Article 2
All price offers and/or quotations are indicative and can be increased at any time with government-imposed levies and/or price changes, as well as exchange rate or currency differences and/or levies by governments elsewhere and/or extra freight costs charged to us. Any inspection costs and related extra storage or freight costs, whether caused by changes in legislation or government regulations, shall always be borne by the purchaser.

Payments must always be made net within thirty days of the invoice date by transfer to the account specified on the invoice. In the event of late payment, interest of 1% per month on the outstanding amount is due, with interest on interest being charged. In the event of late payment, the purchaser will be in default simply by the expiry of the payment term without further notice of default and will owe collection costs equal to the legally permitted percentage of extrajudicial costs or, in the absence thereof, 10% of the outstanding amount.
Article 4
Delivery times are always indicative and only provide an approximate delivery time. Regarding the delivery, we are only in default after being put in default in writing for a reasonable period. In case of force majeure and/or unforeseen circumstances, such as loss of cargo en route, the execution of the order or delivery can be suspended at any time until normal delivery can take place. Should the force majeure or suspension last longer than three months, the purchaser is entitled to cancel the order. Exceeding delivery times will never give rise to compensation, discount, or modification of payment terms or cancellation of the order other than as described above.

- Strikes
- Unforeseen widespread illness of staff, including suppliers
- Natural disasters and/or delays or emergencies during sea transport

Article 6
The purchaser is always obliged to guarantee that further sale and/or delivery is carried out in compliance with the applicable legal provisions and regulations. This also applies to delivery to consumers. The purchaser declares to indemnify us against any claims in this respect and will never have any claims against us on this basis. Fireworks are always manufactured based on the safety regulations and/or standards and/or legislation known at the time of ordering. No liability of any kind can be accepted for changes to these standards, legislation, and/or regulations. Any changes in regulations, inspection requirements are always at the risk of the purchaser if these lead to stricter or adjusted rules at the time of delivery.
Article 7

Depending on the location of the purchaser and other conditions, this amount can be set higher, provided this has been agreed upon in writing. We always reserve the right to determine the means of transport. Insurance of the transport will only take place if expressly stipulated or expressly requested in writing by the purchaser. Partial deliveries can always take place with the simultaneous sending of partial invoices. The purchaser declares to have approved means of transport at all times. Additional requirements for the means of transport and the method of transport can always be imposed on road transport of fireworks.
Article 8
All goods delivered by us are always subject to a retention of title and an extended retention of title. This means that ownership of the delivered goods first passes to the purchaser after full payment of all outstanding invoices. The received funds will always first be deducted from the oldest outstanding invoices, interest, and costs. In the event of further delivery of the goods, the purchaser is obliged to report the retention of title on the goods if and insofar as the company’s invoices have not been paid. In case of arrears in the payment of invoices and costs as well as in the event of an application for suspension of payments, bankruptcy, liquidation of the purchaser’s company, or any other default towards us, we have the right to suspend or cancel orders or their execution without summons or notice of default. This is without prejudice to our rights to claim compensation for loss and/or damage. In such cases, all outstanding claims are immediately and promptly payable without notice of default or summons, increased with the interest and costs due. In addition, we are always entitled to transfer or pledge the claim on purchasers with a real right if and insofar as we deem this necessary.
Article 9
