8.2 If you place your order with DasKaugummi as a businessperson, the following Sections 8.2.1 – 8.2.4 apply:

8.2.1 The customer is obligated to inspect delivered goods upon receipt without undue delay, provided such inspection is reasonable within the proper course of business. The customer is obligated to promptly notify DasKaugummi, if the customer identifies any defects. If the customer fails to give proper notice to DasKaugummi, the goods are deemed accepted, unless the defect could not be identified within the course of the inspection (hidden defect). If such hidden defect is identified at a later date, the customer is obligated to promptly notify DasKaugummi upon discovery of the defect. Should the customer fail to give proper notice to DasKaugummi, the goods are deemed accepted in-spite of such hidden defect. Section 377 HGB [German Commercial Code] remains unaffected. The customer is not released from its obligation to inspect, even if recourse is available to the customer according to Section 478 German Civil Code [BGB]. Regarding the aforementioned cases, the goods are deemed accepted in-spite of such defect, if the customer fails to promptly notify DasKaugummi of a defect claimed by one of its customers.

8.2.2 In the case of a defect, DasKaugummi is entitled to determine the kind of subsequent performance under consideration of the defect nature and the justified interests of the customer. In the case of these agreements, subsequent performance is deemed failed after the third unsuccessful attempt. This Section does not apply in the case of recourse according to Section 478 German Civil Code [BGB].

8.2.3 In the case of subsequent performance for the remedy of defects, DasKaugummi is only obligated to assume required expenses, in particular expenses for transportation, travel, labor and materials, if such expenses are not increased through the relocation of the goods from the delivery site other than the seat or the commercial establishment of the customer. This Section does not apply in the case of recourse according to Section 478 German Civil Code [BGB].

8.2.4 The customer’s claims for defects, including damage claims, become time-barred after one year. This above provision does not apply in the case of recourse according to Section 478 German Civil Code [BGB]. The above provision does also not apply in the case of damage claims arising from injuries to life, body or health or based on a gross negligent or intentional violation of duties by DasKaugummi or its vicarious agents.

Section 9 Liability for Damages and Reimbursement of Expenses

9.1 If you are a consumer and your order placed with DasKaugummi is for purposes that are not attributable to your commercial or professional activities, DasKaugummi is liable according to the law.

9.2 If you place your order with DasKaugummi as a businessperson, the following Sections 9.2 – 9.8 apply to DasKaugummi contractual liability for damages:

9.2.1 DasKaugummi is liable according to the law for claims arising from an intentional violation of duties by DasKaugummi, its representatives or its vicarious agents. DasKaugummi liability for claims arising from a violation of contractual obligations that is not intentional is limited to the foreseeable and typical damage for such agreements.

9.2.2 In the event DasKaugummi, its representatives or its vicarious agents are at fault for violating a duty, whose performance is a prerequisite for the proper execution of the agreement, whose violation puts the attainment of the agreement’s purpose at risk and upon whose compliance the customer routinely relies – and liability according to the law in terms of Section 9.1 does not apply – DasKaugummi’s liability is limited to the foreseeable and typical damage for such agreements.

9.2.3 DasKaugummi’s liability for damages is excluded, unless provided otherwise in Sections 9.2.1 and 9.2.2. The same applies, if claims to recourse are asserted by customers in the role of a supplier against DasKaugummi according to Section 478 German Civil Code [BGB].

9.3 Exclusions and limitations of liability in Section 9.2 also apply to any other claims, in particular to claims in tort or to claims for reimbursement of expenses in lieu of performance.

9.4 The exclusions and limitations of liability in Section 9.2 do not apply to any claims according to Sections 1, 4 German Product Liability Act [Produkthaftungsgesetz] or to claims arising from intentional or negligent injuries to life, body or health. These exclusions and limitations of liability also do not apply, if DasKaugummi assumed a guarantee for the quality of the goods provided by DasKaugummi or DasKaugummi assumed contractual performance or the risk to procure suitable goods and the guarantee event occurred or the risk to procure suitable goods materialized.

9.5 DasKaugummi is only liable for the assumption of the risk to procure suitable goods, if DasKaugummi expressly assumed the risk to procure suitable goods in writing

9.6 If the limitation of liability according to Section 9.2 is not applicable to any claims arising from the manufacturer’s liability according to Section 823 German Civil Code [BGB], DasKaugummi’s liability is limited to the compensation provided by the insurer. If the insurer does not provide full compensation or no compensation, DasKaugummi is liable up to the coverage amount. This Section does not apply to claims arising from intentional or negligent injuries to life, body or health.

9.7 To the extent DasKaugummi’s liability is excluded or limited, such exclusion or limitation also applies to the individual liability of DasKaugummi employees, workers, representatives and vicarious agents.

9.8 The above provisions do not constitute a reversal of the burden of proof.

Section 10 Reservation of Title, Offsetting, Right of Retention

10.1 In the case of consumers, DasKaugummi retains title to the purchased goods until the invoiced amount is paid in full.

10.2 If you are a businessperson acting in the exercise of your commercial or independent professional activities, a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law, DasKaugummi retains title to the purchased goods until all open claims of DasKaugummi from the business relationship with you are paid in full. The respective security interests may be transferred to third parties. If the purchase price is not paid in full, you are obligated to notify DasKaugummi in writing without undue delay, if the goods are being encumbered with third party rights or the goods are subject to other encroachments of third parties. You are entitled to resell goods, which are subject to reservation of title, within the scope of ordinary business. In this case, the customer hereby assigns to DasKaugummi all claims arising from such resale irrespective of if the resale takes place prior to or after any processing of the goods, which are subject to reservation of title. Regardless of DasKaugummi’s right to collect such claims, you remain authorized to collect such claims also after the above assignment. In this connection, DasKaugummi undertakes to refrain from collecting such claims as long as and to the extent you meet your payment obligations to DasKaugummi, an application for the opening of insolvency proceedings or similar proceedings is not filed and you have not declared cessation of payments. Should the aforementioned collaterals exceed DasKaugummi’s respective claims by more than 10%, DasKaugummi is obligated, at its option, to release collaterals at your request.

10.3 In Relation to Businesspersons the following applies: You are only entitled to offset against counter-claims, if your counter-claims are uncontested or recognized by declaratory judgment. In addition, you are only entitled to a right of retention, if and to the extent your counter-claim is based on the same contractual relationship.

10.4 In the event the customer defaults with its payments to DasKaugummi, all existing claims of DasKaugummi against the customer become due immediately.

13.3 In relation to consumers, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the purchase object passes to the customer first upon delivery according to the law. The following provision only applies if the customer acts as a businessperson: Delivery is ex warehouse. The risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods passes to the customer upon transfer of the goods to the customer at the latest.
