The bold – typed emphasises serve only for better orientation of the readers and have no subject-matter meaning.
(2) These Terms for Sale, Delivery and Licence are a substantial part of all offers, acceptances of contracts and sales contracts of IGEL. They are the exclusive contract regulations with each customer, as long as there are no specific individual rules for contracts.
(3) IGEL does not acknowledge general terms of trade of the Customers , as well as when in a particular case IGEL does not explicitly object, unless IGEL has approved the application of these Customer’s terms explicitly and in writing. These Terms for Sale, Delivery and Licence also apply exclusively when IGEL starts performance of a particular contract without a specific reservation despite knowledge of Customers’ terms of trade which are contradictory or different from the present Terms,
(4) These Terms for Sale, Delivery and Licence are also applicable for all future transactions with Customers and even if IGEL does not explicitly indicate that its terms shall apply; and until IGEL puts into effect new terms. The incorporation of the  new terms into the business relation between IGEL and the customer becomes effective when IGEL indicates explicitly that there are new terms in effect and makes them available on the IGEL – webpage on the internet.
(5) With the exception of the managing director, the procurists and the trade representatives, the staff members of IGEL are not entitled to meet agreements deviating from the present terms.

§ 2 Offers and Conclusion of Contracts

(1) Offers by IGEL are always non-binding (the so called “invitatio ad offe rendum”), unless they are indicated in writing as binding. Except that, a binding agreement shall be reached when IGEL confirms explicitly and in writing the order of the Customer or starts performance of delivery. The Customer is bound by its order/its offer for one week, provided that there is not a longer binding period agreed or customary, or the Customer has declared in its order/or in its offer explicitly a shorter binding period.
(2) For the determination of the articles of the delivery and the specific terms of the contract IGEL`s written confirmation of the order is solely authoritative. Collateral agreements have to be always approved in the form provided in § 21, Sec. 4 (final clauses) of these Terms of Sale, Delivery and Licence.
(3) IGEL reserves all rights, in particular the ownership and the copyright, on any preliminary estimate of costs, designs, plans or specific technical documentation, which IGEL provides to the Customer before or after the conclusion of the contract. Without the approval of IGEL the Customer is not allowed to provide, to copy, to duplicate, to deliver or othe rwise to give any information to third parties. Those have to be returned to IGEL immediately upon request.
(4) In case that there were agreed special provisions for a particular order, they will expire with the completion of particular order and will not have any effectiveness to other orders running at the same time or fo llowing ones.

§ 3 Price

(1) All prices appointed by IGEL as well as processing and printing expenses, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, are valid “net ex works” in terms of § 21 Sec. 2 (final clauses) of these Terms for Sale, Delivery and Licence, that is without the expenses for packing, loading, insurance (in particular transport insurance), duties and taxes, transport costs and turnover tax.
(2) All the prices are regarded as in EURO, unless another currency is explicitly appointed in IGEL`s confirmation of the order.
(3) In case costs increase unforeseeable and extraordinary like by means of price increases of the suppliers or currency fluctuations, IGEL is entitled to appoint further increasing prices to the Customers.

§ 4 Foreign trade


(1) In case of deliveries to foreign countries these Terms for Sale, Delivery and Licence shall be applicable together with the “International Commercial Terms” (“Incoterms”) published by the International Chamber of Commerce in their newest redrafting provided that in the confirmation of the order, respectively in the binding offer, IGEL refers to one of the concerned Incoterms (for e.g. by means of the clauses “cif”, “ex work”, “fob”, etc.).
(2) Import duties, fees for consultation and different levied taxes/fees based on regulations of the country of destination are generally not included in the appointed prices of IGEL (accordingly to the simultaneously applicable § 3 Sec. 1 of these Terms for Sale, Delivery and Licence). When in case of exception taxes shall explicitly be included in the price, the agreed price increases accordingly if the tax rates increases after the conclusion of the agreement.
(3) IGEL is only obliged to comply with foreign regulations for packing, weighting and duties if the Customer gave detailed information for that in advance.

§ 5 Permission for Export and Import

The delivered products and technical know-how of IGEL are designated exclusively for use and remaining in the country of destination as indicated by the Customer. The re-exportation of the goods appointed in the contract – individually or collectively – is governed exclusively by the regulations for foreign trade of the Federal Republic of Germany, respectively by the regulations of the country of destination agreed with the Customer. For the delivery of products which are subject to a resale price fixing and/or a distribution restriction, the specific terms and regulations for export (for e.g. embargo) of the referred manufacturer shall be also applicable besides these Terms for Sale, Delivery and Licence. The Customer is obliged to inform itself autonomous for the corresponding regulations and namely for the German terms by the Federal Office For Export, 65760 Eschborn/Taunus and the US- terms by the US- Department of Commerce, OEA, Washington DC 20230. Not depending on whether the Customer has indicated a definite place of destination for the products, it is always incumbent on the Customer to obtain the required permission from the competent authority for foreign trade before the exportation of the products. The Customer is solely responsible for the compliance with the applicable regulations to the ultimate consumer.

II. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

§ 6 Payment, Delay

(1) IGEL`s contract claim for payment is due immediately at the delivery of the products and without deduction. The Customer is in delay for payment when he doesn’t perform payment during the period of 14 days after the due date and after the receipt of the invoice but at latest 30 days after start of delivery. An earlier delay for payment based on the statutory legal regulations shall be unaffected.
(2) Provided there is nothing different agreed, IGEL is not obliged to perform first. When as a case of exception there is exclusively agreed an obligation of IGEL for performance in advance, § 321 of the German Civil Code shall apply under the additional condition that the rule applies when the Customer has breached the agreed terms of payment of the same or other contracts of the respective business relation.
(3) IGEL reserves the right to reject cheques and bills of exchange from the Customers. The acceptance of similar surrogates of payment is always regarded as conditional performance. The bill of exchange will be accepted in every case only under the precondition of discount eligibility. Discounts, cancellation expenses and bill of exchange tax as well as other expenses in connection with the acceptance of the different surrogates of payment shall be charged to the Customer. Credit notes for bills of exchange or cheques are regarded as valid under the condition of receipt of the invoiced amount; that is the value date on which IGEL can dispose of the equivalent sum.
(4) When after the conclusion of the contract IGEL issues its invoice to another person than to its contract partner (the Customer) generally no alteration of the contract partner and in particular no discharge of the Customer from its obligation for payment should be acknowledged as IGELs consent for a cumulative assumption of the debt and not as consent for a taking–over of the contract.
(5) The Customer will be charged with € 5,00 for each reminder for payment after the due date. It does not affect the legal rights of IG EL by law.
(6) In case of a delay in payment or of protest of the cheque or of the bill of exchange or in case of other circumstances, which entitle IGEL to demand a cash advance or provision of security, IGEL may terminate any agreement for extension and granted period of payment with the Customer referred to the entire business relation between IGEL and the Customer.

§ 7 Set-off, Retention, Assignment


(1) The Customer is only entitled to set off a claim or to retain payment when its counterclaim is not contested by IGEL or it has been declared as final and conclusive by a German court. The same applies also for the customers right to plea of nonperformance of the contract pursuant to § 320 of the German Civil Code.
(2) The Customer is not entitled to assign claims from the contract to third parties without the written approval of IGEL.

§ 8 Delivery

(1) IGEL will perform delivery of the products or services as soon as possible. The appointed period/date of delivery is generally not binding, unless IGEL confirms explicitly and in writing the appointed period/ the appointed date to be binding. The time of the dispatch ex works or ex stock, or the notification for the readiness for dispatch, shall be authoritative for the determination of the adherence with the period of delivery in case the goods are not dispatched in due time without IGEL’s fault. The period of delivery shall be prolonged to another individually agreed term, if the Customer does not perform the owed cooperation for delivery (see § 9 of these Terms for Sale, Delivery and Licence).
(2) In case that the parties have not agreed a binding delivery term, respectively date of delivery, IGEL shall be in delay with its obligation to deliver and to perform, when the Customer sends a reminder to IGEL indicating a reasonable period of grace and when the period has unsuccessfully expired and the further legal preconditions have been met.
(3) IGEL shall perform delivery under the condition of exact supply in good time through IGEL’s suppliers. A delay of delivery or non-performance of delivery that result from a failure of IGEL’s suppliers (without any cooperative fault of IGEL) shall not be considered as a fault of IGEL.
(4) IGEL shall not be responsible for a delay of the delivery or of the performance as a result of force majeure or similar circumstances, which derive from circumstances which IGEL cannot influence after the conclusion of the contract, e.g. industrial action, official directive, and also when these circumstances appear in the sphere of IGEL’s suppliers or sub-suppliers. In these cases the period of delivery is prolonged until the duration of the obstacle including a reasonable initial period, but not longer than six months. After the expiry of its period both parties are insofar entitled to withdraw from the contract. The same applies if a party suffers significant disadvantages by the delay or non-performance.
(5) IGEL is entitled of partial delivery as long as it is appropriate for the Cus tomer. In such cases IGEL is entitled to issue partial invoices.
(6) In case that the supply according to the request of the Customer is delayed as a result of a Customer’s failure to perform a required cooperative act (for e.g. delivery of additional devices and parts for reconstruction), or the Customer does not accept the delivery item, or the delivery is not performed because the Customer fails to perform its obligation for payment, then IGEL is entitled to demand for a compensation for the additional expenses which occur, and in particular the expenses for storage. The expenses for storage can be charged from the beginning of one week after the notification of the readiness to dispatch with 0,5% lump sum of the invoiced sum for every month. The Customer is entitled to prove to IGEL that there are not any expenses or that the occurred expenses for storage are considerably minor. IGEL reserves the right to prove higher expenses. Except that, the IGEL`s right to withdraw from the contract or to claim compensation on the ground of statutory law shall not be affected.

§ 9 Duty and Obligation of the Customer to Cooperate

(1) In case the effectiveness of the contract or the performance of the contract requires specific permissions or licences (for e.g. licences for import or export) or similar, they are to be obtained by the Customer, unless the parties did not agree explicitly something else.
(2) The customer is furthermore obliged to cooperate timely in accordance with the contract and good faith, in particular to obtain the required permissions and to provide the additional devices and parts for reconstruction.
(3) IGEL is entitled to fix a reasonable term to the Customer for the performance of the act of cooperation (for e.g. the request for a necessary permission). After the unsuccessful expiry of the period IGEL is entitled to withdraw form the contract. When the required licences or permissions are not provided until the expiry of three (3) months after the conclusion of the contract IGEL is entitled without further preconditions to withdraw from the contract.

§ 10 Passage of the Risk

(1) The risk passes to the Customer when the products are handed over to the first carrier for transmission to the customer (for e.g. forwarding agent, carrier or similar) for loading, if transportation through IGEL is agreed the risk passes to the customer when loading begins, but at latest when the goods leave the factory as place of performance (comp. § 21, Sec. 2 of these Terms for Sale, Delivery and Licence). The same applies even if IGEL has undertaken the expenses for the transport or has undertaken another performance like the installation.
(2) If IGEL performs the dispatch of the products later than the first possible date of delivery upon request of the customer or on similar grounds deriving from the Customer’s sphere, then the risk shall pass to the Customer at the moment of notification of the readiness for dispatch by IGEL.
(3) An insurance of the products like against theft, break, transport, fire or water damages or similar risks will be provided by IGEL only upon explicit request of the Customer and will always be at the expense of the Customer.
(4) Sending backs of the products to IGEL travel - reserving other explicit agreements – at the expense and under the risk of the Customer.

§ 11 Retention of Title


(1) IGEL retains the title of the goods until full payment of all accounts receivable which are existing and which can accrue in the future from the business relation with the Customer. At the entry of a running account with the Customer the entire retained property serves to secure the claim for the balance of the account. As long as according to the Customer’s national law the validity of its retention of title depends on particular preconditions or formal requirements (for e.g. on a registration), the Customer is obliged to fulfil at its own expenses the preconditions or the formal requirements for the validity of the retention of the title.
(2) In case of a breach of the contract of the Customer, in particular in case of a delay for payment or in case of an application for a proceeding for insolvency, IGEL is entitled to request from the Customer the purchased objects back without any grace period to be fixed, or in the same case, to request the assignment of the claim for return of property against third parties. The withdrawal of the goods and the seizure of the reserved goods by IGEL shall not be regarded as a withdrawal of the contract by IGEL, unless it is declared explicitly and in writing. The Customer shall undertake the expenses for the withdrawal. IGEL is entitled to utilize the revoked reserved goods after a single warning. The difference between the profits of utilisation and the expenses for the utilisation will be at the expense of the Customer.
(3) The Customer is entitled to resell the retained products within the scope of an
orderly business operation, as long as he is not in delay, and/or there is a filed application for beginning of insolvency proceedings over its property or he is obliged to apply for insolvency proceedings. In case of resell of the reserved goods on credit, the Customer is obliged to secure the rights of IGEL on the reserved goods. Hypothecation, transfer of ownership by way of security, further transfer to the financing of the goods (for e.g. to leasing company) or transfer of the use to third parties are allowed to the Customer only by prior written approval by IGEL.
(4) If the Customer resells the reserved products, thus he assigns to IGEL its claim from the resell for payment together with all the accessory rights in order to secure the claim of IGEL. The Customer is authorised until the revocation for the collection of the sum due from the resell . However, IGEL can request from the Customer to notify its debtors for the assignment. With the revocation of the authorisation for the collection the Customer has to notify IGEL for the required data for the collection about the claim and in the same case to support IGEL to claim for the accounts receivable.
(5) The Customer is obliged to keep diligently and at its expense in custody the products in (co-)ownership of IGEL, to insure them against theft, break, fire, water or similar damages and to prove the termination of the insurance upon IGEL’s request.
(6) The Customer has the further duty during the retention of the property to keep the
purchased objects in proper conditions and to admit necessary repairs immediately to be performed in one of the IGEL’s authorised qualified workshops .
(7) Seizures of third parties over the retained products have to notified by the Customer to IGEL immediately after the Customer becomes known of that. In such a case the Customer shall transfer all the necessary information and documents for each intervention to IGEL. The Customer is liable for the expenses which arise from the lift of the seizure in particular by lodgement of intervention as a third party on seizure, as long as they cannot be attained by the pursued creditors.
(8) In case of connection of the retained products with other new integrative products, the co-ownership of the new product is due to IGEL. The share in the co-ownership is defined according to the proportion of the value of the reserved objects towards the invoice value of the other objects.
(9) If on the ground of legal provisions the Customer acquires the sole ownership over the new product, thus the customer and IGEL shall agree that IGEL will keep the coownership of the new product in proportion of the value of the integrated purchased objects towards the invoice value of the other product. The Customer shall keep in custody the new objects for IGEL free of charge.

III. DEFECTS, WITHDRAWAL AND COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGES

§ 12 Defects and Rights


(1) IGEL guarantees that the delivered goods and services have no considerable defects at the passage of the risk.
(2) Details of the subject matter of the delivery, the appearance, capacity, measurement and weight of the products, etc. that were made at the conclusion of the contract in valid descriptions of the products represent no guarantee, but only a description of the products, which are only to be regarded as approximate. A guarantee is available only when IGEL has appointed it explicitly and in writing as such.
(3) When after the conclusion of the contract alterations shall be carried out on any of the fixed products concerning the construction, material and model and they are considered in the delivered products, these alterations do not represent a defect of the purchased products , as long as no deduction of the value of their usefulness occurs from that.
(4) IGEL is not liable for public statements of third parties (including the suppliers of IGEL or the manufacturers) when IGEL did not know about these statements or was not obliged to know. IGEL is not liable for public statements through IGEL or third parties when the statement at the moment of the conclusion of the contract was already corrected or when the Customer could not prove that the respective statement has influenced its decision to purchase.
(5) The guarantee for defects and damages is excluded when they arise
- because a definite construction or a definite material for the purchased product was chosen under the instruction of the Customer,
- because the Customer has installed the purchased product or put it in operation incorrectly,
- because the Customer operates with the purchased product incorrectly or he does not use appropriate operating instruments,
- because the Customer has not considered the operation division or the rules for maintenance,
- because the Customer does not use the purchased product competently or overstrained,
- because the Customer has attached external parts or components (products by other manufacturers), although they were not permitted in the operation division or after a written explanation by IGEL,
- because the Customer has decomposed or changed the purchased product without
the prior approval of IGEL,
- because the Customer has installed incorrectly the purchased product into another item (the installation in the other item might be exclusively according to the regulations).
(6) The Customer loses the right to rely on a lack of conformity of the product, when the Customer does not give notice to IGEL specifying kind and nature of the lack of conformity in accordance with the following rules:
- lacks of conformity, which at the inspection of the product were recognizable, have to be noticed in writing to IGEL within at latest in five working days after the delivery of the product and before further manufacturing/ processing/ usage (if possible under the dispatch of the provided printed forms by IGEL),
- hidden lacks of conformity, which at the inspection of the product could not be discovered, have to be noticed in writing to IGEL within five working days after the discovery of the defects. For the adherence to the term for the notice it is sufficient to dispatch the notification of the lack of conformity in due time.
(7) Complaints do not abolish the duties of the Customer for acceptance and payment of the products, unless the defectiveness of the products is not controversial or has already become res judicata.
(8) If there is an existing lack of conformity in the purchased products, IGEL is ent itled to its own choice to remove the defects, by means of for example extra work/improvement of the products, or replacement of the complained parts or to deliver another product without defects. If one of these forms of additional performance is connected with considerable disadvantages for the Customer, the Customer is entitled to request the othe r type of additional performance.
(9) In case of remedying a defect the repairing of the product, respectively the substitute delivery IGEL bears the necessary expenses, in particular the wage, material and freight expenses. Exchanged old parts of the goods become property of IGEL.
(10) In cases of guarantee with foreign Customers IGEL shall not generally bear the expenses and similar specific expenses, which are connected with the place of usage, respectively the exporting country of the purchased objects.
(11) If within a reasonable term fixed by the Customer, which however must amount to at least two weeks, it is not undertaken any attempt for substitute performance or if the fixing of a term according to the statutory law is not required as an exception, the Customer is entitled to proceed to the other legal claims for lacks of performances, in particular to reduce the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract. If an attempt for substitute performance is undertaken at due date, which has not tho ugh removed the lack of conformity, the Customer is allowed to proceed to the other claims for defects after the unsuccessful expiry of a further period for substitute performance, unless as an exception it would be unreasonable for the Customer to wait until these terms. In case of partial performance the Customer may withdraw form the whole contract only if he has no provable interest of partial performance and the breach of the duty is considerable. Claims for compensation for damages due to the lack of conformity may be established only under the preconditions appointed in § 15.
(12) If as a result from an inspection of the products confirms that the purchased products do not represent a lack of conformity, IGEL is entitled to charge its expenses for the inspection according to its general hourly rates of payment on the account of the Customer.
(13) The limitation period for claims for a lack of conformity amounts to one year from the delivery.
(14) The right of recourse of the buyers according to § 478 of the German Civil Code shall not be affected.

§ 13 Withdrawal


(1) For the right of the Customer to withdraw from the contract apply the statutory legal regulations under the additional condition that the right to withdraw from the contract due to a lack of conformity that is not a defect of the products occurred is only disputable, when IGEL is liable for that breach of duty.
(2) IGEL is entitled in case of withdrawal to calculate a monthly lump sum of 3% of the purchase price for the realized profits from the use, as far as the buyer does not prove a minor value of the emerged profits. The right of IGEL to prove a higher value of the emerged profits shall be unaffected.

§ 14 Duty of IGEL to Compensate the Damages

(1) IGEL is liable for a breach of duty in cases of intent and culpable negligence as well as in case of a breach of a essential duty. As far as a breach of a duty does endanger the purpose of the contract (cardinal duty) IGEL is also liable in case of simple negligence.
In other cases the claims for compensation of the damages are excluded. The limitation of the liability shall not apply when IGEL has given guarantee for damages, which have to be removed according to the Law for Product Liability, as well as for damages of life, body and health.
(2) When IGEL is liable for simple and culpable negligence, the liability of IGEL is limited to damages which occurrence IGEL typically had to expect at the conclusion of the act according to the known circumstances.
(3) When IGEL is liable for simple negligence or culpable negligence for the employees of IGEL or its representatives who are part of the directors or the managerial employees the liability is limited to the double sum of the respective purchase price. Additionally IGEL is not liable for indirect damages, or damages occurred by defects or for lost profits.
(4) The proof of a fault of IGEL in the scope of the liability to compensate the damages has to be conducted by the Customer, who requests the compensation for damages.
(5) IGEL is not liable for defective products, which are based on a defectiveness on supplied parts , unless IGEL has given guarantee referring to it or the defect of the supplied part is evident. IGEL is not obliged to inspect supplied parts.
