Our quotations are non-binding. Our written order confirmation shall be the sole definitive factor in terms of the scope and content of the contractual services. Supplementary agreements, changes and additions to the contract also require our written confirmation.

A contract shall only be considered accepted when we have confirmed it in written or by mail. The customer shall be deemed to have accepted these conditions if he does not submit an objection on receipt of the order confirmation. Any modifications are valid only when both sides confirm them in writing.

If there is a significant deterioration in the purchaser's financial situation after the contract is concluded, or should we become aware of an earlier deterioration of the financial situation after the contract is concluded, and this gives rise to serious doubts concerning the purchaser's credit worthiness, we are entitled to demand either payment in advance or a payment bond, at our choosing.
