11.2 Transfer of risk in the event of a delay in acceptance
In the event of any delay in the above circumstances for which you are responsible, or insofar as you are in default of acceptance for other reasons, the risk shall pass to you with our notification of readiness to deliver.

The same shall apply if our ORIGINAL LAYHER products and other goods need to be collected from your customers.
12.7.2 To prevent unnecessary costs, you agree to this process and you explicitly consent to this procedure.

To comply with this period,it shall be sufficient if the notification is sent in time.
13.3 Burden of proof for notices of defect, reimbursement of expensesYou shall bear the full burden of proof for all circumstances which justify any claim. If a defect notice is incorrectly submitted, you shall reimburse all expenses incurred by us.
13.4 Remediation, subsequent delivery, late subsequent fulfilment

If the subsequent fulfilment fails, you shall be entitled at your own discretion to demand a price reduction or revoke the contract. In the event of minor defects, the remedies of revocation and refusal of acceptance or receipt shall not apply.
13.4.2 You shall have a right of revocation if we are unable to meet your claim to subsequent fulfilment by delivering defect-free replacement goods within four weeks. Over and above this right, you shall not be entitled to any further claims, not even for compensation for any damage or loss caused by the delay.
13.5 Use according to instructions, compliance with maintenance work and tests
Your claims are also on the assumption that our parts have been used according to the instructions by technically qualified personnel, that any prescribed or necessary maintenance work and tests have been carried out and that the technical regulations for scaffolding have been complied with or adhered to, including, without limitation, for erection, planning and all relevant technical, official or statutory requirements for the specific use.
13.6 Representations in sales literature
13.6.1 Our sales literature does not contain any quality descriptions nor any assured characteristics. Our confirmation of order shall be exclusively applicable. Insofar as we refer to approvals or certification, this means that our ORIGINAL LAYHER products and other goods meet the requirements for the respective approval or certification to the required extent and subject to the requirements stipulated by the approval or certification.
13.6.2 This does not mean that our ORIGINAL LAYHER products and other goods will meet the requirements of the specific use designated by you simply on the basis of the approval or certification.
13.6.3 Details provided about a certification or approval shall not release you from your duty as the user to inform yourself about all technical and statutory requirements for the structural design, structural stability, application or use. The applicability of a standard design, a scaffolding design proven by us, structural calculations or a type test shall be checked in each respective case.
13.6.4 Our ORIGINAL LAYHER products and other goods must always be used by you in compliance with the specific structural requirements, the local circumstances and the specific requirements of public authorities or the law.
13.6.5 The contents of our sales documents with technical product information refer exclusively to ORIGINAL LAYHER scaffolding components. We have compiled the contents, in particular the information, illustrations, data, calculations, notes and recommendations contained therein, with the greatest possible care. Nevertheless, we disclaim all liability for the correctness, completeness and up-to-dateness of the contents. Except in cases of wilful intent, liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law. This applies in particular to obvious errors, spelling mistakes, miscalculations and printing errors. The contents are used at the user's own risk. Unless otherwise stated in the tables and lists, the load values quoted in the sales documents (e.g. permissible loads, load classes, design resistances) are based on Layher’s in-house calculations. They have been prepared to the best of our knowledge and belief by qualified structural engineers. The scaffolding structures, detailed solutions and intended uses shown are only to be understood as non-binding examples. The user of the scaffolding components must make and document his own structural calculations for each scaffolding structure, taking into account the design, local conditions and local requirements.
13.7 Defective instructions for assembly and use
Any defective instructions for assembly and use shall be deemed to be only a minor and slight violation of our obligations. Here, you shall only be entitled to the delivery of defect-free operating instructions if the proper use of our parts would otherwise not be possible.
13.8 Legal consequences of a grossly negligent or wilful violation of obligations
You shall only be entitled to further claims if we have violated any obligation deliberately or by gross negligence. Any compensation claims for the violation of cardinal contractual obligations, if caused by slight negligence, shall be limited to the foreseeable damage that is typical in contracts of this type. We shall not be liable for slightly negligent violations of minor contractual obligations.
13.9 Expiry by limitation
Claims for material defects which are not based on a purchase of consumer goods shall expire by limitation one year after the collection, delivery, hand-over or notification of readiness for forwarding at the latest, unless we are open to allegations of fraud.
13.10 Limitations of liability and expiry by limitation
The above limitations of liability and expiry by limitation shall not apply to claims arising from product liability, the loss of life, physical injury or damage to health. This shall be without prejudice to the statutory limitations of liability.
13.11 Rights of recourse under Section 478 of the German Civil Code
Any rights of recourse of you as the purchaser against us at the supplier pursuant to Section 478 of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall only exist insofar as you have not made any agreements with your customer which go beyond the statutory claims for defects.
13.12 Used products
The contractually agreed condition of any used goods shall be the condition at the time of purchase. Any wear and tear in keeping with the duration of the use of such goods shall not constitute any violation of major contractual obligations. Otherwise, any warranty for material defects is excluded.
14. Binding written information
Any information provided by our staff by word of mouth shall be deemed to be voluntary services. Any statements made by our staff by word of mouth shall only be legally binding with our written confirmation.
15. Binding delivery periods, delivery dates
Our delivery periods and dates shall only be binding if we have confirmed them as binding in writing. We object to any fixed period or deadlines which you may stipulate.
15.1 Statement of delivery periods, delivery dates, scope of delivery
Our written confirmation of order shall be solely binding for the delivery periods, delivery dates and scope of delivery. Delivery periods or delivery dates stated by us shall otherwise be non-binding and shall represent the provisional date of dispatch or collection of the goods from our factory in Güglingen-Eibensbach.
15.2 Compliance with delivery periods, delivery dates
A delivery period or delivery date that has been confirmed in writing shall be deemed to have been complied with if we have notified you of the availability, completion or readiness for dispatch of the goods by the delivery date or the end of the delivery period, if the goods have left our factory or been handed over to the carrier, haulage contractor or any other party designated to carry out the dispatch in such a way that under normal circumstances the delivery can be expected to be in time.
15.3 Requirement for compliance with any periods or dates
Compliance with any periods or dates shall be subject to the following cumulative conditions: that you have provided all documents, any necessary approvals and releases and any plans in good time that you have made the agreed payments in time and in full and that you are not in arrears with any payments. If this is not the case, the periods or dates shall be extended in accordance with the delay for which you are responsible.
15.4 Extension of any periods in the event of force majeure
If we are unable to comply with any periods or dates because of force majeure, e.g. strike or lockout, the contractual periods or dates shall be appropriately extended.
16. Right of revocation in the event of any protest against cheques or bills of exchange, cessation of payments, negative information
We shall be entitled to revoke the contract if we learn of any protest against cheques or bills of exchange, any cessation of payments or any negative information about you.
16.1 Lump sum compensation claim
If we revoke the contract for these reasons, we shall be entitled to a lump sum compen-sation of 20% of the net order value. You shall be entitled to prove to us that we have not incurred any such loss, or that any loss incurred was less than this amount. You shall not be entitled to claim any other rights.
16.2 Options in the event of technical or material procurement difficulties for which we are not responsible
In the event of unforeseeable technical or material procurement difficulties for which we are not responsible, we shall be entitled to revoke the contract. In this case, there shall be no other unilateral or mutual claims.
17. Copyright, rights of disposal and exploitation, transmission of documents and data to third parties
17.1 We reserve without limitation all rights to all documents and all information which we have given to you, including, without limitation, offers, cost estimates, technical drawings, all illustrations and plans, especially our rights of disposal and exploitation under property and copyright law.
17.2 All documents and data belonging to us may only be made accessible or handed over to third parties, copied, duplicated or transferred to a data medium in whole, in part or in extracts with our prior written consent.
18. Significance of illustrative or drawn representations, details of the structural design, structural stability, designated use or purpose
18.1 Any illustrative or drawn representations of the possible or actual use of our parts are only by way of example and serve only to illustrate the possible applications. They shall not constitute any legally binding assurance in relation to their type or their possible or permissible application or use.
18.2 Any details or representations of the structural design, erection, planning, securing, structural stability, designated use or application shall only be regarded as examples, and are therefore non-binding. Any such details or representations shall not release you from your duty as the user to inform yourself about all technical and statutory requirements for the structural design, erection, planning, securing, structural stability or the designated application or use.
18.3 Our ORIGINAL LAYHER products and other goods must always be used by you in compliance with the specific structural requirements, the local circumstances and the specific requirements of public authorities or the law.
18.4 You shall be obliged to comply with and adhere to all relevant technical, public authority or statutory requirements for the specific application.
18.5 We explicitly point out that you alone, as the user of our ORIGINAL LAYHER products and other goods, are responsible for the safe erection, modification, dismantling and stability of the products, the type, selection, implementation and testing of the fixing materials, compliance with the relevant DIN or EN standards, the technical regulations for scaffolding, the generally accepted engineering principles for the planning, erection and implementation of scaffolding, and for compliance with all public authority regulations and statutory provisions, including without limitation all provisions imposed by the building inspectorate or under building law, the regulations for safety in the workplace, giving special attention to the accident prevention regulations.
18.6 In addition, you as the user of the ORIGINAL LAYHER products and other goods shall be responsible for using them for the designated purpose and ensuring the operational safety of the scaffolding, proper marking and identification and for testing.
18.7 If any scaffolding is erected in deviation from the normal configuration, you shall be responsible for ensuring that structural stability is documented or certified according to the necessary extent, e.g. by providing execution plans for the individual case, supplemented by your assessment according to professional experience.
18.8 This shall also be supplemented by the details provided in our instructions for assembly and use.
19. Mixed use of ORIGINAL LAYHER products
19.1 All details or representations in our product brochures shall only apply to the exclusive use of ORIGINAL LAYHER products. Our products are designed, produced and configured in their functions exclusively for use with other Layher products. ORIGINAL LAYHER products differ in their structural design, material and production processes from the products of other manufacturers or imitation products.
19.2 We are unable to make any statement concerning any use of LAYHER products in other systems or mixed with other products. This shall also apply to any use of copies of ORIGINAL LAYHER products.
19.3 We therefore accept no liability if our ORIGINAL LAYHER products are used mixed with other products. In this respect, you shall indemnify us against all claims by any third parties.
19.4 Insofar as we make any statements with regard to product features, possible applications, structural design details, erection variants, anchoring options, application techniques, technical data or compliance with statutory regulations or standards, in each case these statements shall only apply to ORIGINAL LAYHER products or their exclusive use.
20. Technical modifications
Changes due to technical progress may be made at any time.
21. Place of performance
The place of performance shall be either our registered place of business in Güglingen-Eibensbach or one of our delivery warehouses, at our discretion.
22. Sole place of jurisdiction
If the parties are registered business enterprises, legal entities under public law or special funds under public law, the sole place of jurisdiction, including any court action related to bills of exchange, cheques and summary proceedings and irrespective of the dispute value, shall be the Local Court (Amtsgericht) of Brackenheim, which is responsible as the factual and local court of first instance for our registered place of business. The same shall also apply if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction within Germany or if you have moved your place of residence or customary place of abode out of Germany after the conclusion of the contract, or if your place of residence or customary place of abode is not known at the time when court action is filed.
23. No UN commercial law
The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively, or shall take priority. UN commercial law shall not apply.

General Terms of Delivery and Payment, No. 11, 11.1 and 11.2 shall apply accordingly, and collection shall be deemed to be the same as handover.

5. Warranty

You shall be entitled to reduce the rental price if two attempts at repairing the defects or supplying replacement goods fail.

7.2 Return delivery note, manner of return
You undertake to return all rented ORIGINAL LAYHER products and other goods with a delivery note quoting our delivery data. You shall return the rented goods in such a way that they can be unloaded by us with a fork-lift truck without any extra work and expense and transported on the company premises.

You shall be entitled to prove to us that we have not incurred any such extra expense, or that any extra expense was less than the amount charged by us.
7.3 Deterioration, deviations from the condition when delivered
Any deterioration of the rented goods at the end of the rental period, or any deviation from the condition when delivered, shall be at your expense unless they are due to the designated use or would have occurred through the designated use. You shall bear any costs of cleaning or repair. Insofar as we consider that parts cannot be repaired or the repair cost exceeds the net list price, we shall be entitled to refuse to accept the return of damaged rented goods, and instead to demand compensation for the amount of the net list price. You shall be entitled to prove to us that we have not incurred any such loss, or that any loss was less than the amount charged. This shall also apply if you have made technical changes to the rented goods.
7.4 Rented goods which no longer exist or are defective
If any rented goods no longer exist at the time when they are to be returned or taken back, or if they are defective as defined in No. 7.3, we shall invoice you for these goods at the respective net list price.

The right to claim compensation for further damage or loss is reserved.
7.7.2 Any continued use of the rented goods shall not lead to an extension of the rental contract. We herewith object in advance to any implicit extension of the rental contract. For the duration of any continued use, the valid rental price shall be charged as compensation for use. This stipulation of compensation for use is customary in the location and reasonable.
8. Premature termination
If you fail to comply with major obligations or do not do so in time or in full, we shall be entitled to terminate the contract without notice. Without prejudice to any further claims, you shall remain obliged to pay the rental price for the remaining term of the rental contract or until the next possible termination date.
9. Purchase
If you decide to purchase the rented goods when the rental contract ends, you shall be granted a discount on the purchase price in keeping with customary market practices. The obligations arising from the rental contract shall remain in force until the amount due to take over the goods has been paid in full.
