    • In the event of defects, we shall provide warranty at our discretion by repair or replacement (subsequent performance). In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be required to bear the increased costs arising from the transportation of the goods to a location other than the place of performance, provided that the transportation does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

This limitation of liability also applies in favor of our vicarious agents.

§ 11 Alternative dispute resolution

  1. The EU Commission has provided a platform for out-of-court dispute resolution .
