Application of the General Sales Terms (GST)

(1) These general sales terms (GST) apply to any business relationships with our customers. They specifically apply to contracts on the sale and/or the delivery of movable objects, no matter if we produce them ourselves or purchase them from deliverers or suppliers. However, they shall only apply if the customer is an entrepreneur in the meaning of § 14 German Civil Code, a legal entity under public law or a public-law special fund. We deliver only to resellers.
(2) Our GST shall apply exclusively. Any contrary, deviating or supplementary terms and conditions of the customer shall not become part of the contract except if we expressly consent to their application in writing. For example, it shall not constitute consent if we accept orders or render services without reservation, knowing of the terms and conditions of the customer, or directly or indirectly refer to any letters, etc., that contain his or any third-party's.
