These coditios also apply to all future trasactios with you, our customers. Our coditios are therefore bidig, eve if you yourselves display terms of busiess which differ from ours. Your coditios apply oly if we cofirm to you the differig terms of busiess i writig. Fudametally, it is deemed as agreed that the terms of busiess of both cotractual parties become cotractual compoets oly whe they agree with each other. If idividual provisios cotradict each other, the these do ot become part of the cotract. Istead of this, the legal provisios apply. 1 Formatio of the cotract Our offers are subject to chage ad are also subject to the correct ad timely delivery by our suppliers, isofar as the offer does ot explicitly state that the offer is bidig. The drawigs, samples, catalogs or other documets provided or otherwise coveyed to you i coectio with the offers ad/or other explaatios withi the scope of preparig for coclusio of the cotract shall remai our property ad are subject solely to our power of disposal of our copyright ad/or patet right. The cotract is formed, after clarificatio of all techical ad busiess stipulatios, through the acceptace of your writte order by meas of our writte order cofirmatio; this also applies if you place your order through our represetatives. Our acceptace of your order ca also take the form of our delivery of the goods you ordered. The declaratios relatig to the characteristics of the cotracted products i the order cofirmatio, i catalogues, ad/or other correspodece betwee us relatig to the cotracted product do ot represet a guaratee i the sese of 276 sectio 1 of the Germa Civil Code, uless we specifically iformed you of this i our writte order cofirmatio, ad also stated which specificatios ad product characteristics we guaratee.

This also applies if the service due by us is to be effected accordig to your specificatios, i particular accordig to a drawig prepared by you. Uless special maufacturig specificatios are provided i the drawig, we may maufacture the item i accordace with DIN or ISO stadards or the applicable stadards at the time that productio begis. Metal products (pressed, puched, draw ad tured parts) will be delivered i the quality ad desig i accordace with the DIN stadard you require ad withi the toleraces required by the metalworkig plats. Surface fiishig i particular ickel platig of metal products does ot make them oe-hudred percet rust-proof, so that we ca provide o guaratee i this regard. For plastic molded parts, we will implemet delivery based o the purchase requisitio i accordace with the released drawigs (first samples) ad the data sheets of our suppliers. For all stadard items, the geeral techical data ad iformatio o the product overviews of our curret catalog apply. Custom solutios always require mutual writte approval. Whe agreeig o the submissio of samples with test reports, the stadard procedures for the idustry are agreed upo; the values i the samples will be stipulated as a cotractual quality of the service to be provided by us oly after your express writte release for productio. terms ad coditios page 1 6 Beim Breitestei Efrige-Kirche Maagig Director: Dipl.-Ig.
