5.4 SATA will only assume a quality risk if an agreement has been concluded in writing, using the term "SATA shall assume the quality risk for ..."

In case of non-payment, the Customer shall enter payment default either on the day following the issuing of a warning or, should no warning be issued, 30 days following the due date for payment and receipt of an invoice.

If a party provides substantial evidence that it cannot reasonably accept such an extension, it is entitled to withdraw from the contract, without the right to any claims for damages, in so far as the contract has not yet been fulfilled. Any further claims are excluded.

8.3 For damages caused by delay SATA is liable for slight negligence in the amount of up to 5 (five) % of the contractual remuneration/of the repair costs.

SATA may make subsequent performance dependent on payment of at least 50% of the remuneration or an appropriate part thereof, taking into account the defect. Within the scope of subsequent performance, SATA shall not be obliged to reimburse the customer for the necessary expenses for removing the defective product and for installing or attaching the repaired or delivered defect-free product. After the subsequent performance has failed twice, the customer may reduce the agreed remuneration or, in the event of a significant breach of duty, withdraw from the contract and, if necessary, demand damages in accordance with Clause 11. In addition, the customer also has the supplementary right to remedy the defect himself and to demand reimbursement of the necessary expenses.

10.4 If the Customer asserts warranty claims he must notify SATA of defects which have occurred immediately after they have been discovered and do everything in his power to minimize any damage caused by a defect.

10.5 Should the Customer be an entrepreneur as defined in § 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the limitation period for the assertion of claims is one year following delivery.

11 Liability

11.1 SATA and its legal representatives and vicarious agents are liable only for intent or gross negligence. Insofar as essential contractual obligations (obligations that are of particular importance for the achievement of the purpose of the contract) are affected, SATA is also liable for ordinary negligence. The liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage. In the event of a grossly negligent breach of non-essential contractual obligations, SATA shall only be liable to the Costumer in the amount of the foreseeable, contract-typical damage. Otherwise, liability due to other losses which are caused in simple negligence and liability towards entrepreneurs due to loss of profit, additional personnel expenses on the part of the Customer, usage breakdown of use and/or loss of revenues is excluded. The provision in Number 10.2 shall remain unaffected.

11.3 Where possible, the Customer shall be obliged to immediately notify SATA of any losses which come under the liability provisions above in text form or to have these recorded by SATA, so that SATA is informed as early as possible and has the option of carrying out loss mitigation with the Customer which has suffered the loss.

11.4 The restrictions of Number 11.1 shall also apply in favour of the legal representatives and vicarious agents of SATA, should claims be brought against these directly.

11.5 Should liability for losses caused not due to injury to life, body or health, fraudulent acts, under a guarantee or under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) not be excluded in case of simple negligence, such claims against entrepreneurs shall be time barred one year after the claim arising.
