They are recognized as binding with the conclusion of contract, latest with the acceptance of goods or services. Any conflicting terms and conditions of the seller are explicitly excluded. Any subsidiary agreements, changes or supplements to the contract shall only be valid if confirmed in writing. Reconfirmations of the seller having regard to the seller’s business or purchasing terms and conditions are hereby refuted.

§2 Contract conclusion

Any offers included in brochures, advertisements etc. remain non-binding, also in terms of pricing. The designations and specifications at the time of contract conclusion represent the technical status at that time. The seller explicitly reserves the right to structural changes for deliveries within the framework of this contract, as long as such changes are not fundamental and do not significantly restrict the contractual purpose. Purchase contracts with a value of up to 2.000 Euro are concluded with the order of the customer, as long as AKKU SYS Akkumulator- und Batterietechnik Austria GmbH does not object immediately. Higher order values require an order confirmation by AKKU SYS Akkumulator- und Batterietechnik Austria GmbH to conclude the contract.

§3 Pricing, terms of payment

The agreed prices shall apply for purchase contracts. All prices are excl. applicable VAT and shipping costs, unless agreed differently in writing. Invoices are due immediately and to be paid net and without deductions.

§4 Delivery times

Any specified delivery times are non-binding. Where the seller is in default, the purchaser may withdraw from the contract as per the following conditions or demand compensation due to failure of performance. The grace period to be set by the seller is 2 weeks which begins with the seller being informed of such a grace period. The purchaser may only demand compensation for failure of performance if the seller has caused the damages with intent or gross negligence. The delivery period shall extend by the period required for the seller to hand over all the information and documentation necessary for contract performance. In case of an incorrect address or if the packages cannot be delivered, the delivery period is automatically extended. The purchaser shall bear the costs for providing an incorrect address.

§5 Warranty and liability

The warranty for the services and supplies provided by us are initially restricted to the right to rectification or a replacement delivery.

This is only possible after the second failed attempt. In case of maloperation and improper use of the goods, the customer shall bear the costs of the rectification and/or of the repair. Incidentally, the warranty shall follow applicable legal regulations. The legal warranty term is 2 years and begins with the delivery of the purchased goods. Additional warranty claims towards the manufacturer of the delivered goods may exist where the manufacturer has issued a warranty promise for the product. The scope is determined by the content of the warranty promise issued by the manufacturer. In this respect, we would like to mention that the warranty conditions of the manufacturer may deviate from the applicable warranty conditions depending on the country of delivery to the consumer.
