Prices shall be understood without value added tax. Shipping costs will be extra charged (see

This will lead to extra costs, please inquire for details. Airmail postal service may be available for some destinations without any additional costs.

We are entitled to charge our clients additionally to the contract price all increases in expenses accrued in connection with the supply or service provided such increases become effective after conclusion of the contract. This right is independent from the cause of increase as there are legal regulations or other regulations or factual reasons. Expenses which we debit to our clients are especially export and import charges as custom duties, price-adjustment levies and taxes, storage charges, insurance premiums and similar costs which are out of the scope of our direct influence.
-
Along with the products ordered you will receive our invoice which is due net 30 days. Payment becomes overdue on the 31st day after invoice date. Invoices should be paid by bank transfer free of expenses for us. Bank details are given on the invoice.

Without prejudice to any more extensive rights we are entitled in case of default of payment to demand interest on arrears of 8 % above the current discount rate published by the Deutsche Bundesbank.
-
A set-off or other retention of payment in view of counter claims of the client is admissible only if the counter-claims have been acknowledged by us or the claims have been finally determined by court order.
-
We are entitled to demand, in our choice, the provision of security through letter of credit or other securities such as prepayment. Should the client not comply with this demand within ten days, we have the rights, after expiry of an additional term of 5 days to repudiate the contract.
- We do not assume liability for oral advices of any kind - which are non-binding in any event - to the client. Any advice, oral or written, regarding the area of application of our products does not dispense the client from a self-responsible examination regarding the qualification of the products for the intended purposes or methods as well as of any infringement with issued or pending intellectual property rights belonging to third parties.
-
Our products are for laboratory research use only if not otherwise confirmed in writing. They must not be used with human subjects or for clinical diagnosis or therapeutic use in humans or animals, including, but not limited to, in vitro diagnostic purposes, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic purposes, investigational use, in foods, drugs, devices or cosmetics of any kind, or for consumption by or use in connection with or administration or application to humans or animals.
- Our products are not sterile and are not regularly checked for endotoxins. Products carrying a charge are essentially desalted by common standard techniques for nucleotides. Please be aware that efficacy of all known desalting methods is limited and dependent on properties of the particular product. Final preparations of products may therefore contain a minor residual salt content.
-
The product descriptions on our web site and in our catalogue are accurate to the best of our knowledge. Since research applications are subjected to variable influences beyond our control, the products are offered without performance warranty, expressed or implied. In any case we reserve the right, from time to time, to modify composition and purity, in response to changes in the market conditions, raw material supply or other factors. Many products are new and experimental and have not been tested for toxicity. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ABSENCE OF A WARNING STATEMENT DOES NOT IMPLY THAT THE PRODUCT IS NOT HAZARDOUS. Research products should be used only by qualified investigators or by technically trained personnel working under the direct supervision of such investigators. It is the investigator's responsibility to ensure the safe handling of all products.
-
If any research product fails to meet the physical criteria ascribed to it on the catalogue, our web site or by any other analysis or description issued by us in writing, we will, after validating the deficiency, at the option of the client, either replace the deficient product in kind or will issue a Euro credit equivalent to the purchase price of the deficient product.
-
We will not be liable under any legal theory (including but not limited to contract, negligence, strict liability in tort or warranty of any kind) for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages (including but not limited to lost profits), even if we had notice of the possibility of such damages. We shall not be liable for any loss, damage or penalty as a result of any delay in or failure to deliver or otherwise perform hereunder. In any event the extent of our liability is restricted to the damage to the product itself.
-
If the fault or omission of the ascribed quality is caused by the delivery or performance of a sub-supplier our liability is restricted to an assignment of our rights and remedies we have against the sub-supplier. We undertake to assign these rights and remedies on first simple demand. If the client is not able to recover from the sub-supplier, he is entitled to keep us liable according para. VI. 4. in a subsidiary way.
-
Refund, replacement or any other claims is conditioned on client giving written notice to us within thirty (30) days after arrival of the products at its destination. Failure of client to give said notice within said thirty (30) days shall constitute a waiver by the client of all claims hereunder with respect to said material. Our liability under VI. 9. below remains unaffected.
-
In any event, any claim of the client against us for, but not limited to refund, replacement, remuneration for consequential damages or otherwise is excluded under the statute of limitations after one year after arrival of the products at its destination. Our liability under VI. 9. below remains unaffected.
-
Our liability for intention or gross negligence, for an expressed warranty, for the violation of an obligation which was of absolute material importance for the intended purpose of the contract, under the statute for the liability for defect products, and for personal injury or death remains unaffected. In cases of gross negligence and in cases of our failure to fulfil an obligation which was of absolute material importance for the intended purpose of the contract we are liable only for the immediate and foreseeable damage.
-
As our products are delivered to the clients for research purposes only, the client shall indemnify us, without prejudice to our continuing legal rights and waiving any defence of limitation, without limit against any and all claims of third parties which are brought against us on the grounds of product liability, to the extent the claim is based on circumstances which were caused after risk passed to the client.
