General terms and conditions of Allegra Movement GmbH
I. Validity/offers/termination
- These general terms and conditions apply to all - including future - contracts with entrepreneurs, legal entities under public law and special funds under public law for deliveries and other services, including work contracts, services, advice, suggestions and other ancillary services. The purchaser's purchasing conditions will not be recognized even if we do not expressly object to them again after they have been received by us.
- Our offers and information in connection with deliveries are subject to change. The offers published by Allegra Movement GmbH in the web shop do not constitute a contractual offer. An order from the customer via our web shop is considered an invitation to make a purchase offer to Allegra Movement GmbH. Allegra Movement GmbH also reserves the right to forward this invitation to make a purchase offer to the respective partner depending on the country and canton. Liability on our part is excluded in accordance with Section XVI Nos. 1 and 2. Verbal agreements, promises, assurances and guarantees made by our employees in connection with the conclusion of the contract only become binding upon our confirmation in text form. This particularly applies to directing work. The documents associated with our offers, such as drawings, illustrations, performance and consumption information, contain or are only approximate information and, unless otherwise provided, are not considered to be specially agreed properties. We reserve the right to make changes due to construction.
- We reserve ownership and copyright to cost estimates, drawings and all other documents; They may neither be made accessible to third parties nor used for their purposes.
- In case of doubt, the lncoterms in their most recent version are decisive for the interpretation of commercial clauses.
II. Prices
- The prices are exclusive of the legally applicable VAT.
- If duties or other third-party costs that are included in the agreed price change or arise later than four weeks after conclusion of the contract, we are entitled to change the price to the appropriate extent.
III. Payment and billing
- Billing takes place with each delivery/work/service in text form by email. This also applies to partial deliveries.
- Unless otherwise agreed or stated in our invoices, the remuneration is due immediately after delivery without any discount and is to be paid in such a way that we can dispose of the amount on the due date. The customer bears the costs of payment transactions. The customer is only entitled to a right of retention and offsetting to the extent that his counterclaims are undisputed or have been legally established.
- If the payment deadline is exceeded or in default, we charge interest amounting to 9% points above the respective base interest rate, unless higher interest rates have been agreed. The assertion of further damages remains reserved.
- The purchaser is in default no later than 30 days after the due date and receipt of the invoice/payment statement or the due date and receipt of the service. The customer is not in default as long as the service fails due to a circumstance for which he is not responsible.
- If it becomes apparent after conclusion of the contract that our claim to payment is at risk due to the purchaser's inability to perform, or if due invoices or agreed installments are not paid on time, loss of deadline is deemed to have been agreed. We are then also entitled to demand payment of all outstanding claims arising from the ongoing business relationship with the customer. Furthermore, these rights extend to all other outstanding deliveries, works and services from the business relationship with the customer. In addition, in the aforementioned cases, we are entitled to withdraw in accordance with the statutory provisions. If a withdrawal from the contract occurs for the aforementioned reasons, we are entitled, without prejudice to other claims, to demand a contractual penalty in the amount of 10% of the order sum leading to the withdrawal.
- An agreed discount always refers only to the invoice value, excluding freight, and requires that all of the purchaser's due liabilities have been settled in full at the time of the discount.
- Claims assigned to us by the customer against his insurers or other debtors are exclusively for the sake of performance.
IV. Execution of deliveries, delivery times and dates, assembly, acceptance
- Our delivery and assembly obligation is subject to correct and timely self-delivery, unless the incorrect or late self-delivery is our fault. The timely production of the work is also subject to the timely production of the preliminary work necessary for the production of the work by the purchaser, his vicarious agents and/or third parties. Any late production of necessary preliminary work will be at the expense of the purchaser, regardless of the reason for the delay, regardless of whether the purchaser is responsible for the delay.
- Delivery and assembly times are approximate. Delivery and assembly times begin on the date of our order confirmation and only apply provided that all details of the order are clarified in a timely manner and all obligations of the customer are fulfilled in a timely manner, such as: B.

It is irrelevant whether these circumstances occur with us, the supplier or a sub-supplier.

- For work services, the customer is obliged to accept the work immediately after completion.
