(4) The delivery period is usually seven (7) working days, unless otherwise agreed. It begins with the conclusion of the contract.

This also includes the missing, quantitatively or qualitatively incorrect or untimely delivery by a pre-supplier of HACOFIX if HACOFIX is not responsible for this and at the time of the conclusion of the contract with the buyer concluded a congruent hedging transaction with the pre-supplier would have. This also applies if HACOFIX concludes the cover transaction immediately after the transaction with the buyer.

HACOFIX is entitled to withdraw from the contract if the goods cannot be delivered by the expected new delivery date (§ 4 Para. (6)). The buyer is entitled to withdraw from the contract if the new delivery date is more than one month after the original delivery date. Claims for damages do not exist in each case.
(9) If the ordered product is not available because we are not supplied with this product by our suppliers through no fault of our own, we can withdraw from the contract. In this case, we will inform you immediately and, if necessary, suggest the delivery of a comparable product. If no comparable product is available or you do not want a comparable product to be delivered, we will immediately refund any consideration already paid.

(2) The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged to third parties or assigned as security before the secured claims have been paid in full. The buyer must inform HACOFIX immediately in writing if an application is made to open insolvency proceedings or if third parties seize the goods owned by HACOFIX (e.g. attachments).
(3) If the buyer behaves in breach of contract, in particular if the purchase price due is not paid, HACOFIX is entitled to withdraw from the contract in accordance with the statutory provisions and/or to demand the return of the goods on the basis of the retention of title. The demand for return does not include a declaration of withdrawal; Rather, HACOFIX is entitled to demand return of the goods and to reserve the right to withdraw from the contract. If the buyer does not pay the purchase price due, HACOFIX may only assert these rights if it has previously unsuccessfully set the buyer a reasonable deadline for payment or setting such a deadline is unnecessary according to the statutory provisions.
(4) The buyer is authorized until revoked in accordance with the following letter (c) to resell and/or process the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. In this case, the following additional provisions apply:
(a) The retention of title extends to the products created by processing, mixing or combining the goods of HACOFIX at their full value, whereby HACOFIX is considered the manufacturer. If third-party property rights remain in the processing, mixing or connection with goods, HACOFIX acquires co-ownership in proportion to the invoice value of the processed, mixed or connected goods. Otherwise, the same applies to the resulting product as to the goods delivered under retention of title.
(b) The buyer hereby assigns the claims against third parties arising from the resale of the goods or the product to HACOFIX in total or in the amount of any co-ownership share in accordance with the above paragraph as security. HACOFIX accepts the assignment. The obligations of the buyer mentioned in paragraph (2) also apply with regard to the assigned claims.
(c) In addition to HACOFIX, the buyer remains authorized to collect the claim. HACOFIX undertakes not to collect the claim as long as the buyer meets his payment obligations, there is no deficiency in his ability to pay and HACOFIX does not assert the retention of title by exercising a right according to § 7 paragraph (3). If this is the case, however, HACOFIX can demand that the buyer informs it of the assigned claims and their debtors, provides all the information required for collection, hands over the associated documents and the debtors (third parties) the assignment. In this case, HACOFIX is also entitled to revoke the buyer's authority to further sell and process the goods subject to retention of title.
(d) If the realizable value of the securities exceeds HACOFIX's claims by more than 10%, HACOFIX will release securities of its choice at the request of the buyer
(5) The buyer is obliged to treat the goods purchased under retention of title with care for the duration of the retention of title and to secure them against third-party interference. He must insure the goods for the duration of the retention of title against fire, theft and water damage at replacement value and provide HACOFIX with proof of this upon request. In the event of a breach of these obligations, HACOFIX is entitled to take out appropriate insurance itself at the expense of the buyer. The buyer assigns claims for compensation to HACOFIX.
§7 Warranty; guarantees
(1) HACOFIX is liable to the buyer according to the following provisions:
a) The buyer's warranty rights presuppose that he has duly complied with his obligation to examine and give notice of defects in accordance with § 377 HGB. The aforementioned obligation is satisfied if the buyer notifies HACOFIX of obvious defects within seven (7) days of receipt of the goods or, in the case of hidden defects, seven (7) days of their discovery. The assertion of warranty claims is excluded in the event of a breach of the obligation to examine and give notice of defects.
b) The goods are in accordance with the contract if they do not deviate or only slightly deviate from the owed quality at the time of the transfer of risk. HACOFIX is not liable for deterioration, loss or improper handling of the goods after the risk has passed.
c) In the case of justified complaints, HACOFIX is entitled to choose between supplementary performance by eliminating the defect (repair) or delivering new goods (new delivery). If HACOFIX is not willing or able to provide supplementary performance or if this is delayed beyond a reasonable period of time for reasons for which HACOFIX is responsible, or if the supplementary performance fails in any other way, the buyer is fundamentally entitled, at his own discretion, to reduce the price compensation (reduction), rescission of the contract (withdrawal) or compensation for damages instead of performance. HACOFIX is entitled to make repeated attempts to rectify the defect, unless this cannot be reasonably expected of the buyer.
§8 Liability
(1) HACOFIX is liable to the buyer in all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability in the event of intent and gross negligence in accordance with the statutory provisions for damages or reimbursement of futile expenses.
(2) In other cases, HACOFIX is only liable - unless otherwise regulated in § 9 paragraph (3) - in the event of a breach of a contractual obligation, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the buyer can regularly rely (so-called cardinal obligation), limited to compensation for foreseeable and typical damage. In all other cases, the liability of HACOFIX is excluded, subject to the regulation in § 9 paragraph (3).
(3) HACOFIX's liability for damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health and under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected by the above limitations and exclusions of liability.
§ 9 Copyrights
HACOFIX owns the copyright to all images, films and texts published on the customer platform. Images, films and texts may not be used without the express consent of HACOFIX.
Section 10 Customs; Foreign legal systems​
(1) If the buyer orders goods from HACOFIX for delivery outside the EU, these may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package of goods reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the buyer; HACOFIX has no influence on these fees. Customs regulations vary greatly from country to country, so buyers should contact their local customs office for more information.
(2) It should also be noted that when ordering from HACOFIX, the buyer based abroad is considered the importer and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which he receives the goods.
Section 11 Applicable Law; place of jurisdiction; dispute resolution
(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to these GTC and the contractual relationship between HACOFIX and the buyer, excluding uniform international law, in particular the UN Sales Convention.
(2) If the buyer is a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code or a legal entity, the exclusive – also international – place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising directly or indirectly from the contractual relationship is the registered office of HACOFIX, Bremen. The same applies if the buyer is an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB. In all cases, however, HACOFIX is also entitled to bring an action at the place of fulfillment of the delivery obligation in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions or a prior individual agreement or at the buyer's general place of jurisdiction. Overriding legal regulations, in particular regarding exclusive responsibilities, remain unaffected.
