Status 05/2018


§ 1 Validity
(1) All deliveries, services and offers are made exclusively on the basis of these general terms and conditions of delivery. These are an integral part of all contracts concluded by medacom GmbH with the purchasers for the deliveries or services offered by medacom GmbH. They also apply to all future deliveries, services and offers to the customer, even if they are not agreed separately. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of delivery shall not become part of the contract unless their validity is expressly agreed in writing.
(2) Terms and conditions of the customer or third parties shall not apply, even if medacom GmbH does not separately object to their validity in individual cases. Even if medacom GmbH refers to a letter that contains or refers to the terms and conditions of the customer or a third party, this does not constitute an agreement with the validity of those terms and conditions.

§ 2 Offer and conclusion of contract
(1) All offers of medacom GmbH are subject to change and non-binding, unless they are expressly marked as binding or contain a specific acceptance period. The presentation of our product range on the Internet does not constitute an offer in the sense of §§ 145 ff. BGB (German Civil Code). By placing an order by e-mail, fax or telephone, the customer bindingly declares to purchase the ordered goods. If the customer orders electronically, medacom GmbH will immediately confirm receipt of the order. The confirmation of receipt does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order. Orders can be accepted by medacom GmbH within fourteen days after receipt. The acceptance can be declared either in writing or by delivery of the goods to the customer.
(2) Acceptance is subject to the availability of goods, in particular subject to the correct and timely delivery by medacom GmbH's suppliers, unless medacom GmbH is responsible for the non-delivery. The customer will be informed immediately about the unavailability of the goods. The consideration already paid will be refunded immediately.
(3) Information provided by medacom GmbH on the subject of the delivery or service (e.g. weights, dimensions, utility values, load capacity, tolerances and technical data) as well as our representations of the same (e.g. drawings and illustrations) are only approximate, unless the usability for the contractually intended purpose requires an exact match. They are not guaranteed quality features, but descriptions or characteristic drawings of the delivery or service. Deviations that are customary in the trade and deviations that occur due to legal regulations or represent technical improvements as well as the replacement of components by equivalent parts are permissible insofar as they do not impair the usability for the contractually intended purpose.
(4) Complaint procedure via online dispute resolution for consumers (OS): http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not willing and not obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.

§ 3 Prices and payment
(1) The prices shall apply to the scope of services and deliveries listed in the order confirmations. Additional or special services shall be charged separately. Prices are ex works plus packaging and the applicable statutory value added tax. In WEB-Shops, which are exclusively addressed to consumers in the sense of §13, BGB, the prices are ex works plus packaging and shipping costs.
(2) If the agreed prices are based on the list prices of medacom GmbH and the delivery is to take place more than four months after conclusion of the contract, the list prices of medacom GmbH valid at the time of delivery shall apply (in each case minus an agreed percentage or fixed discount).
(3) Invoice amounts are to be paid within thirty days without any deduction, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The date of receipt by medacom GmbH is decisive for the date of payment. Checks are only considered as payment after they have been cashed. If the customer does not pay on the due date, the outstanding amounts are subject to interest of 5% p.a. from the due date; the right to claim higher interest and further damages in case of default remains unaffected.
(4) Offsetting with counterclaims of the customer or the retention of payments due to such claims is only permissible if the counterclaims are undisputed or have been legally established.
(5) medacom GmbH shall be entitled to perform or render outstanding deliveries or services only against advance payment or provision of security if, after conclusion of the contract, it becomes aware of circumstances which are likely to substantially reduce the creditworthiness of the customer and which jeopardize payment of medacom GmbH's outstanding claims by the customer arising from the respective contractual relationship (including from other individual orders to which the same framework agreement applies).

If such events make the delivery or service of medacom GmbH significantly more difficult or impossible and the hindrance is not only of temporary duration, medacom GmbH is entitled to withdraw from the contract.

This shall also apply if partial deliveries are made or medacom GmbH has assumed other services (e.g. shipping or installation). If the shipment or handover is delayed due to circumstances caused by the customer, the risk shall pass to the customer from the day on which medacom GmbH is ready to ship and has notified the customer of this.

They shall be deemed to have been approved if medacom GmbH has not received a written notification of defects with regard to obvious defects or other defects that were recognizable during an immediate, careful examination within seven working days after delivery of the delivery item, or otherwise within seven working days after the discovery of the defect or the point in time at which the defect was recognizable for the customer during normal use of the delivery item without closer examination.

The freight costs for the return of e.g. repairs and complaints shall be borne by the customer. Any returned goods will be sent back without any further costs.

(4) If a defect is due to the fault of medacom GmbH, the customer may claim damages under the conditions specified in § 8.
(5) In case of defects of components of other manufacturers, which madacom GmbH cannot eliminate due to licensing or actual reasons, medacom GmbH will, at its discretion, assert its warranty claims against the manufacturers and suppliers for the account of the customer or assign them to the customer. Warranty claims against medacom GmbH shall only exist in the case of such defects under the other conditions and in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions of Delivery if the legal enforcement of the aforementioned claims against the manufacturer and supplier was unsuccessful or is futile, for example due to insolvency. For the duration of the legal dispute, the statute of limitations of the relevant warranty claims of the customer against medacom GmbH shall be suspended.

(2) In the event that the delivery item infringes an industrial property right or copyright of a third party, medacom GmbH shall, at its discretion and at its expense, modify or replace the delivery item in such a way that no rights of third parties are infringed any longer, but the delivery item continues to fulfill the contractually agreed functions, or procure the right of use for the customer by concluding a license agreement. If it does not succeed in doing so within a reasonable period of time, the Purchaser shall be entitled to rescind the contract or to reduce the purchase price by a reasonable amount. Any claims for damages of the Purchaser shall be subject to the limitations of § 8 of these General Terms and Conditions of Delivery.
(3) In case of infringement of rights by products of other manufacturers delivered by medacom GmbH, medacom GmbH shall, at its discretion, assert its claims against the manufacturers and upstream suppliers for the account of the customer or assign them to the customer.

Indirect damage and consequential damage resulting from defects in the delivery item shall also only be eligible for compensation insofar as such damage is typically to be expected when the delivery item is used for its intended purpose.
(4) The above exclusions and limitations of liability apply to the same extent in favor of the organs, legal representatives, employees and other vicarious agents of medacom GmbH.
(5) Insofar as medacom GmbH provides technical information or acts in an advisory capacity and this information or advice is not part of the contractually agreed scope of services owed by medacom GmbH, this shall be done free of charge and to the exclusion of any liability.

(4) In the event of resale of the reserved goods, the customer hereby assigns to medacom GmbH by way of security the resulting claim against the purchaser in the event of co-ownership of medacom GmbH in the reserved goods in proportion to the co-ownership share.

(5) If third parties access the reserved goods, in particular by seizure, the customer shall immediately inform them of medacom GmbH's ownership and inform medacom GmbH thereof in order to enable medacom GmbH to enforce its ownership rights. If the third party is not in a position to reimburse medacom GmbH for the judicial or extrajudicial costs incurred in this connection, the customer shall be liable to medacom GmbH.
(6) medacom GmbH shall release the goods subject to retention of title as well as the items or claims replacing them upon request at its discretion, insofar as their value exceeds the amount of the secured claims by more than 50%.
(7) If medacom GmbH withdraws from the contract in case of breach of contract by the customer, in particular in case of default of payment, medacom GmbH shall be entitled to demand the return of the reserved goods.
