7.4 Any transport costs, travelling expenses, labour and material expenses which may be incurred in effecting a cure shall be for the Seller’s account, provided that they have not been increased because the goods have been relocated following delivery to another location other than the Buyer’s branch offices, unless the relocation is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.

8. Reservation of title
8.1 The Seller shall reserve the title to the supplied goods as a security for all claims against the Buyer to which he is entitled from the business relationship.  If the Buyer’s conduct is in breach of the contract, in particular if he is in default with payment, the Seller shall be entitled to take back the goods.  Taking back the goods by the Seller shall constitute withdrawal from the contract.  After taking back the goods the Seller shall be entitled to sell them, the proceeds of the sale are to be offset against the Buyer’s liabilities – minus reasonable costs of sale.
8.2 The Seller’s title shall cover the new products created as a result of the goods subject to reservation of title being processed.  The goods subject to reservation of title shall be processed for us as manufacturer.  If these goods are processed, connected to or combined with goods not belonging to the Seller, the Seller shall acquire co-ownership to them in proportion to the invoiced value of the goods subject to reservation of title to the invoiced value of the other materials.
8.3 All accounts created by the sale of goods subject to reservation of title including drafts and cheques shall be assigned by the Buyer to the Seller here and now as a security for the respective claims in accordance with Para 1.  When selling goods in which the Seller has co-ownership, the assignment shall be restricted to that proportion of the account corresponding to his proportion of co-ownership.
8.4 As long as the Buyer is prepared and in apposition to fulfil his obligations to the Seller properly, he may dispose of the goods owned or co-owned by the Seller in a proper business transaction and collect the accounts assigned to the Seller himself.  The Seller shall undertake not to collect he account as long as the Buyer fulfils his payment obligations from the proceeds he takes in, does not fall into arrears with his payments and in particular, no application is made to open insolvency proceedings against him and he does not stop making his payments.  If this is the case, the Seller may consequently demand that the Buyer informs the Seller of the assigned accounts and who owes them and hands over all the information required for the Seller to collect the debts and hands over to the Seller all the relevant documents and notifies the debtors that the accounts have been assigned to the Seller.
8.5 Assignments by bill of sale as a security, pledges and assignments of accounts, even by way of factoring, are only allowed if the Buyer has obtained the Seller’s prior consent in writing.

9.1 If the destination is in the Federal Republic of Germany, the Buyer shall have the option of paying the invoiced amount by direct debit, cash in advance or cash on delivery.
9.2 Consignments shall only be delivered from Germany to another country if payment is made in advance.  The ordered goods shall in this case only be despatched to the Buyer after the invoiced amount has been received. 
9.3 Unless agreed otherwise in writing, the Seller’s invoices shall be due for payment within 30 days from the date of invoice in full.
9.4 The Seller shall be entitled, in spite of the Buyer’s terms and conditions otherwise, to offset payments first of all against the Buyer’s oldest debts, and he shall inform the Buyer of how the offset has been made.  If costs and interest has already been incurred, the Seller shall consequently be entitled to offset the payment first of all against the costs and then against the interest and finally against the main debt.

9.6 The Buyer shall be in default if he fails to pay invoices by the contractual payment date.

9.8 If, after signing the contract, the Seller becomes aware of specific circumstances which question the Buyer’s creditworthiness, in particular if enforcement measures have been instigated by the Buyer’s creditors, or if fails to pay on time or if the Buyer stops making his payments, the Seller shall consequently be entitled to make all outstanding debt payable.  In this case the Seller shall, moreover, be entitled to demand that securities are furnished within a reasonable period of time.  After this period of time has expired, the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract.
9.9 If the Buyer is in default with payment for goods and services based upon the same legal relationship, the Seller - irrespective of his other rights – shall be entitled to demand payment in advance as well as withhold goods not yet delivered or services not yet rendered.
9.10 The Buyer shall only be entitled to offset if his counter-claims have been adjudicated or if they have been recognised by the Seller or if they are not disputed.
 
10. Liability
10.1 All the Buyer’s compensation claims for damages against the Seller shall be inadmissible regardless of whatever legal reason upon which they are based, unless the Seller or his assistants have acted with intent or gross negligence, or if he has breached important contractual duties through ordinary negligence.  Important contractual duties are those obligations protecting the essential legal positions of the Party to the contract, which the contract specifically has to grant him in its content and purpose.  Those contractual duties the fulfilment of which makes it possible to execute the contract properly at all in the first place and upon the fulfilment of which the other Party to the contract has relied and ought to be able to rely, constitute, moreover, important contractual duties.
10.2 In the event of grossly negligent or ordinary negligent breach of an important contractual obligation, compensation for damages shall be limited to typical and foreseeable damages.
10.3 Except in cases of intent and gross negligence, the liability for damages not affecting the subject-matter of the contract shall be inadmissible.
10.4 The limitations of and exclusions from liability in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall not apply for claims arising as a result of fraudulent behaviour on the part of the Seller, as well as for liability for warranted performance and characteristics, for claims under the German Product Liability Act as well as from death, personal injury or physical harm.
10.5 The Seller cannot be held liable for possible damage to health based on the consumption of cigars, tobacco products, smoking pipes and other related smoking products – neither directly during consumption or subsequently at any point in time.
10.6 In so far as the Seller cannot be held liable or if his liability is limited, this shall also   apply for his salaried staff, employees, representatives and assistants.
10.7 In cases in which liability is contractual and non-contractual, a time limit of one year shall apply for all compensation claims, which can be asserted against the Seller for damages or compensation for expenditure spent in vain, except in cases of intent, gross negligence or personal injury.  The period of time shall begin at the point in time specified in Section 199 of the German Civil Code [BGB].  It shall come into force no later than the expiry of the maximum periods specified in Section 199 Para 3 and Para 4 of the German Civil Code [BGB].
 
11. Final Provisions, Applicable Law, Place of jurisdiction
11.1 These General Terms and Conditions of Business and all legal relationships between the Seller and Buyer shall be governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany.  The provisions of the UN law on sales [CISG] shall not apply.
11.2 The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising directly or indirectly from the contractual relationship is Augsburg.  The Seller shall, however, also be entitled to take legal action against the Buyer at the latter’s general place of jurisdiction. If the Buyer does not have a general place of jurisdiction within Germany or another EU member state, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from and in connection with this contract shall be the courts having jurisdiction where the Seller is based.
11.3 The place of fulfilment is the Seller’s principal place of business.
11.4 Should one or more or the provisions of these terms of business be or become invalid or incomplete, or in need of a supplement, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected as a result.
11.5 The Parties to the contract shall in this case be obliged to make an arrangement which comes closest to the economic objective of the invalid provision or fills the gap.
