The liability period for defects shall be 36 months from the transfer of risk, but at least the statutory period.

The supplier shall be entitled to the retention of title demanded by him if this expires with the payment of the remuneration agreed for the delivered item (goods subject to retention of title) and we are authorized to resell in the ordinary course of business. As security in the event of further processing and
resale instead of retention of title, we hereby assign to our customer the claim to which we are entitled from a resale in the amount of the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title. If the claims against our customer are included in a current account, the assignment shall refer to the corresponding part of the balance including the closing balance from the current account. The supplier hereby assigns the assigned claims back to us, subject to the condition precedent that we pay the remuneration invoiced for the reserved goods. We are authorised to collect claims assigned to the supplier. Revocation of the authorisation shall only be effective if we are in breach of payment obligations.

In the event of a breach, we shall be entitled to claim damages and to terminate the contract extraordinarily and without notice for good cause.
10 Industrial property rights
The supplier warrants that no third party rights are infringed in connection with his delivery. The supplier is obliged to indemnify us against all claims of third parties upon first request.
The suppliers obligation to indemnify refers to all expenses necessarily incurred by us from or in connection with the claim by a third party. The limitation period is 10 years, calculated from the transfer of risk of the goods concerned.
We reserve the property rights, rights of use and copyrights to illustrations, drawings, calculations and other documents; they may not be made accessible to third parties without our written consent.

The supplier is liable in accordance with the statutory provisions. In particular, we do not accept any limitation of the suppliers liability.
The supplier supplies us with goods manufactured or procured by him. The supplier undertakes to fully indemnify us against claims made by third parties arising from the purchase and/or use of the products supplied by us, irrespective of the legal grounds, both in terms of the cause and the amount, insofar as the supplier causes the damage and – if fault-based law applies – is responsible for the fact giving rise to the liability. Within the scope of this liability, the supplier is also obliged to reimburse the necessary and reasonable expenses resulting from the fact that the goods are not safe, in particular for a recall; any contributory negligence on our part must be taken into account.
If we or our customers are exposed to measures by market surveillance authorities, the supplier is obliged to immediately provide all necessary information at its own expense and to provide any assistance that we or our customer may require in order to avert corresponding measures by the authorities.
The supplier shall endeavor to settle claims directly with the claimant. Upon request, it will make a-count payments up to the estimated full amount of damages for justified claims. Any costs for legal disputes in this regard shall also be borne by him in full.

If the supplier has its registered office outside Germany, the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall apply with the following special provisions: The supplier shall also be liable for culpable breach of contract for damage unforeseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract. In the event of delivery of non-conforming goods, we may demand replacement delivery from the supplier if there is a material breach of contract, i.e. if the goods are only manufactured or distributed by the supplier or if it is unreasonable for us to acquire the goods from a third party for any other reason. We may declare the contract avoided in the case of delivery of non-conforming goods if there is a material breach of contract, i.e. if the damage is difficult or impossible to estimate, immaterial damage has occurred, the claim for damages is excluded due to Article 79 V UN Sales Convention, in the case of continuing obligations the confidence in the reliability of the supplier is permanently impaired or if the non-conformity of the goods reaches such an extent that it is no longer possible to sell the goods in the ordinary course of business.

13 Partial invalidity

Invalid clauses shall be replaced without further ado by a provision which, as far as legally possible, comes closest to what was intended in economic terms according to the meaning and purpose of the invalid clause.
