Terms of Service

1. Validity
We, the Network Innovativ e.K., call ourselves “seller” in the following.
You, our buyers, are referred to as “buyers” in our general terms and conditions to ensure legibility.
For all business relationships between the seller and the buyer, the following general terms and conditions apply exclusively in the version valid at the time the buyer places the order. Deviating terms and conditions of the buyer do not apply, even if the seller does not expressly object to them.
2. Conclusion of the contract
2.1.
If the goods are not in stock, the buyer is bound to the order for 2 weeks. The contract is concluded when this period expires, unless the seller has previously rejected the contract offer in writing.
2.2.
The contract is concluded before the deadline expires if the seller delivers before the deadline expires, countersigns the offer, confirms acceptance of the offer in writing or accepts down payments.
3. Changes to the goods ordered
If goods are not in stock, the seller must deliver according to the catalogue. The goods must meet the legal requirements. Customary and reasonable minor deviations in color or dimensions do not constitute a defect.
4. Price, terms of payment
The agreed prices include VAT. Additional services, in particular delivery to the buyer and assembly at the buyer's site, are not included in the price.
Invoice amounts are due upon receipt of the order confirmation by the buyer or countersignature of the offer by the buyer. Payment is made in advance, by bank transfer or by direct debit. Another payment option must be agreed in writing with the seller in advance.
5. Retention of title, offsetting, right of retention

5.3.
The buyer is only entitled to assert a right of retention due to counterclaims arising from this contract.
6. Extension of the delivery period
If the seller cannot meet the agreed delivery date, he must inform the buyer of this in good time. Disturbances in the seller's business operations or at sub-suppliers for which the seller is not responsible, in particular strikes and lawful lockouts as well as cases of force majeure, extend the delivery time according to the duration of the disruption. In such cases, the buyer is only entitled to withdraw if he issues a reminder for the agreed services after the delivery period has expired, sets a reasonable grace period and the reasonable grace period has also expired without result. If the delivery period is determined by calendar, the reasonable grace period to be set by the buyer begins when it expires. The statutory right to damages in lieu of performance remains unaffected.

7.1.
Delivery is made to the delivery address specified by the buyer and takes place after full payment of the invoice amount.

In principle, the risk is transferred to the buyer when the item sold is handed over, unless the item is shipped to the buyer. In this case, the risk passes to the buyer as soon as the purchased item has been handed over by the seller to the parcel, postal service or forwarding agent.
9. Claims for Defects, Limitation of Liability, Statute of Limitations
9.1.
Claims for defects If there is a defect in the items delivered by the seller, the seller will either remedy this within a reasonable period of time at the buyer's discretion or provide the service complained about again free of defects (subsequent performance overall).
If the supplementary performance fails, in particular because the defect is not remedied despite attempts to remedy, the supplementary performance is unreasonably delayed or is rejected without justification, the buyer can choose to withdraw from the contract or reduce the price.
The buyer shall notify the seller of obvious defects in writing or by e-mail within a period of 4 weeks after the moment when he discovered the defect. If the buyer fails to do so, his claims for defects expire 4 weeks after he discovered the defect. This does not apply in cases of malice of the seller.
Claims for defects do not extend to damage for which the buyer is responsible, in particular damage caused by natural wear and tear, improper handling or the effects of temperature or weather.
9.2.
Limitation of liability The buyer's claims for damages or reimbursement of futile expenses are based on this regulation.
