§ 10 Warranty for Businesses

If you are placing your order with Schönbuch as a business, the following applies:

10.1 Delivered goods must be inspected by the customer as soon after delivery as is feasible according to standard business procedures. Notify us immediately if there is any defect. If there is no notification from the customer, the item is considered accepted, except in the case of a defect that could not be recognized upon inspection. Should such a defect appear at a later point in time, then it must be reported to us immediately after discovery, otherwise the item is considered to have been accepted along with said defect. Such shall not affect § 377 of the HGB [German Commercial Code]. The customer is also not relieved of his duty to inspect in the case where the business elects recourse under § 478 of the BGB. In the event the customer fails to report a defect claimed by his inspector in such cases, then the item is considered to have been accepted along with said defect.
10.2 In the event of a defect, we reserve the right to determine the manner of remedy based on the type of defect and the justified interests of the customer. A remedy is considered to have failed under these contracts after the third unsuccessful attempt. This section shall not apply in the event recourse under § 478 of the BGB is elected.
10.3 In the case of remedy for defects, we are obligated to bear the associated necessary expenses, particularly transport, travel, labor, and materials costs, only provided these are not increased due to the fact that the item is being shipped to a different location than the address or business office of the customer to which delivery was made. This section shall not apply in the event recourse under § 478 of the BGB is elected.
10.4 The statute of limitations for customer defect claims, including claims for compensation for damages, is one year. This shall not apply in the event recourse under § 478 of the BGB is elected, nor in cases pursuant to §§ 438 para. 1 no. 2 of the BGB and § 634a para. 1 no. 2 of the BGB. This shall also not apply for claims for compensation for damages due to loss of life, limb, or health or due to gross negligence or malicious breach of obligation by us or our agents. In cases where § 438 I No. 2 b BGB (items for structures) applies, defect claims of the contract partner have a statute of limitations of 2 years. The sale of used items is exempt from any defect claims.

§ 11 Customer Service

For questions, complaints, or returns, we can be reached by phone Mon. through Fri. 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at: +49 (0)9761 - 3962 - 0, or by e-mail at: info@schoenbuch.com.

§ 12 Applicable Law, Court of Jurisdiction
