3 Conclusion of Contract

3.1 A Contract enters into force when both Contracting Parties have legitimately signed it or when the Customer has approved a binding Offer. A Contract on a one-time deal enters into force when the Seller has approved an Order or the Seller has actually started to carry out an Order.

proved the Customer's terms in advance.

3.2 The Customer shall approve or reject each Offer by the deadline specified in the Offer or, if there is no such deadline in the Offer, within ten (10) Weekdays of the Seller having sent the Offer. If the Customer approves the Offer, the Offer is considered approved as is. If the Customer fails to notify the Seller of its approval by the deadline as specified above, the Customer shall be considered to have rejected the Offer, at which time the

Offer (also including binding offers) is no longer binding on the Seller.

4 Contract validity

4.1 A Contract enters into force when the conditions on conclusion of Contract listed in Clause 3 are met and, unless the Contracting Parties have agreed to the contrary in Writing, will remain in force until further notice with for a maximum period of two (2) years and with a mutual term of notice of six (6) months. The validity of a Contract on a one-time deal ceases when both Contracting Parties have met their contractual obligations.

5.1 The Seller guarantees that the quality of Products at the time of delivery comply with at least the Specifications. The Seller does not offer any other Product guarantee, neither explicit nor implicit, nor can the Seller be held liable for the Product's fitness for a particular purpose nor for any purpose for which the Products or similar products are usually used.

6 Modifying products

6.1 During the validity of the Contract, the Seller has the right to switch or discontinue Products or revise their Specifications by submitting a notice to that effect on the Seller's Website or in a similar manner at the latest one (1) month prior to entry into force of the modifications.

7.6 Furthermore, also without informing the Customer, the Seller has the right to revise the agreed selling price (i) due to pricing-related issues the Seller is unable to influence, such as changed exchange rates, Laws, tax-like charges, taxation policies, or international acquisition prices of raw materials or products, or (ii) if changes occur in production, shipping, or transport costs or the general cost level. The Seller shall apply the new prices immediately after the change having become effective.

7.7 The selling price does not include the value added tax applicable at the time of delivery nor any other extra charges based on the Law, such as oil waste charges applied to lubricants. The currently valid value added tax and any extra charges based on the Law shall be added to the selling price in connection with invoicing; they shall be visible in the invoice used to charge the selling price. The value added tax and any other extra charges based on the Law shall be paid in compliance with the terms of payment laid down in the Contract simultaneously with the selling price.
