4.2 Delivery by the freight forwarder is “free curbside”, ie up to the public curbside closest to the delivery address. This only applies if nothing else emerges from the seller’s shipping information and nothing else has been agreed.

4.3 If the seller incurs additional costs due to the specification of a wrong delivery address a wrong addressee or other circumstances that lead to the impossibility of delivery, these are to be reimbursed by the customer, unless he is not responsible for the incorrect information or impossibility. The same applies in the event that the customer is temporarily prevented from accepting the service unless the seller has adequately announced the service beforehand. The costs of sending the goods are excluded from this rule if the customer has effectively exercised his right of withdrawal. Here it remains with the legal regulation or the regulation made by the seller.

4.4 The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods sold is transferred to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the freight forwarder, the carrier or the person or institution otherwise assigned to carry out the shipment if the customer is an entrepreneur. If the customer is a consumer, the transfer of risk only takes place when the goods are handed over to the customer or a person authorized to receive them. Deviating from this, the transfer of risk also takes place for consumers as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the freight forwarder, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise appointed to carry out the shipment if the customer has appointed the carrier, the carrier or otherwise to carry out the shipment Person or institution commissioned with the execution themselves and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer.

This only applies in the event that there is a congruent hedging transaction between the seller and the supplier, the improper, delayed or lack of self-delivery is not the responsibility of the seller and cannot be remedied by him with reasonable efforts. In the event that the goods are unavailable or only partially available, the customer will be informed immediately. Any payment made will be refunded immediately.

4.6 If the customer has agreed to collect the goods himself, he will be informed by the seller that the goods he has ordered are ready for collection.

The customer assigns the claims against third parties arising from the resale to the seller in advance in the amount of the respective invoice value (including sales tax). This assignment applies regardless of whether the reserved goods were resold without or after processing. The customer may also collect claims after the assignment, but this does not affect the right of the seller to collect the claims himself. However, the seller will refrain from collecting the claims as long as the customer meets his payment obligations to the seller, is not in default of payment and no application has been made to open insolvency proceedings against the customer.
