1) The agreed prices are fixed prices and include the statutory value added tax, unless otherwise agreed. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, fees, costs for packaging, freight and transport to the recipient address specified by ttp are included. The obligation to return the packaging requires special agreement.

2) An increase or decrease in price as a result of changes in execution must be communicated to ttp in writing without delay, whereby the agreement of an increase or decrease in price requires the written consent of ttp prior to delivery of the goods or performance of the service.

3) Partial deliveries are only permitted with prior written consent. Unless otherwise agreed, over- and under-deliveries are only permitted within a limit of 5% of the quantity of the individual order.

4) Shipments, for which freight-free delivery is not agreed, are always to be shipped by the cheapest way. All additional costs arising from non-observance of these regulations as well as costs for cartage etc. at the place of dispatch do not have to be paid by ttp.

6) Shipping is at the expense and risk of the supplier. The risk is transferred to ttp after completion of the unloading process with acceptance of the delivery by ttp or at the agreed destination. This also applies if the supplier hands over the goods to a forwarding agent or a carrier. If ttp accepts the goods from the supplier and the goods remain with the supplier after acceptance by ttp, the supplier bears the risk of accidental deterioration or accidental loss of the goods until the goods have reached their destination and have been unloaded there.

IV. Delivery time
1) The agreed delivery dates are binding and are always understood without grace period. The receipt of the goods at the place of use named by ttp or the timeliness of the acceptance is decisive for the compliance with the delivery date or the delivery period. The acceptance of a delayed delivery or service by ttp does not include a waiver of claims for compensation. If the delivery time is exceeded, the supplier is in default without a reminder.

2) Events of force majeure, strike, lockout, operational disruptions, as well as other unforeseeable events which cannot be overcome by reasonable efforts and which make it significantly more difficult for ttp to accept and/or process the ordered goods, in particular stagnation of sales, shall give ttp the right to postpone the acceptance deadlines or - provided that the hindrance is not only temporary and ttp is not responsible for it - to withdraw from the contract, without the supplier being entitled to claim damages. ttp shall notify the suppliers of the necessary information without delay.

3) In case of exceeding the delivery time, the contractual penalty in the amount of 0.5% of the order value for each commenced week of culpable exceeding, but not more than a total of 5 % of the order value, shall be deemed agreed. This contractual penalty can also only be asserted in the context of the final payment without the need for a reservation upon acceptance. The assertion of further rights by ttp remains unaffected.

4) The supplier has to inform ttp - without prejudice to the legal or above agreed rights of ttp - immediately in writing about any circumstances that lead to exceeding the agreed delivery or performance time.  

V. Invoice and payment

1) The place of performance for payments is the location of ttp's registered office.

2) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the term of payment shall be 60 days net after receipt of the invoice stating the ttp order number and complete receipt of the goods or complete performance.

3) Any payment is made subject to ttp's rights due to any defects. A payment does not imply recognition, fulfillment, or waiver of warranty claims, this also applies with regard to the receipt on the occasion of the acceptance of goods. ttp is entitled to withhold payment in whole or in part until defects have been remedied or other counterclaims from the entire business relationship have been fulfilled. 

4) ttp is entitled to offset claims of the supplier also against claims of companies affiliated with ttp. The supplier may only offset or exercise rights of retention due to its own claims if its counterclaims are legally established, undisputed or recognized by ttp in writing. 

5) Unless an official weighing has already been carried out at the place of dispatch, the weight determined by ttp shall be decisive for invoices by weight.  

6) If national or international foreign trade regulations, embargoes or other sanctions are in conflict, ttp will not pay and ttp is not obligated to fulfill the contract for the rest.

VI Warranty and Guarantee

1) The supplier has to carry out a factory inspection of the products to be delivered by him, especially an outgoing goods inspection. The supplier undertakes to make records of the inspections carried out and to archive inspection, measurement and control results for 10 years. ttp is entitled to inspect the aforementioned records and documents and to make copies thereof.

2) Unless otherwise agreed, incoming goods inspections at ttp are only carried out as an identification and quantity check and for externally visible transport and packaging damage. In all cases, even if the delivery has previously become the property of ttp or has been handed over to the forwarder, carrier or other agent of ttp, the obligation to inspect the goods and to give notice of obvious defects or quality deviations does not begin until the proper notice of dispatch has been given and the goods have been received at the receiving point named by ttp. ttp is only obliged to open the packaging and to inspect the goods on a random basis. All defects that are not recognizable due to the packaging or that cannot be detected during random inspection are considered hidden defects. The period for giving notice of defects shall be 10 working days from receipt of the goods at the receiving point named by us in the case of visible defects and 10 working days from discovery in the case of hidden defects. For compliance with this deadline, the dispatch of the notice of defects by ttp is decisive. 

3) The Supplier shall provide warranty for its deliveries and services in accordance with the statutory provisions. The warranty period in the event of material defects or defects of title shall be 36 months from delivery in the case of deliveries of goods. In the case of an item which has been used for a building in accordance with its customary use and has caused its defectiveness, the warranty period shall be 5 ½ years from delivery. The 5 ½ - year warranty period applies equally in the case of delivery of merchandise and products for surface finishing.

4) Defects that lead to the refusal of acceptance, as well as all defects detected at the time of the transfer of risk or occurring during the warranty period, shall be remedied by the supplier at ttp's discretion and at the supplier's expense, or the supplier shall make a new delivery or performance free of defects.

5) If the supplier fails to remedy the defect or to deliver a new product or service within a reasonable period of time to be set by ttp, ttp may,

- demand the reduction of the price,
- withdraw from the contract in whole or in part,
- carry out rectification or new delivery itself at the Supplier's expense or 
have carried out and/or
- claim damages for breach of duty.

6) The foregoing shall apply equally if the Supplier declares itself unable to remedy the defect, make a new delivery or provide a new service within a reasonable period of time, whereby no prior extension of time is required to exercise the aforementioned rights, if the Supplier refuses to perform, if ttp cannot reasonably be expected to provide subsequent performance or if special circumstances exist which, after weighing the interests of both parties, justify the immediate assertion of the aforementioned rights.

7) Further legal claims remain unaffected by this.

8) The Supplier shall bear the costs and the risk of returning defective delivery items.

9) The supplier shall indemnify ttp from claims for damages of third parties due to personal injury and property damage, which are based on a defect of the product caused in his sphere of control and organization and for which he himself is liable in the external relationship. If recall or service actions are carried out due to problems with delivery items of the supplier, the supplier shall bear all costs necessarily incurred due to the recall or service actions, insofar as the problems are his responsibility. This also applies to costs that are charged to ttp by the customer. ttp will inform the supplier about the content and scope of the recall measures carried out - as far as possible and reasonable - and give him the opportunity to comment.

10) In urgent cases, ttp is entitled to repair defects in the delivery item or have them repaired at the supplier's expense or to procure a replacement from a third party without having to inform the supplier of the defect and the manner of its repair in advance or to set a grace period. Such a case shall be deemed to exist if, due to particular urgency, it is no longer possible to notify the Supplier of the defect and the impending damage and to set a reasonable period of time for the Supplier to remedy the defect itself. The scope of the supplier's obligation to provide compensation shall be limited to what is reasonable.

11) The supplier shall insure the product risk beyond the scope of its normal business liability insurance to cover the possible product liability risk and shall provide evidence of the corresponding insurance policies upon request.

12) The Supplier is not entitled to change the delivery item after conclusion of the contract or during the delivery period.
In particular, for the purchase of raw materials, production materials and technical components for resale, the supplier may not change the material specification of the delivery item, the production process, the production location, the machines and tools used, or the input material specification-supplier combination used without prior written approval by ttp. If the supplier wants to change the delivery item, he must notify ttp and present the changes at the earliest possible time. The concrete implementation of such deviations is only permissible after our written approval, whereby ttp is not obligated to issue a declaration of approval. 

If the supplier changes the delivery item on his own authority or if the supplier culpably does not comply with the above-mentioned obligations, ttp is entitled to extraordinary termination of the supply relationship including current order(s) and the supplier shall be liable for all costs incurred by us or third parties, e.g. in the form of replacement deliveries, subsequent examinations or treatments, expert reports, etc.

13) The supplier assumes a dependent durability guarantee for his deliveries and services of 3 years from the transfer of risk to the effect that his deliveries and services during the term of the guarantee will be

- are free from defects of any kind,
- are fully suitable for the intended or agreed purpose, and
- have the contractually agreed or warranted characteristics.

ttp has the right to supplementary performance in case of warranty. In the event that the supplier has provided or offered a longer or more extensive warranty, this warranty provided or offered by the supplier shall apply, whereby the statutory rights for defects shall remain unaffected.

Any loss of the aforementioned documents must be reported to ttp immediately in any case.

Furthermore, he is obliged to carry out any necessary maintenance and inspection work in good time at his own expense or to have it carried out professionally. He shall notify us immediately of any malfunctions. If he fails to do so, we expressly reserve the right to claim damages resulting therefrom. If the tool is owned by ttp and if tool work that goes beyond the normal scope of maintenance and inspection work is necessary in order to maintain the quality and tolerances required by ttp, then ttp shall bear the costs of this only if ttp has agreed to this tool work and the associated costs in writing or has commissioned this in writing.
