General Conditions
of Sale and Delivery of SAS Automation
Robotergreifsysteme GmbH
- General: Our
offers, order acceptances, deliveries and services
shall be based exclusively on these General
Conditions. Other terms and conditions shall only
be valid if we have confirmed them in writing. Our
conditions shall be deemed to have been accepted
at the latest when our goods or services are taken
delivery of. The respective latest version of said
conditions shall form part of the contract for
similar future commercial transactions.
- Offers:
Unless expressly otherwise stated, all elements of
offers shall be without engagement. Unless they
are expressly stated as being binding, documents
such as images, drawings and details on weights
and dimensions that form part of the offer shall
only be approximate. We reserve legal title and
the copyright to cost estimates, drawings and
other offer documents. They may only be made
accessible to third parties with our consent.
- Conclusion of the
contract / scope of delivery / withdrawal: Our
written order acceptance shall be authoritative as
regards conclusion of the contract and the scope
of delivery. The order acceptance may also be sent
with the invoice. In order to be valid, any
subsidiary agreements and amendments shall require
our written confirmation. Even if they occur after
the order has been placed and accepted, any
increases in materials, prices and wages,
including price increases by our suppliers, shall
entitle us to invoice the resulting increase in
costs if the goods are delivered four months after
the date of conclusion of the contract - i.e.
after receipt by the customer of the written order
acceptance - or if the agreed service is to be
provided after said four-month period. We shall be
entitled to deliver on a c.o.d. basis, to demand
advance payment or to withdraw from the contract
if the customer's economic situation or financial
circumstances subsequently deteriorate to such an
extent that completion of the contract can no
longer be reasonably expected.
- Prices and
payment / mark-up for small-volume purchases Prices
shall be subject to change without notice. They
shall be for the respective volumes
offered/accepted and shall be exclusive of value
added tax, for delivery ex works, excluding
packaging, dispatch and insurance costs. We shall
charge the prices valid on the delivery day. We
shall be entitled to invoice the customer for the
costs of test parts, samples and tools that are
needed to manufacture test and series-production
parts. Irrespective of the date on which the goods
are received, our invoices shall be payable net
without any deductions within 30 days of the
invoice date or with a 2% cash discount within 14
days of the invoice date. If the customer is in
default with payment of our justified claims, we
may postpone fulfilment of our own obligation
until the overdue payments have been effected. The
customer may only set off against claims that are
undisputed by us or that are legally enforceable.
If the period of payment is exceeded we shall be
entitled to charge default interest from the due
date based on the customary overdraft interest
rate. Unless the customer gives specific
instructions, payments shall in each case be set
off against the oldest outstanding invoice. A cash
discount shall only be granted if there are no
overdue invoices awaiting payment. Payment shall
only be deemed to have been effected when we are
able to dispose of the amount. All costs connected
with collection shall be borne by the customer. We
reserve the right to apply a mark-up of EUR 10.00
per order for small-volume purchase orders with a
net value of less than EUR 25.00. No cash
discounts can be granted for such orders.
- Design changes:
The supplier reserves the right to make design
changes at any time; it shall not, however, be
obliged to make such changes to products that have
already been delivered.
- Delivery period:
Unless expressly otherwise agreed in writing, the
deadlines and periods specified by us shall not be
binding. The period for deliveries or services
shall commence when the order acceptance is
dispatched, but not before agreement has been
reached on the order and all points of relevance
to the contract. Compliance with the delivery
period shall also be subject to the supplier
receiving on time all documents and parts that are
to be provided by the customer and also compliance
with all other obligations and agreed payment
terms. The delivery period shall be extended
accordingly if these prerequisites are not met.
The date of delivery shall be the day on which the
goods are dispatched or are notified as ready for
dispatch. Part shipments and performance by
successive instalments shall be permitted. The
delivery period shall be extended accordingly in
the event of measures involving industrial
disputes, including in particular strikes and
lockouts, and in the event of unforeseen
circumstances such as fire, floods, extreme
weather conditions, accidents, intervention by the
authorities, shortages of materials, delays in
deliveries or other cases of blameless inability
to perform on our part or on the part of one of
our subcontractors. We shall not be responsible
for the circumstances described above even if they
occur during a delay that has already arisen.
Except in cases of intent or gross negligence we
shall not be liable for any direct or indirect
consequential losses resulting from non-delivery.
- Transfer of risk:
Risk shall pass to the customer at the latest when
the delivery parts are dispatched, even if part
shipments are effected or if the supplier has
assumed other services such as dispatch costs or
delivery and installation. Following a request by
the customer the supplier shall, at the customer's
expense, insure the consignment against theft,
damage by breakage, transport damage, fire damage
and water damage, as well against other insurable
risks. If dispatch is delayed due to circumstances
for which the customer is responsible then risk
shall transfer on the day on which the goods are
ready for dispatch; however, the supplier shall be
obliged to arrange, at the customer's expense, any
insurance that is requested by the customer.
Notwithstanding the rights under No. 9 below, the
customer must accept delivery of items that have
been delivered, even if they display minor
defects. Transport damage shall not affect the
claim to the contract price.
- Reservation of
ownership: The goods supplied by us shall
remain our property until fulfilment - and in the
case of payment by cheque until irrevocable
honouring - of all of our claims, irrespective of
their legal basis. Any processing or
transformation shall in all cases be carried out
for us as manufacturers, but without any
obligation on our part.
If our co-ownership ends as a result of the goods
being combined with other goods or as a result of
any other legal provisions, it is here and now
agreed that the customer's co-ownership to the
unified item shall be transferred to us pro-rata,
based on the invoice value. The customer shall
safeguard our co-ownership without remuneration.
The customer shall be permitted to sell the goods
subject to reservation of ownership during the
ordinary course of business. Any resulting claims
of the customer against third parties are here and
now assigned to us in full. In the event of third
parties accessing goods subject to reservation of
ownership the customer must inform such third
parties of our ownership and must notify us
immediately. The customer shall bear all costs and
losses. Goods subject to reservation of ownership
may not be pledged or assigned by way of security.
In the event of infringement of the contract by
the customer, including in particular default in
payment, we shall be entitled to take back the
goods following a warning and to oblige the
customer to hand over the goods. Any assertion of
reservation of ownership or attachment of
delivered goods by us shall not constitute
withdrawal from the contract.
- Liability for
delivery defects: All details relating to the
item to be delivered/the service to be provided
that are supplied by us in our catalogues,
brochures and price lists shall only constitute
descriptions, labellings and reference values.
Properties shall only be deemed assured and
industry-standard deviations shall only be deemed
excluded if this is expressly agreed in each
individual case. Minor, insignificant changes
vis-à-vis catalogues, samples or previously
delivered goods shall not constitute defects. The
customer shall be obliged to inspect the goods
immediately after delivery and to notify any
defects in writing immediately, but at the latest
within 8 days. Complaints in respect of hidden
defects must be notified in writing immediately,
but at the latest within 8 days of discovery, and
a detailed description of the defect must be
provided. In accordance with statutory provisions,
claims of the customer in respect of redhibitory
defects involving new parts shall become
time-barred two years after delivery of the item
purchased, and at the end of the first year if the
purchaser is a public legal entity, a special fund
under public law or an entrepreneur who was acting
in a commercial or self-employed professional
capacity when he concluded the purchase contract.
Even in the case of business enterprises, any
claims of the customer in respect of redhibitory
defects involving second-hand parts shall become
time-barred one year after delivery of the item
purchased. This shall not affect more far-reaching
claims in the event of malicious silence with
regard to a defect or the assumption of a
guarantee in respect of a property. Defects shall
be dealt with as follows: The customer may only
assert claims for rectification of defects with
the supplier. Where claims are notified verbally,
the customer must be handed written confirmation
of receipt of such notification. If the goods
exhibit defects within the meaning of § 434 of
the German Civil Code [BGB], the supplier shall
supply a replacement or rectify the defect. A
defect may be rectified more than once. If the
third attempt at rectification fails the customer
shall have statutory warranty entitlements. Parts
that have been replaced shall become the property
of the supplier. For parts installed as part of
the process to rectify a defect, the customer may
assert claims for defects under the purchase
contract until expiry of the period of limitation
for the item purchased. We shall not assume any
warranty or any liability for defects in respect
of defects and damage to items delivered by us
where such defects and damage occur after the
transfer of risk and are caused by, for example,
unsuitable or improper use, incorrect assembly or
commissioning by the customer or a third party,
excessive loading, natural wear and tear,
incorrect or negligent handling, unsuitable
operating resources, chemical, electrochemical or
electrical influences, unless these are a
prerequisite under the contract and are
attributable to fault on the part of the supplier.
We shall not be liable for claims for damages that
have not occurred on the actual delivery items -
e.g. claims for reimbursement of costs and lost
profits due to production outages
("consequential damages") - unless
grossly negligent or intentional fault can be
proven against us.
- Liability for
subsidiary obligations / other claims for damages:
If, on the basis of statutory provisions, the
supplier is in accordance with this provision
liable for damage that was caused due to slight
negligence then the supplier's liability shall be
limited as follows: liability shall only apply in
the event of an infringement of material
contractual obligations and it shall be limited to
damage that was foreseeable at the time the
contract was concluded. This restriction shall not
apply in cases of death, physical injury or injury
to health. If the damage is covered by an
insurance policy that the supplier has taken out
for such an incidence of damage (excluding
fixed-sum insurance), then the seller shall be
liable for any associated disadvantages suffered
by the purchaser such as higher insurance premiums
or detrimental interest rates until settlement of
the claim by the insurance company. No liability
shall be assumed for slightly negligent damages
caused by a defect in the item purchased.
Irrespective of blame on the part of the supplier,
this shall not affect any liability of the
supplier that involves malicious silence in
respect of a defect, that derives from the
assumption of a guarantee or of a purchasing risk
or that is based on the German Product Liability
Act [Produkthaftungsgesetz]. The supplier shall
also be responsible for impossibility of delivery
that occurs accidentally during default, unless
the damage would also have occurred if the goods
had been delivered on time. Any personal liability
of the supplier's legal representatives, vicarious
agents and employees shall be excluded in the
event of damage caused by them as a result of
slight negligence. This clause on liability shall
also apply to verbal and written advice given by
us as well as to tests and other activities. In
particular, the customer shall not be exempt from
itself verifying suitability for the intended use.
- Saving clause:
If one or more provisions of these Conditions of
Sale and Delivery are or become legally invalid
this shall not affect the validity of the
remaining provisions. The invalid provision shall
be replaced as soon as possible by another
provision that approximates as closely as possible
to the economic intent of the legally invalid
provision.
- Place of
jurisdiction: These Conditions of Sale and
Delivery shall be governed exclusively by the laws
of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the event
of any dispute arising under a contractual
relationship where the customer is a fully
qualified merchant, a public legal entity or a
special fund under public law, an action must be
brought at the court with jurisdiction for our
registered office or for the branch office
effecting the delivery. We shall also be entitled
to bring an action at the customer's registered
office.
