If we accept the delayed performance, the contractual penalty must be asserted at the latest with our final payment.

(1) The supplier guarantees that the order to be fulfilled by him fully complies with the description of services and the state-of-the-art technology. Deviations are not permitted without our express written consent even if the items that the supplier wishes to deliver are functionally identical to the item described in the order.
(2) The supplier also guarantees that it will use environmentally friendly products and processes in its deliveries and services within the framework of economic and technical possibilities. He is liable for the environmental compatibility of the products and packaging materials supplied and for all consequential damage caused by the violation of statutory disposal obligations. At the request of the customer, the supplier is obliged to issue a certificate of quality for the delivered goods.
(3) In the event of defects, we have unlimited legal claims. The warranty period is 2 years from delivery (Section 438 Paragraph 1 No. 3 BGB). It begins with the handover of the delivery item to the customer or a third party designated by the customer at the point of receipt or use specified by the customer. In the case of the delivery of the goods received – individually or in the processed state – to the customer’s customers, the period for hidden defects begins with the delivery to the respective customer. In these cases, the statute of limitations for claims for defects occurs at the latest after 36 months from the handover of the delivery item to the customer or a third party named by the customer.
(4) In the case of devices, machines and systems, the warranty period begins with the acceptance date specified by the customer in his written acceptance declaration. If the acceptance is delayed through no fault of the supplier, the warranty period is 2 years after the delivery item has been properly made available for the purpose of acceptance.
(5) For delivery parts that could not remain in operation during the investigation of a defect and / or the removal of the defect, an ongoing warranty period is extended by the time of the business interruption. For newly delivered parts, the warranty period begins anew with their handover. Any downtimes that have occurred due to defects in the delivery / service are added to the warranty period.
(6) In deviation from Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), goods are received subject to subsequent goods receipt / quality control. The customer must check the delivery / service for any quality or quantity deviations within a reasonable period of time in accordance with the circumstances of a proper business process. Obvious defects must be reported to the supplier in writing immediately after they are discovered. The complaint is timely if it is made within a maximum of 14 days after receipt of the delivery by the customer. Hidden defects are to be reported to the supplier in writing by the purchaser within 14 days of becoming aware of them.
(7) If there is a defect within the first 6 months of delivery, it is assumed that the defect already existed when the risk was transferred.
(8) The purchaser is entitled to the full extent of the statutory warranty claims. He is entitled to demand that the supplier rectify the defect or make a new delivery, as he chooses. In this case, the supplier is obliged to bear all expenses necessary for the purpose of remedying the defect or making a new delivery or manufacturing a new one. The customer expressly reserves the right to withdraw from the contract or to reduce the price, as well as to claim damages or reimbursement of wasted expenses.
(9) If the supplier does not meet his liability for defects within the reasonable period set by the customer, the customer can take the necessary measures at the expense and risk of the supplier himself or have them taken by third parties. In urgent cases, the customer can, in coordination with the supplier, carry out the improvement himself or have it carried out by a third party.
(10) Small defects can be remedied by the customer – in fulfillment of his duty to mitigate damage – without prior consultation, without thereby restricting the supplier’s obligations under liability for defects. In this case, the customer can charge the supplier with the necessary expenses. The customer has the same right in urgent cases and / or if there is a risk of unusually high damage. The purchaser decides at his due discretion whether such a case exists.
(11) The supplier is obliged to notify his sub-suppliers of any recourse claims immediately after they have been asserted by the purchaser. Irrespective of this, the supplier’s own obligation to the customer remains.
(12) The legal regulation (§§ 478, 479 BGB) applies to the recourse claims of the purchaser due to defective goods with the proviso that the purchaser is entitled to the recourse claims even if it is only a partial delivery and / or there is no purchase of consumer goods. Furthermore, contrary to § 479 Para. 2 BGB at the earliest after 6 months after the point in time at which we have fulfilled our customer’s claims.
(13) The supplier is responsible for quality assurance with regard to the items to be delivered by him. Our obligation to inspect and notify is therefore limited to defects that are revealed during our incoming goods inspection with an external inspection (e.g. transport damage, incorrect or short deliveries). If acceptance of the items has been agreed, there is no separate inspection obligation. Any discrepancies in quality and quantity are reported in good time if we notify the supplier of them within 10 working days of receiving the goods. Hidden material defects are reported in good time if the supplier is notified within 10 working days of their discovery.
(14) The supplier bears the costs incurred for the inspection and subsequent performance even if the request for subsequent performance proves to be unjustified. This does not apply if our request for subsequent performance was made with knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the fact that there is no defect.
(15) We do not waive warranty claims by accepting or approving submitted samples.
(16) When the supplier receives our written notification of defects, the limitation period for warranty claims is suspended. In the event of a replacement delivery or removal of defects, the warranty period for replaced or reworked parts begins again, unless the measure was only apparent to us as a gesture of goodwill and without recognition of a legal obligation.

Quantities or dimensional deviations or other defects are to be reported to the client immediately; the client decides on the measures to be taken within a reasonable period of time. The same applies to defects that show up later, e.g. during the manufacture of the parts. The contractor may only rework poorly manufactured material and poorly processed material with the prior written consent of the customer.
