annually evaluated in the form of a supplier assessment. The supplier evaluation<br />

serves as basis for continuous improvement and strengthening of the business relationship<br />

between us and the seller. We are entitled to publish the results of this evaluation.<br />

The following will be evaluated:<br />

Purchasing (cost transparency, price development, risks, payment terms, contract price quality,<br />

accuracy of invoice),<br />

Quality (quality of performance, certification according to the quality management standard,<br />

handling of complaints),<br />

Logistics (accuracy of shipping quantities - ordered quantity, maintaining the delivery schedule<br />

- confirmed date, maintaining the delivery schedule - desired date, delivery concepts,<br />

packaging).<br />

§ 11 Applicable Law, Jurisdiction<br />

(1) This contract shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (excluding<br />

the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods).<br />

(2) Place of performance and exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in<br />

connection with this contract shall be Munich.<br />
