Retention of title

Regarding the Buyer's receivables from his sale of our retention-including goods, including all ancillary rights, the Buyer then proceeds in full towards us, regardless of whether the sale occurred to one or more buyers. When incorporating our tools into higher units (machines), we automatically acquire co-ownership rights to these machines. The delivery of our goods to the pledge or the transfer of ownership of the goods to another entity to be liable for the fulfillment of the claim of this entity is not permissible without our consent prior to the full payment of the goods.

Claims for defects must be reported to us immediately upon receipt of the goods, in writing, by fax or by e-mail. We will not take into account any claims we receive after 8 days from receipt of the goods and later. The claimed goods must be sent to us for consideration post free. For justified claims, we reserve the right, after prior return of the goods, to deliver a free replacement for the claimed goods, but we refuse any further claims.
