All deliveries, services and offerings of the Corporation are exclusively subject to the following general conditions of business. The Corporation will not accept any conditions of business of the customer divergent- or contradictory to its own conditions of business, unless the Corporation expressly agrees to their application. Any pre-contractual negotiations on the part of the Corporation are not to be deemed as an acceptance of any divergent- or contradictory conditions of business of the customer or of any other party. These present conditions of business are to be deemed as a framework agreement for all additional future business as well between the contractual parties.

II. Conclusion of a Contract

An offering to purchase on the part of a customer is to require a confirmation of order on the part of the Corporation. The despatch by the Corporation of goods ordered by a customer is to be deemed as the conclusion of a contract of purchase and sale between the parties. The receipt of an offering to purchase will be immediately responded to by an email message. The email message is not to be deemed as a confirmation of order, it is merely a notice that the offering to purchase has been received by the Corporation.

III. Price

All prices quoted by the Corporation are to be considered as net before the addition of value-added tax, unless otherwise expressly mentioned. The prices applicable are those current at the point in time of the order placed by the customer, unless otherwise evidentially agreed with the Corporation.

In cases of error, the Corporation hereby reserves the right to alter prices correspondingly. The customer is entitled in such cases to cancel the relative order, or to declare disagreement with the alteration in price.
