Article 6: Offsetting, Retention

Your right to offset shall apply only if your counterclaim has been legally established in court or recognised by us. Furthermore, you only have the right to exercise a right of retention in so far as your counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.

Article 7: Reservation of title

Delivered goods remain our property until the price has been fully paid.

Article 8: Liability for defects

Should a purchased product be defective you are entitled to rectification (remedying of the defect or a replacement delivery). Should the rectification fail, you can withdraw from the contract if the defect is significant, reduce the purchase price or make a compensation claim.

Unless stated otherwise below, all further claims by you, regardless of their legal basis, will be rejected. We will not be liable for any damage that does not pertain directly and physically to the item supplied and specifically not for any lost profits or other financial losses. Where we do not accept liability or liability is restricted, this also applies to the personal liability of staff, representatives and agents.

The limitation of liability set out above does not apply if the damage is caused by intent, gross negligence or in the case of personal injury. Likewise it does not apply if you make a claim for product liability under the Consumer Protection Act.

Where we negligently fail to carry out a significant contractual duty, our liability for compensation for physical damage is limited to the typically occurring physical damage.

Should rectification be effected via a replacement delivery, you must send back the first delivery to us within 30 days. If we have not received the goods within this timescale, we are entitled to invoice you for the replacement product and take the amount from the payment channel used for the initial payment.

The limitation period is 24 months from the time of delivery.
