§ 1 - Scope
(1) These terms and conditions of Kamei GmbH (hereinafter: "Seller") apply to all sales of goods offered by the Seller to Entrepreneur, who purchase the contract goods as resellers (hereinafter: “customers”). An entrepreneur is defined as any natural or legal person or legally capable partnership that, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity (within the meaning of § 14 BGB). Resellers are defined as entrepreneurs who do not purchase the goods as end consumers.
(2) The inclusion of the customer's terms and conditions is hereby rejected unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise.
§ 2 - Conclusion of contract and reservation of delivery
(1) The seller’s product offerings merely constitute an invitation to the customer to submit an offer to purchase to the seller. By placing an order, the customer submits a binding offer to purchase to the seller. The seller's acceptance of this purchase offer will only occur through a separate declaration of acceptance or a payment request within two weeks of receipt of the purchase offer.
(2) The purchase process and contact may be carried out via e-mail using automated purchase processing software. The customer must therefore ensure that the email address provided for the purchase transaction is correct, so that correspondence can be conducted via this address. When using spam filters, the customer must ensure that all emails sent by the seller or their payment processing service provider for the purpose of processing the purchase are received.
(3) The right to correct and timely self-supply on the basis of a congruent hedging transaction remains reserved. The seller will inform the customer immediately about the unavailability of the goods that are the subject of the contract and, in the event of cancellation, will promptly refund the consideration already paid.
(4) We reserve the right to make design changes and other changes to technical data and performance characteristics, provided they serve technical progress and are reasonable for the customer.
§ 3 - Prices/Price Adjustment
(1) All prices quoted in the offers are exclusive of the applicable statutory value added tax and are ex works. The value added tax is shown separately.
(2) For the dispatch of the goods at the customer's request, additional costs may be incurred in the form of packaging and shipping costs or a minimum order surcharge in accordance with the provisions in Section 5.
(3) Other price components, such as additional taxes, customs duties or other charges, may be incurred in the case of cross-border deliveries and shall be borne by the customer.
(4) If, between the conclusion of the contract and the delivery of the goods, changes in costs occur that are beyond the seller's control and were unforeseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract due to changes in material, energy, tariff and raw material prices, which result in the seller only being able to obtain the raw materials or sub-products from its suppliers or produce them itself under different price conditions than was foreseeable for the seller at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the seller is entitled to adjust the prices agreed with the customer in accordance with the changed circumstances. However, such an adjustment is only permissible if the goods are to be delivered more than 2 months after the conclusion of the contract, as stipulated in the contract. If an increase in the delivery price contractually agreed with the customer exceeds 10%, the customer may withdraw from the contract with regard to the affected delivery quantity.
§ 4 - Payment Terms
Payments can be made as follows:
- Payment by bank transfer (prepayment)
Upon acceptance of the contract, the customer will be provided with the seller's bank details for payment. The goods will be shipped after the payment amount has been credited to the seller's specified account;
- Payment by invoice (subject to credit approval)
If the seller offers the customer payment by invoice, payments are due within 30 days of the invoice date. If the customer makes payment within 10 days of the invoice date, the seller grants a 2% discount on the net value of the goods, excluding freight and packaging. The decisive point in time is the date on which the seller receives full payment. Furthermore, a justified discount requires that all of the customer's outstanding liabilities have been fully settled at the time the discount is applied.
- Payment by direct debit
If the seller offers the customer payment by SEPA direct debit mandate, the account specified by the customer will be debited at the earliest after the mandate has been granted and after delivery of the goods, but not before the expiry of the period for the pre-notification. If the direct debit is not honored due to insufficient funds or because incorrect bank details were provided, or if the customer objects to the debit without justification, the customer shall bear the fees incurred by the respective credit institution for the chargeback, provided that the customer is responsible for the error.
§ 5 - Delivery/ Shipping costs/ Minimum order surcharge
(1) Information regarding delivery times is considered to be approximate and non-binding. Delivery deadlines are only considered binding if they have been expressly designated or confirmed as binding in writing by the seller.
(2) Unless otherwise agreed, delivery shall be ex works at the customer’s expense and risk.
(3) If the seller sends the goods at the customer's request, the seller shall be responsible for choosing the shipping method. For standard deliveries within Germany with a net merchandise value of less than EUR 500,00, the seller charges a flat shipping fee of EUR 11,00 plus VAT. VAT included. For orders with a net value of EUR 500,00 or more, delivery within Germany is free of charge. For spare parts sent by mail, the flat shipping rate for standard deliveries is EUR 4.50 plus VAT. VAT, for spare parts shipped via Standard parcel service EUR 11,00 excl. VAT.. Express freight and forwarding shipments are only made by individual arrangement.
(4) For orders with a total net value of goods less than EUR 11,00, the seller shall charge a small order surcharge of EUR 6.50 plus shipping costs. VAT..
(5) Unless otherwise agreed, all deliveries and services abroad shall be made ex works against prepayment or irrevocable letter of credit.
(6) If the seller is unable to meet the agreed delivery deadline, she must inform the customer in good time. Disruptions to the seller's business operations or those of its suppliers that are beyond its control, in particular strikes and lawful lockouts as well as cases of force majeure, shall extend the delivery time accordingly for the duration of the disruption. In such cases, the customer is only entitled to withdraw from the contract if he demands the agreed services after the delivery period has expired, sets a reasonable grace period, and this grace period has also expired without result. If the delivery period is determined by calendar date, the reasonable grace period to be set by the customer begins upon its expiry. The statutory right to compensation in lieu of performance remains unaffected.
(7) Partial deliveries are permitted insofar as they are reasonable for the customer.
(8) If the customer defaults on acceptance or breaches other obligations to cooperate, then
The seller is entitled to assert her legal rights in this regard, in particular to demand compensation for the additional expenses incurred and, after setting a reasonable deadline and its fruitless expiry, to withdraw from the contract.
§ 6 - Retention of Title
(1) The delivered item, including any additional items (“in-kind discounts”), remains the property of the seller until all claims against the customer arising from the business relationship have been satisfied. In the event that the customer acts in breach of contract, the seller is entitled to take back the goods subject to retention of title. The return of the goods does not constitute a withdrawal from the contract unless this is expressly declared by the seller.
(2) The customer is entitled to resell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. In the event of the sale of the goods subject to retention of title, the customer hereby assigns to the seller, as security, his claim against the buyer arising from the resale, including all ancillary rights, without the need for any further special declarations. The assignment includes any balance claims. However, the assignment is only valid up to the amount corresponding to the price of the goods subject to retention of title invoiced by the seller. The customer remains authorized to collect the claim even after the assignment. The seller's right to collect the debt herself remains unaffected. However, the seller will not collect the claim as long as the customer fulfills his payment obligations from the proceeds received, does not default on payments or suspend payments.
(3) The processing of the goods subject to retention of title by the customer shall always be carried out in the name of and on behalf of the seller. In this respect, the customer's existing right of expectancy to the processed goods subject to reservation of title continues. If the goods subject to retention of title are processed with other goods not belonging to the seller, the seller acquires co-ownership of the new item in proportion to the invoice amount of the goods subject to retention of title to the other processed items at the time of processing. The same applies in the case of mixing. If the mixing takes place in such a way that the customer's item is to be regarded as the principal item, it is agreed that the customer regularly transfers co-ownership to the seller and holds the resulting sole or co-ownership in trust for the seller. To secure the seller's claims, the customer also assigns any claims that may arise against a third party from the combination of the goods subject to retention of title with real property; the seller hereby accepts this assignment.
(4) As long as title has not yet passed, the customer shall notify the seller immediately in writing if the delivered goods subject to retention of title are seized or otherwise subject to interference by third parties. The customer is obliged to provide the seller with all information and documents required for a third-party objection in accordance with Section 771 of the German Code of Civil Procedure.
(5) The seller undertakes to release the securities to which it is entitled at the customer’s request, insofar as their value exceeds the claims to be secured by more than 20%.
§ 7 - Liability for Defects
(1) The limitation period for claims relating to defects in new goods shall be one year from the transfer of risk. For used goods, rights and claims due to defects are generally excluded. The limitation period does not restart if a replacement is provided under the warranty for defects.
(2) The statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse under Section 445a of the German Civil Code (BGB) remain unaffected, as does the case of an intentional breach of duty and fraudulent concealment of a defect. Furthermore, in accordance with paragraph 5 below, these limitations of liability do not extend to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses that the customer may assert due to a defect.
(3) Subject to timely notification of defects, the seller shall, at its option, remedy any defect by repair or replacement. If the subsequent performance fails after two attempts, the customer can withdraw from the contract or reduce the remuneration.
(4) In the case of sales to a merchant within the meaning of commercial law (§ 1 HGB), the commercial obligations to inspect and give notice of defects within the meaning of § 377 HGB shall apply. Failure to comply with legal notification requirements will result in the goods being deemed approved.
(5) In the event of injury to life, body or health, the seller shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason. This also applies in cases of fraudulent intent and guarantee promises, or if liability is governed by mandatory legal provisions, such as the Product Liability Act.
(6) Otherwise, the statutory provisions shall apply.
§ 8 - Liability
(1) The seller shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions if the customer asserts claims based on intent or gross negligence, including intent or gross negligence on the part of its representatives or agents.
(2) Otherwise, the seller shall only be liable under the Product Liability Act and for injury to life, body or health or for the culpable breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations).
(3) The customer’s claim for damages for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) is limited to the damage typically foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, unless there is also another case of mandatory liability under paragraph 1 or 2.
(4) The above provisions do not entail any change in the burden of proof to the detriment of the customer.
§ 9 - Set-off / Retention
(1) The customer may only offset claims that are undisputed or have been legally established.
(2) The customer is only entitled to exercise a right of retention insofar as his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
§ 10 - Final Provisions
(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply.
(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
(3) If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the seller's place of business. The same applies if the customer has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, or if their domicile or habitual residence is unknown at the time the action is brought.
