I. General, scope of application
1. The following General Terms and Conditions apply to all legal relationships between Seis Akustik and the customer.
These terms and conditions apply exclusively; Seis Akustik does not recognize conflicting or deviating conditions of the customer, unless Seis Akustik has expressly agreed to their validity in writing.
These terms and conditions also apply if Seis Akustik carries out the delivery to the customer without reservation in the knowledge that the customer's terms and conditions conflict with or deviate from the terms and conditions of Seis Akustik.
2. Decisive for the scope of services are the mutually agreed written declarations.
II. Angebot
1. The offers of Seis Akustik are subject to change. Contracts are only concluded after a written confirmation by Seis Akustik.
The content of the order confirmation from Seis Akustik is decisive for the contractual relationship.
2. Technical changes, deviations and errors in connection with brochures, catalogs, illustrations and price lists are reserved.
3. Seis Akustik reserves the unrestricted property and copyright exploitation rights to illustrations, descriptions and all other documents. The documents may only be made available to third parties with prior written permission. This also applies beyond the end of the contract.
III. Prices
1. Seis Akustik reserves the right to change the prices accordingly if, after the conclusion of the contract, cost reductions or cost increases occur, especially changes in the price of materials. Seis Akustik will provide the customer with proof of these changes upon request.
Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, the prices of Seis Akustik " ex warehouse Gehrden" apply, excluding packaging, freight, postage and insurance costs; these are invoiced separately.
2. If no fixed prices have been agreed upon, the calculation is based on the prices valid on the day of delivery. The prices quoted are non-binding net prices and do not include freight, postage and insurance costs ex warehouse Gehrden and do not include the applicable statutory value-added tax.
2. If Seis Akustik undertakes the delivery, installation and commissioning, and unless otherwise agreed, the customer is responsible for all necessary ancillary costs such as travel and transport costs in addition to the agreed remuneration.
IV. Terms of payment
1. Subject to the following provisions, invoices from Seis Akustik are due for payment without deduction within 10 working days after the invoice date. The deduction of a discount is only permitted after a separate written agreement.
2. Unless otherwise agreed upon, for orders with a total value of more than EUR 10,000.00 net as well as for remuneration for services to be rendered by Seis Akustik, e.g. assembly and installation, advance payments of 40% of the order amount are due upon order placement and of the remaining 60% upon acceptance.
3. If the payment deadline is exceeded, Seis Akustik is entitled to charge interest on arrears at a rate of 8% p.a. above the prime rate in accordance with § 247 Para.1 BGB, unless the customer can prove that Seis Akustik has not incurred any damage or only a significantly lower damage. Seis Akustik reserves the right to claim higher damages.
4. The customer can only offset such claims that are undisputed, legally established or recognized by Seis Akustik.
The customer is only entitled to a right of retention if it is based on the same contractual relationship.
V. Delivery
1. If no specific delivery periods have been agreed, deliveries will be made as soon as possible, i.e. according to the operational conditions. Partial deliveries and corresponding partial invoices are possible.
2. The observance of deadlines for deliveries presupposes the timely receipt of all documents to be supplied by the customer, in particular of plans and releases, as well as the observance of the agreed terms of payment and other obligations by the customer. If these prerequisites are not met in time, the deadlines shall be extended accordingly.
This does not apply if Seis Akustik is responsible for the delay. We reserve the right to raise the objection of non-performance of the contract.

In this case, the customer shall not be entitled to claim damages for delay.

Seis Akustik is also liable according to the legal regulations, if as a result of a delay in delivery for which Seis Akustik is responsible, the customer is entitled to claim that his interest in the further fulfillment of the contract has ceased. Seis Akustik is also liable according to the legal regulations, if the delay in delivery is due to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of contract for which Seis Akustik is responsible; a fault of the representatives or vicarious agents of Seis Akustik is attributable to Seis Akustik. If the delay in delivery is due to a grossly negligent breach of contract for which Seis Akustik is responsible, the liability of Seis Akustik for damages is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
6.Seis Akustik is also liable according to the legal regulations, if the delay in delivery for which Seis Akustik is responsible is based on the culpable violation of an essential contractual obligation; in this case, however, the liability for damages is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
7. In the event of a delay in delivery, the customer may, if he can credibly demonstrate that he has suffered damage as a result, demand lump-sum compensation amounting to 0.5% of the net order value for each completed week of the delay, but not exceeding a total of 5% of the net order value for that part of the deliveries which could not be put into operation due to the delay.
8. If the customer is in default of acceptance or culpably violates other obligations to cooperate, Seis Akustik is entitled, after the expiration of a reasonable grace period, to demand compensation from Seis Akustik for any damages incurred, including any additional expenses, or to withdraw from the contract. Further claims or rights are reserved.
If the above conditions are met, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the purchased item shall pass to the customer at the point in time at which the customer is in default of acceptance or debtor's delay.

If dispatch or delivery is delayed at the customer's request by more than one month after notification of readiness for delivery or dispatch, the customer may be charged storage fees in the amount of 0.5% of the net order value of the items of the supplies for each additional month or part thereof, but not more than a total of 5% of the net order value.

The proceeds of the sale shall be credited against the customer's liabilities, less reasonable costs of sale.
3. The customer is obliged to treat the goods with care, to maintain them in good condition and to inform Seis Akustik immediately of any damage or loss. The customer is obligated to insure the goods sufficiently at replacement value.

The customer hereby assigns to Seis Akustik all claims in the amount of the total invoice amount, including VAT, that accrue to him from the resale against his customers or third parties, regardless of whether the goods were resold without or after processing. Seis Akustik remains authorized to collect this claim even after the assignment. The authority of Seis Akustik to collect the claim itself remains unaffected. Seis Akustik, however, undertakes not to collect the claim
as long as the customer meets his payment obligations from the collected proceeds, does not fall into arrears and, in particular, no application for the opening of insolvency or composition proceedings has been made or payments have been suspended. However, if this is the case, Seis Akustik can demand that the customer informs Seis Akustik of the assigned claims and their debtors, provides all information necessary for collection, hands over the relevant documents and immediately notifies the debtors of the assignment in writing.

For the rest, the same applies to the object created by processing, transformation or mixing as to the goods delivered under reservation of title.
9. Seis Akustik undertakes to release the securities at the customer's request to the extent that the realizable value of the securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 20%. The selection of the securities to be released is the responsibility of Seis Akustik.

Claims for damages due to injury to life, body or health caused by defects or under the Product Liability Act are also not limited by these regulations.
These regulations also do not limit other warranty claims for damages in the case of gross negligence, intent or breach of essential contractual obligations by Seis Akustik.
