conditions to the contrary provided by the orderer on the basis of any
documents whatsoever shall not apply.

initial sample being provided. We are entitled to make partial deliveries
and invoice these separately without special agreement.
2. Prices are ex works excluding
packaging unless any other delivery method has been expressly agreed. Prices
are calculated on the basis of today´s costs of materials and wages. If
these change substantially, the prices valid on the day of delivery will be
calculated. In the absence of agreement tot he contrary, packaging will not
be taken back by us. The costs of packaging are invoiced by us at the net
cost price. Where it has been agreed that the packaging can be sent back,
this must be totally free of charge for us. Credits for packaging can only

orderer is obliged to immediately compensate us for any fluctuations in rate
which occur to our disadvantage.

to accept payments. If payment deadlines are exceeded, we always charge

Bank. We also reserve the right to pass on all other resultant costs, such
as the imposition of higher bank charges etc. If there is an unfavourable
change in the financial position oft he buyer or if there are other reasons
which make it appear appropriate to depart from the usual terms and
conditions, then we are entitled to lay down new payment terms, request
security or withdraw from the order. Under the same circumstances and in
particular if the settlement of due items is not undertaken according to our
terms, all our claims shall fall due immediately even in the event of
deferment of payment. The retention of payments on account of any claims or
counterclaims by the buyer is excluded, as is offsetting. In the absence of
shipment instructions for goods which are ready for dispatch, these goods
will be charged and must then be paid as agreed. Goods of this kind will be
placed in storage at our choice either in our premises or in those of our
carriers on behalf of the orderer and at his risk and cost.

price has been paid in full including all incidental claims, in particular
costs of debt enforcement, agency expenses and bank charges, and in the case
of payment by bill of exchange or cheque until the equivalent value has been
received, and this also applies to our other claims from the entire business
relationship. In this context all supplies, count as a single contract, so
that the retention of ownership continues to apply as long as any invoices
or claims for costs or interest remain unsettled. The goods supplied may
neither be pledged nor assigned as security. The buyer must inform us
immediately of any attachments by third parties and must provide all the
help needed to safeguard all rights. The costs oft he intervention must be
borne bye the buyer. In the case of stoppage of payments, he must indicate
to us the inventory in hand. If our goods are combined with another object,
the buyer assigns his rights of ownership tot he mixed goods to us as of
now. If our goods are resold, the buyer´s claim on the third party shall
transfer to us when is arises, without this requiring a particular transfer
document. At our request the buyer must at any time send us a precise list
of the claims which have been transferred to us and inform his customers
that these have been assigned to us. We have the right to recover this claim
on our own behalf and use as much of the amount received as is needed to
cover the total claim which is still outstanding. Any excess amount of money
will be transferred to the buyer.

periods we specify are non-binding. Fixed deadlines prescribed by the buyer
are hereby expressly declined. Claims for compensation of any kind,
