The following applies to entrepreneurs: Delivery dates and delivery periods are agreed to the best of our knowledge and under normal circumstances; unless they are expressly designated and agreed as fixed, these are always only approximate delivery times, whereby exceeding or falling short of the delivery dates and delivery periods by up to 10 days is still considered timely. Our compliance with the delivery dates and delivery periods depends on your compliance with any obligations and conditions you may have to fulfill prior to delivery; otherwise, we are entitled to postpone the delivery dates and delivery periods accordingly without thereby being in default. If you request a technical, commercial, or scheduling change to the order, we are entitled to unilaterally announce a new delivery period or a new delivery date.

The following applies to businesses: If you demonstrably suffer damages due to a delivery delay caused by gross negligence on our part, you are entitled to compensation for the damages up to a maximum of 5% of the value of that part of the delivery that cannot be used by you in a timely manner or for its intended purpose due to the delivery delay. Further claims based on a delivery delay are excluded.

4.8. The following applies to entrepreneurs: You are obligated to accept the goods on the confirmed delivery date or within the confirmed delivery period. The assertion of claims due to non-conforming delivery or the fact that you were unable to inspect the delivery does not entitle you to refuse or postpone acceptance. For call-off orders, you undertake to take delivery of the goods no later than 14 days after completion. We have fulfilled our obligation when the delivery item is at your disposal, i.e., when you are notified of readiness for delivery.

4.9. The following applies to entrepreneurs: If you are in default of acceptance (in particular due to non-acceptance after notification of our readiness for dispatch), the goods will be stored at your expense and risk either (i) with us or with a third party or (ii) shipped to you. If storage takes place with us as defined in (i), we are entitled to charge you a fee equivalent to that of a public warehouse; we shall only be liable for the deterioration or loss of goods stored with us in the event of intent or gross negligence; this shall not affect our rights as defined in Sections 373 et seq. of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).

The choice of shipping method (truck, rail, ship, aircraft, etc.) remains at our discretion.
