General terms and conditions
1. Field of application
1.1. For all deliveries made by Rom Wälzlager GmbH & Co .KG and W. Piehler Antriebstechnik GmbH & Co. KG (“seller” in the following) because of online-orders through our online-shop www.rom-24.de the following General Terms and Conditions (“GTC” in the following) apply. The GTC of the customer do not apply, even if we do not explicitly contradict.
1.2. These GTC only apply to entrepreneurs following commercial or self-employed professional activities upon conclusion of the contract as well as to a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
2. Conclusion of Contract
2.1 Our product presentation in the Online Shop solely represents a non-binding invitation for customers to purchase goods from us. By sending an order, the customer submits a binding offer to conclude a sales contract with us.
2.2 After submitting the order the customer gets a confirmation of receipt which can be downloaded or printed directly. This automatically generated confirmation of receipt does not constitute acceptance of your offer. Acceptance of offer is constituted by delivery of goods or sending an order confirmation within 7 working days.
2.3 The conclusion of contract shall be subject to the correct and punctual delivery of the goods to the seller by his suppliers. This reservation does not apply in the case of short-term delivery disruptions or if the seller is responsible for the non-delivery. The customer will be informed immediately if the goods are not available. In this case any prepayments will be refunded.
3. Pricing and Paymentmethods
3.1 All prices are prices for resellers only and do not contain VAT. All prices listed on this website are in Euro.
Orders are subject to current prices at time of order placement.
For all orders placed through the online-shop the customer gets a 3% online-discount.
All prices are quoted ex works Aachen, excluding freight costs, transport costs, customs costs and insurance. These costs will be charged separately.
3.2 Payments are due within 30 days from the date of invoice without deduction.
3.3 New customers are requested to pay in advance or can choose COD.
We are entitled to request payment in advance or COD in case of larger deliveries or when the customer’s registered office is located abroad. Payment in advance has to be settled within seven days after conclusion of contract. The date of receipt of money is relevant for the seller.

4. Delivery/Shipping and Handling charges
4.1 Orders placed before 3.00 pm (Monday to Friday) will be shipped the same day. Delivery dates generally are non-binding, unless they are explicitly agreed as binding in written form.
4.2 Delivery will be ex works Aachen. The customer can choose his preferred parcel service (UPS, DHL or DPD) for shipments within Germany. Risk of accidental loss or accidental damage of the goods passes to the customer when the goods are handed to a forwarder. If the dispatch or receipt is delayed for reasons beyond our responsibility the risk passes to the customer upon receipt of our announcement of delivery or similar.
4.3 Shipping costs within EU can be asked from the seller.
Delivery within Germany is free of charge for order values from € 100 and above, for order values below € 100 shipping costs of € 7.50 arise.

4.5 All items are subject to prior sale.
5. Retention of title
5.1 The products remain our property until payment has been received in full.
5.2 The customer is entitled to resell the purchased items. The customer assigns all claims in the amount of the resale of the goods (including any VAT) to us. The customer remains entitled to collect the assigned claims even after the assignment. Our authorization to collect the claims ourselves remains unaffected by this. As long as the customer fulfills his payment obligations, is not in default of payment and no application for insolvency proceedings is made or payments are suspended, we are obliged to not collect the claims. The customer must provide all details concerning the assigned claims and the debtors, provide information concerning collection, hand out the respective documents and inform the third-party debtor about the assignment.
The customer shall not be entitled to any other disposal of the goods subject to retention of title, especially pledging and security transfer.
5.3 In case of attachment or seizures of the goods under reservation of title by third parties the customer has to inform us immediately. Any costs based on this intervention are to be paid by the customer if they are not paid by third parties.
6. Returns and Replacements / Return policy
6.1 The customer may return any purchased item within 30 days of receipt, provided that the item is unused and packed in its original packaging materials.
Please contact us before sending back the goods.
6.2 We charge a processing fee of 10% of the value of the goods – minimum fee €10 – for the exchange of goods for reasons we are not responsible for.
7. Warranty
7.1 Claims for defects by the customer provide that the customer met his inspection and reproof obligations according to § 377 HGB (Commercial Code) properly.
7.2 If the notice of defects is justified we shall only be obliged at our option to remedy the defect or to deliver accurate goods (when the customer returns the delivered goods). In case of supplementary performance due to defects, we shall be obliged to bear the expenses required, in particular transport and delivery costs, labour and material costs to the extent that these do not increase because the goods have been delivered to another place as the place of performance.
7.3 If the seller fails to meet his obligations within an appropriate limit of time or if rectification of defects fails several times, the customer is entitled to reduce the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract. Further claims, in particular reimbursement of expenses or compensation for damages caused by a defect and consequential damages caused by a defect, only exist according to the arrangements under 8
7.4 The limitation period for warranty claims is 12 months beginning at the passing of risk. The limitation period in case of a delivery regress according to §§ 478, 479 Civil Code remains unaffected.
7.5 Liability for property or service life guarantees as well as liability for wilful deception of defects, for intent, gross negligence and injury of life, body or health is not affected by aforementioned regulations (in particular paragraph 7.4). In such cases the legal regulation or warranty periods apply.
8. Liability
8.1 In all cases in which we are obliged to compensation for damages or reimbursement of expenses through contractual or legal regulations of claims, we are only liable to the extent that we, our executive employees and vicarious agents are answerable for intentional acts, gross negligence or injury of life, body or health. Liability independent of culpability according to the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected. Liability for culpable breach of fundamental contractual obligations (= obligations whose fulfilment mainly enables the proper execution of the contract and the observance of which the contracting party regularly relies on) shall also remain unaffected; liability shall be limited, except for the cases of sentences 1 and 2, to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. The aforementioned regulations shall not constitute a modification of the onus of proof to the disadvantage of the customer.
8.2 If claims for damages against us are excluded or limited, this shall also apply with respect to the personal liability for damages of our employees, workers, collaborators, representatives and agents.
9. General provisions
9.1 If the customer is a trader, a legal person of public law or a special fund under public law the jurisdiction shall be our registered office; we shall be entitled to sue the customer at his general jurisdiction as well.
9.2 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply; the application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall be excluded.
9.3 Rights from the contractual relationship with the seller may only be assigned with his prior written consent.
9.4 Are or become one or several provisions of these General Terms and Conditions null and void or are not applied on a consensual basis between the customer and the seller, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The same shall apply in the event of any missing provision. Instead of the invalid or impracticable provision or to replace the missing provision both parties will find an arrangement, which comes as close as possible to the economic intent of the provision to be replaced in a legal way.
