VI. Warranties/liability
1. If the goods have a defect for which the seller is responsible, the seller must provide supplementary performance, which thereby excludes the rights of the buyer to withdraw from the contract or have the purchase price reduced. Legal regulations may, however, allow the seller to refuse to provide the supplementary performance. The buyer shall accord the seller a reasonable time period for providing the supplementary performance.
2. This supplementary performance may be the repairing of the defect or delivery of new goods, at the seller's discretion. During the supplementary performance, the reduction of the purchase price or withdrawal from the contract on the part of the buyer is excluded. The improvement is deemed a failure upon the second unsuccessful attempt. If the supplementary performance is deemed a failure, the buyer may either reduce the purchase price or withdraw from the contract.
3. Claims for damages due to defects can only be made by the buyer under the following conditions once the supplementary performance has failed. The right of the buyer to make further claims for damages under the following conditions remains unaffected.
4. The seller is unrestrictedly liable according to the legal regulations for all health or bodily damages resulting from deliberate or gross negligence in fulfilling an obligation on the part of the seller or his/her legal representatives or vicarious agents, as well as for any damages falling under the Product Liability Act, and for all other damages resulting from deliberate or gross negligence or fraudulent intent on the part of the seller or his/her legal representatives or vicarious agents. If the seller has submitted a warranty in regard to the properties or service life of the goods or their components, the seller is also liable within the frame of this guarantee.
For damages based on the properties or service life not meeting the guarantee, but which do not directly occur on the goods, the seller is only liable if the risk of such damage is obviously included in the properties and service life under warranty.
5. The seller is also liable for damages resulting from simple negligence if this represents an infringement of an essential contractual duty or cardinal obligation. The same applies if the buyer is entitled to make claims for damage compensation instead of performance. The seller is only liable however if the damages can be linked with the contract in a typical manner and are foreseeable.
6. Any further liability of the seller is excluded without consideration of the legal nature of the asserted claim; this especially applies to tort liability claims or claims for compensation of futile efforts instead of performance. If the liability of the seller is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of the seller's employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
2. This supplementary performance may be the repairing of the defect or delivery of new goods, at the seller's discretion. During the supplementary performance, the reduction of the purchase price or withdrawal from the contract on the part of the buyer is excluded.

If the supplementary performance is deemed a failure, the buyer may either reduce the purchase price or withdraw from the contract.

VII. Reservation of ownership
1. The seller reserves the ownership of the goods until all payments specified in the purchase contract have been received.
2. The buyer must notify the seller without delay of all interventions by third parties, especially foreclosure measures as well as any other encroachments upon the seller's property. The buyer must compensate the seller for all damages and costs resulting from failure to meet this obligation and which arise due to necessary counter-interventions to halt the interventions of third parties.
3. Should the buyer act in breach of the contract, especially if the buyer does not meet his/her payment obligations despite a reminder notice from the seller, the seller may, after giving a reasonable period of notice, withdraw from the contract and demand the delivery of goods which are still under the seller's ownership. If the goods are revoked by the seller, this represents withdrawal from the contract. The transport costs incurred shall be borne by the buyer. If the goods are seized by the seller, this always represents withdrawal from the contract. The seller is entitled to resell the goods after having them returned. The proceeds of the sale, minus reasonable administrative expenses, becomes the liability of the seller.

VIII. Final provisions, applicable law, place of jurisdiction
The relationships between the contractual parties are dictated exclusively according to the applicable laws in Germany. The application of the uniform law on the international sale of movable goods as well as the law on the signing of international commercial contracts for movable goods is excluded. If the buyer is a merchant, the business headquarters of the seller is the place of jurisdiction; however, the seller is also entitled to bring suit against the customer at the customer's locality / residential place of jurisdiction. If the order confirmation does not specify otherwise, the business headquarters of the seller is the place of performance. If a provision within these conditions is or becomes invalid or inexecutable, this has no effect upon the efficacy of the other conditions.
