If such notification is not received within such time-limit, Products shall be deemed accepted by Customer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.3.<\/strong> \u00a0If the defect is discovered later on, it must be notified to PVF in writing within 10 days from its ascertainment at the latest (date of receipt). If no such notification is received by PVF within such time-limit, Products shall be deemed accepted by Customer despite the defect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.4.<\/strong> \u00a0If, during the check, Customer finds out that too high or too small quantities of Products have been delivered, the excess or deficit number of Products must be notified to PVF in writing within 10 days from delivery (date of receipt).<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.5.<\/strong> \u00a0Before any further processing in series of Products, Customer shall check on a suficient sample whether Products are defect-free and fit for such furtherprocessing. Any ascertained defects must be notified to PVF in writing within 10 days from discovery, at the latest (date of receipt), thereby describing the defect(s) in detail and indicating PVF \u0301s order number.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. Customer\u2018s warranty rights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>11.1.<\/strong> \u00a0Any minor or insignificant deviation or modification as compared with the catalogue description or samples, or with products delivered in the past shall not be deemed to be defects. The indications made on Products in PVF \u0301s catalogues, leaflets, and price lists are only descriptions, designations or standard values and must not be understood as their representation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.2.<\/strong> \u00a0Any guarantee of qualities of Products or exclusion of deviations usual in trade must be expressly agreed upon in writing in each individual case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.3<\/strong> The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of Products. This shall not apply in the case of wilful misconduct or fraudulent intent or if PVF has assumed a warranty for the quality of the products. The foregoing shall not affect the statutory page 5 of 6 limitation period for products which were used in building work in accordance with their usual\u00a0purpose and which have caused the defectiveness of such building work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.4.<\/strong> \u00a0Customer shall not be entitled to claim any warranty right for defects that have not been notified to PVF in due time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.5<\/strong> PVF \u0301s warranty shall apply only to such defects\u00a0arising under operating conditions as provided in the contract and proper use of the Products. PVF shall neither be liable for improper installation, cleaning, handling of Products, nor if unsuitable cleaning or operating equipment is used, nor for normal wear and tear. The same shall apply if Customer or any third party makes improper\u00a0changes to, maintenance work on or any other changes to Products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.6.<\/strong> \u00a0PVF \u0301s liability for defects of Products or services, including the lack of expressly guaranteed qualities, shall be subject to the following clauses, excluding any further claims of Customer, however notwithstanding the claims provided in clause 8 and\u00a0clause 12 hereof:<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.6.1.<\/strong> \u00a0Defective products which prove to be useless or the use of which is impaired to a not unsubstantial extent within one year from delivery as a result of a defect already existing at the passage of risk shall be, at PVF \u0301s reasonable discretion, either repaired free of charge or replaced by a corresponding new product. In order to be able to carry out the necessary repairs or substitute delivery, Customer must grant PVFL reasonable time, at least 2 weeks, and allow PVF to do such repair or effect substitute delivery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.6.2.<\/strong> \u00a0Repairs shall be made at Customers location or in PVF \u0301s factory, at PVF \u0301s choice. Any transport costs thereby incurred shall be at PVF \u0301s expense. However, Customer shall be bound to choose the least expensive transport mode.<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>11.6.3.<\/strong> Customer shall be entitled to request that such repair be made outside PVF \u0301s factory, if, when weighing either parties justified interests, Customer\u2018s interest in an on-site defect removal predominates, and Customer bears the excess cost of such on-site repair as compared with a repair in PVF \u0301s factory. If such on-site repair, as compared with a repair in PVF \u0301s factory, results in a substantial reduction of the incurred damage, PVF shall assume a reasonable share of the aforementioned excess cost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.6.4.<\/strong> Customer must grant PVF at least three repair trials. If the repair nally fails, Customer, at its choice, shall be entitled to rescind the contract or request a reasonable reduction of the purchase price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12. Exclusion of liability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>12.1.<\/strong> PVF as well as its servants shall only be liable to the extent provided by compulsory statutory regulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12.2.<\/strong> Any claim for damages against PVF or its servants, regardless of their legal basis, shall be excluded. Such exclusion shall not apply in the case of wilful misconduct, gross negligence, violation of a contractual duty being material in order to attain the purpose of the contract, as well as in the case of an injury to the life, body or health of persons. Customers claims as provided in clause 8 shall remain unaffected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. Written form<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any oral promise of PVF \u0301s agents or other members of PVF \u0301s supporting staff shall be subject to PVF \u0301s written confirmation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. Right of rescission<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>14.1<\/strong>. If, after confirmation of the order or conclusion of the contract, justified doubts as to Customers credit standing arise, PVF shall be entitled to demand either cash payment or provision of a security before delivery of the ordered Products, at PVF \u0301s choice. If Customer does not comply, PVF shall be entitled to rescind the contract and claim refund of the costs incurred so far thereunder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14.2.<\/strong> Customer shall not be entitled to such contractual right of rescission, unless expressly agreed otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15. Governing law<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>15.1.<\/strong> These General Terms and Conditions and Contracts closed between the Parties thereunder shall be exclusively governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15.2.<\/strong> However, application of the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall be excluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16.
