I. Application of these General Conditions
All deliveries and other services of skysupply GmbH (thereafter called “skysupply”) are exclusively based on the following General Terms and Conditions. General terms and conditions of the customer deviating therefrom are herewith not accepted. They have also no effectiveness even if skysupply does not expressively protest them again after their receipt and knowledge and carries out delivery and services without further reservations of these general conditions.

II. Delivery
1. Indications of delivery dates are only approximately applicable, unless skysupply confirms a definite delivery date in writing. Time of contract conclusion is generally decisive for the beginning of the agreed delivery period. There is no delay of delivery unless the customer has not fulfilled the contractual obligations or the duties to cooperate assumed by him in time, in particular, if he does not provide or cause to be provided approvals, releases, other documents or further prerequisites necessary for orderly contractual performance within the time agreed upon. In these cases, the delivery period agreed upon shall begin not before complete fulfilment of the customer’s obligations.

2. If skysupply is in arrears with a service, the customer must grant an adequate extended period for orderly performance. Only after the fruitless expiry of this extended period is the customer entitled to withdraw from the contract by means of a written declaration. Damage claims against skysupply due to delay or non-performance including interest in arrears are excluded unless they are based on wilful intent or gross negligence. Required expenses for orderly subsequent performance are on skysupply’s cost.

3. skysupply is entitled to carry out partial deliveries or partial services unless partial performance is against the customer’s concern due to the contractual content. This, however, does not affect the customer’s rights to completely withdraw from the contract or to demand damages due to a more than unessential breach of contract even after partial fulfilment on part ofskysupply. Damage claims due to partial delivery or partial service are excluded unless partial delivery or partial service is based on wilful intent or gross negligence by skysupply.

4. If a call-off or pick-up period for the customer has passed or if the customer has not accepted a delivery or service despite skysupply’s request to do so, skysupply shall be entitled to claim for damages due to late performance and, after granting an adequate extended period, to withdraw from the whole contract and claim for damages due to the breach of contract.

5. Instead of compensating the real damage cased by the customer’s breach of contract, skysupply is entitled to claim 15 % of the total order value (without value added tax). skysupply is entitled to assert higher evidenced damages and the customer has the right to give proof of the fact that the damage incurred is lower than the lump-sum calculated.

6. Expenses for transport of the ordered goods are in all cases at the customer’s cost. The risks in connection with the contractual object are transferred to the customer upon dispatch. If dispatch is delayed without skysupply’s fault, the risk will be transferred to the customer upon preparation of the goods and notification of the readiness for collection. If the delay is based on a violation of one of the customer’s obligations, skysupply will be entitled to store the contractual object at the customer’s cost or to effect delivery at the customer’s risk.

7. skysupply reserves the right to perform excess or short deliveries of a maximum of 5 % of the quantity ordered if this is unavoidable for technical reasons or only avoidable under expenditure of substantial additional costs and if the excess or short delivery is acceptable to the customer .

3. All further damage claims – no matter for which legal causes – are herewith excluded. This also applies to liability for consequential damages, i.e. for all damages which have not occurred in the delivery itself. This exclusion of liability shall not apply to cases of wilful intent or gross negligence, of violation of material contractual duties or of violation of physical integrity, health or life on part of skysupply.
