In the event of a breach of the obligation to examine and give notice of defects, warranty claims based on the defect in question are excluded. § 377 HGB applies additionally.

11. Defects

11.1. The exclusion of deviations customary in the industry requires an express written agreement. The same applies to any guarantees. Minor, insignificant deviations of the delivered goods from samples, catalogues, brochures and price lists etc. or goods delivered earlier are not considered defects. The customer must check for himself whether the goods ordered are suitable for the intended purpose. Unsuitable goods are only defective if AHRNDT has confirmed their suitability to the customer in writing. The wear and tear of wearing parts in the context of normal traffic does not constitute a defect.

11.2. If assembly, installation, sales or maintenance instructions are not followed, changes are made to the delivered goods, parts are replaced or materials or cleaning or care products are used that do not comply with the manufacturer's specifications, claims for defects only exist if the customer can prove that the the defect was not caused by this, but was already present at the time of the transfer of risk.

11.3. AHRNDT is liable to the customer for the fact that their newly manufactured products are free from manufacturing and material defects and otherwise have the quality agreed in the order confirmation.

11.4. If newly manufactured delivery goods have not yet been delivered to a consumer, justified and proper notifications of defects oblige AHRNDT to choose whether to remedy the defects by rectification or to redeliver the delivery item or parts of the delivery item. If subsequent deliveries or improvements fail, the customer can only demand a reduction in payment or, at his option, withdraw from the contract. However, the right of withdrawal and any claim for damages in lieu of performance according to Section 12 of these provisions only exist if the defect is not insignificant.

11.5. Recognizable defects are to be reported by the customer immediately upon acceptance at the place of performance. Hidden defects must be reported immediately upon discovery. Notices of defects must contain a description of the defect that is as detailed as possible. A complaint that is not made in due time or form excludes any warranty claims by the customer.

11.6. If newly manufactured goods have already been delivered to a consumer, the purchaser is generally only entitled to assert those claims for defects against AHRNDT that his customer has asserted against him. This does not apply if the customer has accepted a goodwill obligation towards his customer that has not been agreed with AHRNDT. The customer is not entitled to withdraw from AHRNDT if he had to take back the goods because he did not properly comply with his right to supplementary performance, in particular because he culpably allowed a deadline set for supplementary performance to expire.

11.7. AHRNDT is only obliged to reimburse expenses according to Section 439 Paragraph 2 of the German Civil Code if the customer has previously informed AHRNDT in writing of the consumer’s request for supplementary performance, has informed AHRNDT of the intended type of supplementary performance and the approximate costs associated therewith and has not immediately objected to AHRNDT. The purchaser is obliged to heed suggestions from AHRNDT that mean a cheaper variant of supplementary performance.

11.8. The warranty for used delivered goods is excluded except in the case of guarantee, fraudulent intent or other agreements.

11.9. In principle, there is no warranty claim for the natural product leather, as this product is subject to natural properties. It can change in color and shape due to the weather, it can have different surface structures, for example due to scars, skin folds, etc. Therefore, the nature of the leather does not represent a defect.

11.10. For goods made to measure, the dimensioning that was made available to AHRNDT for the preparation of an offer applies. For the goods then manufactured, AHRNDT only guarantees the accuracy of fit with reference to these dimensions.

11.11. If AHRNDT violates non-performance-related obligations according to § 241 Paragraph 2 BGB, the customer only has a right of withdrawal and a claim for damages instead of performance beyond the legal requirements if the customer has warned AHRNDT in advance in writing and the breach of duty has not been omitted .

11.12. Claims due to defects become time-barred within two years for newly manufactured delivered goods and within one year for used delivered goods from delivery to the customer. For the rest, §§ 444 and 479 BGB remain unaffected.

11.13. If a defect cannot be found during the inspection after the customer has complained, the customer must bear the troubleshooting costs.

12. Limitation of Liability, Indemnification

12.1. If AHRNDT negligently violated an obligation that is essential for the fulfillment of the purpose of the contract, the amount of liability is limited to the damage typical of comparable transactions of this type, which were foreseeable when the contract was concluded or at the latest when the breach of duty was committed. § 444 BGB, claims for damages due to injury to life, limb and health as well as claims under the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.

12.2. AHRNDT cannot accept any liability for the unrestricted function of the airbag processed by AHRNDT.

12.3. Any other claims for damages are excluded. In particular, AHRNDT is not liable for damage caused to the delivery item itself, nor for consequential damage of any kind, nor is AHRNDT liable for lost profits or other financial losses on the part of the customer. The above exemption from liability does not apply if AHRNDT or its vicarious agents acted with intent or gross negligence.

12.4. Warranty claims and claims for damages of the customer that go beyond those specified in these conditions are excluded, regardless of the type and legal basis.

12.5. The liability of AHRNDT's vicarious agents is limited in the same way.

13. Final Provisions

13.1. AHRNDT may use third parties to fulfill its obligations

13.2. German law applies, the UN sales law is excluded

13.3. Should one of these provisions be or become wholly or partially legally invalid or unenforceable, a provision that comes closest to the economic purpose shall apply in place of this provision. The validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected

13.4. The exclusive place of jurisdiction in relation to registered traders and legal entities under public law or special funds under public law for all disputes arising from legal relationships between AHRNDT and the customer is the place of business of AHRNDT or, at the discretion of AHRNDT, the place of residence of the customer

13.5. Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, AHRNDT's place of business is the place of performance
