In the absence of a written agreement to the contrary, payments shall be due in full within 30 days net of the invoice date. Retention of payments based on any claims of Purchaser whatsoever as well as setoff against counterclaims shall be excluded.
§ 3 Reservation of title
We reserve the title to the goods delivered until full payment of all claims. Purchaser hereby authorises us to have this reservation of title entered into the register.
§ 4 Shipping and Insurance
Shipping will be made by us using suitable means of transportation selected at our discretion at the risk and for the account of Purchaser. Taking out insurance against all types of damage shall be incumbent upon Purchaser. In the event of damage to or loss of the delivered item, Purchaser shall notify the haulage company and the insurance provider and shall send us a copy of the notification.
§ 5 Delivery Deadlines
The indicated delivery deadlines shall be non-binding. Failure to meet the delivery deadline shall only entitle Purchaser to withdraw from the contract if the delivery is still not carried out after expiry of reasonable deadlines set in writing. In this case, any claims for compensation by Purchaser shall be excluded. In particular, we accept no responsibility whatsoever for any delays caused by unforeseeable events, such as force majeure events, shortage of raw materials, embargos, operational interruptions, strikes, mobilisation or war. Purchaser shall not be entitled to assert any claims based on such events.
§ 6 Drawings and Documents
Our suppliers and/or we retain the sole right of ownership and copyrights to all drawings and drafts. The above-mentioned documents are entrusted to Purchaser personally and may neither be made available to third parties nor copied. They shall be returned upon our request.
§ 7 Packaging, Shipping, Small-quality surcharge
The packaging will be charged together with the postage. The packaging will not be taken back. For small quantity deliveries below an invoice amount of CHF 60.- we charge a surcharge of CHF 10.- to cover the costs.
§ 8 Benefit and Risk
The benefit and risk shall pass on to Purchaser upon readiness for collection or shipment at the factory or warehouse at the latest, even if the delivery is made carriage free, CIF, FOB or a similar term.
§ 9 Complaints, Warranty and Liability
Complaints shall be lodged within 7 days of delivery; otherwise, the delivery shall be deemed accepted. Consignments with visible transport damage must be accepted.
