VII. Warranty

1. The purchaser shall examine the delivery immediately after delivery for its freedom from defects and check it for completeness and notify the seller of any defects discovered in writing without delay, but no later than within 14 calendar days. In case of no notification, the delivered goods shall be deemed accepted by the purchaser, unless the defect was not apparent during the investigation.

This does not apply insofar as statutory provisions mandate a longer limitation period. In cases in which the liability of the Seller according to §VII of these Terms and Conditions is unlimited, the statutory limitation periods apply exclusively.
7. The Seller in particular accepts no warranty for damages caused by unsuitable and improper use, incorrect assembly or commissioning by the Buyer or third parties, natural wear and tear, incorrect or negligent treatment, chemical, electrochemical or electrical influences.

   b) In case of gross negligence by bodies and its managing staff,
   c) In case of culpable violation of life, body or health,

   e) In case of delivered item defects to the extent as liability is provided under the German Product Liability Act for personal injury and property damage in relation to privately used items.
2. This liability limitation shall not apply to cases where liability is mandatory, such as in cases subject to the German Product Liability Act, in the event of intent, gross neglect of the statutory representatives or executives of the company or in the event of culpable violation of cardinal contractual obligations. In the case of a slightly negligent breach of cardinal obligations by the seller, its legal representatives, employees or other vicarious agents, the liability of the seller for all contractual, extra-contractual and other claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses, regardless of their legal nature, is limited to foreseeable damages typical for the contract. The buyer acknowledges that the amount owed according to §IV of these Terms and Conditions represents the contract-typical and foreseeable damage under this contract.
3. Further claims are excluded.

IX. Extended retention of title

1. The Buyer reserves retention of title to the goods delivered until the complete payment of all claims, including all fees and additional costs.
2. The Buyer may neither pledge the delivered goods subject to a retention of title nor collateralize them without consent of the Seller. In case of attachments or any other interventions by third parties, the Buyer shall immediately notify such third party of the Seller’s rights of retention. The Buyer shall inform the Seller in writing and hand over all relevant information and documentation.
3. In case that the Buyer acts contrary to the contract – especially concerning late payment – the Seller shall be entitled to take back the retained goods or, where appropriate, demand the Buyer’s surrender claims against third parties, if necessary.
4. Due to the retention of title, the Seller can demand surrender of the delivery item only after withdrawing from the contract.
5. The Buyer shall be entitled to resell the goods that are subject to retention of title within ordinary course of business. The Buyer’s claims arising from the resale of the retained goods shall be herewith transferred to LONG-TIME-LINER® Conture® Make-up GmbH which hereby accepts such assignment. This assignment shall apply irrespective of whether the retained goods were resold without or after processing. The Buyer shall be entitled to collect the claim even after the assignment. The Seller’s authority to collect claims by himself shall remain unaffected hereby. However, the Seller shall be obliged not to collect the claims as long as the Buyer fulfills his payment obligations, is not in default of payment, no petition has been filed for the opening of bankruptcy proceedings with regards to the Buyer’s assets and the Buyer has not discontinued his payments.

X. Provided documents (copyright)

1. The buyer assures that all intellectual property rights of the seller remain untouched and assures that he will not attack or challenge them in the future.
2. Except for the contractual Products provided by the Seller, the Buyer is not entitled to use the name of the Company, the “LONG-TIME-LINER®” trademark or any other intellectual property rights belonging to the Seller, whether registered or not, without prior written permission by the seller. Nothing in this Agreement may create a license to the buyer.
3. The Buyer shall not take any action which could have a detrimental effect on the rights of the Seller or which could jeopardize or invalidate its registration.

2. Place of fulfilment and sole court of jurisdiction shall be Munich.
3. For non-commercial Buyers the legally statutory terms and conditions apply.
