General Business and Delivery Conditions of JBL GmbH & Co. KG Towards Business Owners.

Status 09/2019
1. Scope of Application
  1. These conditions of JBL GmbH & Co. KG (hereinafter referred to as ‘seller’) apply in the version valid at the time the order is made for all deliveries and services of the seller towards business owners (hereinafter referred to as ‘buyer’) as defined in § 14 BGB (German Civil Code), therefore towards every natural person, legal entity or partnership with legal capacity executing their self-employed or commercial professional activities upon conclusion of the legal transaction.
  2. Through placing an order, the buyer consents to these conditions. Differing conditions of the buyer do not apply even if the seller does not expressly disagree to them.
2. Conclusion of Contract and Right of Modification
  1. The seller’s offerings do not constitute a binding offer to sell towards the buyer. They are merely a request to the buyer to submit a binding offer to the seller.
  2. Purchase offers can be submitted by the buyer by fax, email, telephone or via the B2B online shop. The acceptance of the contract by the seller shall be given within 14 days through an explicit declaration of acceptance, a request for payment or the dispatch of the goods.
  3. The right to make changes to design/construction, as well as other changes to technical specifications and performance, is reserved, insofar as they serve the interests of technical progress and are reasonable for the buyer.
3. Prices
  1. All prices named in offers and orders and the amounts due for payment that result do not include statutory value-added tax to the respectively applicable amount nor packaging, which is to be separately indicated on the invoice.
  2. Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, the prices shall apply "ex warehouse Neuhofen/Pfalz".
4. Delivery
  1. Details on the delivery period are only deemed to be binding if the delivery date is agreed to in writing by the seller.
  2. Unless agreed otherwise, the delivery is made from the Neuhofen warehouse at the customer’s own cost and risk.
  3. If the seller is unable to adhere to the agreed delivery period, s/he is to promptly make the buyer aware of the situation. Disruptions to the seller’s business operations or those of suppliers for which the seller is not responsible, particularly work stoppages, lawful lockouts, as well as acts of God; lead to an extension of the delivery period in accordance with the duration of the disruption. In such cases, the buyer is only entitled to withdraw from the contract if s/he sends a reminder of the agreed services upon expiry of the delivery period and s/he sets an appropriate grace period which expires to no avail. If the delivery period is defined by a calendar date, the appropriate grace period to be set by the buyer begins upon the passing of this date. The statutory right to claim damages in place of the service remains unaffected.
  4. Partial deliveries are permitted insofar as they are reasonable to the buyer.
5. Payment Terms
  1. Provided that nothing else arises following order confirmation, sales to first time buyers shall be subject to prepayment or cash on delivery with a 2% discount. Furthermore, the seller grants a 3% discount for payment by direct debit, upon collection and spot cash. For payments on account, the purchase price is to be settled within 8 days of the invoice date with a 2% discount or net (without deduction) within 30 days of the invoice date. A discount is only granted if there are no due claims against the buyer.
  2. The statutory regulations concerning the consequences of late payment apply accordingly.
  3. Cheques are accepted exclusively on account of performance. Bills of exchange are not accepted as a means of payment.
6. Offsetting/Retention
  1. The buyer may only offset claims which are uncontested or legally binding.
  2. The buyer is only entitled to exercise his/her right of retention insofar as his/her counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
7. Title Retention
  1. The delivery item, including any additions (‘discounts in kind’), remains the property of the seller until all claims against the buyer toward the seller arising from the business relationship have been fulfilled. In the event that the buyer breaches the contract, the seller is entitled to recover the conditional goods. The recovery of goods does not constitute withdrawal from the contract unless this is expressly stated by the seller.
  2. The conditional goods can then be resold in the normal course of business. In the event of a sale, the buyer cedes to the seller by way of security his/her claim arising from the resale against the purchaser with all ancillary rights without the need for any further declarations. This cession is subject to all balance demands and only to the amount which corresponds to the prices of the conditional goods as invoiced by the seller. The buyer shall remain entitled to collect the claim even after ceding rights. This does not affect the right of the seller to collect the claim themselves. The seller shall not make use of this right provided the buyer satisfies his/her payment obligations from the proceeds collected and does not default on payment or cease payment.
  3. The processing of the conditional goods by the buyer is always performed for and on behalf of the seller. In this regard, the expectant right of the buyer to the processed conditional goods continues. Should the conditional goods be processed with other goods which do not belong to the seller, the seller acquires joint ownership of the new item proportional to the invoice amount of the conditional goods compared to the other processed items at the time at which the processing takes place. The same shall also apply to any mixing/combination. If the mixing takes place in a way that the buyer’s item can be deemed as the principal item, it is hereby agreed that the buyer is to regularly transfer joint ownership to the seller and that the sole or joint ownership that arises is reserved for the seller. To secure the claims of the seller, the buyer also cedes those claims which have arisen from the combination of the conditional goods with property of a third party; the seller hereby accepts the cession of rights.
  4. The buyer shall immediately inform the seller in writing if the delivered conditional goods have been seized or exposed to third parties until such a point as ownership of the conditional goods is transferred. The buyer is obligated to provide the seller with all necessary information and, if applicable, documents, which are required for third-party proceedings instituted to prevent the execution of a judgment in accordance with § 771 ZPO (German Code of Civil Procedure).
  5. Upon request from the buyer, the seller is under an obligation to partially release the securities to which they are entitled if their value exceeds the claims to be secured by more than 20%.
8. Liability for Defects
  1. The period of limitation for defects is subject to the statutory provisions. The period begins anew if a replacement is delivered as part of liability for defects.
  2. Minor deviations from the agreed quality or minor impairments to usefulness shall not be subject to claims for defects.
  3. Provided that notification of the defect is given within the deadline, the seller shall, within the statutory provisions, undertake to repair or replace the goods in question. If the supplementary performance should be unsuccessful, the buyer may withdraw from the contract or reduce the remuneration.
  4. For sales to a merchant deemed as such by commercial law (§ 1 HGB (German Commercial Code), the obligations for commercial inspection and providing notice of defects as defined in § 377 HGB shall apply. Should the statutory notification obligations be omitted, the goods are considered approved.
9. Liability
  1. The seller assumes liability in accordance with the statutory conditions if the buyer asserts claims which are based on intentional acts or gross negligence, including the intentional acts or gross negligence of their representatives or vicarious agents.
  2. In other cases, the seller only assumes liability in accordance with the Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) and for injury to life, limb or health or for a culpable violation of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations).
  3. The buyer’s right to claim damages for the violation of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) is limited to damages that are typically foreseeable upon conclusion of the contract unless there is another case of mandatory liability as defined in paragraph 1 or 2.
  4. The above regulations will not lead to a change to the burden of proof to the detriment of the buyer.
10. Final Provisions
  1. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply.
  2. If the buyer is a merchant, legal entity under public law or special fund under public law, the sole place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the business location of the seller. The same shall apply if the buyer has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, or his/her domicile or habitual residence at the time the lawsuit is filed are not known.
  3. The regulations concerning UN sales law are not applicable.

  The buyer’s ordering process begins by their placing of a product into the shopping basket using the button, ‘Add to basket’ on the detailed product page. The buyer can access their personal shopping basket at any time by using the button ‘Shopping Basket’ in the upper menu bar.
  
  Once the buyers have filled their personal shopping cart with products, they can still change the order quantity in the shopping cart by selecting the quantity they want and pressing the "Update shopping cart" button, or they can remove a product from the shopping cart using the "Delete" button.
  
  The buyers can continue the ordering process by pressing the button ‘Log in to Order’.

If the buyer does not have a customer account, s/he must first open a customer account with the seller using the field ‘Create Account’. In such a case, the buyer must subsequently enter his/her personal details and confirm them by pressing the ‘Save’ button.
  
  The buyers are then forwarded to a payment processing page displayed by the payment service provider Klarna Bank AB to select and process the payment. The payment method is selected by activating the field in front of the desired payment method.
