7.1 The price quotes are final prices and include the applicable value added tax.
7.2 In addition to the net price of the goods, the invoice will also show the price for supplementary services: packaging, shipping, 24-hour service, etc. as well as the value added tax applicable at the time of invoicing (for private customers).
7.3 To safeguard against the risk of creditworthiness, STARK Power GmbH shall reserve the right on a case-by- case basis to exclude certain types of payment and to only make requested deliveries in return for pre- payment, cash on delivery or immediate payment upon delivery.
For the purpose of deciding as to the establishment, implementation or termination of a contractual relationship, we shall gather or use probability values, which include address information, among other things, in their calculations.
8. Retention of Title
STARK Power GmbH shall retain title to all goods it delivers to a customer until final and complete payment for the delivered goods. If STARK Power GmbH replaces a product within the scope of the guarantee, it shall be agreed here and now that title to the product to be replaced shall transfer reciprocally from the customer to STARK Power GmbH or vice versa at the point in time at which STARK Power GmbH receives the goods sent back by the customer on one hand, and/or the customer receives the replacement delivery from STARK Power GmbH.
9. Warranty
9.2 If the delivered goods exhibit obvious material or manufacturing defects, which shall also include transportation damages, the customer shall be asked to file a complaint with STARK Power GmbH about such defects as soon as possible. Failure to file this complaint does not have any consequences with respect to your legal claims. In other respects, the legal provisions as per §§ 434 ff., 475 Subparagraph 1 BGB shall apply.
9.3 The warranty shall be for a period of two years and begins upon receipt of the goods by the customer.
9.4 In the event of a defect, the customer may at his option and as per § 439 BGB, request either rectification of the defect or delivery of a defect-free item. Within the scope of § 439, STARK Power GmbH may decline the type of subsequent fulfilment requested by the buyer if such is only possible at a disproportionate cost. If the defect cannot be rectified by means of a repair even after the second attempt, the customer shall be entitled within the scope of § 439 BGB, to request delivery of a defect-free item or a reduction of the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. In other respects, § 437 BGB shall apply.
9.5 With respect to any claims for damages due to product defects, the legal provisions shall apply.
9.6 A prerequisite for warranty claims is that the defect did not arise due to improper use or overstraining. If a defect only appears more than 6 months after delivery, the customer must provide proof that the item was faulty at the time of transfer of risk. Otherwise, it is within STARK Power GmbH’s discretion to provide proof that the item did not exhibit any material defects at the time of delivery.
10. Liability
10.1 STARK Power GmbH, its company management and its employees shall be liable for intent and gross negligence in instances of a positive violation of a contractual duty, default, impossibility, unauthorized activity and for other legal grounds (excluding pre-contractual violations). In the event that injuries to life, health or limb have culpably occurred, or in the event of culpable violation of cardinal duties (major contractual duties) or in the case of a malicious deception or claim for damages as per § 437 Item 2 BGB, STARK Power GmbH shall be liable within the limits of statutory regulations. Merely for a violation of cardinal duties, the liability for employees of STARK Power GmbH shall be limited to typical, foreseeable damages. The term cardinal duty is used to designate either a specifically described critical violation of duty that jeopardizes the achievement of the contractual purpose, or abstractly explained as a duty, the fulfilment of which makes it possible to even properly execute the contract in the first place and compliance with which the customer may always rely on. In case of default, the business customer shall also have the right to withdraw from the agreement instead of claiming damages.
10.2 In the event of a loss of data, STARK Power GmbH shall only be liable if the customer has verifiably backed up the databases on a regular basis, at least once a day. The liability for loss of data shall be limited to the cost of restoration if a backup copy is available, unless the loss of data was brought about intentionally or through gross negligence on the part of STARK Power GmbH. Apart from that, liability shall be excluded with the exception of cases of intent or gross negligence.
