  1. I. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT, CONTENT OF CONTRACT

    1. 1. these General Terms and Conditions apply only to transactions with customers who are entrepreneurs. Our offers, deliveries and services are subject exclusively to these Terms and Conditions of Delivery and Payment. General terms and conditions of the customer shall not become part of the contract, even if we do not expressly object to them again.
    2. 2 Our offers are subject to change. The customer is bound to his order until his written revocation, but at least eight weeks, so that we have sufficient time for all arrangements with our suppliers. The purchase contract is concluded upon written confirmation of the order or upon delivery of the ordered goods.
    3. 3. we do not deliver at risk and therefore only under the following conditions:
    4. 4. factoring: We work with a factoring company that provides credit insurance for our customers and buys our receivables:
      1. a) We reserve the right to reject orders if our factor does not provide credit insurance for the customer. We will explain the rejection to the customer immediately.
      2. b) In the event that we learn after conclusion of the contract that our factor has canceled or reduced the customer’s credit limit, we are entitled to demand advance payment or a bank guarantee until delivery of the ordered goods or to withdraw from the contract and demand compensation instead of performance.
    5. 5. advance payment: In the event of clause 4 b or non-insurance by the factor or if and we become aware of other circumstances (e.g. repeated default of payment, bill and check protests, enforcement measures against the customer or his legal representatives, Schufa entry) which make our claims appear to be at risk, we may demand an advance payment or a bank guarantee up to the amount of the delivery value. If the advance payment is not made within the required period (at our discretion), the order shall not go into production and we shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract and demand compensation instead of performance. We reserve ownership rights and copyrights to illustrations, product samples, sample books, sketches, drawings and other items. They may not be made accessible to third parties without our prior written consent and must be returned immediately upon request.
  2. II. USE OF OUR BRAND IN ADVERTISING

    1. Our customer undertakes to use only our “Elemente Clemente” brand as shown at the top of this page when advertising our goods. The same obligation applies to our representatives who sell our goods on our behalf. In any case, our goods may only be advertised with our trademark after we have approved the graphic representation of our trademark in writing with knowledge of the respective medium.
  3. III. PRICES, PAYMENTS

If we are unable to perform even after reasonable extensions, both the customer and we shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract. Claims for damages by the customer are excluded in this case.
    3. 3. if we are unable to meet a binding delivery date for reasons for which we are responsible, the customer must set us a subsequent delivery period of at least 10 days without success before he may withdraw from the contract and/or claim damages.

    5. 5. we have the right to sub-deliver up to 5% of the confirmed order value.
