Shipping Informations

As declared in the general terms and conditions -V. Deliveries, Lead Times and Deadlines

1. Quoted or agreed lead-times shall always be deemed only approximate; firm dates are excluded.

2. Delivery times shall commence with the date of our written order confirmation and are subject

to the timely clarification of any details of the order as well as the timely fulfilment of all of the

purchaser's obligations. e.g. the provision of official certifications, letters of credit and payment

guarantees or payment of instalments. Delivery deadlines and dates are prolonged - regardless of

our rights resulting from delay of the customers - by the period of time in which the customer does

not satisfy his obligations towards us.

3. Circumstances beyond our control, all cases of force majeure (especially strike, lockout, lack of

raw materials or energy and operational problems) and disruptions or restrictions among one or

more upstream suppliers shall discharge us from our delivery commitment for the duration of the

disruption and in the extent of its impacts. If the force majeure causes a final, permanent,

irreparable hindrance of delivery, we are entitled to cancel the contract. If the hindrance takes

longer than five weeks and the other party is not informed forthwith after its inquiry that delivery

will be rendered; and the goods are not delivered within 14 days from the date of notification, the

other party may cancel the contract with immediate effect.
