A.  General quotations, orders, documentation

Our sales are affected under the following conditions based on general principles of the law. Even in cases where our customer by means of printed forms declare that his conditions alone are valid for governing our contractual relationship such declaration does not bind us and remains without effect on our legal relationship no matter what may be the form of such declaration and the circumstances under which it was made in respect of the conclusion and execution of the contract. Likewise the contents of the contract are in no way modified in case we should decline comment in respect of modification proposals directly or indirectly put neither forth by our customer nor by the fact that we affect deliveries without reserve. Should our quotation not be accepted by our customer as rapidly as circumstances permit they no longer bind us until conclusion of the final contract unless we grant our customer a longer term for acceptance. An order which fails to correspond exactly to our quotation as well as orders communicated orally, by telephone, telegram or telex, additions, modifications or agreements on subsidiary details bind us only when expressly confirmed by us in writing. All documentation forming part of our quotation or order confirmations or which is attached thereto, such as design and sketches as well as estimates of dimensions, weight yields or the like, shall be considered as approximations unless we have specifically guaranteed their exactitude. Our cost estimates indicates only approximate values and we are no bound thereby.
