- Conclusion and content of the delivery contract
Any offers made by the Supplier shall be non-binding. Any information on the products, in particular the illustrations, information on quality, quantity, packaging, weight, dimension and performance parameters (“properties”) shown in offers and printed material are approximate only and non-binding. The same applies to possible fields of application that may be stated (“use”). A contract is concluded by the Supplier’s confirmation of the customer’s order (“confirmation”). The contents of the contract shall be defined by the confirmation. In case of deviating contents of the confirmation, the confirmation shall be deemed to have been accepted in the sense of a quotation if the customer does not object within 2 days following receipt. Unless otherwise specified in the confirmation, customary deviations in terms of properties, quantity, packaging and use of the delivered goods shall be permitted. In case of samples or specimens, no properties shall be guaranteed.
- Delivery and term of delivery
Only the terms and dates of delivery stated in the Supplier’s confirmation shall be binding. Partial deliveries shall be permitted unless otherwise agreed. If a customer is in default with a liability or if it can be assumed that a customer will not be able to pay, the Supplier shall have the right to retain deliveries until payment has been made. This shall not affect any other claims of the Supplier.
In case of deliveries made within 24 hours, special deliveries within 72 hours, a shorter term of delivery than originally agreed or in case of fixed date transactions the Supplier may demand a surcharge (“delivery date surcharge”).
In case of delayed delivery, the Supplier shall notify the customer without delay. The customer shall grant an appropriate period of grace for delivery.

In case of impediments to performance for which the Supplier is not responsible delivery may be deferred by the period of the duration of the impediment plus a reasonable response time.
