5 Deliveries

Ex-factory deliveries occur at the buyer's own risk and under his or her expense excluding packaging. Goods are only insured upon explicit instruction of the buyer. Additional insurance costs are to be handled by the buyer. In this case we only act as intermediary.

We choose the delivery service is made as long as the buyer has not given any instructions during the time of order. An extension of the delivery schedule will be stipulated according to §326 BGB should our delivery be delayed. The length of which, is at least four weeks. However, any delays of the manufacturers or predealers are not our responsibility since we have neither influence nor control over the delivery schedule and the production line.

The delivery deadline has been observed as soon as the item has left the manufacturer or the dispatch has been communicated. The contracting party is obliged to inform the supplier upon request within an acceptable period of time if he or she wishes to step back from the contract due to the delay of the supplier or if the delivery is to be carried out aynway.

We are entitled to arranging partial deliveries.

Special circumstances such as industrial disruptions, raw material shortages, war, confiscation, strikes, lockouts, delivery problems as well as a higher power free us from withdrawing from the contract whereas, every form of compensation for damages is excluded as long as permitted by law.

Returns are accepted under reservation. The return depends on whether we can return the goods to the respective manufacturers. Storage as well as processing charges always apply for returned goods. The charges vary significantly upon the manufacturer. Information regarding the charges can be provided upon request. Otherwise lump sums are charged.

6 Payment

The payment of the billed amount is always to be rendered before dispatch of goods unless other conditions apply according to the offer.

New customers must make a 50% advance payment of the total worth of the order and the remaining balance before dispatch of the goods. Bank charges are doubled for customers abroad who make partial payments.

7 Liability and Defects

The decisive factor for determining the condition of our shipment is the point at which the goods were turned over to the forwarder or Freight Company. The latest is the time at which the goods leave the factory or the warehouse. This includes freight free deliveries.

Complaints pursuant to a part of the shipment does not entitle to complaints against the entire shipment. In case of valid complaints it is our prerogative to select if repairs or depreciated replacement deliveries are made. In case of failure to repair or of the replacement delivery, then the right of transformation or reduction is entitled to the customer.

All claims to damage compensation against us or any of our agents are excluded whether these claims stem from a contract, quasi-contractual or non-contractual obligation especially if these are claims of default, subsequent impossibilities, affirmative breach of the contract, negligence in contracting or unauthorized action.

The customer is obliged to inspect the goods immediately upon drop off and provide written notice in case of any damage or deviation in quantity of goods. If damage or deviation in quantity is noticed later on which was not visible during the initial inspection as described above, then written notice must be given immediately thereafter. Otherwise, goods are considered as approved despite damage or deviation in quantity.

The recipient is obliged to receive goods with damages and with deviating quantity only under restriction and has to have the condition of the goods certified by the forwarder or Freight Company. Goods returned without our advance agreement will not be accepted. Furthermore, costs arising out of the return of the goods must be handled by the buyer.

If possible the shipment should be returned in its original packaging to ensure its safe shipment or if not, in packaging that is similar to the original. Damages that are traced back to insufficient packaging will not fall under our responsibility and are thus the responsibility of the buyer. MeiKamp GmbH cannot be held liable for any costs arising out of returned shipments and must thus be handled by the buyer.
