General information
We
shall accept and process all orders in accordance with the conditions
stated below. By placing an order with us, the customer expressly
accepts these General Terms and Conditions. All agreements, especially
also verbal agreements and orders placed by telephone, need to be
confirmed in writing by us. We shall not assume any warranty beyond a
specifically confirmed warranty.
Opcotec’s General Terms and Conditions shall apply for all customer
orders and orders to suppliers. If any conditions of purchase of a buyer
deviate from these Terms and Conditions, such purchasing conditions
shall not be binding for Opcotec, even if Opcotec does not object to
them in writing.
Opcotec offers their products only to companies that acquire the
goods or services for their self-employed, professional, commercial,
or their governmental or official activities. The seller’s offers
are expressly not for consumers. Thus, these General Terms and
Conditions need to be construed with this point in mind.
Place of performance and jurisdiction
With respect to agreements concluded with business people, the place of
jurisdiction for all disputes arising from and in connection with this
agreement – including actions on a bill of exchange and actions on a
check – shall be Bad Homburg, Germany; the place of performance for
delivery shall be the respective shipping point; for payment, it shall
be Bad Homburg, Germany. Prices, acceptance of an order, obligation to deliver
Quotations made by Opcotec always shall be completely not binding and
subject to change. By placing an order, the buyer declares their
capacity to pay and creditworthiness. Should founded doubts about the
buyer’s capacity to pay or creditworthiness arise after acceptance of an
order, Opcotec shall be entitled to request an advance payment or
provision of a security before performance of the agreement or to
withdraw from the contract.
Any
orders that are placed shall only be considered to have been accepted if
Opcotec confirms such orders or the order is processed.
The buyer shall have no claim to delivery if delivery cannot be
completed due to force majeure, strike, lock-out, delayed delivery
of the upstream supplier, and other events, for which Opcotec cannot
be held liable. In this case, the buyer and Opcotec shall be
entitled to cancel the contract; however, with the exclusion of any
claims for damages.
Shipping and insurance
Transport of the goods shall be at the risk of the buyer. We shall not
assume any responsibility for any kinds of problems arising in
connection with the transport. Insurance for any kind of damage, terms
of delivery etc. shall only be provided at the express request of the
buyer, and the ensuing expenses shall be invoiced
Delivery
Any
circumstances lying outside our sphere of control shall be deemed force
majeure and shall relieve us from the obligation of delivery for the
duration of the obstruction or even definitively if we so decide;
however, the buyer shall not be entitled to put forward any claims
against us in this case. This shall include any complications arising
through no fault of our own in connection with the acquisition of raw
materials and finished products. All quoted and sales prices shall be
subject to change. Shipment shall be “ex stock Frankfurt”. Postal
charges, railway or forwarding agent costs shall be borne by the buyer.
The delivery dates stated in the order confirmation will be observed
as far as possible; however, they shall not be binding. Delayed
delivery shall not entitle the buyer to withdraw from the contract
or to claim damages. When possibly delayed goods are delivered and
accepted without objection, the delivery shall be considered to have
been accepted within the time limit and duly. If Opcotec is
responsible for a delay in delivery, the buyer shall be entitled to
withdraw from the contract in full or in part, provided that buyer
granted an adequate period of grace of at least four weeks, which
shall take effect when the notification about the period of grace is
received by Opcotec. The buyer shall be entitled to assert claims
for damages for non-performance only if Opcotec or their vicarious
agents caused such damage willfully or by gross negligence. The
extended liability stated in Section 287 BGB (German Civil Code)
shall be expressly excluded.
Notice of defects
Complaints must be made in writing within one week after receipt of the
goods at buyer’s premises. Verifiably defective goods will be replaced
free-of-charge. No liability shall be assumed for damage caused by
improper use and/or handling.
As a
rule, transport damages have to be asserted against the forwarding
company or freight carrier. An assessment of damage must be requested
from the freight carrier immediately when the goods are being unloaded.
Complaints regarding visible defects must be made in writing
immediately, at the latest within eight days after receipt of the goods.
Hidden defects have to be reported immediately after having been
discovered. Any liability for subsequent damage shall be excluded. The
period of warranty for defects shall be one year; it shall begin on the
date of delivery.
The
warranty claim of the buyer shall range from rectification to
replacement delivery of articles that exhibit the same or similar
quality; however, Opcotec shall decide which measure to take. For this
purpose, the buyer shall grant Opcotec sufficient time and opportunity.
Compensation for non-performance shall be excluded. The buyer shall be
obliged to make the goods they find fault with available and to pack the
goods properly and return them by prepaid freight at buyer’s risk
following consultation with Opcotec. Opcotec will refuse to accept any
goods a buyer complained about if they are returned without prior
agreement. The buyer shall not be entitled to withhold or reduce
payments because of a notice of defects. Liability
As a rule, we shall assume liability for
damages pursuant to the legal provisions. However, in the case of simple
negligent violation of substantial contractual obligations, our
liability shall be limited to compensation for typical, foreseeable
damages; in the event of simple negligent violation of non-substantial
contractual obligations, any liability on our part shall be excluded.
The afore-mentioned liability limitations shall not apply for damages
arising from injury to life, bodily harm or health or for liability
arising from the assumption of a warranty or pursuant to Product
Liability Law.
Payment
The invoice shall be due and payable in full 14 days after the invoice
date. A cash discount deduction on new invoices shall not be
permissible, if older invoices still are outstanding. Reservation of ownership
We shall reserve the ownership of the goods until the purchase price has been paid in full. Herewith, the buyer, in order to secure the purchase price, shall assign to us in advance all claims arising in the amount of our invoice, including all ancillary rights and security interests, which may arise from a further sale of the goods subject to reservation of ownership.
The prices stated are net prices, i.e. plus turnover tax and plus freight/shipping costs. The quotations are subject to change! Deliveries outside Germany shall be made only against advance payment, documents against payment or letter of credit. Delivery shall be ex works. |
