11. Warranty and Guarantees
11.1 Liability for defects
Unless expressly agreed otherwise below, the statutory liability for defects shall apply.
The following limitations and shortening of time limits do not apply to claims based on damages caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents
- in case of injury to life, body or health
- in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty and fraudulent intent
- in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligations)
- within the framework of a guarantee promise, if agreed, or
- insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is open.
Restrictions on entrepreneurs
With respect to businesses, only our own information and the manufacturer's product descriptions included in the contract are deemed to constitute an agreement regarding the quality of the goods; we assume no liability for public statements made by the manufacturer or other advertising statements. For businesses, the limitation period for claims for defects in newly manufactured items is one year from the transfer of risk. The previous sentence does not apply to an item that has been used for a building in accordance with its usual purpose and has caused its defectiveness.
The statutory limitation periods for recourse claims pursuant to Section 445a of the German Civil Code (BGB) remain unaffected.
Notice to merchants
Merchants are subject to the obligation to inspect and notify defects stipulated in Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). If you fail to provide the notification stipulated therein, the goods shall be deemed accepted, unless the defect was not detectable during inspection. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect.
