1 General

For contracts for goods and services between GEDYS IntraWare GmbH and its Customers the following terms and conditions shall apply exclusively insofar as no supplementary conditions of contract are included in the Contract. These terms and conditions apply to all future business even if not expressly and separately agreed. The conditions are considered to be accepted no later than upon receipt of the goods or services. Alternative terms and conditions from the Customer and which are not expressly recognized in writing by GEDYS IntraWare GmbH are in all cases non-binding. To be binding, all agreements require written confirmation from GEDYS IntraWare GmbH.

2 Ordering, Award of Contract

GEDYS IntraWare GmbH accepts verbal and written orders. The risk of errors in transmission with regard to verbal orders is borne by the Customer. A Contract does not however come into existence until an order has been confirmed in writing, normally within two weeks. All quotations drawn up by GEDYS IntraWare GmbH are subject to change without notice and are non-binding. Goods or services combined within a quotation shall only be viewed as belonging together when this is expressly agreed. The creation of product manuals must be specified separately in the order

3 Assumption of Risk and Delivery

Even where it has been expressly agreed to bear the costs of shipping, GEDYS IntraWare GmbH shall deliver at the sole risk of the Customer; the risk is transferred to the Customer at the point at which the goods are transferred to the Customer or to a person carrying out the shipping. In the event of accidental loss, accidental damage or the loss of the goods, the Customer must pay the full purchase price. The place of performance is the headquarters of GEDYS IntraWare GmbH. The arrangement of shipping insurance is at the discretion of the Customer. The Customer also bears the risks of shipping for the arrival of goods returned to GEDYS IntraWare GmbH.

4 Partial Services, Partial Payments

GEDYS IntraWare GmbH is entitled to make partial deliveries, which may be settled in each case after execution. GEDYS GmbH expressly reserves the right to demand advance payments. This is especially true in the cases where the contract also includes the adaptation of the software for the customer or the creation of a special software system.

5 Periods of Delivery

The delivery period for ordered goods is approximately 3 weeks subject to punctual delivery by our suppliers. At the request of the Customer, a longer delivery period can also be agreed. If this delivery period is exceeded by more than 2 weeks, the Customer must grant GEDYS IntraWare GmbH a grace period of 2 weeks starting from the date on which GEDYS IntraWare GmbH is notified. Upon expiry of this grace period, the Customer can withdraw from the Contract by means of registered letter. In this event claims for damages made by the Customer arise only if GEDYS IntraWare GmbH has caused damage to the Customer deliberately or by means of gross negligence; additional claims for damages by the Customer is – insofar as is legally permitted – excluded.

6 Prices and Payment

All of the prices specified by GEDYS IntraWare GmbH are net prices excluding sales tax; sales tax at the appropriate statutory rate shall be added unless the prices are expressly indicated as being gross prices including sales tax at the relevant statutory rate. Unless otherwise agreed, the costs of special packaging and shipping are to be borne by the Customer. The prices of equipment do not include the costs of installation and training nor any software adjustments; likewise the prices for software do not include the cost of installation, training and any necessary adjustment to other hardware and/or software. The Customer must order such services separately, which will then be charged separately; information for which a separate charge is made describes the most important performance features of a delivery item, without being a substitute for a detailed training course. For such services, GEDYS IntraWare GmbH offers the Customer separate service, maintenance, and training agreements. If the Customer fails to make a payment on time, GEDYS IntraWare GmbH shall be entitled to charge interest at the rate usually charged by commercial banks for open current account advances, but no less than – insofar as a consumer is not involved in the legal transaction – 8% above the base interest rate. Where a higher interest rate can be demonstrated, GEDYS IntraWare GmbH shall be entitled to charge this percentage rate. This shall not affect proof of further damage. If the Customer’s check or bill is not honoured, GEDYS IntraWare GmbH shall be entitled to make the entire remaining debt payable immediately, even where other checks or bills have been received. In such cases, GEDYS IntraWare GmbH shall be entitled to demand from the Customer advance payments or deposit payments for all other contractually agreed services and, following an appropriate grace period, to withdraw from these Contracts and/or, where legally permissible, to demand compensation for non-fulfillment.

7 Retention of Title

The Customer may neither pawn nor otherwise transfer ownership of goods under the retention of title of GEDYS IntraWare GmbH, nor otherwise resell or pass them on. The Customer may dispose of the objects subject to retention of title only to the extent that they are to be processed, installed or resold during the course of normal business.

The Customer hereby transfers to the Seller the receivables arising from the resale, including the insurance payment, in the appropriate amount. If the value of the goods or receivables of the Customer entered as simple or extended retention of title exceeds by more than 20 percent the value of the receivables owed to GEDYS IntraWare GmbH by the Customer, the Seller shall, at the request of the Buyer reduce the over-collateralization such that the security rights exceed the claims of GEDYS IntraWare GmbH by more than 20 percent.
