General Terms and Conditions of Hewaltech GmbH
§ 1 Scope of application
(1) These Terms of Sale apply exclusively towards companies, legal entities under public law or special funds under public law in the sense of Article 310, paragraph 1 of German Civil Code [BGB]. Any terms and conditions of the purchaser that are contrary to or deviate from our Terms of Sale are not recognised by us unless we have expressly agreed to them in writing
(2) These Terms of Sale also apply for all future transactions with the buyer, insofar as it involves legal transactions of a similar nature (as a precautionary measure, the conditions of sale should always be attached to the order confirmation).
§ 2 Offer and entering into contract
(1) If an order is to be regarded as an offer pursuant to Article § 145 of German Civil Code (BGB), we can accept it within two weeks.
(2) Online Shop Orders and Product availability
The presentation of the products in our online shop https://www.industrysupply24.com and https://www.industrysupply24.com/en/ is not a legally binding offer but a non-binding online catalogue.
Your placed order is a binding offer for a conclusion of a contract. Upon receipt of your order by Hewaltech GmbH hereinafter referred to as the Shop Owner will submit an automatic generated email confirmation listing the items ordered along with the General Terms and Conditions including Privacy Policy. An automatically generated confirmation e-mail of your order is no legally binding acceptance of your order.
Orders to be executed on the business day (excluding Saturday) on which they are received by Shop Owner, must be submitted to Shop Owner latest at 14:00 o’clock as stated on the website www.industrysupply24.com. For larger orders and individual products, Shop Owner reserves the right to extend the delivery time up to 4 weeks.
If it turns out after conclusion of contract that the ordered product is no longer available or for legal reasons cannot be delivered, we will immediately inform the customer.
In the case of lack of availability, we are free to withdraw from the contract. We will where possible, offer the customer a product equivalent in quality and price. Should it become apparent after conclusion of the contract/order for Shop Owner that the acceptance of an offer is made on terms of writing, printing or calculation errors published on the website or in the catalog, Shop Owner is entitled to withdraw from the order. The same applies to the lack of creditworthiness of the customer.
We will reimburse all already made payments to the buyer if we for one of the above reasons withdraw from the contract.
§ 3 Provided documentation
We reserve the proprietary rights and copyrights to all documentation, such as calculations, drawing, etc., supplied to the buyer in connection with the issuance of the order. This documentation may not be made accessible to third parties unless we issue our express approval to the buyer for this purpose. Insofar as we do not accept the offer of the purchaser within the period specified in Article 2, said documentation must be returned to us immediately.
§ 4 Prices and payment
(1) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, our prices are ex-works, and do not include packaging and the respective amount of VAT. Packaging and Shipping costs and Customs Duties are billed separately.
(2) The payment of the purchase price must be made on the account mentioned on the order confirmation or invoice respectively. Cash discount is allowed only in special written agreement.
(3) Unless otherwise agreed, the purchase price shall be paid within 10 days of delivery. Default interest shall be payable in the amount of 8% above the base rate calculated. The enforcement of higher damages for defaults is reserved.
(4) Insofar as no fixed price agreement has been reached, we reserve the right to reasonable price changes due to changes for labor, material and distribution costs for deliveries which takes place three months or more from the time the contract was entered.
§ 5 Offsetting and retention
The customer has the right to offset only if its counterclaims have been legally established or are undisputed. The buyer is only entitled to exercise the right of retention insofar as the buyer’s counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
§ 6 Delivery
(1) The beginning of the specified delivery time requires the timely and proper fulfillment of the obligations by the customer. The defence of breach of contract is reserved.
(2) If the buyer is in default of acceptance or if he culpably violates other obligations to cooperate, we are entitled to demand compensation for the damage caused, including any additional expenses. Further claims remain reserved. Insofar as the above conditions are fulfilled, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the object of sale shall pass to the buyer at the time at which the latter falls into default of acceptance or payment.
(3) In the event of a delay in delivery not brought about by intent or gross negligence on our part, we shall accept liability for every full week from default within the scope of compensation in the amount of 0,5% of the contract value, but not more than 5% of the contract value.
(4) Further legal claims and rights of the buyer due to a delay in delivery remain unaffected.
§ 7 Transfer of risk upon shipment
When the goods are shipped to the buyer on his request, the risk of accidental loss or deterioration passes over to the customer with their dispatch at the time that the shipment leaves the factory/warehouse. This applies regardless of whether shipment is made from the place of performance or regardless of who bears the freight costs.
§ 8 Retention of title
(1) All goods delivered shall remain our property until all claims arising from the delivery contract have been paid in full. This also applies to all future deliveries, even if we do not always expressly make reference to it. We are entitled to take back the goods if the buyer is in breach the contract.
(2) The buyer shall, as long as the property has not been transferred to him, treat the goods with care. He is also obliged to insure them at his own expense against theft, fire and water damage at replacement value. If maintenance and inspection work is carried out, the Purchaser shall execute this at his own expense. As long as title of ownership has not been transferred, the purchaser must notify us in writing immediately if the products are detrained or subject to interventions by third parties. As far as such third party is unable to reimburse us the court and out-of-court costs of a lawsuit according to § 771 ZPO, the customer is liable for the loss occurred to us.
(3) The buyer is entitled to resell the goods in the regular course of business. The buyer shall assign to us the receivables from the resale of the conditional goods in the amount of the final invoice total outstanding to us (including added-value tax). This assignment shall apply regardless of whether the goods have been resold without or after processing. The buyer shall remain entitled to collect this claim even following the assignment. Our Authority to collect the claim ourselves remains unaffected. However, we will not collect the claim as long as the buyer meets his payment obligations from the collected proceeds, is not in default and no petition for insolvency proceedings or payments.
(4) Processing, working or redesign of the purchased goods by the customer may only be done with authority of the supplier. In this case, the expectancy of the buyer with regard to the item for purchase or the altered item shall continue to apply. If the purchased goods are processed with other items not belonging to us, we acquire co-ownership of the new object in the ratio of the objective value of our goods to the other processed items at the time of processing. The same applies to the case of mixing. If the mixing is done in such a way that the cause of buyer is considered the principal cause is considered to be agreed that the purchaser to us pro rata co-ownership and shall hold the sole ownership or co-ownership. To secure our claims against the customer, the ordering and such claims to us, which he is by the connection of the goods with a property against a third party, we take this assignment now.
(5) We undertake to release the securities due to us at the customer's request, if their value exceeds the claims to be secured by more than 20%.
§ 9 Warranty and complaints and recourse / manufacturer redress
(1) Any warranty rights of the purchaser are subject to the purchaser having properly fulfilled the obligation to inspect the goods upon receipt and submit complaints if applicable as required by § 377 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB). The notice has to be in writing and shall include a detailed description of the defect.
(2) Warranty claims expire 12 months after delivery of the goods delivered to the buyer. Before returning any goods, our written consent must be obtained.
(3) If, despite all care taken, the delivered goods exhibit a defect that already existed at the time of transfer of risk, we will, at our choice, either repair the goods or supply replacement goods, provided that the notice of defects was given in due time. We must always be given the opportunity to render subsequent performance within a reasonable time. The above provision does not affect the rights of recourse in any way.
(4) If subsequent performance is unsuccessful, the purchaser can – without prejudice to any possible claims for damages – withdraw from the contract or reduce the compensation.
(5) Claims for defects cannot be asserted in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed properties and condition, in the case of only insignificant impairment of usability, in the case of natural wear and tear, or in the case of damage arising after the transfer of risk as a result of incorrect or careless handling, excessive strain, unsuitable equipment, poor construction work, an unsuitable foundation, or due to special external influences that could not have been foreseen at the time the contract was formed. Likewise, if repair work or modifications are carried out improperly by the purchaser or a third party, claims for defects cannot be asserted for these or the resulting consequences.
(6) Claims on the part of the purchaser for expenditures necessary for the purpose of subsequent performance, particularly transport, travel, labor, and material costs, are excluded if these expenditures increase because the goods delivered were subsequently transported to a location other than the purchaser’s place of business, unless such transport is consistent with the goods’ intended use.
(7) The purchaser can only assert rights of recourse against us insofar as no agreements have been made between the buyer and the buyer’s customer that go beyond the mandatory statutory rights relating to defects. Furthermore, as for the scope of the purchaser’s right of recourse against the supplier, Paragraph 6 applies accordingly.
