5. dispatch
If we do not have any special or deviating shipping instructions, we will ship the goods by the most favourable route at our discretion. The goods are shipped at the risk and expense of the customer (exw- ex works). This also applies if the transport is carried out with our own vehicle or if we bear or advance the transport costs.

We make every effort to meet the delivery dates. Delivery dates are exclusively binding for us if we have agreed them in writing. Otherwise deliveries shall be made within a reasonable time after our order confirmation. If, however, we are prevented from complying with the delivery time by unforeseeable circumstances which we were unable to avert despite exercising due care (e. g. industrial disputes, civil unrest, official measures, operational disruptions, delays in the delivery of essential rawmaterials, auxiliary materials or operating supplies), the delivery time shall be extended by a reasonable period of time without being able to assert claims against us. If the afore mentioned circumstances occur at the client’s premises, the same legal consequences shall apply to the client’s obligation to take delivery.

We are entitled to assert the right of ownership by collection and to seek satisfaction by other sale. We are entitled to use any proceeds from this to satisfy all other claims against the purchaser, for example claims resulting from a current account relationship. In the absence of a contrary declaration, the taking back of the object of purchase does not constitute a withdrawal from the contract. In the event of access by third parties to the goods subject to retention of title, the purchaser shall draw attention to our ownership and notify us immediately. Pledging or transfer by way of security is not permitted. Commercial sellers are entitled to resell the goods. In the event of default in payment, however, the purchaser hereby assigns to us his claims from the resale to which he is entitled from his purchaser for collection. Likewise, the Buyer assigns to us all other claims to which he is entitled with regard to the reserved goods on whatever legal grounds(damages, enrichment, reimbursement of expenses, compensation claim, insurance contract, etc. ) and we accept all such assignments. If the reserved goods are processed, the new product becomes our property. If a new item is created by processing and combining it with items owned by third parties, we shall be entitled to co-ownership. In this case, we shall have the option of acquiring the entire item against payment of the third party’s share or to transfer it to the other party in exchange for replacement of his share. In this case, ownership shall only pass to the other party after receipt of the compensation payment.
