Offsetting is also deemed legitimate, when a counterclaim justifying a right of retention as defined by clause 2 is based on a claim for damages.####IV. Delay##If the contractual partner delays any payment, H+W is entitled to charge default interest amounting to 8 % over the respective base interest rate p. a. If H+W is capable of proving greater damage due to the default, H+W is entitled to exercise a claim for the same.

Delivery/Delivery deadlines##Delivery deadlines shall be extended to a reasonable extent for action in the context of industrial disputes, particularly strikes and lock-outs as well as the occurrence of other unforeseeable hindrances, which are beyond the control of H+W, provided such hindrances can be verifiably be shown to have a significant impact on the production or delivery of the delivery item.

If the contractual partner is a contractor as defined by § 24 p. 1 No. 1 General Terms and Conditions Act or a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the software shall remain the property of H+W pending receipt of all payments pursuant to the business relationship with Customer.##2. The claim of the contractual partner to any resales of the conditional commodity is herewith assigned to H+W. They shall be utilised as collateral in the same manner as the conditional commodity. If the conditional commodity is sold by the contractual partner along with other goods H+W have not delivered, the assignment of the receivable from such resale transactions shall only apply to the amount of the resale value of the respectively sold conditional commodity.##3. Any third party access to the goods and claims belonging to H+W shall be immediately notified by the contractual partner.##Where reference is made in this clause to ownership, this applies correspondingly for the transfer of usage rights/licence rights for the software product, and these rights shall thus only be transferred subject to a condition precedent.######VII. Liability for defects/Liability limitation/Time-barring####The contractual parties agree that it is not possible to develop programs such that they will work perfectly under all conditions of use. This agreement does not affect the obligation of the user to process the program in an optimal way.##The statutory warranty conditions shall apply, unless otherwise specified elsewhere.##The scope of any claims for rectification shall be limited to the subsequent delivery of a new program / or reworking. In the event of failure to rectify, the contractual partner may reduce the price or withdraw from the contract. The claim for damages due to defective performance is – subject to 6. - excluded.##All warranty rights are excluded, if obvious defects are not signalled within a deadline of two weeks from delivery of the program. In this case, the timely transmission of the complaint within the specified grace period is sufficient for compliance. The burden of proof to show receipt remains unaffected. § 377 German Commercial Code remains unaffected.##If the contractual partner is a contractor, claims for defects shall be time-barred in one year. The relevant legal provisions apply for the start of statutory limitation.##For damages resulting from the destruction of life, personal injury or health damages, H+W accepts liability in accordance with the legal provisions. For other damage – subject to clause 3 – liability shall only be admitted for intent and gross negligence of the user, or his/her statutory agent or assistant or vicarious agent. For other damage caused by negligence, which arises due to infringement of a key contractual obligation, H+W shall also be liable, limited, however, to foreseeable damage in such cases. The liability pursuant to the Product Liability Act remains unaffected by the existing regulations.####VIII. Verbal ancillary agreements##Any modifications made to the contract must be made in writing. There are no verbal ancillary agreements.######IX. Place of performance/Place of jurisdiction/##Applicable law####If Customer is a businessperson, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, Tostedt shall be the place of jurisdiction. The same applies if the contractual partner has no general domestic place of jurisdiction.##Clause 1 does not apply if the legal dispute concerns any claims other than those involving an economic interest or when a single place of jurisdiction is established for the case.##5. The place of performance for delivery and payment is Buchholz, the registered office of H+W. ####The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall govern all legal relationships between H+W and Customer with the exception of the Vienna Sales Convention 1980 (CISG), even if Customer has registered his/her company overseas.
