6.12.

Where Primus co-ownership becomes null and void due to processing, combining or mixing with other goods, the Customer immediately assigns to Primus those of his rights of ownership in the new property or compound matter which correspond to the amount of the value of goods subject to retention of title by Primus. The Customer shall also be responsible for holding such rights in safe custody on the behalf of Primus and at Customer’s own expense. Any rights to co-ownership created as a result of such processing, combining or mixing shall be subject to section 7.1 of these Terms and Conditions.

The Customer shall be prohibited from any other kind of resale.

7.4. The Customer shall immediately assign to Primus any receivables resulting from a resale of goods initially sold with retention of Primus’s title. These will be used to substitute the goods under retention of title as collateral of the equivalent amount. The Customer shall only be entitled and authorized to resell such goods if his receivables therefrom accrue to Primus.

7.5. If the Customer resells goods under retention of Primus’s title together with goods from other suppliers at a certain total price, the Customer shall assign to Primus his receivables from such resale in the same amount as stated in the invoice for goods initially sold with retention of title by Primus.

Primus shall be entitled to such revocation if the Customer fails to meet his payment obligations under the business relationship with Primus in due course. If the preconditions for exercising a revocation right are fulfilled, the Customer shall promptly notify Primus of any assigned receivables with respective debtors, furnish all data required for collection of such receivables, hand over all related documentation and advise the debtors of such assignment. Primus reserves the right to personally advise the debtors of such assignment.

7.8. If the value of the collateral deposited for the benefit of Primus exceeds the amount of secured claims by a total of more than 50 % (fifty percent), the Customer shall be entitled to demand that Primus insofar release securities of the choice of Primus.

Such specifications and data shall in no way constitute a quality warranty but merely a description or labelling of the goods.

8.4. Certain characteristics are only considered as warranted if expressly confirmed in writing. A guarantee shall only be deemed issued if a characteristic is expressly denominated as „guaranteed” in writing.

8.5. Any rights of the Customer to receive damages or compensation shall be governed by the provisions in section 10 of these Terms and Conditions.

8.6. The Customer shall examine goods provided under the contract upon receipt. The Customer shall immediately give notice in writing of any kind of obvious material defects, deviations in quantity and false deliveries, within 3 (three) days after delivery, in any case before connection, mixture, processing or installation; otherwise, the goods are considered to be approved despite these defects, unless Primus has acted with fraudulent intent. The Customer shall immediately give notice in writing of any hidden material defects, at the latest within 3 (three) days after their discovery.

8.7. The Customer shall give Primus the opportunity to jointly assess the notified complaints and to be present at any withdrawal for material examination.

8.8. All claims for defects are subject to a limitation individually stated in the quotation.

8.9. Primus’s warranty for defects of quality and defects of title shall be limited to supplementary performance. Within the scope of Primus supplementary performance obligation, Primus is entitled, at Primus’s discretion, either to remedy the defect (supplementary performance) or to the delivery of faultless material (replacement). If Primus’s supplementary performance is delayed beyond a commensurate period of time or if the supplementary performance is unsuccessful despite repeated efforts, the Customer is entitled to reduce the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract. A withdrawal from the contract is excluded if the defect is irrelevant. Furthermore, in the event of faultless partial deliveries, the Customer may only withdraw from the entire if he can evidence that he has no interest in the partial performance.  Further claims, in particular claims for reimbursement of expenses and claims for damages, are excluded unless provided otherwise in the following section 10.

8.10. The Customer shall return the defective goods to Primus for subsequent improvement or replacement at his own risk, unless a reshipment is not possible because of the kind of delivery. Primus shall bear the costs for transportation due to supplementary performance, however only from the place where the good has been delivered to according to the terms of contract and limited by the amount of the purchase price.

8.11. The Customer has to give Primus the necessary time and opportunity for subsequent improvement or replacement. Only in the event of urgent cases of risk to the plant safety, the protection against unreasonably high damages or delay with the removal of defects, the Customer shall be entitled to cure the defect by himself or by a third party after prior notice and to demand from Primus restitution of the necessary costs.

8.12. The processing or installation of delivered items is always deemed to be a waiver of the notice of defects to the extent the defect was obvious.

8.13. In the event of legitimate notices of defects, payments by the Customer may only be withheld in an adequate proportion to the material defects occurred. In the event of an unjustified notice of defects, Primus is entitled to demand from the Customer reimbursement of the expenses resulting therefrom.

8.17. Improper or incorrect use, fair wear and tear, defective or careless treatment, improper maintenance, inappropriate operating materials, mechanical, chemical, electronic, electric and comparable influences which do not correspond to the average standard influences are not subject to any warranty rights.

8.18. If Primus liability for defects is based on goods which Primus has acquired from third parties, the Customer shall exclusively assert any claims against Primus’s supplier. In such an event, Primus shall assign Primus` claims against Primus’s supplier to the Customer. The Customer shall accept the assignment. If the legal proceeding against Primus supplier shall fail, Primus shall be liable according to section 10 of these Terms and Conditions.

If the Customer returns the loan unit in unserviceable condition or with a different serial number or with incomplete/ incorrect paperwork, Primus reserves the right to have the unit repaired/overhauled or recertified at the Customer`s expense.

9.2. Core Return Policy

a) If the Customer agrees on standard or flat exchange sale, the Customer will be advised of and billed a core charge.

The core charge will be credited to the Customer’s account upon receipt and acceptance of the core.

b) Core returns are due within 10 (ten) days domestic and 15 (fifteen) days international from the date the exchange unit was shipped. A late return of a core unit will result in a late return penalty of a 15 % (fifteen percent) daily charge of the exchange sale price. This charge will incur daily until the core unit is received by Primus. If the core unit has not been returned after 30 (thirty) days from the date of shipment, the sale will be considered outright, and the core charge will not be credited.

e) By returning a core unit, subject to lifetime limitation with less life remaining than the exchange unit provided, the Customer agrees that the core unit will be sent for overhaul at the Customer`s expense.

f) It is the Customer’s responsibility to provide proof of the shipment and delivery of all outstanding core units.

g) All units containing liquids must be completely drained and sealed to prevent leakage during shipment and, where applicable, must comply with regulations for the shipment of dangerous substances.

9.3.  Return of the unused parts

a) Upon receipt, the Customer shall inspect the parts and immediately notify Primus in writing of any non-conformity and shall afford Primus a reasonable opportunity to correct any actual non-conformity.
