General Sales, Delivery and Payment Terms of Improbond GmbH

Edition 11/2025

§ 1 – Area of validity

1. These General Terms are applicable exclusively; terms that are contrary to our terms, or deviating terms of the orderer, are not accepted by us without our explicit written approval. Our Sales, Delivery and Payment Terms still remain applicable if we execute a delivery of the orderer without any reservations, even though we were aware of the conflicting or alternative terms of the orderer.

2. Our Sales, Delivery and Payment Terms are also applicable to all future transactions with the orderer.

§ 2 – Quotations

1. Our quotations are, in all their parts, subject to confirmation.

2. We reserve the rights of ownership and copyright to illustrations, drawings, calculations and any other documents. The aforementioned documents must not be made available to third parties without our explicit written approval.

3. If not stipulated otherwise, our technical terms of delivery are first applicable to all technical matters of the contractual relationship.

§ 3 – Prices and terms of payment

1. If not stipulated otherwise in contractual arrangements, our prices are “ex works”, exclusive of spools and packaging; these are separately charged. Loaned spools and packaging must be immediately returned to us in a faultless state, and the incurred freight costs must be borne by the orderer. If loaned spools and packaging are not returned to us in a faultless state, freight and charges paid, within 9 months, then the full spool and packaging costs will be charged and become immediately payable without any deductions. Special packaging is separately charged and not returnable.

2. All prices quoted by us are net prices, plus the legal value-added tax valid on the date of the invoice.

3. If not contractually stipulated otherwise, if payment is not made within 30 days of receipt of the invoice or payment request, then the orderer is in default of performance.

4. Payment must be effected in such a manner that the full amount is at our disposal on the due date. The orderer is not entitled to deduct a discount without a special written arrangement to this effect.

5. The orderer is only entitled to set-off rights if the orderer’s counterclaims are final and absolute, not in dispute or have been acknowledged by us. Moreover, the orderer can only assert a right of retention if the counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship as the payment claim.

§ 4 – Delivery and delivery time

1. Delivery times are only considered to be approximate. They commence with our order confirmation, but not before all execution details have been clarified, and not before all preconditions to be fulfilled by the ordering party exist, and not before all documents necessary for order execution have been procured and agreed advance payments have been effected. The delivery time is considered to have been fulfilled if the merchandise has left the works prior to the expiry of the delivery time or if, after having given notice of despatch readiness in due time, dispatch is not possible for no fault of our own. The delivery day is the day of dispatch or, if it has been agreed that the orderer will collect the consignment, then the day on which notice of availability is given. The delivery time for orders that are to be called commences with the workday that follows the call. We are entitled to effect advance and partial deliveries. Agreed time limits and deadlines are subject to orderly on-time supply by our suppliers and subsidiary suppliers (self-delivery reservation). Late arrival of materials required to execute an order lengthens the delivery time agreed with the orderer by the same amount. We will notify our ordering party of circumstances that incur significant delivery delays.

2. If we are in default of delivery for reasons that we have to justify, then the orderer’s claims for compensation for delayed performance damage are limited to an amount equalling 0.5% of the delivery value for each complete week of delay, but maximum to 5% of the delivery value. This limitation is not applicable if the delay is due to intent, gross negligence or the infringement of essential contractual duties (so-called “cardinal duties”).

3. Compensation claims of the orderer on account of delayed delivery, as well as compensation claims in place of performance, that go beyond the limits listed in Point 2, are excluded in all cases of delayed deliveries, also after the expiry of a set period to effect a delivery. This is not applicable in the event of liability due to intent, gross negligence or injury to life, limb or health; and this is not associated with a change of the onus of proof to the detriment of the orderer. The orderer can only withdraw from the contract within the framework of the legal provisions if we have to justify the delayed delivery.

4. At our request the orderer is obliged to state within a reasonable period whether he intends to withdraw from the contract on account of delayed delivery and/or to demand compensation instead of performance or insists on the completion of performance.

5. If delivery is to be effected by call-forward notice or according to specification by the ordering party, and if the call or specification is not effected in due time then, after unsuccessful expiry of a grace period, we shall be entitled, at our discretion, to deliver the merchandise, demand compensation instead of performance or withdraw from the contract.

6. Additional or short delivery by up to 10% is permissible.

§ 5 – Passage of risk

1. If not contractually specified otherwise, “ex works” is agreed. This is also the case if the orderer wishes the purchased object to be delivered to another address. The risk passes to the orderer with the handing over of the purchased object to the party effecting the transport.

2. We will have the delivery covered by transport insurance if this is requested by the orderer. The costs incurred will be borne by the orderer.

3. In conformity with § 438 HGB, the orderer is obliged to notify the carrier of externally visible transport damage.

§ 6 – Warranty for defects

1. Warranty rights of the orderer presuppose that he has complied with his examination and complaints obligations in conformity with §§ 377, 378 HGB.

2. If the purchased object is defective, we must always be given the opportunity for after-fulfilment in conformity with § 439 BGB.

3. If we are not prepared or able to after-fulfil, or if this is delayed beyond a commensurate grace period for reasons that we have to justify, or if after-fulfilment fails for other reasons, then the orderer can either withdraw from the contract or demand a reduction of the purchase price.

4. If not specified otherwise, all further claims of the orderer are excluded, irrespective of their legal reasons. We are not liable for damage not caused to the actual object of delivery; in particular not for lost profits or other financial losses of the orderer. The aforementioned exclusion of liability does not apply if the cause of the damage is attributable to intent or gross negligence or in the event of injury to life, limb or health. Nor is it applicable if we have assumed a guarantee for the state of the object or its durability.

The aforementioned exclusion of liability is also not applicable to damage attributable to culpable infringement of significant contractual obligations (“cardinal duties”). Other than in the event of intent or gross negligence or if we have taken over a guarantee, our liability in such a case is limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damage.

5. Warranty claims of the orderer are subject to a limitation period of twelve months, provided that the merchandise was correctly stored. This does not apply if longer statutory periods apply under § 438(1)2 BGB, § 479(1) BGB or § 634a(1)2 BGB.

§ 7 – Warranty for second-hand machines, vehicles, etc.

1. If the purchased object is a second-hand machine, vehicle or other second-hand object, then the sale is effected under exclusion of any warranty.

§ 8 – Industrial property rights

1. If deliveries are effected according to the orderer’s specifications and this infringes third-party rights, then the orderer exempts us from all claims. In the event of the orderer’s contractual infringements, his industrial property rights do not conflict with our contractual use of the merchandise.

§ 9 – Total liability

1. Liability for compensation and reimbursement beyond § 6 is excluded irrespective of the legal nature of the asserted claim. This does not apply to claims under §§ 1 and 4 of the Product Liability Act. Nor does it apply in cases of intent, gross negligence, injury to life, limb or health, or infringement of essential contractual obligations (“cardinal duties”).

In cases of infringement of essential contractual obligations, compensation is limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damage unless intent or gross negligence exists, or liability applies due to injury to life, limb or health. This does not change the burden of proof to the disadvantage of the orderer.

2. Where our liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of our employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

§ 10 – Reservation of title

1. The purchased object remains our property until full payment of the purchase price and all incidental expenses. If the orderer is in breach of contract, especially in payment default, we may withdraw from the contract and reclaim the purchased object. After reclaiming the object, we may utilize it; net proceeds after deducting reasonable costs will be credited to the orderer’s liabilities.

2. The orderer must treat the purchased object with care, insure it against fire, water damage and theft at replacement value and at his own expense, and perform necessary maintenance at his cost.

3. The orderer must notify us immediately of seizures or third-party interventions and provide all needed support and documents to defend our rights.

4. The orderer may resell the purchased object in the ordinary course of business. However, he hereby assigns to us all receivables arising from such resale up to the invoice total (including VAT), regardless of whether the object was resold with or without agreement. We accept this assignment.

The orderer may collect receivables unless he defaults or insolvency proceedings are filed. Then we may collect the receivables ourselves, and he must provide all needed information and notify debtors of the assignment.

5. Processing of the purchased object is always done for us. If mixed with other items not belonging to us, we acquire co-ownership proportionally. The same applies to new items created by processing.

6. If inseparably mixed with other items, co-ownership is acquired proportionally. If the orderer’s item is the principal item, he transfers proportional co-ownership to us. The orderer stores the resulting co-ownership for us.

7. We release securities at the orderer’s request if their value exceeds our claims by more than 20%; we choose which securities.

§ 11 – Place of performance, jurisdiction and applicable law

1. If not stipulated otherwise, the place of performance is the seat of our company.

2. All business relations are governed exclusively by German law. CISG (UN Purchasing Law) does not apply.

3. If the orderer is a businessman, German courts are internationally competent. Jurisdiction lies at our company’s seat, but we may also sue at the orderer’s general jurisdiction. This applies to bill of exchange and cheque proceedings.

§ 12 – Severability clause

1. The ineffectiveness of individual contractual elements does not affect the contract’s validity as a whole. The ineffective clause shall be replaced by one that most closely reflects the economic intent of the original.
