These terms also apply to all future legal transactions, even if they are not expressly agreed upon again, in particular to future deliveries of replacement parts. Any terms and conditions of the purchaser that conflict with or deviate from these General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall not apply and will not be recognized by GG\/ASKI, unless they are expressly confirmed in writing by GG\/ASKI. Actions taken by GG\/ASKI to fulfill the contract shall not be deemed consent to contractual terms that deviate from these conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>II. <\/strong><strong>Scope of Delivery and Services<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The scope of delivery and services includes only those deliveries and services expressly listed in the offer\/contract.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unless otherwise agreed, the following are specifically excluded:\n\u2022 Buildings for the installation of the system\n\u2022 Foundations and foundation anchors\n\u2022 All piping for supply, connection, and disposal\n\u2022 Cable ducts and connecting cables outside the scope of delivery of GG\/ASKI\n\u2022 Installation of the lines and the corresponding equipment\n\u2022 Manhole and pit covers\n\u2022 Charging baskets and racks\n\u2022 Platforms, stairs, handrails, and safety grilles\n\u2022 Cranes, lifting platforms, transport equipment, scaffolding, forklifts, and other work aids\n\u2022 Unloading and proper storage of equipment\n\u2022 Tools, small parts, and consumables required for assembly, commissioning, and operation\n\u2022 Air conditioning units, especially for control rooms\nTraining personnel in the operation of the delivered system\n\u2022 Installation and commissioning\n\u2022 Deliveries and services in accordance with standards and special regulations applicable in the country of destination\n\u2022 Obtaining the official permits required for the installation, commissioning, and operation of the system.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Geb\u00e4ude f\u00fcr die Aufstellung der Anlage<\/li>\n<li>Fundamente und Fundamentanker<\/li>\n<li>alle Rohrleitungen f\u00fcr Versorgung, Anschluss und Entsorgung<\/li>\n<li>Kabelkan\u00e4le und Verbindungskabel au\u00dferhalb des Lieferumfangs von GG\/ASKI<\/li>\n<li>Verlegen der Leitungen und der entsprechenden Ein-richtungen<\/li>\n<li>Kanal- und Grubenabdeckungen<\/li>\n<li>Chargier K\u00f6rbe und Gestelle<\/li>\n<li>B\u00fchnen, Treppen, Gel\u00e4nder und Schutzgitter<\/li>\n<li>Kr\u00e4ne, Hebeb\u00fchnen, Transporteinrichtungen, Ger\u00fcste, Stapler und sonstige Arbeitshilfsger\u00e4te<\/li>\n<li>Entladung und ordnungsgem\u00e4\u00dfe Lagerung der Aus-r\u00fcstung<\/li>\n<li>f\u00fcr Montage, Inbetriebnahme und Betrieb erforderliche Werkzeuge, Kleinmaterialien, sowie Hilfs- und Betriebsstoffe<\/li>\n<li>Klimager\u00e4te insbesondere f\u00fcr Schaltr\u00e4ume<\/li>\n<li>Einweisung des Personals in die Bedienung der gelieferten Anlage<\/li>\n<li>Montage und Inbetriebnahme<\/li>\n<li>Lieferungen und Leistungen aufgrund von im Bestimmungsland geltenden Normen und besonderen Vorschriften<\/li>\n<li>Einholung der f\u00fcr Montage, Inbetriebnahme und Be-trieb der Anlage erforderlichen beh\u00f6rdlichen Genehmigungen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The above-mentioned deliveries, services, and supplies must be provided by the purchaser at its own expense, in a timely manner, and in the required quality and quantity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>III. <\/strong><strong>Prices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The prices listed in GG\/ASKI\u2019s offer, in the purchaser\u2019s order, and in GG\/ASKI\u2019s order confirmation or in the contract do not include any deliveries, services, or obligations that are not expressly mentioned in GG\/ASKI\u2019s scope of delivery and services.<\/p>\n<p>All taxes and duties incurred in the Purchaser\u2019s country or in a third country in connection with the contract shall be borne by the Purchaser. Should such taxes and duties be directly imposed on GG\/ASKI, the Purchaser shall indemnify GG\/ASKI in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>If the prices include any services (installation supervision, commissioning, etc.), these are based on the contractually agreed schedule. If the schedule is extended or postponed for reasons not solely attributable to GG\/ASKI, the additional costs will be billed to the customer at the GG\/ASKI rates in effect at the time the services are rendered. In general, if the contractually agreed schedule is delayed by more than one month for reasons not solely attributable to GG\/ASKI, GG\/ASKI is entitled to adjust the contractually agreed prices in accordance with any interim changes or changes foreseeable or customary for the duration of the service provision in labor costs as well as other costs necessary for the deliveries and services (in particular, costs for materials, energy, transportation, subcontracted work, financing, etc.) and to charge the customer accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>All consequences resulting from changes to laws or regulations or from new laws or regulations enacted after the date of the offer shall be borne by the customer. In the event of import restrictions imposed by a government authority, for example in the form of import duties, tariffs, or taxes, the contract price shall be adjusted accordingly.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>IV. <\/strong><strong>Payments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Payments for deliveries and services (or pro-rata payments in the case of partial deliveries) must be made in accordance with the terms and deadlines specified in the order confirmation\/contract. Payments are considered fulfilled once they have been credited to GG\/ASKI\u2019s account. Regardless of the chosen payment method, the customer assumes the transfer risks. Bank charges incurred in the customer\u2019s country and\/or in any third countries shall be borne by the customer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Payments must be made without any deduction for taxes, duties, etc. If installment payments were contractually agreed upon after delivery of the system (e.g., upon commissioning or acceptance), the customer must make these payments no later than 1 month after the respective contractually scheduled date, provided that this date was not met for reasons beyond GG\/ASKI\u2019s sole control.<\/p>\n<p>Contractually agreed-upon usage authorizations for the application software and the license code for the permanent operation of the system will be provided to the purchaser only after payment of the final contractually agreed-upon installment.<\/p>\n<p>The customer may neither postpone payment of the contract price nor delay it beyond the agreed due dates. The customer may set off the contract price against counterclaims only if such counterclaims have been legally established.<\/p>\n<p>If the customer is in default of a payment or of providing payment securities such as bank guarantees, letters of credit, or other obligations, GG\/ASKI may, at its discretion, either<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>a) insist on performance of the contract and\ni) suspend the performance of its own obligations until the overdue payments or other performance have been settled,\nii) claim a reasonable extension of the delivery period, and\niii) charge statutory default interest from the due date, but at a minimum of 8% per annum, or b) if the customer\u2019s default exceeds 30 days, withdraw from the contract in whole or in part after granting a reasonable grace period and claim damages. In this case, the customer must return any goods already delivered to GG\/ASKI, compensate GG\/ASKI for any resulting depreciation of the equipment, and reimburse GG\/ASKI for all damages arising in connection with the withdrawal from the contract.<\/li>\n<li>i) die Erf\u00fcllung seiner eigenen Verpflichtungen bis zur Begleichung der r\u00fcckst\u00e4ndigen Zahlungen oder sonstigen Leistungen aussetzen,<\/li>\n<li>ii) eine angemessene Verl\u00e4ngerung der Lieferfrist in An-spruch nehmen, und<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>iii) ab F\u00e4lligkeit die gesetzlichen Verzugszinsen, mindestens jedoch 8% p.a. verrechnen, oder<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>b) falls der Verzug des Bestellers 30 Tage \u00fcbersteigt, unter Einr\u00e4umung einer angemessenen Nachfrist ganz oder teilweise vom Vertrag zur\u00fccktreten und Schadenersatz verlangen. In diesem Fall hat der Besteller bereits gelieferte Waren an GG\/ASKI zur\u00fcckzustellen und Ersatz f\u00fcr die eingetretene Wertminderung der Ausr\u00fcstung zu leisten sowie alle im Zusammenhang mit dem R\u00fccktritt vom Vertrag entstehende Sch\u00e4den zu ersetzen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In accordance with applicable law, the goods remain the property of GG\/ASKI until the entire contract price has been paid in full and without reservation. If this retention-of-title clause is not permissible or is not valid or enforceable at the location where the goods were delivered, but case law permits GG\/ASKI to reserve other rights in the delivered goods, then GG\/ASKI may exercise all such rights. In this case, the purchaser is obligated to grant GG\/ASKI these other rights in lieu of the retention of title.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>V. Delivery Period<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the delivery period begins on the latest of the following dates:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>i) The date the contract is signed by both parties or the date GG\/ASKI signs the order confirmation;<\/li>\n<li>ii) The date on which all outstanding technical details of the system, to be clarified by the purchaser, have been resolved;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>iii) The date on which GG\/ASKI receives a required down payment and\/or a payment guarantee to be provided by the purchaser in favor of GG\/ASKI is established and accepted by GG\/ASKI.<\/p>\n<p>The agreed-upon delivery date applies to delivery ex works and shall be deemed fulfilled at the moment the goods are made available for shipment (ready for shipment); this also applies in the event that the transportation costs are included in the agreed-upon price and GG\/ASKI handles the shipment.<\/p>\n<p>If the purchaser fails to fulfill its contractual obligations on time, in particular if<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2022 payments are not made in accordance with the contract and\/or contractual security (letters of credit, bank guarantees, etc.) is not provided in a timely manner; or<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 the customer fails to provide the information necessary for the proper performance of the contract in a timely manner, or fails to approve drawings and plans submitted for its approval within a reasonable time; or<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 parts and equipment to be provided by the customer are not available at the desired time; or<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 the customer fails to provide contractually agreed support, cooperation, and services in a timely manner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>GG\/ASKI shall, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to compensation for the resulting additional costs and to a reasonable extension of the schedule.<\/p>\n<p>If the delivered goods cannot be delivered to the customer for reasons for which GG\/ASKI is not solely responsible, the delivery shall be deemed legally effective upon notification that the goods are ready for shipment, and the payments agreed upon upon delivery shall become due. In such a case, the costs for storage, maintenance, security, and insurance shall be borne by the customer, and the risk shall pass to the customer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GG\/ASKI is exempt from timely performance of the contract if GG\/ASKI is not solely responsible for any delay or if GG\/ASKI is prevented from performing due to events of force majeure, such as the consequences of social conflicts (strikes or lockouts), unavailability of means of transport, government orders, energy-related measures, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest, epidemics and pandemics, boycotts, explosions, cyberattacks, natural disasters\u2014in particular floods and earthquakes, etc.\u2014and other reasons beyond GG\/ASKI\u2019s control. The same applies if such circumstances occur at subcontractors. Furthermore, GG\/ASKI has the right to suspend further performance of the work and to postpone the deployment of personnel and\/or withdraw personnel from the site if the safety or health situation in the country where the equipment or a part thereof is to be manufactured, assembled, or installed is, in the opinion of GG\/ASKI or one of its subcontractors, not or no longer acceptable for the personnel of GG\/ASKI or its subcontractors. Such circumstances shall also be considered an event of \u201cforce majeure.\u201d If such circumstances persist for a period exceeding 6 months, GG\/ASKI shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract, and the customer shall be obligated to pay for the goods manufactured and in production as of that time, as well as for services rendered, in proportion to the contract price, upon receipt of an invoice from GG\/ASKI.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VI.\tTransportation and Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the absence of express agreements and precise instructions provided by the customer in a timely manner, the delivery item shall be shipped, at GG\/ASKI\u2019s discretion, either packaged or unpackaged.<\/p>\n<p>Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the equipment is sold \u201cex works\u201d (EXW) from GG\/ASKI or its subcontractors. The INCOTERMS 2020 of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) apply.<\/p>\n<p>If the delivery terms agreed upon in a specific case require GG\/ASKI to organize transportation, the freight rates valid on the day of delivery, plus any necessary additional costs (e.g., for transportation permits, downtime and waiting times, route changes, etc.), will be invoiced separately. The buyer is responsible for ensuring safe and unimpeded access to the unloading point as well as for the immediate unloading of the means of transport.<\/p>\n<p>Unless otherwise agreed in the contract, partial deliveries are permitted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VII. Technical Data, Confidentiality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Weights, dimensions, consumption figures, performance specifications, descriptions of properties, and, in general, all data listed in catalogs, brochures, or promotional materials are non-binding unless they are expressly declared in writing to be part of the contract. GG\/ASKI reserves the right to make minor changes to the delivered item, provided that such changes do not impair the system\u2019s functionality, particularly with regard to its usability.<\/p>\n<p>The purchaser expressly agrees to keep the drawings and technical information provided to it by GG\/ASKI confidential and to use them solely for the purposes of operating and maintaining the system. Under no circumstances is the purchaser entitled to disclose to third parties any such drawings and technical information relating to the subject matter of delivery and\/or installation, or to reproduce them without the prior written consent of GG\/ASKI, which remains the sole owner.<\/p>\n<p>The Customer may not, without the prior written consent of GG\/ASKI, directly or indirectly commission a competitor of GG\/ASKI to perform installation or service work on the system covered by this contract. In particular, the Customer must ensure that no competitor of GG\/ASKI is granted access to drawings or documents supplied by GG\/ASKI.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VIII.\tInstallation and Commissioning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If GG\/ASKI\u2019s scope of services includes installation or supervision of installation at the system\u2019s installation site, the Customer is obligated to cooperate with GG\/ASKI in such a way that the installation and commissioning take place under the best possible conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The purchaser is obligated to inspect the delivered equipment for completeness and proper condition and, at its own expense, to arrange for onward transport to the installation site or to store it in a covered location protected from the elements in order to keep the equipment in proper condition until installation.<\/p>\n<p>Security, storage, and insurance against fire, accidents, theft, etc., shall be at the expense and risk of the Customer and must be provided or arranged by the Customer. The Customer must also ensure that all equipment and materials are handed over to GG\/ASKI\u2019s installation personnel in perfect condition as the installation progresses.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Customer must ensure that the work is not carried out in locations that are hazardous to health or dangerous, that GG\/ASKI personnel are provided with appropriate accommodations free of charge, and that medical care is available on site. Prior to the commencement of work, the Customer must notify GG\/ASKI in writing and through appropriate documentation of any specific hazards on the construction site and must fully assist GG\/ASKI\u2019s personnel in conducting a situation-specific risk assessment on site.<\/p>\n<p>Upon request by GG\/ASKI, the customer must provide the necessary materials, means of transport, tools, energy sources, operating supplies, gases, and liquids in general, as well as labor, free of charge, even if this is not specified in the contract.<\/p>\n<p>If the Customer is responsible for installation and GG\/ASKI merely supervises the installation, the installation shall be carried out at the Customer\u2019s expense and risk.<\/p>\n<p>Should waiting times arise for GG\/ASKI personnel during installation or commissioning that are not attributable to GG\/ASKI, and should this result in delays or necessitate additional working hours, travel to and from the site, overnight stays, and the like, these costs will be invoiced to the Customer at the applicable GG\/ASKI hourly rates and must be paid by the Customer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>IX.\tPerformance Certificate and Acceptance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the contract provides for a performance test and acceptance, acceptance must take place within 10 days of notification of the completion of commissioning or notification of readiness for acceptance, in accordance with the contractually agreed terms and conditions. Acceptance is deemed to have been successfully completed once the agreed performance test has been passed. Once this test has been passed, the Customer may no longer demand any further trials or tests.<\/p>\n<p>If a performance test cannot be successfully conducted for reasons for which GG\/ASKI is not solely responsible, the system shall be deemed to have been unconditionally accepted and accepted by the purchaser upon completion of commissioning, but no later than 6 months after delivery or readiness for shipment. Acceptance must be confirmed by an acceptance report signed by both parties.<\/p>\n<p>Minor defects that do not impair the system\u2019s performance do not constitute grounds for refusing acceptance.<\/p>\n<p>Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the customer shall pay for the working and travel hours of the personnel dispatched by GG\/ASKI at the applicable GG\/ASKI hourly rates. The costs incurred during commissioning and acceptance for the operation of the system (energy, auxiliary materials, and consumables, etc.) shall be borne by the customer.<\/p>\n<p>The Customer may not put the system into operation prior to acceptance, not even for preliminary tests. If the Customer nevertheless operates the system, this is done at the Customer\u2019s sole risk, and the system is automatically deemed accepted, and all of the Customer\u2019s contractual obligations associated therewith become due.<\/p>\n<p>If a system consists of several subsystems, the completion of commissioning or acceptance shall be declared for each respective subsystem in accordance with the progress of work, and the purchaser\u2019s associated contractual obligations (e.g., payment upon acceptance) shall become due proportionally upon the completion of commissioning or acceptance of the respective subsystem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>X.\tWarranty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GG\/ASKI warrants that the equipment delivered by GG\/ASKI is free from defects at the time of delivery that are due to defective materials or improper workmanship.<\/p>\n<p>The warranty period is 12 months, except for parts that are exposed to high thermal stresses and parts that come into direct contact with liquid metals. No warranty applies to these parts. In the case of delivery of goods only\u2014i.e., without installation\u2014the warranty period begins upon shipment from the delivery plant or, in the event of a delivery delay for which GG\/ASKI is not responsible, upon notification that the goods are ready for shipment. In the case of delivery including installation, the warranty period begins when the system is ready for commissioning. GG\/ASKI will notify the customer in writing when the system is ready for commissioning. Unless the warranty ends earlier in accordance with the above provisions, any warranty shall in any case expire no later than 18 months after delivery or readiness for shipment.<\/p>\n<p>For purchased parts, in particular electrical components, the warranty is limited to that of the respective manufacturer or supplier.<\/p>\n<p>For replaced or repaired parts, the warranty expires at the same time as that of the main delivery.<\/p>\n<p>All wear-and-tear parts are excluded from the warranty. If these are not specified in either the offer or the delivery contract, wear-and-tear parts customary in the industry shall be deemed excluded from the warranty obligation.<\/p>\n<p>Any defect must be reported to GG\/ASKI in writing without delay; failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of all claims for warranty and damages, specifically\n\u2022 for visible defects, no later than 7 days after receipt of the delivery\n\u2022 for non-apparent defects, no later than 7 days after discovery of the defect.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>bei erkennbaren M\u00e4ngeln sp\u00e4testens 7 Tage nach Empfang der Lieferung<\/li>\n<li>bei nicht erkennbaren M\u00e4ngeln sp\u00e4testens 7 Tage nach Entdeckung des Mangels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The purchaser must provide evidence that the defect already existed at the time of delivery; the reversal of the burden of proof provided for by law is excluded. Defective parts will, at GG\/ASKI\u2019s discretion, be repaired or replaced free of charge, provided the defect is attributable to defective material or workmanship. Replaced defective parts must be made available to GG\/ASKI and shall become the property of GG\/ASKI.<\/p>\n<p>The purchaser must grant GG\/ASKI a reasonable amount of time and the opportunity to remedy the defect. The purchaser\u2019s right to assert claims for defects expires six months after the date of proper notification of the defect, but no later than the expiration of the warranty period.<\/p>\n<p>The warranty does not cover defects resulting from faulty, improper, or negligent handling, as well as interventions or uses that were not foreseeable under the contract. The warranty shall expire if the customer or third parties make modifications or repairs to the system without the written consent of GG\/ASKI, or if the customer fails to take appropriate measures immediately to prevent further damage and to enable GG\/ASKI to remedy the defect. Furthermore, the warranty shall be void if the system is put into operation without supervision by GG\/ASKI personnel, or if the system is not operated and maintained in accordance with GG\/ASKI guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Only in urgent cases where operational safety is at risk and to prevent serious damage (in which case GG\/ASKI must be notified immediately), or if the defect cannot be remedied despite repeated attempts by GG\/ASKI to do so, does the customer have the right to remedy the defect themselves or have it remedied by third parties and to demand reasonable reimbursement from GG\/ASKI for the justified direct costs.<\/p>\n<p>If the existence of a defect within the meaning of the above provisions is disputed, the Customer bears the burden of proof. If the Customer asserts defects that are not covered by the warranty, the Customer must reimburse GG\/ASKI for all costs and expenses incurred as a result.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>XI. Software<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To the extent that software is included in the scope of delivery, the purchaser is granted a non-exclusive right to use the delivered software, including its documentation, for the purpose of operating the system. Use of the software on more than one system is prohibited. The purchaser may not reproduce, modify, translate, or make the software available to third parties. All other rights to the software, the documentation, and the source code remain with GG\/ASKI or the software supplier.<\/p>\n<p>For software purchased by GG\/ASKI and for standard software, the respective provisions of the end-user license agreements apply, and the customer assumes all rights and obligations arising therefrom.
