Teningen, Germany, Oktober 2019

 

1. General, scope of the contract and validity

The General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all services and deliveries of all kinds provided by VERVE Water Mobility GmbH as a contractor (“AN”) within the framework of the contractual relationship concluded with the customer (“AG”). These General Terms and Conditions, as amended, also apply to all current and future services and deliveries that the Contractor provides to the Client, even if they are not expressly referred to in individual cases at the time of conclusion of the contract. The General Terms and Conditions of the Ag are excluded for the contractual relationship and the entire business relationship and are not the content of the contract. This also applies if the Address does not respond to a letter from the AG of any kind, which is affiliated to the General Terms and Conditions of the AG.

 

2. Offer and acceptance

Offers of the AN are in principle subject to change. The AN reserves the right to accept or reject offers from the AG at his choice. The contract is concluded by written acceptance of the order of the client by the Contractor, whereby the Contractor is also entitled to conclude the contract conclusively by including the service or delivery to be provided in accordance with the offer of the Client. Amendments and additions to the order require the written confirmation of the Contractor in order to become the subject of this contractual relationship. In the event of an order change, the delivery/performance period may be adjusted for a reasonable period of time. Materially justified minor changes to the performance of services by the Anton are deemed to have been approved in advance.

 

3. Performance and delivery, obligation to cooperate of the AG

The CONTRACTOR reserves the right to carry out services and deliveries or parts thereof by third parties commissioned by him in germany and within and outside Europe and/or to have them delivered directly to the client. The basis for the provision of services and deliveries is the written service description. Unless otherwise agreed, the performance or delivery defined in the service description shall take place at the place of performance, within normal working hours, Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 17:00. If services and deliveries are provided outside normal working hours at the request of the customer, the additional costs will be invoiced separately. The Contractor is entitled to partial deliveries or advance deliveries as well as services. The AG undertakes to provide all information, documents and aids necessary for the services and supplies to be provided in good time and to support all measures necessary for the provision of the service and delivery by the Contractor (see also point 5). Unless otherwise agreed, the delivery of goods shall be deemed ex-INW in accordance with INCOTERMS® sold in 2010.

 

4. Acceptance, Transfer of Risk

The acceptance of the service or delivery is confirmed by the customer on the release protocol (acceptance confirmation) drawn up by the Contractor. Defects must be noted by the agprous in writing or reported immediately in writing (see also point 10), if the service or delivery is deemed to have been taken over without defects. In the case of deliveries of all kinds, the client is obliged to inspect the delivered products as soon as possible and any defects must be announced in writing and in detail no later than 4 weeks after receipt of the goods. The existence of minor defects does not entitle the AG to refuse acceptance. If the functionality of the service or delivery provided is largely given or is used by the client, the service or delivery shall be deemed to have been accepted. With the acceptance of the service or delivery or the delivery for the dispatch of these to a third party, the risk passes to the customer. If the service owed is made available to the AG by electronic data transmission, the service shall be deemed to have been provided at the time of the demonstrable transfer of the data. The timing of the data transfer is crucial.

 

5. Fulfillment date

Compliance with the fulfillment date is only possible with the fulfilment of the required obligation of cooperation of the client. Delays caused by the conduct of the Client are not the ones responsible for the Client. Any additional costs are to be borne by the AG. However, the AG is not entitled to withdrawal or compensation for exceeding the promised dates. In the case of long-term contracts and/or recurring services, the AG is obliged to provide a forecast in good time.
