A. General Conditions of Sale Entrepreneurs

§ 1 General

1. The following general terms and conditions of sale for entrepreneurs (AVB) are part of all offers, declarations of acceptance and other declarations by Faßbender Tenten GmbH & Co. KG - hereinafter seller - if the buyer is an entrepreneur (§ 14 BGB), a legal entity under public law or a public is a legal special fund
2. These AVB apply exclusively. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of the buyer/customer only become part of the contract if and to the extent that we have expressly agreed to their validity. This requirement for consent also applies in any case, for example, if the buyer refers to his general terms and conditions in the context of the order and we do not expressly object to this
3. Unless otherwise agreed, the GTC in the version valid at the time of the order, at least in the version last communicated to the buyer in text form, also apply as a framework agreement for similar future contracts without the seller having to refer to them again in each individual case.
4. Legally relevant declarations and notifications by the buyer in relation to the contract (e.g. setting a deadline, notification of defects, withdrawal or reduction) must be made in writing. Written within the meaning of these AVB are declarations in written and text form (e.g. letter, e-mail, fax). Statutory formal requirements and other evidence, especially in the case of doubts about the legitimacy of the declarant, remain unaffected.
5. References to the validity of legal regulations only have clarifying meaning. Even without such a clarification, the statutory provisions apply unless they are directly modified or expressly excluded in these AVB.

§ 2 Content of contract

1. Offers are non-binding. This also applies if the buyer is provided with catalogues, technical documentation (e.g. drawings, plans, calculations, references to DIN standards), other product descriptions or documents - also in electronic form - to which the seller has ownership rights and copyrights reserved. Information provided by the seller on the subject of the delivery or service (e.g. weights, dimensions, utility values, resilience, tolerances and technical data) as well as representations of the same (e.g. drawings and illustrations) are only approximately relevant unless the usability for the contractually intended purpose requires an exact match . They are not guaranteed quality features, but descriptions or identification of the delivery or service. Deviations that are customary in the trade and deviations that occur due to legal regulations or represent technical improvements, as well as the replacement of components with equivalent parts are permissible, provided they do not impair the usability for the contractually intended purpose.
2. The ordering of the goods by the buyer is considered a binding contract offer. Acceptance can be declared either in writing (e.g. by order confirmation) or by delivery of the goods to the buyer.

§ 3 Prices and terms of payment

1. The prices quoted by the contractor do not include statutory sales tax, unless sales tax has been expressly stated. Prices apply ex warehouse plus costs for packaging, transport, freight, customs duties, fees, taxes and other public charges. If the statutory sales tax should change after the conclusion of the contract, the statutory sales tax valid at the time of the service shall apply.
2. Due to the strongly fluctuating market prices in the building materials trade, the prices mentioned are guide prices. The seller reserves the right to adjust the prices to be paid by the buyer accordingly if, after conclusion of the contract and up to the time of delivery, there are changes in costs, in particular due to changes in the net purchase prices to be paid by the seller to manufacturers or other suppliers due to changes in material prices, wage agreements, increased raw material and energy prices or transport costs by more than 5%.
3. In the event of a change in cost factors that lead to a reduction in the costs of the agreed service, the buyer is entitled to a price reduction in accordance with the provision in paragraph 2).
4. If one of the parties demands a price adjustment, the other party has the right to withdraw if it cannot reasonably be expected to adhere to the changed contract.
5. For goods and services that are delivered or provided later than 4 months after the conclusion of the contract, the seller has the right to increase or decrease prices if the costs have changed due to the reasons mentioned in paragraph 2), even without the prerequisites of the above paragraphs are available.

§ 4 Delivery, delivery times, returns

1. Delivery is ex warehouse, which is also the place of performance for the delivery and any supplementary performance. At the request and expense of the buyer, the goods will be sent to another destination (sales by mail). Unless otherwise agreed, the seller is entitled to determine the type of shipment (in particular transport company, shipping route, packaging) himself.
2. The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods passes to the buyer at the latest when the goods are handed over. In the case of mail-order sales, however, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods as well as the risk of delay already passes when the goods are delivered to the forwarding agent, the carrier or the otherwise to the person or institution responsible for carrying out the shipment. If acceptance has been agreed, this is decisive for the transfer of risk. For the rest, the statutory provisions of the law on contracts for work and services apply accordingly to an agreed acceptance. The handover or acceptance is the same if the buyer is in default of acceptance.
3. Delivery free construction site or free warehouse means delivery without unloading, provided there is an access road up to the curb that can be driven on by a heavy truck. If the delivery vehicle leaves the passable access road at the request of the buyer, which the seller does not have to comply with, the buyer is liable for any damage that occurs. The buyer must unload the goods promptly and properly. Waiting times are charged to the buyer. When goods are delivered and unloaded by crane, the seller charges fees according to the currently valid logistics service price list and forwarding conditions. These are announced on a notice board in the business premises and handed over to the buyer on request. If the buyer is in default of acceptance, fails to cooperate or if the delivery is delayed for other reasons for which the buyer is responsible, the seller is entitled to demand compensation for the resulting damage, including additional expenses (e.g. storage costs). The seller is entitled to demand flat-rate compensation in accordance with the applicable logistics service price list and forwarding conditions. Proof of greater damage and statutory claims to which the seller is entitled (in particular reimbursement of additional expenses, reasonable compensation, termination) remain unaffected; however, the lump sum is to be offset against further monetary claims. The buyer is entitled to prove that the seller has suffered no damage at all or only a significantly lower damage than the above flat rate.
4. Delivery periods must be designated as such and expressly agreed individually. All other data provided by the seller are non-binding.
5. The seller is not liable for impossibility of delivery or for delays in delivery, insofar as these are caused by force majeure or other events that were not foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded (e.g. operational disruptions of all kinds, difficulties in procuring materials or energy, transport delays, strikes, lawful lockouts, lack of labour, energy or raw materials, difficulties in obtaining the necessary official permits, pandemics or epidemics, official measures or the lack of, incorrect or late delivery by suppliers despite a congruent hedging transaction concluded by the seller, for which the seller is not responsible If such events make the delivery or service significantly more difficult or impossible for the seller and the hindrance is not only of a temporary nature, the seller is entitled to withdraw from the contract Delivery or service dates around the period of the hindrance plus a reasonable start-up period. If the buyer cannot reasonably be expected to accept the delivery or service as a result of the delay, he can withdraw from the contract by means of an immediate written declaration to the seller.
6. The seller grants the buyer a right of return for goods in stock. The right of return is excluded if the goods are not in a resalable condition, in particular if the packaging is damaged or if a best-before date has been exceeded. The right of return does not exist for goods that have been assembled for the customer. In the event of a return, the customer will receive a credit note for the value of the goods less any delivery or logistics costs incurred and still to be incurred. 

§ 5 Withdrawal / right of retention

1. The seller is entitled to withdraw from the contract or to withdraw from the offer if the buyer gives false information about his creditworthiness.
2. The seller can - without prejudice to his rights arising from the buyer's default - demand from the buyer an extension of delivery and service periods or a postponement of delivery and service dates by the period in which the buyer does not fulfill his contractual obligations towards the seller.

§ 6 Payment

1. The purchase price is payable immediately upon receipt of the goods without deduction or according to an individual agreement.
2. The seller is also entitled at any time within the framework of an ongoing business relationship to carry out a delivery in whole or in part only against advance payment. He declares a corresponding reservation at the latest with the order confirmation.
3. In the event of payment difficulties on the part of the buyer, in particular in the event of insolvency, default in payment, check or bill of exchange protest, bad credit or blocking of credit insurance, the seller is also entitled to make all outstanding invoice amounts, including those that have been deferred, due immediately and to demand cash payment or security against the return of bills of exchange accepted as payment. In such cases, any agreed terms of payment and discounts do not apply. If the buyer does not comply with a request for security or payment within a deadline, the seller is entitled to withdraw from the contract. In the case of contracts for the manufacture of non-fungible items (custom-made products), the seller can withdraw immediately; the statutory provisions on the dispensability of setting a deadline remain unaffected.
4. If the seller grants the buyer a discount, the discount base is generally a maximum of 85% of the invoice amount. Invoices from rentals are not discountable.
5. If the seller grants the buyer a discount period based on a contractual agreement, the buyer is in default when the agreed period expires. The purchase price is subject to interest at 12% during the delay. The seller reserves the right to assert further damage caused by delay. The entitlement to commercial default interest (Section 353 HGB) remains unaffected by merchants.
6. The buyer is only entitled to set-off or retention rights insofar as his claim has been legally established or is undisputed. In the event of defects in the delivery, the counterclaims of the buyer, in particular according to the following Section 7 of these AVB, remain unaffected.

§ 7 Claims for defects by the buyer

1. The statutory provisions shall apply to the buyer's rights in the event of material defects and defects of title (including incorrect and short deliveries as well as improper assembly/installation or defective instructions), unless otherwise specified below. In all cases, the special statutory provisions on reimbursement of expenses in the event of final delivery of the newly manufactured goods to a consumer (supplier recourse in accordance with §§ 478, 445a, 445b or §§ 445c, 327 Paragraph 5, 327u BGB) remain unaffected, unless, e.g. within the framework a quality assurance agreement, equivalent compensation has been agreed.
2. The basis of liability for defects is above all the agreement made on the condition and the anticipated use of the goods (including accessories and instructions). All product descriptions and manufacturer information that are the subject of the individual contract or that were made public by the seller at the time the contract was concluded are deemed to be quality agreements in this sense. Public statements by the manufacturer or on its behalf, in particular in advertising or on the label of the goods, take precedence over statements by other third parties.
3. In the case of goods with digital elements or other digital content, the seller only owes provision and, if necessary, an update of the digital content if this expressly results from a quality agreement in accordance with paragraph 2. The seller assumes no liability for public statements by the manufacturer and other third parties.
4. In principle, the seller is not liable for defects that the buyer is aware of at the time the contract is concluded or is unaware of due to gross negligence. Furthermore, the buyer's claims for defects presuppose that he has complied with his statutory inspection and notification obligations (§§ 377, 381 HGB). In the case of building materials and other goods intended for installation or other further processing, an inspection must be carried out immediately before processing. If a defect becomes apparent upon delivery, inspection or at any later point in time, the seller must be notified of this in writing without delay. In any case, obvious defects must be reported in writing within 2 working days of delivery and defects that cannot be identified during the inspection must be reported in writing within the same period of time after discovery. If the buyer fails to carry out the proper inspection and/or notification of defects, the liability of the seller for the defect that is not reported or not reported in a timely manner or not properly is excluded in accordance with the statutory provisions. In the case of goods intended for installation, attachment or installation, this also applies if the defect only became apparent after the corresponding processing as a result of the breach of one of these obligations; in this case, the buyer has no claims for reimbursement of corresponding costs (“removal and installation costs”). The obligation to examine and give notice of defects also applies in particular to deliveries made directly by the manufacturer or other suppliers (drop shipment).
5. If the delivered item is defective, the seller can initially choose whether to provide supplementary performance by eliminating the defect (repair) or by delivering a defect-free item (replacement delivery).
6. The seller is entitled to make the supplementary performance owed dependent on the buyer paying the purchase price due. However, the buyer is entitled to retain a part of the purchase price that is reasonable in relation to the defect.
7. The buyer must give the seller the necessary time and opportunity for the supplementary performance owed, in particular to hand over the goods complained about for inspection purposes. In the case of a replacement delivery, the buyer must return the defective item at the seller's request in accordance with the statutory provisions; However, the buyer does not have a right of return.
8. The seller shall bear the expenses required for the purpose of testing and supplementary performance, in particular transport, travel, labor and material costs as well as any dismantling and installation costs in accordance with the statutory provisions if there is actually a defect. Otherwise, he can demand reimbursement from the buyer for the costs incurred from the unjustified request for rectification of defects if the buyer knew or negligently did not know that there was actually no defect.
9. Claims of the buyer for damages or reimbursement of wasted expenses only exist in the case of defects in accordance with the following § 8 and are otherwise excluded.

§ 8 Liability

1. Unless otherwise stated in these AVB including the following provisions, the seller is liable in the event of a breach of contractual and non-contractual obligations in accordance with the statutory provisions.
2. The seller is liable for damages - for whatever legal reason - within the framework of fault-based liability in the event of intent and gross negligence. In the event of simple negligence, he is only liable, subject to statutory limitations of liability
   a) for damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health,
   b) for damages resulting from the breach of a material contractual obligation (obligation, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner regularly relies and may rely); in this case, however, the liability of the seller is limited to compensation for the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
3. The limitations of liability resulting from paragraph 2 also apply to third parties and to breaches of duty by persons (also in their favor) for whose fault the seller is responsible according to statutory provisions. They do not apply if a defect has been fraudulently concealed or if a guarantee has been given for the quality of the goods and for any claims by the buyer under the Product Liability Act.
4. Due to a breach of duty that does not consist of a defect, the buyer can only withdraw or terminate if the seller is responsible for the breach of duty. A free right of termination of the buyer (in particular according to §§ 650, 648 BGB) is excluded. Otherwise, the statutory requirements and legal consequences apply.
5. The above exclusions and limitations of liability apply to the same extent in favor of the organs, legal representatives, employees and other vicarious agents of the contractor.
6. Insofar as the seller provides technical information or acts in an advisory capacity and this information or advice is not part of the contractually agreed scope of services owed by him, this is done free of charge and to the exclusion of any liability.

§ 9 Retention of title

1. The delivered goods remain the property of the seller as reserved goods until the purchase price has been paid and all claims arising from the business relationship and the claims arising in connection with the object of purchase have been settled. The inclusion of individual claims in a current account or the drawing of the balance and their recognition do not cancel the retention of title. If, in connection with the payment of the purchase price by the buyer, the buyer is liable under a bill of exchange, the retention of title does not expire before the bill of exchange is honored by the buyer as drawee.
2. In the event of breach of contract by the buyer, in particular default in payment, the seller is entitled to take back the goods subject to retention of title after withdrawal and the buyer is obliged to surrender them. The seizure of the purchased item constitutes a withdrawal from the contract.
3. If the goods subject to retention of title are processed by the seller into a new movable item, the processing is carried out for the seller without the seller being obliged to do so. The new item becomes the property of the seller. If the goods are processed together with goods that do not belong to the seller, the seller acquires co-ownership of the new item according to the ratio of the value of the reserved goods to the other goods at the time of processing. If goods subject to retention of title are combined, mixed or blended with goods that do not belong to the seller in accordance with §§ 947, 948 of the German Civil Code, the seller becomes co-owner in accordance with the statutory provisions. If the buyer acquires sole ownership through connection, mixing or blending, he already transfers co-ownership to the seller in the ratio of the value of the reserved goods to the other goods at the time of connection, mixing or blending. In these cases, the buyer must keep the item owned or co-owned by the seller, which is also considered to be reserved goods within the meaning of the following provision, free of charge.
4. If reserved goods are sold by the buyer, alone or together with goods not belonging to the seller, the buyer hereby assigns the claims arising from the resale in the amount of the value of the reserved goods with all ancillary rights, and the seller accepts the assignment. The value of the goods subject to retention of title is the seller's invoice amount plus a security surcharge of 10%, which is not included if third-party rights conflict with it. If the resold reserved goods are co-owned by the seller, the assignment of the claims extends to the amount that corresponds to the seller's share of the co-ownership. Paragraph 1 sentence 2 applies accordingly to the extended retention of title. The assignment in advance pursuant to paragraph 4 sentences 1 and 3 also extends to the balance claim.
5. If reserved goods are built into the property of a third party by the buyer as an essential component, the buyer hereby assigns the claims for remuneration arising against the third party or the person concerned in the amount of the value of the reserved goods with all ancillary rights, including such a grant a security mortgage. The seller accepts the assignment. Paragraph 4 sentences 2 and 3 apply accordingly.
6. If the reserved goods are installed by the buyer as an essential part of the buyer's property, the buyer hereby assigns the claims from the commercial sale of the property or property rights corresponding to the value of the reserved goods with all ancillary rights. The seller accepts the assignment. Paragraph 4 sentences 2 and 3 apply accordingly.
7. The buyer is only entitled and authorized to resell, use or install the reserved goods in the usual, proper course of business and only with the proviso that the claim within the meaning of paragraphs 4 to 6 is actually transferred to the seller. The buyer is not entitled to other disposals of the goods subject to retention of title, in particular pledging or assignment by way of security.
8. The seller authorizes the buyer, subject to revocation, to collect the claims assigned in accordance with paragraphs 4 to 6. The seller will not make use of his own authority to collect as long as the buyer meets his payment obligations, including towards third parties. At the request of the seller, the buyer must name the debtors of the assigned claims and notify them of the assignment. The seller is authorized to notify the debtors of the assignment themselves.
9. The buyer must inform the seller immediately of any enforcement measures by third parties in relation to the goods subject to retention of title or the assigned claims, handing over the documents required for the objection.
10. With suspension of payments, application for or opening of insolvency proceedings or implementation of an out-of-court settlement procedure with the creditors regarding debt settlement, the right to resell, use or install the reserved goods and the authorization to collect the assigned claims expire. This applies accordingly to a check or bill of exchange protest.
11. If the value of the securities granted exceeds the claim by more than 20% according to the calculation of the value of the goods subject to retention of title in paragraph 4, the seller is obliged to retransfer or release the goods at his discretion. With the settlement of all claims of the seller from the business relationship, ownership of the reserved goods and the assigned claims pass to the buyer.

§ 10 Applicable Law and Place of Jurisdiction

1. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to the legal relationship between the seller and the buyer/customer. to the exclusion of uniform international law, in particular the UN Sales Convention.
2.

2. Illustrations or drawings contained in the seller's brochures, advertisements and other offer documents are only approximately authoritative, unless the seller has expressly designated the information contained therein as binding; in this respect, deviations in the delivered goods do not represent a defect in the objective requirements of the goods within the meaning of the preceding paragraph.

§ 4 Defects in the rented item / other liability

1.  If the lessee accepts the rental item with knowledge of a defect or damage, he can only derive rights from this if the defect or damage is recorded in the handover/acceptance protocol or in the delivery note.

In the event of defects occurring during the rental period, the lessee is obliged to inform the lessor in writing immediately after they have been discovered. Due to defects that occurred during the rental period, but which are only reported upon return, a reduction in rent is excluded.
