General Conditions of Sale

General Conditions of Sale of
NICROMAL Edelstahl & Metallhandel GmbH, Brahmkoppel 5, 24558 Henstedt-Ulzburg.

I. General Information

1. These General Conditions of Sale (Conditions) shall apply to all present and future contracts with commercial buyers, with public legal entities as well as public trusts in regard to deliveries and other services, including contracts for work and services, contracts for the delivery of fungible and non-fungible goods to be manufactured or produced.

2. The Buyer's purchase conditions shall not be binding even if we do not expressly object to them again after their receipt.

II. Conclusion of Contracts, Test Certificates, Trade Terms

1. Our offers are non-binding to us. Orders of the Buyer are only binding for us if they have been confirmed by us in text form. The same applies to changes to orders. However, we are entitled to accept an order by executing the order without prior confirmation. Acceptance can take place within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the order.

2. Oral agreements, promises, assurances, guarantees and statements about the intended use or application made by our employees in connection with the conclusion of the contract are non-binding and only become binding upon our confirmation in text form.

3. The provision with test certificates according to DIN EN 10204 requires consent in text form.

4. Any trade terms shall, in cases of doubt, be interpreted according to the Incoterms as amended from time to time.

III. Prices

1. Our prices are quoted net cash ex works or warehouse and do not include packaging, freight, insurance and VAT, unless otherwise agreed.

2. The buyer bears the costs of handover, acceptance and despatch of the delivery item to a place other than the place of fulfilment.

3. If, more than four weeks after conclusion of the contract, the sum of the costs incurred outside our company which are included in the agreed price changes, we shall be entitled to adjust the prices to the corresponding extent in each case on the first day of the calendar month. In the event that the adjusted price exceeds the initial price by more than 10%, the Buyer shall have the right to withdraw from the contract with regard to the quantities affected by the price adjustment upon the price adjustment taking effect. The right of rescission can only be exercised within one week of becoming aware of or being able to take note of the price adjustment.

IV. Payment and Set-Off

1. Unless otherwise agreed or stated in our invoices, the purchase price is due immediately after delivery without discount and is to be paid in such a way that we can dispose of the amount on the due date. This also applies if the test certificates according to DIN EN 10204 are not part of the delivery or arrive late. Any payment transfer costs shall be borne by the Buyer.

2. Any agreed cash discount always relates to the invoiced value excluding packaging costs, freight and insurance. Cash discount will only be granted if and in so far as the Buyer has completely paid all payables due at the time of the discount. Unless otherwise agreed to, discount periods shall begin with the date of the invoice.

3. Should it become evident after the conclusion of the contract, that payment is jeopardised by the Buyer’s lack in financial means, or should the Buyer be in default with a considerable portion of the amount due or should other circumstances arise which show a material deterioration in the Buyer's financial position we are entitled to the rights of § 321 BGB (German Civil Code) and to refrain from any further performance. This also applies insofar as our obligation to perform is not yet due. In such cases, we are also authorised to make due any and all of our non-statute-barred accounts receivable resulting from the same legal relationship. A lack of ability to pay on the part of the Buyer is also deemed to exist if the Buyer is at least three weeks in arrears with a substantial amount (from 10% due), furthermore the substantial downgrading of the limit existing for him with our trade credit insurance.

4. If the term of payment is exceeded or in case of default, we shall charge interest in the amount of the statutory default interest rate, unless higher interest rates have been agreed. In addition, we shall be entitled to charge a lump sum for default amounting to 40.00 EUR. We reserve the right to claim further damages.

5. The Buyer may retain or set off any counterclaims only in so far as such claims are undisputed or have become legally binding and as they are based on the same contractual relation with the Buyer and/or as they would entitle him to refuse the fulfilment of his contractual duties under section 320 BGB (German Civil Code).

V. Performance of deliveries, Delivery Times, Call off orders, force majeure

1. Our commitment to deliver is subject to our correct, timely and contractual self-delivery, unless attributable to our fault and in case of imported material additionally under provision of timely receipt of monitoring documents and import licenses, unless we are responsible for the incorrect or delayed self-delivery.

2. Any confirmation as to delivery times shall only be approximate. Delivery times shall commence with the date of our order confirmation or with the date of the call for delivery respectively and are subject to the timely clarification of all details of the order as well as of the fulfilment of any of the Buyer’s obligations, e.g. to produce official certifications, to provide letters of credit and payment guarantees, to pay agreed advance payments or to forward drawings approved by the Buyer.

3. Any agreed delivery time shall be considered to be met if and in so far the goods have left the works or our warehouse at such time or date. If and in so far the goods fail to be despatched at the agreed time for reasons not attributable to us, the agreed delivery time shall be considered to have been met at the day on which the goods are notified to be ready for dispatch.

4. If we are in default, the buyer is obliged to set us a reasonable period of time for subsequent performance. After expiry of this period he may withdraw from the contract if the goods have not been reported as ready for dispatch by the expiry of the deadline.

5. The buyer has to ensure an undisturbed delivery of the goods and shall refer timely to difficult delivery conditions. The buyer shall unload properly, without delay and have crane assistance or a forklift ready for this purpose. If we or third parties assist in unloading, no legal obligation is incurred and the risk is entirely with the buyer.

6. If the individual call-offs exceed the contractual quantity in total, we shall be entitled but not obliged to deliver the excess quantity. We may charge for the excess quantity at the prices valid at the time of the call-off or delivery.

7. Call-off orders oblige the Buyer to accept the total quantity on which the call order is based. Unless otherwise agreed, call-off orders are to be processed within 365 days of conclusion of the contract. After expiry of this period, we shall be entitled to store the goods not called off at the expense and risk of the Buyer and to charge him for them.

8. Force majeure events, in particular wars, natural disasters or political unrest and the associated effects, entitle us to postpone the deliveries for the period of the hold-up and an appropriate start-up time. This also applies if such events occur during a present default. Force majeure is the equivalent of monetary or trade measures or other acts of sovereignty (e.g. anti-dumping or countervailing investigations, registration of imports, or the like) strikes, lockouts, breakdowns not caused by us (e.g. Fire, machinery or roller breakdown, shortage of raw materials and lack of energy), pandemics and their effects, obstruction of transport routes, delays in clearing the goods for import and in customs clearance, insolvency of our supplier as well as of all other circumstances, that essentially impede or render the deliveries and performances impossible resp. economically unreasonable, without being caused by us. Thereby, it is irrelevant if the circumstances occur with us, the mill or with one of our suppliers. If performance becomes unacceptable for one of the parties due to the abovementioned events, the party shall be able to withdraw from the contract by instant declaration in text form.

9. The Buyer is obliged tocompensate us for any damage incurred as a result of a delay in acceptance, in particular the costs incurred by us for the waiting time of the labour force and any downtime.

10. We shall be entitled to make partial deliveries at reasonable quantities. We may also exceed or reduce the agreed quantities as appropriate.

VI. Dispatch, Passing of Risk, Packaging, Partial Delivery

1. We shall be entitled to choose the route and mode of dispatch as well as the forwarding agent and the carrier. Unless otherwise agreed in text form, our deliveries shall be made from our warehouse, so that the shipping costs are to be paid by the buyer.

2. Can, by reasons not attributable to us, the goods not be shipped or will it become significantly difficult to ship the goods via the designated route or to the designated place within the designated time, we reserve the right to ship them via a different route or to a different place. Any additional costs will be borne by the Buyer. We will, in such cases, ask the Buyer for his prior comments

3. The goods will be delivered unpacked and not be protected against rust. Only if agreed upon, the goods will be delivered packed. Any package, protection and/or transport device will be supplied according to our experience and at the Buyer's cost. If the buyer has given us special instructions for the type of packaging and despatch, we are not obliged to check their suitability. We will take back such devices at our warehouse within a reasonable period of time without compensation. We will not bear any costs for their re-transport or disposal.

4. In the case of call-off orders the risk is transferred to the Buyer at the time of the provision of the goods for collection. In all other transactions, including freight prepaid and freight-free deliveries, the risk of loss or damage to the goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time where we hand them over to the forwarding agent or to the carrier, at the latest with their departure from the works or the warehouse. The Buyer shall unload the goods at his costs. We will buy insurance only if requested to by the Buyer and at his cost.

6. The Buyer shall immediately request delivery of those goods which have been notified to him as ready for dispatch. Otherwise we are entitled, upon reminder, to ship such goods at the Buyer’s cost and risk or to store them at our discretion and to invoice them to the Buyer. The passing of risk takes place with the notification of readiness for dispatch to the buyer. If the material is not retrieved within 4 days after notification of readiness for dispatch, we shall be entitled to dispatch the goods ourselves. Delivery is generally ex works.

VII. Retention of Title

1. The goods delivered to the Buyer shall remain our property until the full purchase price is paid. The Buyer shall take all measures required to preserve the retention of title – or of an equivalent security in the country of his branch or in a different country of destination -, and to provide the corresponding evidence upon our request.

2. To the extent permitted by the laws of the country, in which the goods are located, the following additional regulations apply:

a. The goods delivered to the Buyer shall remain our property (Reserved Property) until all of the Buyer’s accounts resulting from the business relationship with him, in particular, any account balances have been settled. This condition shall apply to any future as well as any conditional claims, e.g. from bills of exchange and such cases where the Buyer will affect payments on specifically designated claims. As soon as the Buyer has settled his accounts with us in full, he shall obtain title to those goods which were delivered to him before such payment was effected. The current account reservation applies not in in prepayment or delivery vs payment cases.

b. With regard to processing or manufacturing of the Reserved Property, we shall be deemed to be manufacturer within the meaning of section 950 BGB (German Civil Code) without committing us in any way. The processed or manufactured goods shall be regarded as Reserved Property within the meaning of clause VII.2 a. of these Conditions. If the Buyer manufactures, combines or mixes the Reserved Property with other goods we shall obtain co-ownership in the new goods in proportion to the invoiced price of the Reserved Property to the invoiced price of the other goods. If, by such combining or mixing, our ownership expires, the Buyer herewith transfers to us any rights which the Buyer will have in the new stock or goods in proportion to the invoiced price of the Reserved Property, and he will keep them in safe custody free of charge. Our co-ownership rights shall be regarded as Reserved Property within the meaning of clause VII.2 a. of these Conditions.

c. The Buyer may resell the Reserved Property only within the normal course of his business in accordance with his normal business terms and provided he is not in default of payment and provided also that any rights resulting from such resale will be transferred to us in accordance with clause VII.2 d. – e. of these Conditions. The Buyer shall not be entitled to dispose of the Reserved Property in any other way.

d. The Buyer hereby assigns to us any claims resulting from the resale of the Reserved Property. We hereby accept the assignment. Such claims shall serve as our security to the same extent as the Reserved Property itself. If the Reserved Property is resold by the Buyer together with other goods not purchased from us, then any receivables resulting from such resale shall be assigned to us in the ratio of the invoiced value of the other goods sold by the Buyer. In the case of resale of goods in which we have co-ownership rights pursuant to clause VII.2 b., the assignment shall be limited to the part which corresponds to our co-ownership rights.

e. The Buyer shall be entitled to collect any receivables resulting from the resale of the Reserved Property. This right shall expire if withdrawn by us, at the latest if the Buyer defaults in payment, fails to honour a bill of exchange or files for bankruptcy. We shall exert our right of revocation only if and in so far as it becomes evident after the conclusion of the contract that payment resulting from this contract or from other contracts is jeopardised by the lack of Buyer's ability to pay. The Buyer shall - upon our request - immediately inform his customers of such assignment and to forward to us any information and documents necessary for collection.

f. The Buyer shall immediately inform us of any seizure or any other attachment of the Reserved Property by a third party. He shall bear any costs necessary to suspend such seizure or attachment, to sort out or to remove the Reserved Property, if and in so far as such costs are not borne by a third party.

g. Should the total invoiced value of our collateral exceed the amount of the secured receivables including additional claims for interest, costs etc. by more than 50 %, we shall - upon the Buyer's request - release pro tanto collateral at our discretion.

VIII. Weight

1. For the weight of the goods, the weight determined by our or our suppliers’ scales shall be decisive. The weight shall be evidenced by presentation of the pertinent weight check. Weights of standardised steel products can alternatively be determined theoretically without weighing according to length and/or theoretically on the basis in accordance with the size of the goods, it being understood that we can determine the size of the goods by recognized statistical methods. We are also entitled to increase the theoretical weight by 5 % to compensate for rolling and thickness tolerances.

2. Any indications given in the delivery notes as to the number of pieces, bundles etc. are not binding, if and in so far as the goods are invoiced by weight. Unless individual weighing has been agreed, the total weight of the delivery shall prevail. Any difference with regard to the calculated weight of the single pieces shall be proportionally allocated to them.

IX. Inspection Documents, Inspection

1. Any supply of Inspection Documents („Certificates") acc. to EN 10204 must be agreed upon in text form. We may transmit such document as a copy or transcript. In case the price for such documents has not been agreed within the contract, we will calculate it on the basis of our price list.

2. Where testing and inspection of the goods by third parties has been agreed upon or where agreed upon material standards provide for such testing and inspection, it can only take place in the supplying plant or in our warehouse immediately after the Buyer has been informed that the goods are ready for inspection. The Buyer shall ensure that we can commission the desired inspection / certification company on his behalf and for his account or for his customer´s. Unless otherwise agreed, this authorisation shall be deemed to have been granted if an accepting company is named in the order. If we commission a subsequent external inspection / certification for the Buyer, the risk of such inspection / certification shall be borne by the Buyer. Any fees and other costs incurred as well as the material used shall be reimbursed by the Buyer and the goods shall be accepted in full despite failure.

3. The Buyer shall bear his personal inspection costs, whereas the costs of inspection will be invoiced to him in accordance with our price list or with the price list of the delivering plant. Should, through no fault of ours, an inspection of the goods fail or be delayed or be incomplete, we shall be entitled to dispatch the goods without prior inspection or to store them at the Buyer’s costs and risk and to invoice the goods to him.

X. Warranty Provisions

1. The internal and external properties of the goods, especially their quality, grade and dimensions, shall be determined primarily in accordance with the agreed quality, in particular in accordance with the contractually agreed standards, data sheets, material sheets or other technical provisions. References to standards and other sets of regulations, to test certificates according to DIN EN 10204 and other attestations as well as particulars of qualities, grades, measures and use of the goods are no warranties or guaranties, just as little declarations of conformity and corresponding markings such as CE and GS.

2. We do not bear any liability for a presumed use of the goods under the contract. Rather, it is generally the responsibility of the Buyer to check the suitability of the goods for the presumed use. Other provisions shall only apply if we were informed of the intended use by the Buyer in text form at the latest when the contract of sale was concluded and have expressly agreed to this use in text form. The simple reception of the buyer's production specifications (sketches, drawings, CAD files or similar) as well as the reiteration of use or project designations from the buyer's order in our order confirmation does not constitute consent to the presumed use. Unclear information in production specifications are at the risk of the Buyer.

3. For the inspection of the goods and the indication of defects the statutory provisions apply, it being understood that the duty to inspect the delivered goods includes the inspection of the bottom side of heavy plates, as well as eventual test certificates according to or correlating to DIN EN 10204 and any defects of the goods and test certificates are notified to us in text form. Any transport damage can only be taken into account if it is noted on the delivery note. In this respect, the notification obligations of the German Freight Forwarders' Standard Terms and Conditions (AdSP) shall apply. Defects that cannot be discovered immediately after delivery, even with the most careful inspection, must be reported to us in text form immediately after discovery.

4. In case the Buyer intends to install the goods into another object or attach the goods to another object, prior to installation resp. attachment, the buyer has the obligation to inspect the goods at least at random with regard to properties relevant for the application in question and to notify us of defects without delay. In case the buyer, in the event of an installation of the goods into another object or attachment of the goods to another object, fails to inspect the properties of the goods relevant for the designated end use at least at random prior to installation resp. attachment, this represents a particularly grave disregard of the care required in the ordinary course of business (gross negligence) in relation to us. In such a case, the buyer may assert rights in relation to these properties only if the defect had been deliberately concealed or in case of a guarantee for the respective quality of the goods.

5. If and in so far the Buyer’s claim for defects is justified and has been made in time, we may, upon our discretion, remedy the defect or deliver non-defective goods (subsequent performance). The place of performance for subsequent performance is our registered office. Should we fail or decline the supplementary performance, the buyer may resort to his statutory rights. In cases where the defect is only minor or where the goods have already been resold, processed or transformed, he may only reduce the purchase price.

6. In case the Buyer has installed the goods, in accordance with the goods’ type and designated use, into another object or attached the goods to another object, he may claim reimbursement of his necessary costs for the dismantling of the defective goods and the installation or attachment of goods free from defects (“dismantling and installation costs”) only in accordance with the following provisions:

a. Necessary dismantling and installation costs are only those, which directly result from the dismantling resp. removal of the defective goods and the installation resp. attachment of identical goods, have accrued on the basis of competitive market prices and have been proven by the Buyer by appropriate documents in text form.

b. Additional costs of the Buyer for consequential damages such as e.g. loss of profit, down time costs or additional costs for cover purchases are no dismantling and installation costs and therefore not recoverable under Sect. 439 para. 3 BGB (German Civil Code). The same applies for sorting costs and for supplementary costs resulting from the fact that the sold and delivered goods are at a place other than the agreed place of delivery.

c. The Buyer is not entitled to request advance payments for dismantling and installations cost or other expenses required for the remedy of the defective delivery.

7. We will reimburse the Buyer for his expenditures in connection with the supplementary performance only in so far as such expenditures are reasonable and not disproportionate in relation to the value of the goods. Disproportionate expenditures are given in case the expenditures requested by the Buyer, in particular dismantling and installation costs, exceed 150 % of the purchase price of the goods invoiced by us or 200 % of the value of the defective merchandise. If the last contract in the supply chain is a consumer sale, the reimbursement of expenses shall be limited to the appropriate amount. Costs of the Buyer related to the self-remedy of defects without the legal requirements being fulfilled, are excluded, the same applies for costs for disassembly of the defective and assembly of replacement goods, in case due to a transformation of the Buyer before the assembly, the assembled goods provide substantially different features than the original goods delivered by us. Expenditures accrued by delivery of goods to another place than that of the agreed performance, will not be accepted.

8. If the Buyer fails to immediately give to us the opportunity to inspect the defect, especially if he fails - upon our request - to immediately make the goods or samples hereof available to us, all rights due to the material defect shall lapse.

9. No warranty shall be given to goods sold as declassified material with regard to such defects either specified in the contract or to those normally to be expected. Goods classified as “IIa-Ware” (“secondaries”) are not subject to any warranty, subject to IX.2 of these terms. Unless otherwise agreed and as far as the respective standards are fulfilled, surface corrosion is no defect.

10. Agreements between the Buyer and his purchasers which exceed the statutory warranty claims are not binding for us.

11. Our further liability is subject to Section XI. of these Conditions. Any of the Buyer’s rights of recourse according to section 445a BGB (German Civil Code) are excluded, unless the last contract in the supply chain is a consumer sale. Section 478 BGB (German Civil Code) shall remain unaffected.

XI. Restriction of Liability and Limitation Periods

1. Our liability for breach of contractual or extra-contractual obligations, in particular for non-performed or deferred deliveries, for breach of duties prior to the contract (“Verschulden bei Vertragsanbahnung”) as well as for tortuous acts - including our responsibility for our managerial staff and any other person employed in performing our obligations - shall be restricted to damages caused by our wrongful intent or by our gross negligence and shall in cases of gross negligence not exceed the foreseeable losses and damages characteristic for the type of contract in question. In all other respects, our liability, also for damages caused by defects and consequential damages, is excluded.

2. The aforesaid restriction shall not apply to such cases where we breach our fundamental contractual obligations and therefore the accomplishment of the purpose of the contract is at risk or where the non-fulfilment of the obligations the contracting party relies on renders the proper completion of the contract impossible. It shall neither pertain to damages to life, to the body or to health caused by our fault nor to any cases where we have guaranteed certain characteristics of the goods. Nor shall such clause affect our statutory liability laid down in the Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) of 15/12/89. Any statutory rules regarding the burden of proof shall remain unaffected by the aforesaid.

3. Unless otherwise agreed, any contractual claims which the Buyer is entitled to in connection with the delivery of the goods, shall fall under the statute of limitations within a period of one year after the goods have been delivered to the Buyer. This restriction shall not apply to our liability and to the limitation of claims in connection with the delivery of goods which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary manner of use and which have caused its defectiveness and claims resulting from breaches of contract caused by our wrongful intent or by our gross negligence; neither to damages to life, to the body and to health caused by our fault, in cases of mandatory liability under the Product Liability Act, and to the limitation of statutory recourse claims. In these cases, the statutory limitation periods shall apply. In the event of subsequent performance, the limitation period shall not start anew but rather is suspended until the end of a three month’s period after the subsequent performance.

4. If the goods are delivered into third countries outside the EU, the Buyer is responsible for compliance with the official safety regulations and statutory provisions on product liability that go beyond the corresponding European regulations and provisions. If claims are asserted against us for breach of these safety regulations or statutory provisions, the Buyer shall be obliged to indemnify us against these claims at our first request.

XII. Export Control

1. If our deliveries require prior export or import authorization of any government and/or state authority, or if the delivery is otherwise restricted or prohibited due to national or international laws, we shall be entitled to suspend performance of our delivery or other contractual obligations until such authorization has been granted or such restriction or prohibition has been cancelled. If the delivery depends on the granting of export or import authorization and such authorization is not granted, we shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract at any time. We shall not be liable for any delays in delivery, which result for the reasons specified in this clause and shall not be liable in the event that a delivery cannot be performed at all due to export regulations unless we have acted intentionally or with gross negligence. The same shall apply in the case of any justified withdrawal from the contract according to this clause.

2. By conclusion of the contract, or at the latest by accepting the delivery, the Buyer warrants that he shall not conduct any business with the goods delivered by us, which breaches any applicable statutory export regulations and/or any current EU sanctions, and shall especially execute any further deliveries, transfers or exports of the delivered goods solely in compliance with the applicable statutory export control regulations.

3. The Buyer shall be obliged to ensure that no persons, entities or bodies are involved in the execution of the contract or are thereby supported, which are listed on the anti-terror and sanctions lists of the European Community and the United Nations applicable at the time. This shall also apply with respect to any persons, entities or bodies that are listed on the anti-terror and sanctions lists of other governments (in particular the US Denied Persons List, US Entity List, US Specially Designated Nationals List, US Debarred List).

XIII. Place of Performance, Jurisdiction and Applicable Law, Data protection

1. The place of performance for our deliveries and for payments of the Buyer shall be our registered office. Exclusive - also international - place of jurisdiction is our registered office. If the Buyer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law or has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction - including international jurisdiction - shall be the place of our registered office. However, we are also entitled to sue the buyer at any other general or special place of jurisdiction.

2. All legal relationships between us and the Buyer, the law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply in addition to these Conditions, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods of 11 April 1980 (CISG).

3. The data of our customers are stored and processed by us in accordance with the requirements of the DSGVO.

XIV. Safeguard- measures

1. To the extent that we import the goods intended for the Buyer into the territory of the European Union, pursuant to the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/159 of 31.01.2019, as amended from time to time, tariff quotas shall apply to certain categories of goods, upon exhaustion of which an additional duty of 25% shall be assessed.

2. Our obligation to import the goods into the European Union as well as the agreed delivery date is therefore subject to the proviso that at the time of the intended import the relevant tariff quota is not exhausted or critical and that therefore no additional duty and no security are assessed. Otherwise we are entitled to postpone the delivery date by up to 3 months until the import is possible again without assessment of the additional duty, e.g. because new tariff quotas are opened.

3. If we import the goods and the tariff quotas are already exhausted, critical or overbooked on the day of import without this being recognisable to us on the day of import by inspection of publicly accessible documents, the Buyer shall bear any resulting additional duty (if applicable, the proportion attributable to him) or the corresponding security deposit. We are entitled to charge him the resulting additional costs in addition to the agreed purchase price.

XV. Miscellaneous

1. If a buyer who is resident outside the Federal Republic of Germany (foreign customer) or his authorised representative collects the delivery item or transports or dispatches it abroad, the Buyer must provide us with the proof of export required for tax purposes. If this proof is not provided, the Buyer shall pay the VAT applicable to deliveries within the Federal Republic of Germany on the invoice amount.

2. In case of deliveries from the Federal Republic of Germany to other EU member states, the Buyer must provide his VAT identification number under which he carries out the purchase taxation within the EU. This proof must be provided to us prior to the delivery. If this proof is not provided prior to the delivery or not at all, it is the Buyers liability to pay the legally owed VAT amount for our deliveries in addition to the agreed purchase price.

3. When invoicing deliveries from the Federal Republic of Germany to other EU member states, the VAT regulations of the respective recipient member state shall apply if either the buyer is registered for VAT in this EU member state or if we are registered for VAT in this EU member state.

XVI. Applicable Version

In cases of doubt, the German version of these General Conditions of Sale shall apply.
