Upon the first demand of CONDIO, the Customer shall promptly provide CONDIO with a current excerpt from the commercial register of Customer.

§ 4 Prices, Payment

‍

  1. CONDIO’s prices are "Delivered at Place" (DAP, Incoterms 2010) plus the respective statutory value added tax, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
  2. The purchase price is due and payable net within 14 days from the date of the invoice. From the due date default interest in the amount of 9 % above the respective base interest rate of the Deutsche Bundesbank p. a. shall accrue. CONDIO reserves all rights to claim further damages for delay.
  3. All claims relating to invoices must be notified in writing with documentary evidence to CONDIO within seven days from the date of invoice. Otherwise, the invoice shall be deemed approved.

§ 5 Offset, Retainer

‍

The Customer shall be entitled to offset only insofar as the Customer’s counterclaim is acknowledged, undisputed or assessed in a legally binding judgement. The Customer is entitled to claim retainer rights only to the extent such rights are based on the same transaction.

§ 6 Delivery

‍

  1. CONDIO applies the clause “Delivered at Place” (Incoterms 2010) exclusively in the proceeding that the place of delivery and the transfer of risk shall be the agreed place of the Customer’s destination where the Goods are made available to the Customer on the means of transport ready for unloading.
  2. Any quoted delivery dates are indicative only. CONDIO shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods, and a delay will not entitle the Customer to terminate, cancel or refuse to accept such delayed delivery. CONDIO shall notify the Customer of a possible delay without undue delay.
  3. Delivery is subject to the timely and proper fulfilment of the Customer’s obligations. If the Customer does not promptly unload the Goods after they have been made available or does not complete unloading within two hours, the Customer shall be obliged to compensate CONDIO for any claims for damages and demurrage. CONDIO reserves the right to plead non-performance of the contract.
  4. In case of default in acceptance or other breach of duties to cooperate by the Customer, CONDIO is entitled to claim any resulting damage including but not limited to additional expenses, if any. Further damages are reserved. In this case, the risk of loss or damage to the goods passes to the Customer at the time of such default or breach of duty to cooperate.

§ 7 Passing of Risk, Shipment

‍

In case of shipment of the Goods at the request of the Customer to a place other than the defined place in accordance with "Delivered at Place" (Incoterms 2010), the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods shall pass to the Customer in accordance with § 447 German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch).

§ 8 Retention of Title

‍

  1. CONDIO retains title to the Goods until receipt of payments of all CONDIO’s claims arising from the business relationship with the Customer, including future claims arising after delivery.
  2. The Customer shall handle the Goods appropriate and professional stated in the specification.
  3. As long as the purchase price has not been completely paid, the Customer shall immediately inform CONDIO in writing if the Goods become subject to rights of third persons or other encumbrances.
  4. The Customer may resell Goods subject to the above retention of title only in the course of his regular business. For this case, the Customer hereby assigns all claims arising out of such resale, whether the goods have been processed or not, to CONDIO. Notwithstanding CONDIO’s right to claim direct payment the Customer shall be entitled to receive the payment on the assigned claims. Insofar CONDIO agrees not to demand payment on the assigned claims to the extent the Customer complies with all his obligations for payment and does not become subject to an application for insolvency or similar proceedings or to any default of payments.

§ 9 Warranty

‍

  1. Precondition for any warranty claim of the Customer is the Customer’s full compliance with all requirements regarding inspection and objection established by sec. 377 German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch).
  2. In case of non-conformity of the Goods the Customer is entitled to alternative performance in the form of subsequent improvement or delivery of conforming Goods. If such alternative performance has failed, the Customer is entitled to reduce the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract in respect of non-conforming goods.

§ 10 Liability

‍

  1. If CONDIO, its representatives, agents or assistants should act with intent or gross negligence, liability shall be in accordance with the applicable law; the same applies in case of breach of fundamental contract obligations. Insofar as the breach of contract is not intentional, CONDIO's liability for damages is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
  2. CONDIO’s liability for culpable damage to life, body or health as well as our liability under the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.
  3. Any liability not expressly provided for above shall be disclaimed.

§ 11 Confidentiality

‍

  1. The Customer undertakes to keep confidential all information and materials disclosed by CONDIO or otherwise obtained by the Customer in connection with Parties’ cooperation.
  2. The Customer shall only be entitled to name CONDIO as a reference to third parties with CONDIO prior written consent.

§ 12 Force majeure

‍

  1. “Force Majeure” means the occurrence of an event or circumstance that prevents or impedes a Party from performing one or more of its contractual obligations under the contract, if and to the extent that that Party proves: [a] that such impediment is beyond its reasonable control; and [b] that it could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract; and [c] that the effects of the impediment could not reasonably have been avoided or overcome by the affected Party.
  2. A Party successfully invoking this clause is relieved from its duty to perform its obligations under the contract and from any liability in damages or from any other contractual remedy for breach of contract, from the time at which the impediment causes inability to perform, provided that the notice thereof is given without delay. If notice thereof is not given without delay, the relief is effective from the time at which notice thereof reaches the other party.
  3. Where the effect of the impediment or event invoked is temporary, the above consequences shall apply only as long as the impediment invoked impedes performance by the affected party.

§ 13 Applicable law, Jurisdiction

‍

  1. Each Contract shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (excluding the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods).
  2. Place of performance and exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with the Contract shall be Potsdam (Germany).
