After acquisition of the purchase order the contract text won't be accessible through the Internet anymore.
2.6. English and German are available as language for the contract.

3. Delivery conditions

3.1. Deliveries take place worldwide. Provided that the delivery isn't send to a non-EU-Nation, additional tariffs, taxes or fees are probably to be paid by the customer, not to the vendor, but rather to the local tariff and fiscal authorities. It's recommended for the customer to ask the tariff and fiscal authorities for details before purchase order.
3.2. Should any additional costs occur for the saleswoman because of stating a false delivery address or false address data, then these costs are to be compensated by the customer, except he is not representative for the false statement.

He's especially indentured to insure these on one's own account against damage by larceny, fire or wate rsufficiently from the beginning (hint: only valid on purchase of valuable goods). If maintenance and inspection work has to be done, then the customer has to execute them on his own costs just in time. The customer is obliged, as long as the ownership has not yet been transferred, to notationally acquaint the saleswoman immediately, if the delivered item has been distrained or is suspended by interventions of third parties. As long as the third party isn't able to compensate judicial and extrajudicial costs of a lawsuit according to § 771 ZPO the customer has to be held responsible for the deficit that happened to the saleswoman.
5.2.2. The customer is authorized to resale goods subject to retention of title in normal business transactions. The claims of the resale of the goods subject to retention of title are to be relinquished by the customer to the saleswoman equivalent to the agreed final invoice amount (including betterment tax) already. This act of transfer applies no matter if the goods have been sold without or after processing. The customer is authorized for redemption of the claim after act of transfer too. The authority of the saleswoman to collect the claim on her own stays untouched by that.

Provided that the goods along with other items, not owned by the saleswoman, are being processed then the saleswoman acquires a coparcenary of these new goods in relation of the objective value of our goods to the other arranged items at the time of processing. The same applies for the case of blending. Provided that the blending occurs in the way that the matter of the customer will be seen as essential, it is considered that the customer transferes coparcenary to the saleswoman and that the resulting sole ownership or coparcenary for the saleswoman will be coffered by the customer. As a backup concerning the claim of the saleswoman against the customer the customer conveys even those claims to the saleswoman, which arise for him through the connection of the goods subject to retention of title with a property against a third party; the saleswoman accepts this assignment now already.
