2.2 Acceptance of orders given orally or in writing shall take place through our written order-confirmation only.

 

3.  Prices
3.1 Indication of and reference to prices in our offers or otherwise is not binding. The price for the goods to be delivered by us shall be their price at the day of delivery.

4.  Delivery and delivery terms
4.1 The date or term of delivery shall be stated in and can only be proven by our written order confirmation.
4.2 Confirmation of the day or term of delivery shall only serve as information and unless otherwise confirmed by us in writing, never as final term. We can be put into default by buyer in writing only. The term to be set therein for fulfillment shall always (be held to) be at least four weeks. Even thereafter we shall be entitled to delivery unless buyer should have terminated the agreement in writing.
4.3 All claims, under whichever name, in regards of delayed delivery with exception of the claim for fulfillment or dissolution of the agreement are herewith excluded.
4.4 In case delivery should have become definitely impossible we and our buyer are entitled to immediately rescind the agreement. In case of temporary impossibility this can only be done when we shall have been put into default and this impossibility will thereafter have continued for at least two months. As impossibility (force majeure) shall be understood all internal or external circumstances by which it has become impossible for us to fulfill our obligations (in due time), even when such circumstances would have been foreseeable.
4.5 All goods to be delivered by supplier shall be send at buyer’s risk. The delivery takes place at the moment of their being consigned. The way of consignment and its routing is at our discretion. Consignment shall take place by Home Story under the terms: Ex Works. In case delivery should be agreed upon under other common trade clauses these shall apply in their meaning in the most recent.

 

5.  Title
5.1  Title to the goods delivered by us shall not pass to the buyer until the amounts due for all goods sold and delivered by us, for services rendered and or for activities undertaken by us as well as all other amounts which we shall have claimed from buyer because of non-fulfillment by him of any such agreements will have been paid. This clause also applies in case of a current-account agreement with buyer.
5.2  The buyer is not entitled to encumber goods delivered by us or grant third parties any right thereto. He shall be entitled to use the goods delivered by us in the scope of the normal execution of his business and/or to deliver them to third parties under the condition however that a covenant like article 5.1 of these conditions be then agreed.
5.3  The buyer shall in respect of all goods to which title is retained by us take all care necessary to safeguard our interest thereto, to grant us access to these goods and to immediately inform us in writing of any action of third parties which may in a negative way affect our concern in these goods.
5.4  In case buyer should not in time fulfil his obligations, we shall, after buyer will be default, be entitled to immediately take back at the cost of buyer all goods delivered without any further notice of default being thereto required and irrespective of the fact that deliveries may have taken place after the buyer is in default in regards of fulfillment of any of his obligations.
5.5. In case because of mixing, processing or using of goods delivered, title thereto can no longer be retained, the buyer shall obtain title to the good created thereby as our representative in our behalf. We shall then be entitled thereto in relation of the value of the goods delivered by us to the value of the good thus created. The buyer shall at our first request grant us a lien on all goods thus created which goods need then not be put in our possession, and herewith grants us in case a co-proprietorship as meant hereinbefore should have not been realised, such lien on the goods then obtained.
5.6  Buyer herewith grants us in respect of every order for delivery of goods which he may deliver to third parties a lien as mentioned in article 5.5 on all debentures which will for him result from such delivery. In case of default of buyer we shall be entitled to notify his debtor of that lien. Buyer shall then assist us by all means in our efforts to collect the debentures under that lien and shall provide us with all information and documents, which we shall thereto deem necessary.
