2.1.2. Only customers may make such a binding purchase offer. By so doing, they consent to these terms and conditions.

2.1.3. Only when SCHILLING-MED accepts the customer's binding purchase offer is a contract concluded between the parties.

2.1.4. SCHILLING-MED is under no obligation to accept the customer's purchase offer and may exercise this right without stating any reason.

3.2.

4.2. If the customer definitively refuses to fulfill the contract or fails to accept the contract goods in full or in part after the expiry of the contractually agreed period (provided it was not entitled to do so), SCHILLING-MED is likewise entitled to withdraw from the contract.

5. Collection by the customer, transfer of risk 

5.1. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties in writing, the customer is responsible for collecting the contractual goods.

5.2. The customer will be notified when the order is ready for collection. The customer is then obligated to collect the same within 10 days of receiving said notice.

If the customer fails to collect the contractual goods within the aforementioned deadline, SCHILLING-MED reserves the right to withdraw from the purchase contract or to ship the goods to the customer at the customer's expense, in which case the rules for purchases subsequently shipped in §6 apply, in particular that the risk of deterioration or loss of the contract goods is transferred to the customer from the time SCHILLING-MED places the goods in transit. In addition, the provisions of §4.2 apply as appropriate. The customer shall also bear any resulting storage fees in these cases. Unless the customer proves that lower costs have been incurred, these charges are set at 1% of the sales value of the goods to be stored per month commenced.                  

5.4. The risk passes to the customer upon handover or as stipulated in §6.5.

7.1. All offers submitted or prices otherwise communicated by SCHILLING MED are non-binding. Insofar as the prices communicated or provided by SCHILLING-MED are part of the contract, these always exclude the statutory VAT and any freight and customs costs, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.

7.2. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the invoice amount is due for payment within 30 calendar days from the availability of the goods for collection or their dispatch (if shipment of the order was agreed). A payment is deemed timely if it is credited to SCHILLING-MED's account by the agreed date.                                                                                                

7.3. After expiry of the payment period, the customer is in default and shall bear any damage caused by such default, such as collection costs, interest, and legal fees.

7.4. If, after the conclusion of this contract, SCHILLING-MED is able to prove that the customer will be or is likely to be unable to pay its invoice due to a lack of funds or this becomes public information or otherwise obvious, SCHILLING-MED is entitled to deliver or hand over any outstanding orders against advance payment or security. If the advance payment or security has not been provided within a reasonable deadline, SCHILLING-MED has the right to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part at its discretion. In addition, §4.2 applies accordingly.

8. Retention of title and extended retention of title 

8.1. Until complete payment is received, the goods remain the property of SCHILLING-MED. This retention of title continues until the customer proves that the goods have been paid in full. 

8.2. Until such time as title is transferred, the following applies: 

8.2.1. The customer is obliged to handle the purchased items with care. In particular, the customer is obliged to provide insurance cover for the goods at its own expense against theft, fire, and water damage at a value corresponding to their sale price.

8.2.2. The customer agrees to store goods already received in a professional manner such that preserves their sterility and its warranty claims against SCHILLING MED and to ship the same properly as necessary. Such storage and shipping must comply with the following requirements to be deemed proper: When storing, transporting, or opening the sterile barrier system, all risks of contamination must be limited as best as possible and according to the latest state of knowledge by choosing suitable packaging, observing all storage conditions for sterile goods, in particular ensuring the storage is dry, either dust-free or low-dust, protected from light, protected against damage, and protected against mechanical influences. Storage and transportation take place at max. 25°C (77°F) and must be protected against extreme temperature fluctuations and kept separated from non-sterile products as well as clean and free from vermin. All storage rooms and areas including all adjoining walls, the floor, and the ceiling must be smooth, easy to clean, and disinfect, i.e. wipe resistant. They must be free from cracks and paint must not be peeling. To ensure that the floor is properly cleaned, the lowest level of a shelf must have at least 30 cm (12 inches) clearance from the floor.        

8.2.3. Furthermore, the customer must immediately inform SCHILLING-MED in writing if the delivered item is seized or subjected to other interventions by third parties. Insofar as the third party is unable to reimburse SCHILLING-MED for the court and out-of-court expenses of a third-party objection claim, the customer shall be liable for any loss in this respect. 

8.2.4. The customer is entitled to resell the goods for which SCHILLING-MED still retains the title in the normal course of its business. The customer hereby assigns to SCHILLING-MED any resulting accounts receivable up to the gross invoice amount. SCHILLING-MED hereby accepts the assignment. This assignment shall apply regardless of whether the purchased goods have been resold before or after being processed.

8.2.5. The customer remains entitled to collect the receivables even after this assignment. but SCHILLING-MED's right to do the same remains unaffected. SCHILLING-MED will not collect the receivables as long as the customer is not in default, unless the provisions under §7.4 apply.

8.2.6. Any treatment or processing of the goods by the customer are always made on behalf of SCHILLING-MED. In this case, the customer's contingent remainder in the processed article remains. If the goods are processed with other items not belonging to SCHILLING-MED, SCHILLING-MED acquires joint ownership of the new item in proportion to the objective value of its product to the other items included at the time of processing. 

8.2.7. The same applies in the case of mixing. If the mixing is done in such a way that the customer's item is to be regarded as the main item, the customer will grant proportional joint ownership to SCHILLING-MED and preserve the same. To secure SCHILLING-MED's claims against the customer, the customer also assigns to it such accounts receivable against a third party that arise from the incorporation of its goods into the new product. SCHILLING-MED accepts this assignment.

8.3. The customer shall undertake all measures to secure and document the retention of title, insofar as this is necessary in order to safeguard the rights of SCHILLING-MED, in particular according to the regulations of foreign legal systems. 

8.4. SCHILLING-MED is obliged to release its continuing security interests to the extent that the scope of the security exceeds the claim secured by more than 25%. 

9. Warranty claims, duty to inspect and provide notice of defects, exclusion periods 

9.1. All warranty claims depend on the immediate inspection of the goods upon receipt and subsequent immediate notice of any defects as defined in §11.1. They likewise depend on the customer's compliance with all its obligations as described in §§8.2.1. and 8.2.2.

9.2. Subject to §9.1. above, the customer is also able to assert its statutory warranty claims in accordance with the following provisions: 

9.2.1. In the event of defects, SCHILLING-MED initially has the right to supplementary performance within a reasonable period of time. A reasonable period is usually at least 14 days.

9.2.2. This supplementary performance shall consist of remedy or replacement, at SCHILLING-MED's discretion.

9.2.3. If a replacement item is delivered, the customer is obliged to return the defective item at SCHILLING-MED's expense within 14 days after receipt of the replacement item.

9.2.4. Defective goods are also excluded from all warranty claims if the customer has failed to comply with the provisions on storage and other conduct in §§8.2.1. and 8.2.2., unless otherwise proven by the customer.

9.2.5. With regard to customer warranty claims, every partial delivery is deemed to be an independent service of SCHILLING-MED.

9.3. The assignment of warranty claims by the customer is excluded.

9.4. Contrary to §438 para. 1 no. 3 BGB, the general limitation period for claims arising from material and legal defects is hereby set as one year from the date the risk is transferred to the customer per §5.4. or §6.5.
