7.2 The warranty period is twelve months from transfer of risk. Longer statutory periods vis-à-vis consumers remain unaffected.
7.3 Defects arising from installation not performed by the Seller, non-observance of operating conditions, overload, natural wear or unauthorised modifications are excluded.
7.4 Duty to inspect and notify. The Buyer shall inspect the goods without delay upon receipt and give written notice of defects within eight days; hidden defects within eight days of discovery. Failing such notice, the goods are deemed approved (§ 377 Austrian Commercial Code / UGB).
7.5 Samples, prototypes and development work. For samples, prototypes, test parts and services rendered within development projects, no warranty is given as to fitness for any particular purpose. Such deliveries are made expressly for testing purposes; the Buyer shall verify and approve suitability for its application on its own responsibility.
7.6 No warranted characteristics. Statements regarding technical values, temperature resistance, dimensional accuracy or material properties are descriptions of performance, not warranted characteristics or guarantees in the legal sense, unless expressly designated as such in writing.
8. Intellectual property & know-how
8.1 For manufacture according to Buyer specifications, the Buyer indemnifies the Seller against claims of third parties arising from infringement of intellectual property rights.
8.2 All documents provided to the Buyer and the underlying technologies remain the Seller's intellectual property. Transfer or use for purposes other than those contractually agreed is prohibited without written consent.
8.3 The process applied and the underlying material composition are covered by a filed intellectual property position; further know-how and trade secrets are secured by technical and organisational measures. Neither the delivery of goods, the provision of services nor the handover of samples grants, expressly or by implication, any licence to the Seller's intellectual property rights or know-how.
8.4 Reverse engineering of the goods supplied, in particular analysis aimed at determining the material composition or process parameters, is prohibited without the Seller's prior written consent.
9. Liability
9.1 Liability exists only in the event of intent or gross negligence.
9.2 Total liability is limited to the net order value, but not more than EUR 50,000 — whichever is lower. The limitation applies to all claims arising from one order taken together.

9.4 Excluded are: liability for slight negligence, consequential damages, loss of profit, production downtime, data loss and pure financial losses.
9.5 The limitations of liability in this section do not apply to injury to life, body or health, to fraudulent concealment of defects, or in cases of mandatory statutory liability, in particular under the Austrian Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz, PHG).
9.6 Claims for damages become time-barred three years after the injured party becomes aware of the damage and the party liable, and in any event ten years after performance of the service.
10. Export control, sanctions and dual-use provisions
10.1 The supply of goods and the provision of services are subject to the proviso that performance is not prevented by national or international foreign trade law, in particular export control provisions, embargoes or other sanctions.
10.2 The Buyer acknowledges that the goods, technologies and documents supplied may fall within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2021/821 (Dual-Use Regulation). The Buyer undertakes to comply with all relevant national and international (re-)export provisions, in particular those of the European Union, the Republic of Austria (Foreign Trade Act 2011 / Außenwirtschaftsgesetz 2011) and the United States of America.
10.3 The Buyer warrants that the goods supplied will not be used, directly or indirectly, for purposes connected with the development, production, handling, maintenance or proliferation of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, or of delivery systems for such weapons (Art. 4 Regulation (EU) 2021/821, § 4 AußWG 2011).
10.4 End use. At the Seller's request, the Buyer shall provide an End-User Undertaking prior to delivery, stating the end recipient, the intended use and the place of use of the goods. Performance of the contract is subject to the granting of all required export, transfer and transit licences by the competent authorities. Any delay in or refusal of such licences gives rise to no claims on the part of the Buyer.
10.5 Sanctions screening. The Buyer warrants that neither the Buyer nor any person or entity holding an interest in, controlling, or controlled by the Buyer is listed on sanctions lists of the European Union (in particular Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 and Regulation (EU) No 833/2014), the United States (OFAC Specially Designated Nationals List) or the United Kingdom (OFSI Consolidated List). The Buyer shall inform the Seller without delay of any change in this respect.
10.6 Onward transfer. Any transfer of the goods, technologies or documents supplied to third parties requires the Seller's prior written consent where such transfer involves an export, intra-Union transfer or transit. The Buyer shall impose the obligations of this section on every subsequent acquirer.
10.7 Withdrawal. Should the Buyer breach the obligations of this section, or should there be substantiated indications of an imminent breach, the Seller is entitled to withdraw from the contract without setting a grace period and to suspend ongoing deliveries and services with immediate effect. Claims for damages or other claims by the Buyer arising from such withdrawal are excluded. The Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Seller harmless against all disadvantages arising from a breach of this section by the Buyer.
11. Data protection
Processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR. For details see our Privacy Policy.
12. Compliance & anti-corruption
Both parties undertake to comply with all applicable anti-corruption laws, in particular the provisions of the Austrian Criminal Code.
13. General
Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. They shall be replaced by an economically equivalent, valid provision. The German-language version is authoritative.
14. Jurisdiction & applicable law
Exclusive place of jurisdiction is the court with substantive competence in Lilienfeld or St. Pölten, Austria. Austrian law applies, excluding conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
