Changes and ancillary agreements to this are only effective with written confirmation by Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG. Any general terms and conditions of the buyer are hereby expressly contradicted, these are not valid. 1. Conclusion of contract Unless otherwise agreed, a contract is concluded with the written order confirmation or the delivery of the ordered goods. The order confirmation is decisive for the scope of the delivery. When ordering by telephone, Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG is not liable for incorrect deliveries, the customer bears the full risk from this order. If accessories, conversion kits or other parts are delivered incorrectly or incompletely due to unclear, incorrect or incomplete information, the customer bears the entire risk. Claims for damages of any kind are excluded. We expressly reserve our property rights and copyrights to offers. The price information in our catalogues, circulars, price lists, websites or in the information belonging to the offer are non-binding unless they are expressly designated as binding in the order confirmation. 2. Delivery Delivery times are only binding after express written agreement and are deemed to have been met when the ordered goods have left our premises or are ready for collection. The delivery period is extended appropriately in the case of labor disputes, in particular strikes and lockouts, as well as the occurrence of unforeseen obstacles that are not the responsibility of Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG. The delivery period is also deemed to have been met if the dispatch is delayed at the instigation of the customer. We reserve the right to make partial deliveries if the delivered goods can be used by the buyer. If we are in default of delivery, the buyer can set a reasonable deadline for performance. After the deadline, the buyer can withdraw from the contract. Claim for damages is excluded. If the customer does not accept or collect the ordered goods, the goods will be stored with us at the risk and peril of the customer. If the customer refuses to accept or collect the goods after setting a deadline of two weeks, we are free to dispose of the goods elsewhere. The buyer bears the damage incurred. Shipping is at the risk and expense of the buyer as soon as the goods have left our premises. Transport insurance is only taken out at the express request of the buyer and is at his expense. The shipping method is determined by us. We cannot assume any liability for determining the cheapest shipping route. If the transport of the goods is delayed through no fault of our own, the goods will be stored at the expense of the buyer. The acknowledgment of receipt from the respective transport company is sufficient as proof that the goods have been properly dispatched. Damaged goods are only to be accepted from the transport company once the damage has been documented and acknowledged by the transport company. In the event of non-compliance, the buyer must bear the resulting damage himself. Goods damaged during transport must not be returned to us under any circumstances without our written consent, but must be made available to the transport company. For the damage recognized by the transport company, we will make a replacement delivery immediately after receipt of the damage report. 3. Prices and terms of payment All prices quoted are in euros and do not include insurance and shipping costs, but include the applicable VAT. Payments are to be made in advance upon receipt of the goods by the buyer by bank transfer, cash or EC card. We are not liable for any misprints in product labeling in our catalogues, brochures and advertisements. Price changes are only permitted if there are more than four months between the conclusion of the contract and the agreed delivery date and we have to pay a higher price due to a price increase by the manufacturer in the meantime or if the statutory sales tax or customs duties increase. In this case, the seller's price valid on the day of delivery applies. If the buyer is a merchant for whom the contract is part of the operation of the trade, price changes are permissible if there are more than four weeks between the conclusion of the contract and the delivery date. 4. Retention of title Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG retains title to the goods it sells, as well as all installed accessories and spare parts, until the claims due on the basis of the contract have been paid in full. In the event of breach of contract by the buyer, in particular in the event of default in payment, Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG is entitled to withdraw from the contract and to demand the return of the goods subject to its retention of title. The buyer may only sell the delivery item in the ordinary course of business while passing on the retention of title, but not pledge it or assign it as security. In the event of seizure, confiscation or other dispositions by third parties, he must inform Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG immediately. 5. WarrantyAll those parts that turn out to be defective as a result of a circumstance that occurred before the transfer of risk are to be repaired or replaced free of charge at the discretion of Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG. The company Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG must be informed immediately in writing if such defects are found. Replaced parts become the property of Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG. No liability is assumed for damage caused by unsuitable or improper use, incorrect assembly or commissioning by the buyer or third parties, natural wear and tear, incorrect or negligent handling, unsuitable equipment or electrical influences, provided that they are not the fault of Lightweight GmbH&Co .KG. Furthermore, all parts used for motor sports, as well as parts without an operating license, are generally excluded from a guarantee. After agreement with Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG, the buyer must give the necessary time and opportunity to carry out all repairs and replacement deliveries that Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG deems necessary at its reasonable discretion, otherwise Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG is released from liability for defects. If the repair or new delivery fails, the buyer reserves the right to claim reductions or, at his option, to withdraw from the contract. The liability of the company Lightweight-Auspuffanlagen GmbH is canceled due to improper changes or repair work carried out by the buyer or third parties without the prior consent of Lightweight-Auspuffanlagen GmbH. Used goods are sold with the exclusion of any warranty. As part of the purchase of consumer goods, the warranty is limited to a period of one year. In the area of damages, the seller is liable for his own slightly negligent violations of essential contractual obligations and for those of his vicarious agents only for the foreseeable, contract-typical, direct average damage. Excluded from this are claims arising from product liability or guarantee as well as liability consequences in the area of bodily injury or damage to health of the buyer. The statute of limitations for the buyer's warranty rights is 1 year and begins when the purchased item is accepted. 6. Returns of goods and returns In the case of returns or shipments of goods, the buyer is liable for proper packaging of the goods. Goods will only be credited after a thorough examination of the returned goods. The return must be "free domicile". The buyer will be charged 20% of the value of the goods for re-storage. Goods with a net value of less than EUR 50.00 will generally not be taken back for a goods credit. Damaged or defective goods cannot be returned and will not be credited. Returns of individual and custom-made products are generally excluded. 7. Fulfillment of legal regulations Modifications and modifications to vehicles that are used on public roads must be entered in the vehicle documents. If there is no general operating license for the parts, the buyer must present the vehicle to the Technical Inspection Association. Responsibility for converted vehicles or their parts lies with the buyer. Any claims against the seller due to non-approval by the TÜV are excluded, unless the seller has expressly assured the TÜV admissibility in writing, taking into account the relevant conditions. In the case of vehicles on which changes are made at Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG after the conversion or TÜV approval, there is no liability if the change was indirectly responsible for the damage. 8. Place of performance and place of jurisdiction Place of performance is Sinn - Fleisbach. For all disputes arising from the contractual relationship, the seat of Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG is the place of jurisdiction if the buyer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG is also entitled to sue at the buyer's place of business. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to all legal relationships between the buyer and Lightweight GmbH&Co.KG.
