In case of articles that are not standard articles in accordance with the standard price list, the cancellation fee furthermore amounts to 50 % for the last 6 weeks prior to delivery / service, and 100 % in the last 4 weeks. The right to assert damages going beyond remains unaffected in any case.

5.4. KLINGER is authorized to demand a partial payment from the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER as well as to carry out an intermediate settlement.
5.5. Payments will be deducted from the most mature claims, and in this regard first from additional charges, then from interest and lastly from the capital sum.

In these cases KLINGER is authorized to further demand 1 % of the gross order sum, in any case at least EUR 100,- per calendar week, in sum, however, a maximum of 5 % of the gross order sum, in all cases including 20 % VAT, as warehouse charges.

KLINGER will in such cases immediately contact the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER in order to agree on an alternative date for the prevented delivery. To the extent that the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER is offered a new delivery date by KLINGER that is no later than two weeks after the initially agreed delivery date and should the delivery properly be carried out on this date, then this shall constitute a timely delivery on the side of KLINGER without liability for damages.
7.5. Should KLINGER be unable to offer the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER a new time of performance in accordance with 4. or if the new delivery date cannot be complied with due to reasons specified in 7.4. (impossibility of delivery at the specified date due to incidents going beyond the scope of KLINGER), then KLINGER is authorized to either fully or partially withdraw from the contract without being held liable for damages. The CONTRACTUAL PARTNER is equally authorized to withdraw from the contact in such cases.

Should the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER order planning services and/or special solutions from KLINGER, then – unless contractually specified otherwise – the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER shall continue to remain solely responsible that the content is present in its entirety, correct and conformable to law and that no rights of third parties are violated. In terms of relationship of the parties with each other, all rights to the contents created by KLINGER shall solely be the property of KLINGER.

10.1. In case of non-recurring services (planned construction) the contract generally ends with the service provision (with the completion of the planned construction). Recurring services in the course of a continuing obligation are rendered for a specific period or in perpetuity at a month’s notice.
10.2. In the case of a fixed-term contract the contractual relationship, with regard to the corresponding share of performance, ends after the duration listed in the offer for the specified service expires. This does not require separate cancellation. Open-ended contractual relationships may be terminated at the end of the month, subject to a notice period of one month. The cancellation must be in writing.
10.3. Cancellation/withdrawal by KLINGER: It is authorized to terminate the contract with immediate effect on the basis of important reasons; this without becoming liable for damages. In case of such a termination, all granted rights of utilization, irrespective of their kind, are deemed expired. An important reason is deemed particularly present, if
10.3.1. the agreed service, as a result of force majeure (such as e.g. in particular a governmental action, fire, floods, an insurrection, an earthquake, blackout, an insurgency, an explosion, an embargo, legal or illegal strikes, transport delays of all kinds, work delays), cannot be complied with, KLINGER cannot offer the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER a new time of performance, or the new delivery / performance date as a result of impossibility of the service on the agreed date for reasons exceeding the responsibility of KLINGER. In such cases KLINGER is authorized to partially or fully withdraw from the contract;
10.3.2. the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER, despite a written warning with a period of grace of 14 days, is continuously in breach of major obligations of this agreement, such as e.g. payment of due sums or violates its obligations to cooperate, or the rendering of services is made impossible due to reasons for which the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER is responsible;
10.3.3. valid concerns exist regarding the solvency of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER and he does not, upon the request of KLINGER, make advance payments or provide adequate security prior to rendering of a service;
10.3.4. the contractual basis significantly changes during the course of execution.
11. Warranty, liability, damages
11.1. Assurances, such as regarding the usability or special properties of the item, the service, a possible success or explanations from KLINGER are non-binding and do not constitute an express guarantee of certain properties unless they are provided in writing (including per e-mail).
11.2. KLINGER will repair deficient parts free of charge, will replace them free of defects or reduce the purchase price. With regard to the type of fault removal, KLINGER shall be granted choice on the basis of equitable discretion.
11.3. Warranty/damages/ and other claims require that all accounts payable to KLINGER are fully settled and that defects/damages are immediately brought to attention, visible defects/damages immediately upon receipt, hidden defects/damages following their identification and under inclusion of the actual defects/damages (generally formulated reprimand or notification is insufficient), and the provision of the original invoice.
11.4. Replaced parts become the property of KLINGER. An extension of the warranty period does not come into effect as a result of fault removal. A right to rescind on the side of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER does not apply.
11.5.. KLINGER shall in particular not be held liable for defects if the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER does not grant, on the basis of equitable discretion, the required period and opportunity to repair damage, rectify a defect or deliver a replacement, and instead either carries these out himself or by means of a third party. Only in urgent cases involving a threat to operational security and to protect against disproportionately large damages, in which case KLINGER is to be notified immediately, or if KLINGER itself is in default regarding the removal of a fault/damage, does the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER retain the right to remove the defect himself or by means of a third party and claim compensation for the necessary expenses from KLINGER. The burden of proof for the presence of such cases lies with the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER.
11.6. The warranty period amounts to six months from the time of delivery/performance and also applies to defects of a structure work or delivery items, which, in accordance with their usual mode of utilization, are used for a structure work and have caused its defect. The right to recourse vs. KLINGER in accordance with § 933b Abs 1 ABGB expires one year after delivery/performance. The CONTRACTUAL PARTNER is not entitled to hold back payments as a result of defects. The legal presumption of § 924 ABGB is excluded. With regard to its extent, a warranty claim is limited to the amount of the total sum of the delivery/performance.
11.7. Deviations customary in the trade or minor ones, deviations of a technical origin to quality, quantity, the equipment or the design, do not constitute a warranty defect, nor do they represent a non-fulfillment of the contract.
11.8. With regard to delivery items that, as a result of their composition or type of utilization, are subject to premature wear, such as e.g. shaft seals (stuffing boxes, packing sleeves, O-rings) as well as other gaskets (sealing rings, sleeves, valve rings, sealing elements) and other parts from materials such as rubber, synthetics, nonferrous metals, graphite and similar materials, KLINGER will assume no liability whatsoever. Furthermore, the liability for defects does not apply to natural wear and tear and to such damages that have resulted from unsuitable operating and installation conditions, improper third party installation or faulty maintenance on the side of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER.
11.9. KLINGER assumes liability on the basis of legal requirements. The liability for damage as a result of negligence, however, is excluded thereof. With regard to its scope, it is in this case limited to damages reasonably foreseeable in such contracts. With regard to its amount, the liability is limited to the amount of the total price of the delivery/performance. This liability limitation does not apply to damages resulting from injury, to the body or the health of persons. Claims for damages of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER as a result of non-fulfillment or delay are excluded, with the exception of proof regarding intent or gross negligence. The CONTRACTUAL PARTNER has to in any case prove the existence of intent or gross negligence.
11.10. The liability for a loss of profit and subsequent damages is excluded. KLINGER will not assume liability for (defect) subsequent damages, other physical damage, financial damage and damages, which third parties may assert versus the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER.
11.11. Furthermore, the liability for damages caused by a product defect to items as well as possible recourse claims on the side of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER pursuant to § 12 PHG are explicitly excluded. In case of damages caused by faulty products or components, which have been supplied by KLINGER, the liability of the seller is limited to the insurance sum in accordance with the product liability insurance of KLINGER.
11.12.KLINGER shall not be held liable for a default or a due to a governmental action, fire, flood, insurrection, earthquake, blackout, insurgency, explosion, embargo, legal or illegal strikes, transport delays of any kind, work delays or other conditions, which have an effect on production and delivery, over which KLINGER reasonably has no influence.
11.13. The CONTRACTUAL PARTNER assumes liability for the correctness and legality of his goods, specified information and/or submitted data and will indemnify and hold KLINGER harmless from claims of any (legal) nature, which result from violating this duty. This also applies to third party claims (for example due to copyright violations).
11.14. The CONTRACTUAL PARTNER is also under obligation to verify the provided documents with regard to their legal applicability, particularly their lawfulness regarding competition, trademark and administrative laws. Following the fulfillment of a possible duty to warn the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER, KLINGER will not be held liable for the legal permissibility of deliveries or performances, if these have been specified or approved by the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER.
11.15. Should a contract not be terminated as the result of a grossly negligent action or one with intent on the side of KLINGER, then the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER shall furthermore pay KLINGER the agreed remuneration in its entirety for this order. By paying the remuneration the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER is in this case not granted any utilization rights to previously performed planning work; not yet executed designs, drawings and other documents are instead to be returned to KLINGER immediately.
12. Final clause
12.1. It is hereby agreed that oral side-agreements shall not be concluded.
12.2. Modifications and/or additions to this agreement must be in writing to become valid; this also applies to a discontinuation of the necessity to put them forth in writing. Additional agreements will therefore only come into effect, if they are in written form and signed by the other contract partner. Oral agreements are invalid.
12.3. Should a provision of this contract prove to ineffective, invalid or not enforceable, then the parties agree that the provision made invalid shall be replaced by one that is effective and enforceable, which corresponds to the economic or conceptual content to the furthest extent, or comes closest to it. The remaining provisions of the contract shall remain unaffected by the invalidity of individual provisions.
12.4. The CONTRACTUAL PARTNER must immediately inform KLINGER of all changes to the conditions and/or developments. As long as the legal transaction, for which this contract forms the basis, has not been mutually fully fulfilled, the CONTRACT PARTNER is under obligation to immediately inform KLINGER of changes to his address/business address. If such notification should be neglected, then declarations shall also be deemed submitted when sent to the previously announced address.
12.5. The contract is subject to Austrian law under exclusion of international reference provisions and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
12.6. The contract parties agree that the court having jurisdiction for all disputes shall exclusively be the court at the company seat of KLINGER (jurisdiction clause). Even in the event of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER relocating his seat or a business location abroad, the court having jurisdiction at the business location of KLINGER shall remain the one having authority.
13. Data protection
13.1. The CONTRACTUAL PARTNER gives his explicit consent that his personal data (name, address, date of birth) may be stored and processed by KLINGER and – to the extent required for the order fulfillment – to submit it to third parties (employees, suppliers or other persons authorized by KLINGER).
