Article 2 General
1. The present terms and conditions shall apply to each and every offer, tender
and agreement between user and a customer, to which user has declared the present
terms and conditions applicable, insofar as parties have not explicitly deviated
from the present terms and conditions in writing.
2. The present terms and conditions shall also apply to agreements with user,
the execution of which calls for the services of third parties.
3. Possible deviations from the present general terms and conditions shall only
be valid provided they have been explicitly agreed upon in writing.
Article 3 Offers and Tenders
1. All offers and tenders shall be free of obligation and shall be made in one
written form or other, unless user forgoes a written offer for practical, urgent
or other reasons. The offer shall bear a date, or shall provide the possibility
to be determined according to the date.
2. User shall only be bound by offers and tenders if the customer accepts such,
preferably in writing, within 10 days. Merchandise will be held for 10 days,
if payment is not received within 10 days the item(s) will be removed from HOLD
status. Customer must provide user with a valid email address or phone number
to hold any item. The prices given in an offer shall exclude shipment and import
duties, unless indicated otherwise.
3. It shall not be possible to bind user to his offers and tenders if the customer
should have understood in accordance with the requirements of reasonableness
and fairness and according to the usual criteria in social and economic life
that the offer or tender, or part thereof, obviously contains a mistake or an
error in writing.
4. If the acceptance deviates (on secondary items) from the offer given, user
shall not be bound by it. The agreement shall in such event not be concluded
in accordance with said deviating acceptance, unless user indicates otherwise.

in the offer or tender against a corresponding part of the given quotation.

Article 4 Conclusion of the Agreement
1. The present agreement shall be concluded through the timely acceptance by
the customer of user's offer.
Article 5 Delivery
1. Unless agreed upon otherwise, delivery shall be made ex warehouse of user.
2. The customer shall be held to take delivery of the purchased goods the moment
said goods are at his disposal or handed over to him.

to be given by the customer, the term of delivery shall commence after the customer

notice of default in writing.

for which the good was not intended.

by the user.
