1. Scope of application
For all orders, commissions and supply requests (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Orders”) placed by us and for all contracts in which we are the buyer, purchaser or customer, the following Purchase Conditions shall apply exclusively in relation to entrepreneurs and legal entities under public law (including public law institutions without legal capacity) and special funds under public law. Our Purchase Conditions shall also apply to future contracts without the need for a new agreement to include them. We shall be bound to other general business terms and conditions of our suppliers, contractors or other contractual partners (hereinafter “Contractor’) only if we have expressly consented thereto in writing. The Contractor shall be deemed to have accepted our Purchase Conditions at the latest on execution of the delivery or service (hereinafter jointly referred to as “Delivery”). They shall also apply even if we accept the Delivery without reservation in the knowledge that the Contractor’s general terms and conditions do not concur with our own.
2. Conclusion of contract
a) Our orders and supply requests (hereinafter “Orders”) shall not be binding unless we have specified that they are binding. A contract shall not be entered into until we have placed an Order in writing.
b) If we have stated that an Order is binding we shall be bound by such Order for four (4) weeks after it has been submitted.
3. Content of contract
a) To the extent that the Contractor is not required to deliver goods and that the parties have not expressly agreed otherwise, the Contractor shall be required to render the Delivery stipulated in the contract and shall be obligated to ensure the success of such Delivery. In particular, the Delivery shall have to be suitable for the purpose set out in the contract.
b) To the extent that the Delivery includes the rendering of services, the Contractor shall ensure that such services correspond to its representations in the qualification questionnaire and meet the state of the art. The Contractor shall provide evidence of the services which it has provided as agreed upon in the Order. Evidence that the services have been provided shall contain the name of the Contractor’s employee, a detailed list of the services rendered, the material and the time required therefor. The Contractor shall deploy suitable and adequately qualified staff for providing the services due under the contract. The staff may be replaced only subject to our express written consent.

g) The Contractor shall be allowed to make partial deliveries only with our consent.
4. Property rights
a) To the extent it does not involve copyrightable works, for which the special provision under Item 4.b shall apply, the Contractor alone shall be entitled to all of its data, ideas, results, products, inventions (be they patentable or not), discoveries, or know-how, and that of its employees, its subcontractors and other third parties whom the Contractor engages, which are created, effected, or made in connection with the contractually owed performance and which are necessary for the purpose of delivery (hereinafter, the “Work Product”), and the Customer alone shall be entitled to unrestricted use and exploitation without any restrictions as to time, location, and purpose. The Contractor shall be obligated to inform the Customer about the Work Product without undue delay and to make all Work Product available to the Customer. The information provided by the Contractor must be sufficiently detailed and extensive, such that the Customer is in a position to decide whether it shall demand the transferral of rights from the Contractor pursuant to the following provisions. Upon demand by the Customer, the Contractor shall make additional information (both verbally and in written form) available to the Contractor. The Contractor shall be obligated to convey to the Customer upon the Customer’s demand all rights in the Work Product. The Contractor shall be obligated inter alia to transfer to the Customer, upon the Customer’s demand, all intellectual property rights in the Work Product (including patents, patent applications, and design/utility models). The Contractor shall (i) provide all declarations necessary for transferral; (ii) shall furnish and sign documents; and (iii) with its best efforts support the Customer with respect to applications, registration, maintenance, and defence of intellectual property rights.
b) With regard to copyrights and all rights in relation to copyrightable works of the Contractor, its employees, its subcontractors and other third parties, whom the Contractor engages, which are created, effected or made in connection with the contractually owed performance and which are necessary for the purpose of delivery (“Works-for-Hire”), the Contractor shall be obligated to grant the Customer an exclusive and transferable right, unrestricted as to time, location, and content, to the use and exploitation in all kinds use including, but not limited to, the right of reproduction, dissemination, broadcasting, public sharing, and making available, exhibition, archiving, and transmitting, and the usage of such types of use which are, as of the time of entering into the contract, yet unknown (§31a of the Urheberrechtsgesetz (the Copyright Act)). The Contractor shall be obligated to grant the Customer a free modification right to the extent that an item of work requires modification for deployment in compliance with the Customer’s interest, including, but not limited to, for repeat use. Technical modifications and/or format changes are permitted without restriction. Further, the Contractor shall be obligated to grant the Customer the right to digitalize any Work Product including, but not limited to, the right of reproduction and/or dissemination as well as making any Work-for-Hire publicly accessible (alone or together with other products) in any quantity on digital data carriers, print media, online media, advertising films, newsletters, or other mailing campaigns and presentations.
c) The Contractor shall, in the case of Works-for-Hire, waive identification of its name and shall ensure a corresponding waiver on behalf of its employees, its subcontractors, or other third parties whom the Contractor engages, to the extent that such is not otherwise adhered to in the Order in writing for individual cases.
d) The Contractor shall ensure, through respective agreements with subcontractors and third parties, that it can fulfil its obligations for the transferral and/or granting of rights.
e) The transferral and/or granting of rights pursuant to the terms above shall be settled with the compensation contractually stipulated for each respective Order.
f) The Contractor shall keep confidential the Work Product and Works- for-Hire and all details revealed to it with respect thereto in accordance with Item 14. This shall include, but not be limited to, application to the efficacious carrying out of filing for intellectual property rights.
g) In the event the Contractor states in writing that it has no interest in the conveyance of the rights to the Work Product, the Contractor shall have the right to file an application for the registration thereof as an intellectual property right. The Contractor shall receive a right of use, without any restrictions as to time, location, and content, and with the right to complete or partial sublicensing, in such Work Product and in any intellectual property rights in relation thereto. Said right of use shall encompass the right (1) to manufacture, to offer, and to bring into the stream of commerce, or either to import for the mentioned purposes or to possess products which are the object of the Work Product or intellectual property protection; and/or (2) to apply procedures that are the object of the Work Product or intellectual property protection; and/or (3) to offer products manufactured using the procedure, to bring them into the stream of commerce or to use them or to either import or possess them for such mentioned purposes.
h) The terms set forth in this Item 4 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the portion of the Work Product or Work-for-Hire which the Contractor, its employees, its subcontractors, or other third parties, whom the Contractor jointly engages with the Customer and the Customer’s employees, have created, effected, or made; for cases including, but not limited to, those wherein the Contractor, its employees, its subcontractors, or other third parties whom the Contractor engages, are co-inventors.
i) To the extent that our employees make inventions under this contract during the term of this contract, we alone shall be entitled to the rights in and arising from these inventions. The same shall apply to all data, ideas, results, findings, and inventions (be they patentable or not), discoveries, or know-how of the Customer or its employees. Rights of the Contractor in this respect – regardless of type – do not exist.
j) If rights in any Work Product are transferred to the Customer at its demand, the Customer shall assume the preparation and filing of registrations for intellectual property rights for the benefit of the Customer at its own expense. Such shall not affect registration for intellectual property rights in which the Customer does not have any interest and of which the Customer has informed the Contractor.
5. Prices and terms of payment
a) All prices stated in the Order shall be fixed prices unless otherwise agreed in the Order or individually. Unless otherwise agreed in the Order or individually, all prices shall be gross, postage-paid to the delivery address, and shall include all packaging and all other costs of delivery such as taxes, customs duties, etc. (DDP, Incoterms 2020), unless the transport company is chosen by us or we carry out the transport ourselves, or unless otherwise agreed in writing. To the extent that the Contractor is required to carry out assembly, the tools and aids required herefor shall be deemed included in the scope of the service. Work and services which are not included in the original Order or in appendices thereto are additional services for which we can pay remuneration only if we have expressly consented thereto in writing before the work or services are executed. The fact that we accept or take receipt of work or a service shall not substitute for our written consent.
b) One copy of the invoice shall be issued quoting our order number and sent to our accounting department separately.
c) Any agreed advance payments, instalments, and down-payments shall be requested in each case in writing from the Contractor and shall be marked as such. Deposits shall be made only in return for a directly liable, irrevocable and unlimited bank guarantee from a German bank or savings bank (Sparkasse) in the amount of the respective payment due; the bank guarantee shall be acceptable to us and shall waive the guarantor’s defences of unexhausted remedies, contestability, and set-off, with the exception of the right to offset against recognized claims or claims which have been declared final and absolute by a court. The guarantor shall not have the right to deposit.
d) Unless otherwise agreed, payment shall be made within fourteen (14) days with 3% discount or within thirty (30) days net — in each case after the date of invoice — but not before receipt of the defect-free Delivery or, in the case of supplies and services which are subject to acceptance, not before written acceptance by us and, to the extent that handover of documentation and test certificates is part of the Contractor’s scope of service, not before handover in accordance with the agreement. This shall have no effect on § 632a of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (the Civil Code)).
e) The Contractor shall not be able to assign its claims against us or otherwise dispose of them without our prior written consent, which we shall not unreasonably refuse.
6. Delivery time and conditions of dispatch
a) The dates and deadlines stated in the Order or otherwise agreed shall be binding. Partial, advance, or short deliveries and deliveries made outside the business hours listed on the Order) shall require our prior written consent. This shall not justify a premature payment claim. Partial, advance, or surplus deliveries to which we have not consented may be returned or stored at the cost of the Contractor. In the event that the goods are returned, the Contractor shall deliver the goods again on the agreed date. Acceptance of a delayed delivery or service shall not represent a waiver of any claims for default damage.
b) We may stipulate to the Contractor the route, means of transport, and place of delivery. The goods to be supplied shall be packed in an environmentally friendly manner or in another manner at our request. The packaging should protect against damage, soiling, and dampness during transportation. Damages due to inadequate packaging shall be borne by the Contractor even if we made no separate specifications. Upon delivery, the different types shall be packaged separately and shall be clearly marked with the correct part numbers, contract or commission number, and order number.
c) We shall pay the costs of packaging only if remuneration herefor has been expressly agreed. Without prejudice to the Contractor’s statutory and official obligations, the Contractor shall collect the transport packaging of the Delivery at our request and at its cost from the delivery location or have it collected by a third party instructed by it. In the event that we return the packaging carriage paid, the Contractor shall reimburse packaging costs in full. The Contractor shall indemnify us from any third-party claims which are asserted against us owing to or in connection with possession or use of the transport packaging to the extent that we are not liable therefor in our relation to the Contractor alone.
d) On the date of delivery the Contractor shall provide us the requested certificates and with detailed delivery documents in duplicate stating the order date, the order, supply and article numbers, weight and, where appropriate, position, model number, and goods description. The delivery note and packing slip shall be attached to the respective consignment.
e) The Contractor shall be liable for any additional costs caused through negligence and losses incurred owing to failure to observe these dispatch conditions. It shall also be liable fault-based for compliance with the dispatch conditions by its own suppliers.
7. Delay
a) The Contractor shall inform us without undue delay of any impending failure to meet delivery dates as soon as it gains knowledge thereof, stating the reasons and the expected length of the delay. Notifying us of the delay shall not release the Contractor from the consequences of delay. If it becomes apparent that agreed delivery dates cannot be met, the Contractor shall take suitable measures in good time (e.g. shift work, overtime, weekend work, and work on public holidays, staff increases, etc.) to ensure that the delivery dates are met. The costs hereof shall be borne by the Contractor.
b) The Contractor shall be liable for default as provided for by the statutory provisions. Should the Contractor be in default with a partial delivery, we may also assert our rights with respect to those parts of the Delivery for which the Contractor is not yet in default.
c) Without prejudice to any further-reaching statutory or contractual claims, in the event that the Contractor falls into default, we shall be able to demand as minimum damage — in addition to performance — a contractual penalty of 0.2% of the total contract value per day of default, up to a maximum of 5% of the total contract volume. We agree that we shall inform the Contractor of our right to demand a contractual penalty within ten (10) working days following the date of receipt of the delayed Delivery, in the case of partial deliveries from the date of receipt of the last partial Delivery and in the case of deliveries for work no later than the final payment. If portions of the contractual penalty are allocated to specific partial performances, the deadline shall be ten (10) working days from receipt of the respective partial performance.
d) The Contractor may argue that the delay was attributable to our failure to meet our obligation to provide documents, services, or parts only if it has sent out an express formal written reminder in this respect and has still not received them without undue delay. In this event the Contractor may demand a reasonable extension to the delivery time, however, no more than the duration of the delay, excluding other claims. The Contractor may not argue that its own failure to deliver was attributable to the failure of its own suppliers.
e) Occurrences of force majeure (including pandemics or epidemics) or hindrances for which we are not responsible, and which make acceptance of the supply or service at our business or at our customer impossible or substantially more difficult, shall suspend our acceptance obligations for the duration thereof.
8. Place of delivery and performance, acceptance and passage of risk
a) Place of performance for all mutual obligations under the contract shall be Uetersen.
b) We shall inspect deliveries of goods for apparent defects without undue delay, as is customary in the ordinary course of business. We shall report apparent defects to the Contractor within a reasonable period of time after their discovery. If a defect becomes apparent at a later date (hidden defect), we shall notify the Contractor of this within a reasonable period of time, at the latest within 10 working days of discovery. In the case of Deliveries which are intended for resale, the deadline for inspecting the goods shall not commence until the goods have been received by our Contractor; this shall not apply to apparent defects that are visible during the incoming goods inspection. If the Delivery is to be further processed for installation in other equipment or combined with other components to form another product, the functional integrity of the goods shall be inspected in conjunction with the equipment or the other components after installation and after the equipment has been successfully put into operation or after manufacture of the product.
c) Where work or services are to be accepted, formal acceptance shall always take place a reasonable period after completion of the service unless we have expressly agreed otherwise with the Contractor. Each party may involve an expert in the formal acceptance procedure at its own cost. A written acceptance record of the acceptance shall be kept. If the Contractor does not attend joint acceptance despite timely invitation, the effects of acceptance shall begin to apply when we inform the Contractor in writing of the result of successful acceptance.
d) The work and services rendered by the Contractor shall be deemed to be in compliance with the contract only when we have expressly confirmed this in writing. If we do not issue this confirmation within 10 working days after the delivery, the Contractor may set us a reasonable deadline within which we explicitly confirm or reject conformity with the contract. Entire or partial use of the Delivery, especially parts of a building or construction, which are required to continue the work or to prepare the commissioning of the entire system or interim testing, shall not constitute acceptance of the Delivery, nor shall any payments made.
e) Even if we state that we are prepared to pay freight costs, risk shall not pass to us until we or a third party instructed in writing to act on our behalf have taken receipt of the Delivery at the agreed place of performance or until after acceptance of the Delivery, whichever is later. This shall not apply if we select the forwarding company or if we carry out the transport ourselves or if other conditions have been agreed in the Order or individually.
f) We shall not have to accept deliveries which are obviously defective and/or obviously defectively packed or which obviously differ in quantity from the Order.
9. Warranty
a) The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that at the time the contract is entered into, the Delivery has no defects which impair its value or its suitability; that it is suitable for the use designated in the contract; and that the Delivery has the features quoted in our offer letter; the Contractor shall also be responsible for ensuring that the Delivery meets the current general acknowledged technical, health and safety provisions of the provisions of the Produktsicherheitsgesetz (the Product Safety Act, the “ProdG”) and requirements governing health and safety at work, accident prevention, emission protection and environmental protection to the extent that the Delivery falls within the scope of the above provisions. The Contractor shall also guarantee that the Delivery complies with all statutory, official and other regulations applicable in Germany and other countries — depending on the area of deployment as specified by us — such as accident prevention regulations, DIN standards and specifications contained in the current versions of regulations of associations such as Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE), Association of German Engineers (VDI). The Contractor shall also guarantee that any licensing requirements regarding the Delivery, in particular permits and certificates have been obtained. Without express notification by us, the area of deployment shall be considered to be the European Union.
b) The Contractor guarantees that the staff which it deploys have unrestricted social insurance coverage and are insured by an employer’s liability insurance association (Berufsgenossenschaft) and hold the necessary residence and work permits. On request, the Contractor shall provide us with evidence that it has purchased a suitable liability insurance policy with adequate coverage amounts before carrying out the work.
c) We shall have full entitlement to statutory warranty and compensation claims. The Contractor shall bear all costs incurred by remedying the defects, such as assembly and disassembly costs, transport costs, etc.
d) The statutory warranty periods shall apply. If we report defects, the warranty period shall be extended by the period between the date on which the defect is reported and the date on which it is remedied. If the Delivery is replaced in full, the warranty period starts anew; if the Delivery is renewed in part, the warranty period starts anew only for the parts replaced.
e) In addition to the statutory and contractual warranty claims, we shall be entitled to take whatever measures are necessary to remedy the defect at the cost and risk of the Contractor if the Contractor fails to meet its subsequent performance duty within a reasonable period set by us. The same applies in urgent cases provided we have reported the defect to the Contractor and if — owing to the urgency — the loss is likely to be high relative to the Contractor’s warranty obligation.
f) The Contractor shall have sole responsibility for drawings, plans, calculations, etc. used for the contract even if these have been approved by us.
g) The Contractor shall indemnify us at first request from third-party claims arising from manufacturer’s liability and the ProdG in as far as the Contractor or one of its suppliers has caused the product defect which triggered liability.
h) The parties agree that product defects which are attributable to supplies or services rendered by the Contractor’s suppliers or subcontractors shall be regarded as defects in the product supplied by the Contractor.
i) As far as the Order concerns a delivery of goods, the Contractor shall maintain a product liability insurance policy with minimum cover of one (1) million Euro per loss occurrence without further limitation during the term of the contract. As far as the Order concerns the provision of a service, the Contractor shall maintain a financial loss liability insurance policy with minimum cover of one (1) million Euro per loss occurrence without further limitation during the term of the contract. In each case we are entitled to demand that the underwriter provide us with confirmation of this coverage.
10. Requirements for Pharmaceutical products, Health Care Products, Food Supplements and their components
a) To the extent that the Deliveries we order are required to manufacture pharmaceutical and/or healthcare products and/or food supplements, all pharmaceutical, health and other provisions under the Drugs Act for Germany and other countries — depending on the area of deployment as specified by us — shall be observed.
b) We shall be informed in writing and without delay of any alterations to the manufacturing process, which may affect quality, and/or relocation of the manufacturing site.
c) As far as possible each Delivery should originate from one batch. The Contractor’s batch number as well as our order and article numbers shall be marked clearly and permanently on each package and delivery note. If the Delivery comprises several batches of the same product then the respective numbers as mentioned above shall be stated on the packages and also on the respective delivery note.
d) As far as we have concluded a contract for the delimitation of responsibility with the Contractor, the latter shall take precedence over our Purchase Conditions.
11. Spare parts
For the delivery of machinery and equipment, the Contractor shall be obligated to supply us on request at short notice with operational, functional, and compatible spare parts for at least ten (10) years of the same or improved quality at market prices. The Contractor shall provide us with at least twelve (12) months’ notice if the production of spare parts is to be discontinued.
12. Withdrawal from the contract; indemnification; third-party rights
a) If the Contractor ceases to make payments or if insolvency proceedings are instituted on its assets or if a petition is filed for the institution of court or out-of-court composition proceedings, we may — at our discretion — rescind the contract either in whole or in part with respect to the portion of the Delivery not yet fulfilled or demand compensation in lieu of performance.
b) The Contractor guarantees that to its knowledge its Delivery and use thereof shall not infringe domestic or international patents, intellectual property rights or other third-party rights or breach statutory or official provisions of any kind whatsoever. The Contractor shall indemnify us from any such claims which third parties or our customers assert against us owing to or in connection with the Delivery and use thereof.
c) The Contractor shall ensure that there are no third-party rights regarding retention of title in the goods ordered.
d) Retention rights and set-off rights of the Contractor against us are excluded unless the Contractor derives these rights from recognized claims or claims which are final and absolute.
e) If the Contractor knows or if it must — under the circumstances — assume that we will be sending or using the Delivery abroad, it shall inform us without request whether we require a permit for export.
f) Claims against us may be assigned only with our written consent.
13. Provision of material/documents
a) Any parts, samples, drawings, standards, guidelines, methods of analysis, formulae or other documents which we provide to the Contractor for the purpose of producing the Delivery shall remain our property, shall be kept safely by the Contractor and may not be used by the Contractor for other purposes, reproduced, or made accessible to third parties. Any parts and documents which are handed over when the Order is placed shall be returned to us on request or at the latest on delivery together with all copies. We retain the property rights in all parts and documents which we make available to the Contractor.
b) If the parts which we supply are combined or mixed with other products, we shall acquire co-ownership in the new item pro rata as a ratio of the value of the parts and materials supplied by us to the items processed at the time of processing.
14. Confidentiality, data protection
a) The Contractor shall treat any documents or other information which it receives from us with the strictest confidentiality. The Contractor shall keep any documents received from us in a manner which prevents access by unauthorized persons.
b) The Contractor shall notify its staff, and any other persons entrusted with implementation of the contract having access to documents associated with the contract, about the confidentiality obligation in writing and oblige them to observe the confidentiality obligation.
c) The confidentiality obligation set out in a) and b) above shall apply for an unlimited period.
d) The confidentiality obligation set out in a) and b) above shall not apply to persons who are authorized and who are obliged under law or contract to observe confidentiality and/or in as far as the confidentiality obligation prevents them from pursuit of their own claims. Information and documents which are or which will be in the public domain shall not/no longer be subject to the confidentiality obligation provided that the Contractor is not responsible for such information or documents entering into the public domain. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to prove the existence of one of the above exceptions. (The Contractor shall be entitled to include our name in a reference list only if we give our written consent.
e) To the extent that personal data are required in rendering services due under the contract, the Contractor shall observe the applicable statutory data protection regulations, i.e., in particular, it shall ensure that the collection, processing, and use of personal data are lawful, and it shall submit its staff to appropriate confidentiality measures. The Contractor shall indemnify us against third-party claims which are attributable to the fact that collection, processing, or use of personal data as provided for under the contract were unlawful. The above indemnity clause shall also cover any costs of legal defence.
15. Workplace safety and environmental protection, energy use
a) Workplace safety, environmental protection, and the efficient usage of energy are material elements of our company’s mission. For this reason, the environmental balance of which the Delivery consists (energy use, energy consumption, energy efficiency) is partially integrated into our assessment of offers for deliveries which have or could have a fundamental effect on energy usage. The same applies mutatis mutandis to deliveries which have or could have a negative effect on the environment (conserving environmentally sensitive resources, and avoiding adverse environmental impacts).
b) The Contractor, upon making deliveries at our company premises, shall adhere to our rules and regulations for services.
c) For deliveries which have or could have a fundamental effect on energy use, the Contractor shall render these in the most energyefficient manner possible (energy use, energy consumption, energy efficiency).

16. Miscellaneous
a) Collateral agreements, additions, and amendments to the contract are binding only if we have confirmed them expressly in writing.
b) The exclusive venue for all disputes arising from this contract and the business relationship with us, including action filed with regard to checks and bills of exchange, shall be Uetersen; however, we may also file suit at the registered seat of the Contractor. This shall not apply to disputes with customers who are not businesspersons.
c) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding private international law and the application of the Hague Conventions relating to a uniform law and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods dated 11 April 1980.
d) If any provision of these conditions should be or become invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the other provisions. In such an event, the parties shall agree to a provision which, as far as possible, reflects the desired purpose of the invalid provision.
