In case of confirmation of shipment by e-mail the contract shall be concluded by sending the e-mail, by no later however than with the delivery of the goods to the customer. Our offers, in line with the order data handed over to us, are, insofar as not otherwise stipulated, binding for 10 workdays and beyond this without obligation.
Incomplete or dubious details in the purchase order/in the order, which lead to false deliveries, shall be for the account of the customer. Decisive for all deliveries is the article number of our company. All subsequent changes at the initiation of the customer will be charged to it.
Changes to and cancellations of orders for goods, which are already in production or being served, are not possible. Diagrams, dimensions and weight details in information and advertising documents are non-binding. The right is reserved to printing errors, mistakes and changes, in particular technical changes for improving the product.
Prices
All prices in our online store are subject to change and are generally quoted ex place of dispatch plus packaging and transportation costs, including statutory VAT. If you are not a commercial customer, but an end consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB, the gross price (net price plus VAT) applies.Delivery times
All goods are manufactured and made available as quickly as possible. Information on delivery times is to be understood as estimated delivery times. Claims for damages due to non-fulfillment or late delivery are excluded. The customer may not reject partial deliveries.Shipment and passing of risk
With commercial customers the risk shall pass to the customer when the goods are handed over to the carrier or freight forwarder, by no later however than when they leave our shipping locations. With the delivery to end consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB the risk shall pass at the time when the goods are handed over or with the delivery to the customer. Dispatch route and packaging are left to our choice without liability being assumed for this, except for the case of wilful intent and gross negligence. Express costs or special wishes (rail express, express package) among others shall be at the expense of the buyer.Eigentumsrecht
Current account/balance clause:Prevact GmbH reserves the property to the goods until all claims of the seller against the buyer from the business relationship have been settled. This shall also apply if individual or all claims of Prevact GmbH were included in a current account and the balance has been drawn and recognised. Prevact GmbH undertakes to insofar release the collateral to which it is entitled at the customer’s request to the extent that the realisable value of the collateral exceed the claims which are to be secured by more than 10%; the selection of the collateral items which are to be released shall be the responsibility of Prevact GmbH.
The seller of the reservation also reserves the right, in the event of the improper satisfaction of service obligations, to exercise its statutory right to cancellation after the setting of a reasonable deadline. The same shall also apply with the breach of secondary obligations, in particular through improper handling of the object of purchase by the buyer, if an adherence to the contract is deemed unreasonable for the seller.
Extended reservation of title in case of resale:
In the event of a resale of the reserved goods by the buyer it shall hereby now already assign all claims to the seller, to which it is entitled from this act. Such an assignment is carried out both with the sale of non-processed reserved goods, as well as in the event that there is a processing or connection with objects which are exclusively the property of the buyer. If the reserved goods are sold after processing or connection together with goods, which are not the property of Prevact GmbH, the buyer hereby now already assigns the claims incurred from the resale in the amount of the value of the reserved goods with all secondary rights and in rank before the residual claims. The buyer is also authorized to collect the claims after the assignment. The authorization of Prevact GmbH to collect the claims itself, remains unaffected hereby, however it undertakes not to exercise its right as long as the buyer properly satisfies its contractual duties. Prevact GmbH can request that the buyer notifies it of the assigned claims and their debtors, provides it all information which is necessary for the collection, hands over the relevant documents and informs the debtors of the assignment.Check/bill of exchange clause:
If a liability of Prevact GmbH is established with regard to the bills of exchange in connection with the payment of the purchase price by the buyer then the reservation of title and the claim from the goods delivery, upon which this is based, shall not lapse before the bill of exchange is redeemed by Prevact GmbH as beneficiary.Printed products
Sketches, blueprints, sample set, sample print, samples and similar preliminary work by order of the customer will be charged. The customer has to inspect that the preliminary and interim products, which are sent for correction, are in accordance with the contract. The risk of possible faults shall pass to it with the release for printing by the customer insofar as the faults are not caused by technical defects of the production. This shall also apply to other releases of the customer for the further production. In case of coloured reproductions in all printing processes slight deviations from the original cannot be complained about. Surplus or shortfall in deliveries up to 10% of the ordered circulation cannot be complained about. The delivered quantity will be charged. We do not assume any liability for print templates, which are lost during shipment. Delivered print templates will be adjusted to the printing format which is available.

The end consumer may give notice of defects within the statutory warranty period. Minor customary or technically unavoidable deviations in quality, color, weight, etc. do not justify a notice of defects.

The buyer may demand the rescission of the contract if the repair or replacement delivery fails and in the event that the seller wrongfully refuses to remedy the defect or deliver a replacement or is in default and the buyer has set him a reasonable grace period, which has expired fruitlessly. Our liability extends to our products being free of defects in accordance with the state of the art.Our liability is excluded:
1. if our products are not stored, installed, put into operation or used properly by the customer or third parties
(vehicles are designed for the road and not for other terrain),

3. improper maintenance,
4. if unsuitable operating materials are used,
5. in the event of damage caused by repairs or other work by third parties not expressly authorized by us,

Damages
The claims of the customer are oriented to the general statutory regulations, insofar as not explicitly otherwise agreed.The provider shall be liable to an unlimited extent for damages from the injury to life, the body or the health, insofar as it has not maliciously failed to disclose a defect or has assumed a guarantee for the condition of the object of purchase, in all cases of wilful intent and gross negligence, with damages according to the Product Liability Act or insofar as otherwise stipulated as mandatory by law.

With consumers this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted hereby is not revoked by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer’s customary place of stay (benefit of the doubt principle).(2) The place of performance for all services from the business relationships existing with the provider as well as the place of jurisdiction is the registered seat of the provider insofar as the customer is not a consumer, but a merchant, legal entity under public law or special assets under public law.
