4) In the event of default, the liability of FK Motors Europe GmbH is limited to the statutory provisions if the default in delivery is due to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of contract for which FK Motors Europe GmbH is responsible. FK Motors Europe GmbH is responsible for any fault on the part of its own representatives or vicarious agents employed by FK Motors Europe GmbH. If the delay in delivery is due to a grossly negligent breach of contract for which FK Motors Europe GmbH is responsible, liability for damages is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

5) FK Motors Europe GmbH is also liable in accordance with the statutory provisions if the delay in delivery for which it is responsible is based on the culpable violation of an essential contractual obligation; in this case, however, the liability for damages is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

6) FK Motors Europe GmbH is liable in accordance with the statutory provisions insofar as the underlying purchase contract is a fixed transaction within the meaning of Section 286 Paragraph 2 No. 4 BGB or Section 376 HGB. It is also liable under the statutory provisions if, as a result of a delay in delivery for which it is responsible, the buyer is entitled to assert that his interest in further fulfilment of the contract has ceased to exist.

7) If the goods are sent to the buyer at his request, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods passes to the buyer when the goods are sent to the buyer, at the latest when they leave the warehouse. This applies regardless of whether the goods are shipped from the place of performance or who bears the freight costs.

8) The handover is the same if the buyer is in default of acceptance.

9) If the buyer is in default of acceptance or culpably violates other obligations to cooperate, FK Motors Europe GmbH is entitled to demand compensation for the damage incurred, including any additional expenses. Further claims remain reserved. If the above conditions are met, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the purchased item passes to the buyer at the point in time at which he is in default of acceptance or debtor.

 

6 Warranty

1) Warranty claims of the buyer presuppose that he has duly fulfilled his obligations to examine and give notice of defects according to § 377 HGB.

2) If, despite all the care taken, the delivered goods have a defect that was already present at the time of the transfer of risk, FK Motors Europe GmbH will, at its discretion, either repair the goods or deliver replacement goods, subject to timely notification of defects. FK Motors Europe GmbH must always be given the opportunity to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time. Claims for recourse remain unaffected by the above regulation without restriction.

3) If the supplementary performance fails three times, the buyer can generally demand a reduction in payment (reduction) or cancellation of the contract (withdrawal). In the event of only a minor breach of contract, in particular in the case of only minor defects, the buyer is not entitled to withdraw from the contract.

4) If the buyer is entitled to compensation for damage instead of performance or a claim for compensation for damage in addition to performance, compensation for damage is limited to foreseeable, typically occurring average damage, provided there is no intentional breach of duty.

5) FK Motors Europe GmbH provides a warranty for defects in the delivered goods for a period of 2 years from delivery. A warranty for used items is expressly excluded.

Technical changes and changes in shape, color and/or weight are reserved within reasonable limits.

7) If the buyer receives defective assembly instructions, FK Motors Europe GmbH is only obliged to deliver assembly instructions that are free of defects and only if the defect in the assembly instructions ultimately prevents proper assembly.

 

7 Limitations of Liability

1) FK Motors Europe GmbH is only liable in accordance with the statutory provisions if the buyer asserts claims for damages based on intent or gross negligence, including intent or gross negligence on the part of its representatives or vicarious agents. Insofar as there is no intentional breach of contract, the liability for damages is limited to the foreseeable, direct average damage typical of the contract. This also applies to non-intentional breaches of duty by legal representatives or vicarious agents. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of insignificant contractual obligations, liability on the part of FK Motors Europe GmbH is excluded.

2) The above limitations of liability do not apply to product liability claims by the buyer. Furthermore, the limitations of liability do not apply to bodily injury or damage to health attributable to FK Motors Europe GmbH or in the event of loss of life of the buyer.

3) Claims for damages by the buyer due to a defect expire one year after delivery of the goods. This does not apply if FK Motors Europe GmbH can be accused of fraudulent intent or gross negligence, or in the case of bodily injury or damage to health attributable to FK Motors Europe GmbH, or if the buyer dies.

 

8 Retention of title

1) FK Motors Europe GmbH retains ownership of the delivered item until all claims arising from the delivery contract have been paid in full. This also applies to all future deliveries, even if FK Motors Europe GmbH does not expressly refer to this. FK Motors Europe GmbH is entitled to take back the purchased item if the buyer acts in breach of contract.

2) The buyer is obliged to treat the goods with care and to insure them against damage and loss. If maintenance and inspection work is required, the buyer must carry this out regularly at his own expense. In particular, the buyer is obliged to use and deploy the goods only in accordance with the operating instructions provided to him.

3) Until the goods have been paid for, the buyer is obliged to notify FK ​​Motors Europe GmbH immediately of any access by third parties to the goods, for example in the event of a seizure, as well as any damage or destruction of the goods. He must also immediately notify FK ​​Motors Europe GmbH of any change in ownership of the goods or his own change of residence.

4) FK Motors Europe GmbH is entitled to withdraw from the contract and to demand the return of the goods if the buyer behaves in breach of contract, in particular if he is in arrears with payment or if an obligation is breached.

5) The buyer is entitled to resell the reserved goods in the normal course of business. The buyer assigns the claims against the customer from the resale of the reserved goods to FK Motors Europe GmbH in the amount of the final invoice amount agreed with it (including value added tax). This assignment applies regardless of whether the purchased item has been resold without or after processing. The buyer remains authorized to collect the claim even after the assignment. The authority of FK Motors Europe GmbH to collect the claim itself remains unaffected. However, FK Motors Europe GmbH will not collect the claim as long as the buyer meets his payment obligations from the proceeds received,
 

6) The treatment and processing or transformation of the purchased item by the buyer is always carried out in the name and on behalf of FK Motors Europe GmbH. In this case, the purchaser's expectant right to the purchased item continues with the transformed item. If the purchased item is processed with other items that do not belong to FK Motors Europe GmbH, FK Motors Europe GmbH acquires co-ownership of the new item in proportion to the objective value of its purchased item to the other processed items at the time of processing. The same applies in the event of mixing with other items that do not belong to FK Motors Europe GmbH.
