Liability shall also be in accordance with the statutory provisions if, as a result of a delay in delivery for which we are responsible, the customer is entitled to assert that his interest in the further performance of the contract has ceased.

(7) Liability also applies in accordance with the statutory provisions if the delay in delivery for which DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, is responsible is based on the culpable breach of an essential contractual obligation; in this case, however, liability for damages is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage. An essential contractual obligation is understood to be a contractual obligation whose fulfillment makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the contractual partner can regularly rely.

Huber, is not accused of intentional breach of contract, liability for damages is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

(5) Liability shall be in accordance with the statutory provisions if DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, has culpably breached a material contractual obligation; in this case, however, liability for damages is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

(8) Unless otherwise provided above, liability is excluded.

(9) The limitation period for claims for defects shall be 12 months from the transfer of risk.

(10) The limitation period in the case of delivery recourse pursuant to Sections 478 and 479 of the German Civil Code (BGB) remains unaffected; it shall be five years, calculated from the delivery of the defective item.

(11) In the event that the customer returns the purchased goods to DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, stating that they are defective and the inspection reveals that these goods are free of defects, DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, is entitled to assert a claim for reimbursement of expenses in the event of a culpable breach of contract. After notification of the amount of the claim, the customer is entitled to assert that a claim for reimbursement of expenses has not arisen or has not arisen to this amount.

8. Total liability

(1) Any liability for damages beyond that provided for in Section 7 is excluded, regardless of the legal nature of the claim asserted. This applies in particular to claims for damages arising from negligence when concluding the contract, other breaches of duty or tortious claims for compensation for property damage in accordance with Section 823 of the German Civil Code (BGB).

(2) The limitation pursuant to paragraph (1) shall also apply if the customer demands reimbursement of wasted expenditure instead of a claim for compensation for damages or instead of performance.

(3) To the extent that liability for damages towards DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, is excluded or limited, this also applies with regard to the personal liability for damages of the employees, workers, staff, representatives and vicarious agents of DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber.

9. Retention of title

(1) Ownership of the purchased item is reserved until all payments from the delivery contract have been received. If the customer breaches the contract, in particular if payment is delayed, DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, is entitled to take back the purchased item. Taking back the purchased item constitutes a withdrawal from the contract. DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, is entitled to dispose of the purchased item after taking it back; the proceeds from the disposal are to be credited to the customer's liabilities - less reasonable disposal costs.

(2) The customer is obliged to treat the purchased item with care.

(3) In the event of seizures or other interventions by third parties, the customer must immediately notify DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, in writing so that a lawsuit can be filed in accordance with Section 771 of the Code of Civil Procedure. If the third party is unable to reimburse the judicial and extrajudicial costs of a lawsuit in accordance with Section 771 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the customer is liable for the resulting loss.

(4) The customer is entitled to resell the purchased item in the ordinary course of business; however, he hereby assigns all claims in the amount of the final invoice amount (including VAT) of this claim that arise from the resale against his customers or third parties, regardless of whether the purchased item was resold without or after processing. The customer remains authorized to collect this claim even after the assignment. The authority of DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, to collect the claim itself remains unaffected. DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, undertakes, however, not to collect the claim as long as the customer meets his payment obligations from the proceeds received, does not fall into arrears and, in particular, no application has been made to open composition or insolvency proceedings or payments have been suspended. However, if this is the case, the customer may be required to disclose the assigned claims and their debtors, provide all information necessary for collection, hand over the relevant documents and inform the debtors (third parties) of the assignment.

(5) The processing or transformation of the purchased item by the customer is always carried out for DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber. If the purchased item is processed with other items that do not belong to DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, acquires joint ownership of the new item in proportion to the value of the purchased item (final invoice amount, including VAT) to the other processed items at the time of processing. In all other respects, the same applies to the item created through processing as to the purchased item delivered subject to reservation.

(6) If the purchased item is inseparably mixed with other items that do not belong to DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, acquires co-ownership of the new item in proportion to the value of the purchased item (final invoice amount, including VAT) to the other mixed items at the time of mixing. If the mixing takes place in such a way that the customer's item is to be regarded as the main item, it is deemed agreed that the customer transfers co-ownership to DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, on a pro rata basis. The customer shall safeguard the sole ownership or co-ownership thus created for DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber.

(7) The customer also assigns to DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, the claims to secure the claims of DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, against him, which arise from the connection of the purchased item with a property against a third party.

(8) DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber, undertakes to release the securities to which it is entitled at the customer's request to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claims to be secured by more than 10%; the selection of the securities to be released is the responsibility of DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber.

10. Place of jurisdiction – place of performance

(1) If the customer is a merchant, the place of jurisdiction is the registered office of DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber; however, DDHT GmbH & Co. KG is also entitled to sue the customer at the court of his place of residence.

(2) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding, however, all legal norms that refer to another legal system and excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG of 11 April 1980).

(3) Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, the place of performance is the registered office of DDHT GmbH & Co. KG, owner Dr. Dr. (PhD-UCN) J. Lechner, R. Huber
