For contractors we guarantee, at our choice, repairs or substitute delivery for defective goods.

If repairs fail, the customer may demand at his choice lowering of remuneration or rescission of the contract. The customer is not entitled to rescind in case of minor defects.

The customer has to immediately check the delivered goods for quality and quantity deviations and report in writing apparent defects without delay or within a period of one week from receive of the goods at the latest. Otherwise the enforcement of warranty claims is excluded. Hidden defects are also to be reported immediately, within a period of one week from discovery at the latest. Timely dispatch is sufficient for observance of the time limit. The burden of proof for any claim prerequisites, in particular the defect itself, lies with the customer for the moment of discovery of the defect and for timely notice of defect.

In case the customer sends the goods or a part of the goods back to us in connection with warranty claims, he has to care for proper packaging of the goods. Defects that arise from improper packaging on the part of the customer are at the expense of the customer.

Without consideration of the legal nature of the enforced claim, a further liability on compensation is excluded. This shall apply especially to compensation claims from fault at the conclusion of the contract, from further breaches of duty or from offensive claims on indemnification of material damages according to § 823 BGB.
