A default in delivery shall not occur as a result of such an extension of the delivery period or such a postponement of the delivery date. Adherence to our delivery periods or the delivery date shall continue to require the punctual and proper performance of the necessary acts of cooperation of the Customer. If these are omitted, we may invoke the defense of the unfulfilled contract. In this case, and in the event that the Customer is in default on acceptance, we are entitled to demand reimbursement of any additional expenditure and to assert further claims, for example because of the default. For the purpose of clarification, the transfer or risk shall remain as according to 4 Section 1.
5.2. Provided that the delivery dates indicated are not firmly agreed, we may deliver before their expiry after a corresponding announcement.

If this does not take place, after making a fruitless request to the Customer to specify the part deliveries, we are entitled to perform the division ourselves and deliver accordingly. If the Customer frequently does not request part deliveries or does not request them in good time, we are entitled, after advance warning, at our own discretion, to refuse to deliver the remaining part deliveries, withdrawing from the contract, or to deliver the remaining part deliveries together in one final delivery. Statutory claims for compensation to which we may also be entitled shall remain unaffected.

5.5. We are liable, in accordance with the legal provisions, if a default in delivery is based on a deliberate or grossly negligent breach of contract for which we are responsible, whereby a fault of our representatives or vicarious agents must be assigned to us. If we are guilty of gross negligence, our liability for damages shall be limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damages. In the event of a default in delivery caused only by slight negligence, we shall only be liable in the event of a breach of an essential contractual obligation. In this case too, liability for damages shall be limited to foreseeable, typically occurring damages.

Aside from the provisions in the section above, we shall be liable, in the event of a default in delivery, after the expiry of an additional grace period of four weeks, for flat rate compensation for the default to the amount of 0.25% of the delivery value – for part deliveries, of the partial quantity in question – for every subsequent completed week of the default, however to a maximum of 5% of the specified values.
5.7. We are not responsible for force majeure, strikes, lockouts or shortages of raw materials, in terms of the sections above. If these factors have a lasting effect, we shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract, without being liable for compensation.

6.1. Claims made by the Customer because of defects require that the latter has properly fulfilled his obligations for examination and notification of defects, in accordance with P 377 German Commercial Code. The costs of the examination shall always be borne by the Customer, even if defects are found as a result of this. A defect shall be deemed to be present if the quality of the goods delivered by us („Delivery Item“) deviates from the quality that was confirmed by us in writing or agreed in writing with the Customer. For clarification purposes, verbal confirmations by our staff shall not be sufficient. If there is no written confirmation or agreement, our delivery shall be deemed free of defects if it is suitable for the purpose provided for in the contract or if it is suitable for normal use and exhibits a quality that is usual for items of the same kind or which the Customer may expect.
6.2. If a defect is present, we are obliged, at our own discretion, to provide a supplementary performance by removing the defect or to provide a new, defect-free item. In the event of the removal of the defect, we are obliged to bear all the expenditure necessary for removing the defect, especially transport, infrastructure, labor and material costs, provided that these are not increased by the fact that the item has been placed at a location other than the place of shipment. If the removal of defects is performed by the Customer or third parties not appointed directly by us, the aforementioned expenditure shall only be reimbursed after our advanced written approval. If a new defect-free item is provided, the original item must be returned to us on our request and in line with our instructions.
6.3. If the supplementary performance fails twice, the Customer is entitled, at its own discretion, to demand withdrawal from the contract or a reduction of the price.
6.4. We are liable, in accordance with the legal provisions, if the Customer asserts claims for damages that are based on willful intent or gross negligence.

6.5. We are liable, in accordance with the legislation, if we culpably breach an essential contractual obligation. In this case, our liability for damages shall be limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damages.

9.1. We shall retain title to all goods delivered by us („Delivery Item“) until the receipt of all payments from the delivery contract. In the event of behaviour of the Customer contrary to the terms of the contract, especially in the event of a default in payment, we are entitled to reclaim the Delivery Item after the fruitless expiry of an appropriate grace period. A reclaim of the Delivery Item by us does not constitute a withdrawal from the contract, unless we have expressly declared this in writing. The seizure of the Delivery Item by us shall always constitute a withdrawal from the contract. After the return of the Delivery Item, we are authorized to resell it; the proceeds from the sale shall be offset against the liabilities of the Customer – less reasonable costs of sale.
9.2. The Customer is required to keep the Delivery Item safe for us, and to treat it with care.
9.3. In the event of seizures or other third party access to our Delivery Items, the Customer must inform us in writing without delay, so that we can lodge a complaint in accordance with § 771 German Code of Civil Procedure.

9.4. The Customer is entitled to resell the Delivery Item in the ordinary course of business; it shall now assign to us all claims to the sum of the final invoice amount (including VAT) of our claim, which accrue from the resale against his purchasers or third parties, irrespective of whether the Delivery Item is resold without or after processing. The Customer shall be authorised to collect this claim even after the assignment. Our authority to collect the claim ourselves shall remain unaffected by this. We undertake ,however, not to collect the claim, as long as the Customer fulfils its payment obligations arising from the proceeds collected, does not enter into payment default and, in particular, no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings is made or the suspension of payments does not take effect. However, if this is the case, we may demand that the Customer informs us immediately of the assigned claims and their debtors, furnishes all the information necessary for collection, hands over the associated documents and discloses the assignment to the debtor (third party) immediately, and informs us about it by a copying letter.
9.5. The processing or alteration of the Delivery Item by the Customer is always performed by. If the Delivery Item is processed with other items that do not belong to us, we shall acquire joint ownership of the new item in the ratio of the value of the Delivery Item (final invoice value including VAT) to the other processed items at the time of processing. For the items created by the processing, the same conditions shall apply, in other respects, as for the item delivered subject to retention of title.
9.6. If the Delivery Item is inseparably mixed with other items that do not belong to us, we shall acquire joint ownership of the new item, in the ratio of the value of the Delivery Item (final invoice value, including VAT) to the other mixed items at the time of mixing.

The Customer shall hold the sole ownership or joint ownership that has arisen for us.
9.7. We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled, on the request of the Customer, insofar as the realizable value of our securities exceeds the claims to be secured by more than 10%; the selection of the securities to be released is at our discretion.
