IWK VERPACKUNGSTECHNIK GMBH GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PURCHASING

(ISSUED OCTOBER 2013)

1. Client and scope

1.1 The company integrating these General Terms and Conditions (IWK Verpackungstechnik GmbH Purchasing Conditions) into a contract is hereinafter referred to as “the Client”.

1.2 The IWK Verpackungstechnik GmbH Terms and Conditions for Purchasing and additional contractual conditions stated in the confirmation letter apply exclusively. Any contrary or deviating Contractor terms and conditions do not apply, even if the performance is accepted unreservedly in the knowledge of contrary or deviating Contractor terms and conditions.

1.3 Only declarations of intent and legal transactions such as orders, release orders, contracts (hereinafter also referred to as “the order”) that are written and signed by the Client are legally effective; this also includes versions that are issued in electronic form with an electronic signature in accordance with Section 127 Para. 3 German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, “BGB”).

1.4 All orders placed by the Client are non-binding. Only the written confirmation of the contract is defining for the content of the contract.

1.5 The drafting of projects and quotations by the Contractor is free of charge and non-binding for the Client, unless there is a separate agreement. The Client is not subject to any restrictions in terms of use. In as far as Client requests contain technical information or requirements, these do not release the Contractor from performing their own comprehensive review.

2. Quality management and environmental protection

2.1 The Contractor must comply with the Client’s demands in terms of quality management and environmental protection in accordance with the requirements in the specification in the respective order.

2.2 The Contractor commits to complying with the provisions of the law relating to the bringing to market, recovery, and environmentally friendly disposal of electrical and electronic devices (Gesetz über das Inverkehrbringen, die Rücknahme und die umweltverträgliche Entsorgung von Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten, “ElektroG”), to fulfilling the Client obligations that arise from this, and – in as far as these are not transferable – to supporting the Client in its fulfillment of them. In this respect, the Contractor in particular commits to applying manufacturer labeling to the contractual object in accordance with Section 7 Sentence 1 ElektroG for the Client free of charge and as per the Client’s specifications, and to labeling the respective contractual object with the symbol in accordance with Section 7 Sentence 2 ElektroG in conjunction with Annex 2 to the ElektroG as per the Client’s specifications.

3. Code of Conduct, security check

3.1 Within their responsibility for people, society, and the environment, the Client and Contractor commit to complying with the rules of the Code of Conduct; such compliance is included as a component of the contract.

3.2 If use at a security-sensitive location on the Client site is intended, the Contractor must ensure that only employees who have been security-checked and have been separately obliged to confidentiality in written form are used.

4. Scope of performance, prices, and payment conditions

4.1 The price agreed in the contract is a fixed price and, unless there is an explicit deviating agreement, includes carriage-paid delivery. The price covers all transport, insurance, packaging, and other ancillary costs and fees up to the point of delivery to/installation at the receiving location stated by the Client in an operation-ready condition, unless otherwise agreed. If it is explicitly agreed that the costs will be borne by the Client, the Client shall determine the carrier. The goods must be declared in the bill of consignment in such a way that the shipment is charged for at the cheapest freight rate permitted. For the performance of the transport, the Contractor shall notify the Client when the goods are ready for shipment. In this case, the Client shall take out transport insurance and bear the costs incurred from this. In this respect, the Client is a customer exempted from freight forwarder liability insurance and cartage insurance (“SVS / RVS-Verbotskunde”). Additional insurance costs will not be borne by the Client.

4.2 The price includes costs for any installation and integration work that becomes necessary and that needs to be provided by the Client without disruption of ongoing operation, including outside normal business hours where necessary. Auxiliary or additional performance as well as other resources that go beyond the original scope of the order are only compensated for if a written supplementary agreement has been entered into in this respect before performance is executed. These must be specifically marked on the invoice.

4.3 All use-relevant operation, control, use and service instructions and other use-relevant documents must be delivered in the national language that is standard at the location of the Client’s registered office and respectively at the equipment destination; this is covered by the price.

4.4 A shipping note must be attached to each delivery. Delivery notes and – where agreed separately – notices of dispatch must include: – The order number, business reference, and date of the order, – The number of any partial delivery, – The number and date of the shipping note, – The date of shipment, – Information on the type and scope of delivery as well as material numbers and position numbers noted in the order, and – The type of dispatch

4.5 Where billing of performance based on hourly rates is agreed, travel and waiting times as well as travel costs are not compensated separately.

4.6 The period allowed for payment starts on the first day after receipt of the verifiable invoice, but not before fulfillment/acceptance of performance. The Client’s payment runs always take place on the 9th working day of each month. If the Client receives the invoice before or on the 9th working day of a month, it will pay the purchase price on the 9th working day of the next month with a 3% discount, on the 9th working day of the next-but-one month following receipt of the invoice with a 2% discount, or on the 9th working day of an additional month after that on a net basis without deduction. The date on which the Client issues the transfer order is decisive for compliance with the payment deadline.

4.7 The unconditional payment of the invoice amount by the Client does not include any recognition of the Contractor’s performance being in compliance with the contract.

5. Default on the part of the Contractor

5.1 In the event of default on the part of the Contractor, the legal provisions apply unless otherwise determined in the following.

5.2 In the event of default of delivery, the Client is entitled to demand a contractual penalty in the amount of 0.5% of the order value for each week started beyond the deadline; however, this is limited to 5% of the order value. The contractual penalty may be demanded alongside fulfillment. The assertion of further-reaching claims remains unaffected.

5.3 If the contractual penalty is agreed, the Client may assert the retention of the contractual penalty until the final payment.

5.4 The Client is entitled to assert the contractual penalty alongside fulfillment.

5.5 Further-reaching legal claims arising from default remain unaffected by this.

6. Default on the part of the Client

In the event of default on the part of the Client, the legal specifications apply with the condition that the Client – including with respect to payments – only enters into default when it fails to provide performance following a warning from the Contractor.

7. Withdrawal or termination for cause

7.1 In particular, the Client may withdraw from the contract or terminate the contract with immediate effect if insolvency proceedings are opened with respect to the Contractor’s assets or such opening has been refused due to the lack of an insolvency estate corresponding to the costs of the proceedings, or if the proper processing of the contract is put into question due to the Contractor ceasing its payments on a basis that is not merely temporary.

7.2 The same rights are due to the Client from the time of receipt of a request for the opening of insolvency proceedings with the court.

8. Product liability

If the Contractor is responsible for damage due to product liability, it is obliged to release the Client from third-party claims for damages. The Client shall notify the Contractor of the assertion of such claims for damages.

9. Transfer of risk/acceptance/examination for defects

9.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the legal specifications apply for the transfer of risk and ownership.

9.2 The delivery of chattels to be manufactured or created requires written acceptance by the Client, as does the performance of assembly.

9.3 In other respects, in the case of deliveries, the risk passes to the Client when the delivery arrives at the location of receipt and the shipping note is countersigned. Within five working days of delivery, the Client shall review the performance only with respect to openly discernible defects, and will immediately provide notification of defects. In other respects, the Client is released from the obligation to examine and provide notification of defects in accordance with Section 377 HGB.

10. Liability for defects

10.1 During the warranty period, the Contractor accepts liability for defects for the contractual and flawless condition as well as flawless function of the performance incumbent upon it. Unless a deviating agreement has been entered into, the period of limitation relating to defects is 36 months from the transfer of risk or – if acceptance is specified – upon acceptance of performance. The period of limitation for claims relating to defects extends by the time during which the defective performance cannot be used as intended.

10.2 The legal provisions apply for defects occurring during the period of limitation. The Contractor is obliged to bear all expenses incurred by the Client in the context of liability for defects. Further-reaching legal claims remain unaffected by this.

10.3 Client claims due to defects of title lapse two years from the point at which a third party asserts claims arising from the breach of property rights or other rights, or the Client gains knowledge of the existence of a defect of title in some other way. If the Contractor acts maliciously, the statutory regulations apply.

11.Secrecy

11.1 All parties commit to keeping secret all information that is not common knowledge as arises from the area of the respective other party and becomes known to them through the business relationship, and to not using it for its own purposes or for the purposes of third parties. Further-reaching or alternative legal obligations relating to secrecy remain unaffected.

11.2 Delivered data carriers, samples, templates, drawings, etc. must be sent back to the Client upon completion of the order. A right of retention in this respect is ruled out. As is the case with models, dies and other tools, these must be kept secret. They may only be duplicated with explicit written approval. They may only be used for the execution of our orders and neither sold nor transferred to third parties, nor made accessible to third parties in any way.

11.3 The obligation to secrecy also continues to apply after the processing of the contract; it expires if and in as far as the production knowledge contained in the delivered models, templates, samples, data, pictures, drawings, calculations, and other documents has become generally known without a breach of legal obligations by a contractual party.

11.4 All documents provided to the Contracted by the Client for fulfillment of performance remain in the ownership of the Client and, together with all produced duplicates, copies, etc., must be returned to the Client at the request of the Client, or – if the Client so chooses – destroyed. The duplication of such objects is only permitted in the framework of operational requirements and the provisions relating to copyright law.

A right of retention in this respect is ruled out.

11.5 Subcontractors must be bound to corresponding obligations.

12. Subcontractors

Engagement of third parties as subcontractors requires the written consent of the Client.

13. Invoicing/taxation

13.1 The Contractor shall invoice for its services in a verifiable form. Invoices on account, partial, partial final, and final invoices must be identified as such, listed individually, and numbered sequentially. The invoice must also meet the requirements of Section 14 German VAT Act (Umsatzsteuergesetz, “UStG”). If the invoice does not meet the stated requirements, the Client shall have the right to withhold payment and shall not be responsible for any delay in payment as a result thereof. The invoice shall be issued no earlier than the day on which performance has been rendered in line with the contract, and must be sent to the invoice address specified in the order.

13.2 In the event that other performance and work delivers are provided by foreign contractors and are subject to VAT in Germany, the tax liability shall transfer to the Client (Section 13a, b German VAT Act). The Contractor may not include German VAT in the invoices for such performance. If the Contractor imports items from a third country into Germany for the purpose of providing the aforementioned performance and import VAT is incurred in relation to this, this liability shall be borne by the Contractor.

13.3 The Client is entitled to withhold any tax at source and/or withholding tax from the gross amount, and pay it to the tax authorities for the Contractor’s account, unless a valid tax exemption certificate is available for the Contractor.

14. Assignment of claims

Claims due to the Contractor from the Client may only be assigned to the point of purchase with the express written consent of the Contractor. Section 354a Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, “HGB”) applies if the transaction is a commercial transaction with respect to both parties.

15. Offsetting

15.1 The Contractor shall not have any rights of retention if these rights arise from counterclaims in relation to other legal transactions with the Client.

15.2 The Contractor may only offset against claims which are undisputed or have been established as final and absolute.

16. Final provisions

16.1 The place of fulfillment shall be the place of destination specified by the Client for performance.

16.2 German law applies, as it is to be applied between parties with their registered offices within Germany.

16.3 The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that it has observed and complied with customs and export regulations, and the legal requirements in respect thereof. There are no obligations for the Client in relation to the delivery of performance that is relevant to customs and export regulations.

16.4 The jurisdiction is the registered office of the Client, insofar as the Contractor is a merchant (“Kaufmann”), corporate body under public law, or a special fund under public law. However, the Client shall also be free to bring an action before the competent court for the registered office of the Contractor.

GENERAL TERMS OF SALE

I. General

All of our deliveries and performance provided to contractors are exclusively subject to our terms and conditions as follows. Terms and conditions of the Customer do not apply, even if we do not explicitly object to them and still execute delivery. Deviations and supplements are only effective upon our explicit written confirmation; these apply only for the transaction for which they have been entered into. In the course of the ongoing business relationship, the following conditions apply for future contracts even if their application is not explicitly referred to in future.

II. Quotation, and formation of a contract

1. Our quotations are always non-binding.

2. Following order placement from the Customer, the contract comes into effect through our written order confirmation. Statements that are made before order placement in the context of order processing, in particular relating to performance, consumption or other individual data, are only binding as agreements relating to the quality of our performance if we have provided written confirmation that they are binding upon order confirmation, or thereafter.

III. Collaboration of the purchaser

1. Contractual fulfillment requires that the Customer fully meets its obligations in terms of collaboration, clarification, and advice, as well as care and protection.

2. The customer therefore commits, among other aspects, to promptly responding to all queries, to sending the required or requested drawings and documents, to issuing all required releases and approvals, and to participating in appointments communicated in advance for design discussions and preliminary and final acceptance.

3. The Customer is also responsible for sending a sufficient quantity and number of test materials that comply with specifications. In as far as there are tolerances in the test material, parts in the respective upper and lower tolerance rage must be made available to us. Flawless function can only be guaranteed for these parts made available to us.

IV. Prices

1. Our prices apply ex-works, excluding packaging (with deliveries abroad: Duty unpaid).

2. Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due immediately.

3. If, between contract formation and delivery, there are unforeseeable increases in material, wage or transport costs, taxes, or fees, we are entitled to adapt prices in line with these factors if delivery is not to be made within four months of contract formation.

4. If the Customer makes changes after contract formation, we may adapt the prices at any time in accordance with the additional costs arising due to the change.

V. Payment conditions, and offsetting

1. If contractually agreed payment deadlines are exceeded, we are entitled to assert a flat-rate claim to damages of 8% above the respective base interest rate relating to the order value, without proof of damages. We reserve the right to assert further-reaching damages. The Customer is permitted to prove that damages were not incurred at all, or that the level of damages is significantly lower than the flat-rate amount.

2. The payment deadline is only complied with if the payment is credited to our account within the deadline, and we are able to freely dispose of it.

3. Unless there is a defect, the Customer is only permitted to offset against uncontested claims or claims that have been established as final and absolute, and only retain payments due to such claims. In the event of the retention of payments, the claim must be based on the same contractual relationship.

4. In the event of intra-Community deliveries, the Customer is obliged to provide us with its tax ID number, other information necessary to check tax exemption, and the proof necessary to verify tax exemption. If the Customer does not promptly fulfill these obligations, we will treat the delivery as not tax-exempt.

5. We are then entitled to additionally calculate and demand any VAT incurred in each case. If we have incorrectly treated a delivery as tax-exempt based on inaccurate information from the Customer, the Customer must release us from the relevant tax liability, and bear all the additional expenses.

VI. Delivery deadlines and periods

1. We will work to the best of our ability to comply with the delivery deadlines and periods stated in the order confirmation; however, these only reflect the intended delivery time, and not one that is agreed firmly or in terms of a calendar date.

2. Delivery periods do not in any case start before the complete clarification of all details for the requested execution. The execution of deliveries requires prompt responses to all queries, transmission of the required or requested drawings and documents, transmission of a sufficient quantity of test material, issuance of all necessary releases and approvals, and participation in promptly communicated appointments for design discussions with design release, preliminary release in our manufacturer’s works, and acceptance. If these requirements are not met due to reasons for which we are not responsible, the delivery deadline will be delayed accordingly.

3. We are only obliged to execution and delivery if the Customer has made all agreed and/or due payments. If payments, in particular agreed advance payments, are made late, the delivery deadline will be delayed accordingly.

4. The period or deadline is considered complied with if the shipment is made available for shipment or picked up within the period or at the deadline.

5. We refer to the fact that export regulations relating to use may apply in the event of resale of the delivered goods. In addition, US components (goods, software, and technology) may also be included in the goods delivered by the Customer, and this fact may require compliance with US-American specifications. With respect to us, the Seller commits to ensuring compliance with national, European, and US-American export regulations that are relevant in the event of export or re-export.

6. We do not accept any liability for delays in deliveries that result from statutory or regulatory export restrictions or for the event that a delivery cannot be made at all due to export restrictions. If a delivery cannot be executed as contractually provided for because export regulations or decrees from authorities prevent this, the Customer may withdraw from the contract at any time. The Customer is not obliged to provide compensation for damages in this case unless the Customer was aware before contract formation of such a statutory or regulatory impediment to export that prevents delivery, or was not aware of this before contract formation due to gross negligence.

7. If non-compliance with a period or a deadline is due to force majeure, mobilization, war, riot, strike, lockout or other unforeseeable impediments that affect our operations, for which we are not responsible, and which have occurred or become known to us after contract formation, the period or deadline is appropriately delayed.

8. If a contractual penalty is agreed, its amount is limited to 5% of the net order total. Retention of the contractual penalty must be explicitly declared in writing upon acceptance, and for the respective individual case. If an applied contractual penalty is unreasonably high, we may demand that it is reduced to a reasonable amount; Section 348 HGB does not apply.

VII. Place of fulfillment, transfer of risk, and insurance

1. Unless we have agreed otherwise, our manufacturer’s works are the place of fulfillment for our delivery obligation.

2. Our products are shipped from our manufacturer’s works at the expense and risk of the Customer. This also applies if we have additionally performed assembly and/or start-up.

3. We only take out insurance at the explicit written request of the Customer, and the Customer bears the costs of this.

VIII. Retention of title

1. The items delivered by us remain under our ownership until complete payment of all claims arising from the business relationship between us and the Customer. This retention of title also applies in the event of payments by bills of exchange.

2. Until full payment, the Customer is not entitled to resell items without our written approval; the Customer is not permitted to pledge items, nor assign them as security.

3. In the event of the combination of item subject to retention of title with other items not belonging to us (installation), we are entitled to the resulting co-ownership share in the new item based on the ratio of the order value of the item subject to retention of title, to the value of the other items at the time of combination. If the Customer acquires sole ownership of a new item, the contractual parties hereby agree that the Customer grants us co-ownership of the new item based on the ratio of the order value of the combined item subject to retention of title, to the value of the other items. The Customer is obliged to disclose to us, at any time and on request, the documents required to determine the share of co-ownership. The Customer’s safekeeping of the items under our co-ownership for us free of charge is hereby agreed.

4. In the event of payments in the bill of exchange and check procedure, our rights to retention of title and security rights remain unaffected and continue to apply until our liability arising from the bill of exchange or check has ended.

5. In the event of counter-contractual conduct on the part of the Customer, in particular due to default on payment with a claim arising from the business relationship, we may, after setting a reasonable grace period, withdraw from the contract and reclaim the item, without prejudice to our other rights.

6. The cover limit is agreed at 120%. We are obliged to release the securities due to us if and when the realizable value of our securities exceeds the secured claims by more than 20%. Our retention of title relating to a delivered item continues to exist until our claim for compensation for the delivery of this item has been completely fulfilled.

IX. Acceptance

In the event of agreements that require acceptance under a works contract, the following applies:

1. The Customer is obliged to participate in preliminary acceptance of machines at our works. A log of preliminary acceptance is created.

2. Acceptance by the Customer must be provided immediately on delivery.

3. The Customer is obliged to provide us with a certificate of acceptance once start-up has been completed.

4. Non-material defects do not justify the Customer refusing acceptance.

5. If no formal acceptance is requested or performed, acceptance is considered provided at the latest when the Customer begins use.

6. The risk transfers to the Customer on acceptance, in as far as the Customer does not already bear this risk. In addition, the risk transfers to the Customer at the latest when the Customer enters default of acceptance.

X. Incoming goods inspection and notification of defects

1. The Customer is obliged to review the goods immediately upon receipt to determine whether they correspond to the specifications stated in the order and are free of defects. (Section 377 and Section 381 Para. 2 HGB (commercial duty to examine and provide notification of defects).

2. This must be asserted in writing.

XI. Warranty

1. The warranty period is
a.) for purchase contracts:
12 months from handover;

b.) for service contracts:
12 months from provision of the service;

c.) for works contracts:
12 months from acceptance, but at the latest 15 months from delivery in as far as the customer is responsible for the default of acceptance.

2. In the event of promptly asserted notifications of defects, the Customer may demand subsequent fulfillment based on our preference (through rectification of the defect or delivery of a non-defective item). If two attempts at subsequent fulfillment are unsuccessful (failed subsequent fulfillment) or if we refuse subsequent fulfillment, or if subsequent fulfillment is infeasible, the Customer may withdraw from the contract, reduce the purchase price, or claim compensation for damages in accordance with these provisions.

3. No guarantee is provided for restrictions to the object of delivery due to natural wear, in particular to wearing parts, damage after the transfer of risk, or improper handling (e.g. incorrect connection, the processing of parts with dimensions that fall short of or exceed the stipulated tolerance limits, etc.).

4. The guarantee is only provided for certain characteristics if we have given explicit and written assurance of this. No guarantee is provided that the delivered item is suitable for the Customer’s purposes.

5. Data confirmed by us in writing upon formation of the contract relating to performance, consumption, etc. are never independent declarations of guarantee in the sense of Section 443 BGB.

6. The Customer is obliged to grant the time and opportunity required for subsequent fulfillment. In the event of breakdown and failure, we will dispatch personnel within a reasonable period. However, we cannot guarantee that personnel will be immediately available at all times.

7. We cease to be liable if, without our advance approval, the Customer itself reworks or makes modifications to our delivery, or has the same performed by third parties.

XII. Liability for compensation for damages, and reimbursement of futile expenditure

1. With respect to Customer claims to compensation for damages or reimbursement of futile expenses, we are not liable – on any legal basis – for Customer damages (including expenditure) which have been caused as a result of slight negligence by our entities, legal representatives, employees, or agents.

2. In as far as we are in principle liable for compensation to damages arising from direct and immediate damage, liability for all contractual, non-contractual and other claims to compensation for damages and expenditure is limited in amount to the damage that is typically foreseeable at the time of contract formation, without consideration of their legal nature and regardless of the number of damage events.

3. Our liability, on whatever legal basis, for any indirect and consequential damage (such as lost profit, halted production, recalls, etc.) is ruled out in principle and in all amounts.

4. The exclusions of liability and limitations of liability stated here do not apply
a.) in the event of injury to life, limb or health, or
b.) in the event of malice or gross negligence on our part, or
c.) in the event of a breach of a contractually material obligation incumbent upon us, without which the proper performance of the contract is not possible, and the fulfillment of which the Customer may therefore ordinarily rely on, or
d.) in as far as we have maliciously concealed a defect, or
e.) in as far as we have provided a guarantee for quality or durability, or
f.) for claims in accordance with product liability law.

XIII. Assembly, start-up, and instruction

1. Assembly and service work and the performance of start-up work as well as instruction of the Customer’s operating personnel are invoiced for based on time and effort. These are invoiced for in accordance with the version of our charging rates that applies in each case. Working hours, waiting times, travel times, accommodation allowance expenditure, accommodation costs, and required fees for transportation expenditure and carriage are charged for. The material used as well as other resources required for the consumption of materials are charged for in accordance with the agreed prices, unless there is an agreement on other reasonable prices.

2. If an instructed member of assembly staff is not able to complete their work for reasons for which we are not responsible, the waiting time is charged for as working time. If we perform work at times or under circumstances that deviate from the contractually required conditions for reasons for which we are not responsible, the Customer must provide additional compensation for the additional expenditure caused by this. If the performance of work at times and under circumstances that require additional wage costs (including for overtime) is requested, we may charge supplements on our hourly charging rates in the amount of the percentages applicable for us in terms of pay scales. The instruction of operating staff is also charged as an additional amount if assembly is included in the price.

XIV. Documents, technical drawings, and safety specifications

1. The scope of delivery includes an operating manual and technical overview drawings in accordance with EC 42/2006. We only provide further-reaching technical drawings on the basis of a separate agreement on compensation; we are not required to enter into such an agreement.

2. We can only provide operating instructions and documents relating to sub-suppliers units to the extent that we ourselves receive them from our upstream suppliers. In as far as we have committed to maintaining confidentiality with respect to our upstream suppliers, no release of the corresponding information can be asked of us.

3. In the execution of our products, deviations from safety standards and directives as well as recommendations are permitted in as far as the same level of safety is guaranteed in another way.

XV. Secrecy

1. Unless otherwise agreed, all business or technical information made accessible by us remain exclusively under our ownership and must be kept secret from third parties and used exclusively in the framework of the respective contractual purpose.

2. We reserve all rights to such information (including copyrights and the right to register commercial property rights such as patents, utility models, etc.).

XVI. Reverse engineering

The Customer commits to refraining from the reverse engineering of machines that have been specifically planned by us for the Customer, and to not commissioning any third parties with the reverse engineering of such machines. In the event of a breach of this obligation, we may – regardless of our other claims and rights – demand the payment of an appropriate license fee from the customer.

XVII. Place of fulfillment, place of jurisdiction, and final provisions

1. Amendments and supplements to the contract must be in written form in order to be effective. This also applies to the rescission of the written form requirement.

2. The place of fulfillment for all liabilities arising from this contract, in particular the payment of the purchase price, is our respective branch as stated below.

3. The parties hereby recognize the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at the location of our branch for all legal disputes arising from or in connection with this contract. However, we are also entitled to assert claims against the Customer at its general place of jurisdiction.

4. If individual provisions of these Terms of Sale or of the contract concluded on the basis of them are or become ineffective, this shall not impact the efficacy of the remaining provisions. If a partial clause is ineffective, the efficacy of the rest of the clause is unaffected if it can be separated in terms of content from the partial clause, is otherwise understandable in and of itself, and results in a remaining meaningful regulation in the overall structure of the contract. The parties commit to replacing ineffective clauses with provisions that come as close as possible to the economic purpose of the ineffective clauses. This applies with the corresponding adjustments in the event of gaps.

5. The Customer has been informed that all data concerning it, including personal data as defined by data protection law, are stored in the course of our electronic data processing, and consents to this. The Customer guarantees that it has any consent required from its employees in this respect.

6. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany exclusively applies to legal relationships arising from and in the context of this agreement, to the exclusion of principles on conflict of laws and the provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (“CISG”).
