These terms and conditions apply to the entire contractual relationship, including its execution. They form the basis of offers and agreements. These terms and conditions shall form the basis of all future deliveries and services, even if their inclusion is not expressly agreed again. Deviating terms and conditions shall only be valid if they are recognized by us in writing upon conclusion of the contract. We hereby expressly object to confirmations of the customer with a corresponding reference to the customer's terms and conditions.

II Prices and terms of payment

Our offers are always subject to change. Our prices are net prices. The price calculation is based on the price valid on the day of delivery or service; in € (Euro); plus the applicable value added tax, unless a different price agreement has been made.All payments are to be made in euros exclusively to ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH

the Deutsche Bundesbank will be charged.

We reserve the right to refuse checks and bills of exchange. Checks and rediscountable bills of exchange shall only be accepted on account of performance; all associated costs shall be borne by the customer. In the case of new business relationships, we reserve the right to demand an appropriate advance payment.

The purchaser is only entitled to withhold payments or to offset them against any counterclaims insofar as these have been recognized in writing by ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH or have been legally established.

Default in payment or endangerment of our claims due to deterioration in the creditworthiness of the purchaser entitles us to demand immediate payment of all our existing claims arising from the business relationship, irrespective of the term of any bills of exchange, or to demand security.

In such cases, we shall also be entitled to make outstanding deliveries only against advance payment or provision of security.A contract is concluded by our written order confirmation. For orders, in particular longer-term orders, a written contract is required between both contracting parties. Unless otherwise agreed, our prices are exclusive of packaging and shipping.

Subsidiary agreements, reservations, amendments, verbal assurances or additions to our contracts to our contracts require our written confirmation in order to be valid.

If, after the quotation has been submitted or the order has been confirmed and up to delivery the relevant cost factors (sales and transportation taxes, materials, wages, freight materials, wages, freight rates, energy costs, customs duties) change significantly, then ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH and the purchaser shall agree on an adjustment of the prices and prices and the cost shares for molds.

III Delivery and delivery periods

Delivery periods shall commence upon receipt of all documents required for the execution of the order documents required for the execution of the order and any material orders in good time, insofar as such have been agreed. Delivery periods shall commence upon approval by the customer, but not upon clarification of of all necessary contractual provisions. Delivery periods shall end on the day of dispatch by the supplier, unless fixed delivery dates have been agreed. Delays in delivery due to the fact that the customer requests changes to the original changes to the original order shall be borne by the customer.

If, in the above-mentioned cases, the delivery time is extended or if ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH is released from the delivery or obligation to deliver or perform, any claims for damages and rights of withdrawal derived from this claims for damages and rights of withdrawal on the part of the client.

If the aforementioned circumstances occur at the client's premises, the same legal consequences shall also apply to the client's obligation to take delivery.

We can only invoke the aforementioned circumstances if we inform the client of this immediately.

In the event of resale, our contractual partner hereby assigns to us by way of security all claims arising from the resale against its customers and other claims, including all current account balance claims, together with all ancillary rights. Our contractual partner is entitled to collect the assigned claims.

The authorization to collect shall expire if our contractual partner ceases to make payments, files for insolvency or insolvency proceedings are opened, including in the event of out-of-court composition proceedings or other financial collapse. In this case, we can demand that our contractual partner informs us of the assigned claims and their debtors, provides all information necessary for the collection of the claims, hands over the relevant documents and notifies the debtor of the assignment.

The customer is permitted to process, transform or combine the reserved goods with other items. The processing, transformation or combination is carried out for ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH.

X. Warranty and liability

If the work or the delivery item is defective or lacks warranted characteristics, ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH is obliged to supply a replacement or make improvements to the exclusion of further warranty claims by the client.

We must be informed immediately of any recognizable or notable defects.

Claims due to the absence of a warranted characteristic can only be asserted if a specific characteristic has been expressly warranted by us in writing in the individual case. Liability is determined in accordance with the statutory regulations. However, ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH only accepts liability for consequential damage if this was the subject of the warranty.

If our contractual partner or third parties commissioned by our contractual partner make changes to the objects of our deliveries or services, any warranty in this respect shall lapse.

Claims arising from warranty, positive breach of contract and culpa in contrahendo are subject to a limitation period of 6 months, unless ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH has fraudulently concealed the defect. The limitation period begins with the acceptance of the work or the handover of the delivered item.

All claims for damages by our contractual partners arising from breach of duty, delay, impossibility of performance, positive breach of contract, culpa in contrahendo, tort and other legal grounds are excluded, insofar as the damage or consequential damage that has not occurred to the delivery item itself has not been caused by intentional or grossly negligent action. The limitation of liability shall apply to the same extent to our vicarious agents and assistants.

Claims by our contractual partners, in particular claims for compensation for damage that has not occurred to the work manufactured and delivered by us, are excluded unless we are responsible for the damage intentionally or through gross negligence. Insofar as liability is not excluded in accordance with the above sentence, claims for damages due to the absence of warranted characteristics, initial inability, delay, impossibility, positive breach of contract, culpa in contrahendo and tort are limited to typical and foreseeable damages.

ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH cannot invoke the above limitations of liability if the defect has been fraudulently concealed or a guarantee has been assumed for the deliveries and services.

This shall also apply to any gaps that may need to be filled. This shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions or agreements, which shall remain binding.

Collateral agreements to our contracts must be made in writing to be valid. This also applies to a waiver of the written form clause as such.
