period of time granted by the purchaser, the purchaser has the option – in its
sole discretion – to either rescind the agreement or reduce the purchase price. No time
limit must be set unless required by law.
(4) Any additional claims by the purchaser, in particular to damages instead of
per- formance and to replacement of another direct or indirect damage, including

or assumed a guarantee for their absence or for the condition of the goods;

one of its legal representatives or vicarious agents or to a negligent violation of

vicarious agents led to a bodily injury or an injury to health;
d) the product liability law is applicable.

Duellberg Konzentra.

or in part from a third party, Duellberg Konzentra is entitled to assign its rights concerning material
defects vis-à-vis the subcontractor to the purchaser and inform the purchaser of its
option to assert claims against the subcontractor in and out of court. In this
case, claims against Duellberg Konzentra for the defectiveness of the item can only be asserted in
case the claims against the subcontractor are not enforceable despite an assertion of

unreasonable in individual cases.
(2) This shall not apply to claims for damages according
to section 4 (4).

§ 6 Statute of Limitations

become statute-barred after 12 months, insofar as this is legally admissible.

resulting from the resale of the goods subject to retention of title. Duellberg Konzentra accepts such
assignment. The purchaser shall be entitled to collect the assigned sum due as long
as it fulfills its own payment obligations. In case of any delay in payment on the part of
the purchaser, Duellberg Konzentra shall be entitled to withdraw such collection authorization. In
such a case, the purchaser shall be obliged, upon Duellberg Konzentra’s request, to
provide Duellberg Konzentra with all the information necessary for collection and to allow a
Duellberg Konzentra
representative to verify the valid existence of the assigned claim based on the purchaser’s
accounting documents and the purchaser shall be obliged to inform its
debtors of such assignment.
(4) If Duellberg Konzentra’s title to the goods extinguishes due to the goods being
mixed or blended with other goods or due to being processed and the purchaser
becomes the owner of the delivered item, then the purchaser hereby assigns as security to
Duellberg Konzentra in advance a pro rata co-owner’s share in the value of the new item
being produced. Duellberg Konzentra hereby accepts such assignment. Physical transfer
shall be replaced by gratuitous deposit.
(5) The purchaser must inform Duellberg Konzentra immediately of any third party claims
to Duellberg Konzentra’s property and, upon agreement with Duellberg Konzentra, the purchaser shall be
obliged to take appropriate legal steps against such claims at its own expense.
(6) In case of any delay in payment on the part of the purchaser or if an application to
subject the purchaser’s assets to insolvency proceedings has been filed or in case of
an assignment of the contingent rights to third parties or if the purchaser’s business is
transferred to a third party, Duellberg Konzentra shall be entitled to take back the delivered goods
and in order to do so, Duellberg Konzentra shall be entitled to enter the purchaser’s
premises within regular business hours. Duellberg Konzentra shall then be entitled to freely dispose of such goods subject to a
retention of title. Any proceeds from such disposal must be set off against the
purchaser’s debts (less reasonable expenses for such disposal) and any balance must be disbursed to the purchaser.
(7) Upon the purchaser’s request, Duellberg Konzentra undertakes to release any collateral
securities to the extent the value of these collateral securities exceeds the value of the

percent. Duellberg Konzentra shall be entitled to freely select the collateral securities to be so
released.

§ 8 Packaging

Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, the packaging shall be
non- returnable packaging. If the parties agreed on using returnable packaging,
such packaging must be returned free of charge in good, serviceable, clean and

shall be extended accordingly. However, this shall not apply if Duellberg Konzentra is responsible
for such delay.
(4) In addition, Duellberg Konzentra’s compliance with agreed upon delivery periods and
dates shall be subject to a delivery in due time by its own subcontractors. Should
Duellberg Konzentra, due to any delay in delivery by one of its subcontractors, not be able to
