Our deliveries are ex works. The risk is transferred to the buyer when the goods are handed over to the carrier - regardless of whether he is commissioned by the buyer or by us. This also applies to partial deliveries.

For our commercial customers, unloading is the sole responsibility of the buyer, who must provide suitable unloading equipment and the necessary workers.

If, contrary to the contractual agreements, the buyer requests assistance with unloading (including unloading device), further transport or deployment, this effort will be charged additionally. Participation in this work does not mean, however, that we assume any additional liability or risk.

If there is a defect in the purchased item for which the seller is responsible, he is entitled to choose between remedying the defect or making a replacement delivery. In the event that the defect is remedied, he is obliged to bear all the expenses required for the purpose of remedying the defect, in particular transport, travel, labor and material costs, insofar as these are not increased by the fact that the purchased item was taken to a place other than the place of performance.

The customer keeps the resulting sole or joint ownership for the seller.
