5. Retention of title
5.1 The goods or the subject matter of the contract remain the property of Medicengineering until they have been paid for in full. In the event of a culpable breach of contract by the contractual partner, in particular in the event of default in payment, Medicengineering is entitled to take back the subject matter of the contract. The withdrawal of the subject matter of the contract by Medicengineering does not constitute a withdrawal from the contract, unless Medicengineering has expressly stated this in writing. Any costs incurred in this connection are fully borne by the contractual partner.
5.2 The contractual partner is obliged to treat the subject of the contract with care for the duration of the retention of title, as well as in the case of loan and demo devices. In particular, he is obliged to insure them adequately at replacement value at his own expense against theft, fire and water damage. If maintenance and inspection work is required, the contractual partner must carry this out regularly at its own expense. In the case of rental and demo devices, liability is transferred to the contractual partner or user.
5.3 According to our General Terms and Conditions 1.2, the following also applies to entrepreneurs: We reserve ownership of the goods until all claims from an ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. You may resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business; You assign all claims arising from this resale to us in advance - regardless of whether the reserved goods are combined or mixed with a new item - in the amount of the invoice amount, and we accept this assignment. You remain authorized to collect the claims, but we may also collect claims ourselves if you fail to meet your payment obligations.
5.4 The contractual partner is obliged to notify Medicengineering immediately in writing during the retention of title, in the event of seizures or other interventions by third parties, so that Medicengineering can file a lawsuit. If the third party is unable to reimburse Medicengineering for the judicial and extrajudicial costs of a lawsuit in accordance with § 771 ZPO, the contractual partner is liable for the damage incurred by Medicengineering.
6. Transfer of risk
6.1 Deliveries by Medicengineering to contractual partners take place ex warehouse in 88639 Wald, Germany. In the case of deliveries without further services, the risk is transferred to the contractual partner upon delivery of the contractual item.
If the subject of the contract was ordered from the customer with services from Medicengineering, the risk is also transferred to the customer if the customer delays the provision of the services for reasons for which he is responsible. The due date of the invoice amount is not inhibited and is based on our General Terms and Conditions 4.3.
6.2. If the contractual partner already uses the subject matter of the contract before the services ordered by Medicengineering are provided, the risk is transferred to him at the start of use. Medicengineering excludes liability in this case.
6.3. The risk passes to the entrepreneur when the subject of the contract is handed over to the person carrying out the transport; this also applies to transport by Medicengineering. Transport damage must be reported to Medicengineering and the delivering forwarder immediately in writing.
6.4. If the buyer is a consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the item sold, also in the case of mail order, only passes to the buyer when the item is handed over.
6.5. The handover is the same if the buyer is in default of acceptance.
7. Guarantee
7.1 The contractual partner is obliged to examine the goods immediately upon arrival for transport damage and obvious defects and to notify Medicengineering in writing immediately and within one week at the latest. Failure to comply with this obligation to examine and report in accordance with Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) can result in the assertion of the warranty claim being excluded.
7.2 If the delivered contractual item is defective, we shall initially provide a guarantee to entrepreneurs, at our option, by eliminating the defect (subsequent improvement) or by delivering a defect-free item (replacement). If the improvement is unsuccessful, the contractual partner can in principle, at his option, request a reduction in price or a withdrawal from the contract. However, in the event of a minor breach of contract, in particular minor defects, the contractual partner is not entitled to withdraw from the contract. If the contractual partner chooses to withdraw from the contract after a failed improvement, he is not entitled to any additional claims for damages due to the defect.
7.3 Claims of the contractual partner due to the expenses necessary for the purpose of the repair, in particular transport, travel, labor and material costs, are excluded if the expenses increase because the contractual item delivered by us is subsequently moved to a location other than the branch of the contractual partner has been brought, unless the shipment corresponds to its intended use.
7.5 The warranty period is generally one year from delivery of the subject of the contract. A warranty period of 14 days applies to resellers. The warranty period is reduced to 6 months especially for endoscopes. The condition of the used goods offered by Medicengineering is accordingly described in great detail. In the case of hidden defects, we grant a 3-month guarantee in the legal sense. Manufacturer guarantees remain unaffected and are passed on by Medicengineering in full.
7.6 In the case of fraudulent concealment of a defect or in the case of the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of the contractual item at the time of the transfer of risk within the meaning of § 444 BGB (declaration by the seller that the purchased item has a certain property at the time of transfer of risk and that the seller is responsible for everyone regardless of fault Consequences of their absence), the rights of the contractual partner are based exclusively on the statutory provisions.
7.7 The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or wear and tear through use. If maintenance or care instructions are not followed, changes are made to the products, accessories are improperly installed, parts are exchanged or unsuitable care products are used, the warranty does not apply to defects that arise or have arisen as a result of the violation of the aforementioned provision.
7.8 Warranty claims of any kind against Medicengineering are fundamentally excluded if any components of the system are changed or replaced without the written consent of Medicengineering. This also applies to wearing parts, as well as to the case of other uses not previously mentioned, which deviate from the normal operational scope.
7.9 Only our own information and the manufacturer's product descriptions, which were included in the contract, apply as an agreement on the quality of the goods with entrepreneurs; We assume no liability for public statements by the manufacturer or other advertising statements.
7.10 The above restrictions and shortened deadlines do not apply to claims based on damage caused by Medicengineering, our legal representatives or vicarious agents
in the event of injury to life, body or health
in the event of willful or grossly negligent breach of duty as well as malice
in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract
and on the observance of which the contractual partner can regularly rely (cardinal obligations)
as part of a guarantee promise, if agreed
as far as the scope of the product liability law is opened.
8. Limitation of Liability
8.1 The above limitations of liability do not affect claims of the contractual partner from product liability. Furthermore, the limitations of liability do not apply in the case of attributable physical injury or damage to health or in the event of the loss of the life of the contractual partner.
8.2 In the case of slightly negligent breaches of main contractual obligations, Medicengineering's liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical, direct average damage based on the type of goods. This also applies to slightly negligent breaches of duty by the legal representatives or vicarious agents of Medicengineering.
8.3 In addition, Medicengineering is liable in accordance with the statutory provisions if the contractual partner asserts claims for damages based on intent or gross negligence, including intent or gross negligence on the part of the representatives or vicarious agents. Unless we are accused of grossly negligent or willful breach of duty, Medicengineering's liability is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring average damage.
8.4 Claims for damages by the contractual partner due to a defect expire one year after delivery of the contractual item. This does not apply if Medicengineering can be blamed for gross negligence, as well as in the case of attributable physical and health damage or the loss of the life of the contractual partner.
8.5 If the operating or maintenance instructions of Medicengineering are not followed, changes are made to the products, parts are exchanged or consumables are used that do not correspond to the original specifications, claims due to defects in the products do not apply if the contractual partner makes a corresponding substantiated claim that only one of these Circumstances caused the defect, not refuted.
8.6 We are not liable for material defects in used devices sent to entrepreneurs.
8.7 Medicengineering assumes no liability for the fact that the use of the hardware and software products does not interfere with the property rights of third parties.
9. Exclusion of liability for external links or content
For the content of links to other pages on the Internet, Medicengineering has no influence on the design and content of these linked pages. Medicengineering therefore hereby expressly distances itself from all content on all linked sites. This declaration applies to all links shown and to all contents of these linked pages.
We assume no liability for public statements made by the manufacturer of the products we offer or other advertising statements.
10. Right of withdrawal
Withdrawal from the contract is only entitled if Medicengineering can prove a breach of contractual obligations. The withdrawal is to be withdrawn within fourteen days from the day on which he or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last subject of the contract.
The revocation must be made in writing by letter, fax or email to service@medicengineering.com.
Medicengineering only accepts the return of the contractual item in undamaged original packaging.
Timely dispatch is sufficient to meet the deadline.
The return must be sent to the address in accordance with point 19.
If the contractual item received by the contractual partner cannot be returned in whole or in part or can only be returned in a deteriorated condition, the contractual partner must compensate Medicengineering for the value. This does not apply if the deterioration is solely due to the examination of the subject matter of the contract, as it could be done in a shop. The contractual partner can avoid the obligation to pay compensation by not using the item as if it were his property and by refraining from anything that could impair or reduce the value of the contractual item.
In the case of returns, the contractual partner bears the costs of the return. Unfortunately, freight collect returns cannot be accepted.
Medicengineering offers free returns via PayPal. You can get more information about this directly from PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/refunded-returns/terms-and-conditions.

13. Online Dispute Resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution, which you can find here: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.
Consumers have the opportunity to resolve their disputes on this platform.
In order to settle disputes arising from a contractual relationship with a consumer or whether such a contractual relationship even exists, Medicengineering is obliged to participate in dispute settlement procedures before a consumer arbitration board. The general consumer arbitration board of the Center for Arbitration e.V., Straßburger Straße 8, 77694 Kehl am Rhein, www.verbübers-schlichter.de is responsible. We will take part in a dispute settlement procedure before this office.
Furthermore, as a retailer, we are obliged to point out our e-mail address again at this point. Our email address is: service@medicengineering.com.
14. User software
If the contractual partner is provided with user software with our deliveries, he is granted the unlimited, non-exclusive right to use the software on the products supplied, in unchanged form and for the purposes stated in the product description. A copy of the software may only be made for backup purposes; any changes to the software are prohibited. The usage fee for the software is included in the purchase price. Updates are charged separately.
15. Services
15.1 Services such as assembly, commissioning, instruction, repair and customer service, if offered, are carried out by Medicengineering or by authorized specialist companies.
15.2 Before delivery of the contractual items, the contractual partner must ensure that the installation site is easily accessible, the structural requirements are in place, sufficient space, adequate ventilation, a floor suitable for the weight of the device, sufficient floor load capacity and the necessary electrical and IT connections are available, adequately protected against moisture and brine, and are adequately shielded from the rest of the practice / clinic area against the normal operating noises of the device.
15.3. Difficulties in delivery and installation can be invoiced separately, as can all additional costs that arise if the prerequisites mentioned under Section 15.2 are not met when the delivery is made on the day of the agreed installation date.
15.4. Spare parts and repairs that are outside of the warranty must be paid for separately by the contractual partner.
15.5 If, in the case of repairs, the cost estimate is exceeded by up to 10% (of the total amount), this is harmless and corresponds to standard practice. Should the costs rise by more than 10%, Medicengineering will inform the contractual partner about this and have to receive a new order.
16. Electro G
The contractual partner is responsible for the disposal of the products supplied by us (Electro G). In the event of disposal, the contractual partner waives the defense of the statute of limitations. Our delivery also releases the respective manufacturer of the product from the obligation to dispose of and take back the product.
17. Final provisions / place of jurisdiction and applicable law
German law applies to all contracts and agreements between you and Medicengineering, excluding the UN Sales Convention (CISG).
