You may resell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business; you assign to us in advance all claims arising from this resale - irrespective of any combination or mixing of the goods subject to retention of title with a new item - in the amount of the invoice amount, and we accept this assignment.

The following applies to consumers: If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please complain about such defects to the delivery company as soon as possible and contact us immediately. Failure to make a complaint or contact us has no consequences for your legal claims and their enforcement, in particular your warranty rights. However, they help us to be able to assert our own claims against the carrier or the transport insurance.

9 Warranty and guarantees
9.1 Liability for defects
Unless expressly agreed otherwise below, the statutory law on liability for defects shall apply.

The following restrictions and shortening of time limits shall not apply to claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents

in the event of injury to life, limb or health
in case of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty as well as fraudulent intent
in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations)
within the scope of a guarantee promise, if agreed, or
insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is opened.
Restrictions vis-à-vis entrepreneurs

In relation to entrepreneurs, only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product descriptions included in the contract shall be deemed to be an agreement on the quality of the goods; we shall not assume any liability for public statements made by the manufacturer or other advertising statements. For entrepreneurs, the limitation period for claims for defects in newly manufactured goods is one year from the transfer of risk.

The statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse according to § 445a BGB remain unaffected.

Regulations vis-à-vis merchants

Among merchants, the obligation to examine and give notice of defects regulated in § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) shall apply. If you fail to give notice as regulated therein, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not recognisable during the inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.

9.2 Guarantees and customer service
Information on any additional guarantees that may apply and their exact conditions can be found in each case with the product and on special information pages in the online shop.

10. Liability
For claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, we shall always be liable without limitation

in the event of injury to life, limb or health,
in case of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty,
in the case of warranty promises, insofar as agreed, or
insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is opened.
In the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, on the part of our legal representatives or vicarious agents, the amount of liability shall be limited to the damage foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected.
Otherwise, claims for damages are excluded.

11. dispute resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS), which you can find here. We are not obliged or willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
