The purchaser is only authorized to exercise a right of retention to the extent that his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.

§ 6 delivery time

1. The start of the delivery time specified by us requires the timely and proper fulfillment of the obligations of the customer. The exception of the unfulfilled contract remains reserved.

2. If the purchaser is in default of acceptance or culpably violates other obligations to cooperate, we shall be entitled to demand compensation for the damage incurred in this respect, including any additional expenses. Further claims are reserved. If the above conditions are met, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the purchased item shall pass to the purchaser at the time at which the purchaser is in default of acceptance or payment.

§ 7 Transfer of risk upon dispatch

If the goods are despatched to the purchaser at the request of the purchaser, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods shall pass to the purchaser upon dispatch to the purchaser, at the latest when leaving the factory / warehouse.

1. We reserve the ownership of the delivered goods until full payment of all claims from the delivery contract. This also applies to all future deliveries, even if we do not always expressly refer to them. We are entitled to take back the purchased item if the customer behaves contrary to the contract.

2. The purchaser is obliged, as long as the property has not been transferred to him, to handle the purchased goods with care. In particular, he is obliged to adequately insure these at his own expense against theft, fire and water damage as new value (note: only permissible for the sale of high-quality goods). If maintenance and inspection work has to be carried out, the customer has to carry it out on time at his own expense. As long as the ownership has not yet been transferred, the purchaser must notify us immediately in writing if the delivered object is seized or subjected to other interventions by third parties. Insofar as the third party is not in a position to reimburse us for the legal and extrajudicial costs of a lawsuit in accordance with § 771 ZPO, the customer is liable for the loss incurred by us.

3. The customer is entitled to resell the reserved goods in the normal course of business. The customer already assigns to us the claims against the customer from the resale of the reserved goods in the amount of the final invoice amount agreed with us (including value added tax). This assignment applies regardless of whether the purchased item was resold without or after processing. The customer remains authorized to collect the claim, even after the assignment. Our power to collect the claim ourselves remains unaffected. However, we will not collect the claim as long as the customer meets his payment obligations from the proceeds received, is not in default of payment and, in particular, no petition for the opening of insolvency proceedings or cessation of payments exists. [Note: This clause does not apply if no extended retention of title is wanted.]

4. The processing and remodeling of the purchased item by the customer is always named and on behalf of us. In this case, the right of expectancy of the purchaser in the purchased item continues with the remodeled item. If the purchased item is processed with other items not belonging to us, we acquire the co-ownership of the new item in proportion of the objective value of our purchased item to the other processed items at the time of processing. The same applies to the case of mixing. If the mixing takes place in such a way that the customer’s item is to be regarded as the main item, it shall be deemed agreed that the purchaser assigns proportional co-ownership to us and secures the resulting sole ownership or co-ownership for us. To secure our claims against the purchaser, the purchaser also assigns to us such claims that accrue to him as a result of the combination of the reserved goods with a property against a third party; We already accept this assignment.

5. We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled upon request of the customer, insofar as their value exceeds the claims to be secured by more than 20%.
