paid the invoiced amount within 14 days after the invoice was received.
Checks and drafts are only accepted if individually agreed in writing and are
only accepted for payment purposes while all discount charges are billed as

difficult or impossible for the company to deliver, like strike, lockout, official

times and dates were fixed contractually. You will entitle the company to prolong
or interrupt the delivery time according to the time of the obstruction plus
an adequate additional time for restart.
(3) In case of delay of delivery the legal regulations are valid. The customer
can only withdraw from contract provided that the company has violated its
obligations. An eventual damage which occurred because of delay of delivery
will only be refunded in accordance to the delivery price of the item; this
limitation is not valid if the company failed with intent or by gross negligence
or in case of physical injury.
(4) The company is entitled to retain the vehicle registration which belongs
to the item until total payment was received.
§5 Passing of Risk
(1) The risk passes to the customer as soon as the
item is dispatched from the company premises, also if only partial deliveries
were sent. If customer
whishes, the sending will be insured against theft or other insurable risks.

risk passes on to the customer at the date when the item was ready for dispatch.
(3) Partial deliveries are possible.
§6 Regulations for Defects
(1) The limitation period for defects of an item is 1 year. It starts with
the dispatch of the item. This does not count if the law § 479 BGB prescribes

meaning as soon as the item was delivered by the forwarder or delivery service
on his premises but latest until the end of business of the 7th working day.
(3) All delivered vehicles or parts of vehicles must by choice of the company
either be repaired or newly delivered within an agreed time limit and free
of charge, if there was a defect of item in line with point (1) and within

to fulfill its obligations to repair within an appropriate time.
If the item cannot be repaired the customer can withdraw from contract without
any damage on his side or can lower payment.

or other not by the company ordered technicians no claims can be made if defects
are tried to be repaired or if defects result from this work.
Claims of the customer concerning transportation -, driving -, working -, material
cost which occurred in order to repair defects cannot be claimed by the customer,
because the item of delivery was afterwards taken to another place but the
