2. Scope of services

The scope of services results from the order confirmation.

Prices are quoted ex works, excluding packaging, value-added tax and transport costs. The costs for packaging and transport shall be borne by the recipient. If the merchandise is transported by the recipient, STOBAG AG shall not be liable for transport damage, in the case of transport by STOBAG AG only for any damage to the place of unloading, but not for damage during unloading. The provision of personnel and the necessary infrastructure for unloading and disposal of the packaging material is the responsibility of the recipient.

3. Delivery dates

The delivery dates stated in the order confirmation will be adhered to to the best of our ability. Partial deliveries are possible at any time and are reserved. However, if delivery delays are unavoidable, your specialist partner will be informed immediately. Cancellation of contract and compensation for damages in the event of delays in delivery are expressly excluded.

The product price plus VAT agreed with the order confirmation shall apply. The costs for packaging, transport (including customs duties) and all other ancillary costs shall be borne by the recipient.

d) STOBAG AG expressly reserves the right to change prices in special circumstances.
