2. All documents and information belonging to an offer, such as B. Illustrations, drawings and / or dimensions or tolerances are only approximate values ​​for orientation, unless we expressly declare them to be binding. Such documents are subject to our sole property and copyright law and may not be made accessible to third parties by the buyer without our prior written consent. Electronic versions are equivalent to the written versions of this information.

3. All of our deliveries and services are based on these general terms and conditions and any separately concluded contractual agreements.

4. All delivery contracts and other agreements only become valid through our written confirmation, whereby only the content of the confirmation is decisive for the fulfillment of the contract.

II. Delivery time, partial deliveries
1. The agreed delivery time begins only after all details of the execution of the contract have been clarified, both parties have agreed on the terms of the transaction and the buyer has fulfilled all official obligations, insofar as this is necessary for the transaction. If a deposit has been agreed for the business, the delivery time does not start until the second working day of receipt of this payment on one of our business accounts.

2. Delivery times and delivery dates are only approximate (approximate values) and refer to the probable time of dispatch of our goods.

If the buyer cannot be expected to accept the deliveries as a result of the delay, he can withdraw from the delivery contract by giving us an immediate written declaration.

6. Partial deliveries are permitted; each delivery is considered an independent transaction.

III. Transfer of risk
1. Irrespective of the delivery basis (eg "free domicile"), the risk is transferred to the buyer upon leaving our company. If acceptance is required, this date is decisive.
