§ 1      General, Scope of application

(1) All orders placed with us by an entrepreneur as defined in Section14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law shall be governed exclusively by the following General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery. Individual agreements concluded in individual cases with the Buyer (including side agreements, additions and amendments) shall have priority in all cases over these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery. Subject to proof to the contrary, a written contract or our written confirmation (a fax or email is sufficient) shall be authoritative with respect to the contents of such agreements. Our Terms and Conditions of Sale shall also apply to all future transactions with the Buyer, insofar as they are of a similar kind to the present transaction, without any further reference to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery being necessary.
