(1) All unit prices are exclusive of VAT. Unless otherwise agreed, offers are valid for 90 days. Orders only become binding upon confirmation by the entrepreneur. Changes in dimensions and design, changes to the assembly surface and special accessories result in corresponding price corrections. Additional charges for installation on facades with external thermal insulation remain reserved. In the event of extraordinary events occurring between the conclusion of the contract and its execution (e.g. natural disaster, epidemic, pandemic, currency collapse, massive currency devaluation), the entrepreneur is entitled to withdraw from the contract with a refund of payments already made. The entrepreneur is entitled to involve third parties to carry out the work.

4. Consequences of revocation

(1) Please note: The right of withdrawal does not apply to goods that are not prefabricated and for whose production an individual selection or determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer. Products such as windows, doors, front doors, roller shutters, external blinds, fabric blinds, roller shutters, insect screens, pool profiles, interior window sills, aluminum window sills and cover strips, which are manufactured and delivered according to your measurements or selections and selected stop/direction of rotation, are goods for which the right of withdrawal is excluded.

Delayed deliveries due to force majeure, operational disruptions, accidents, illness and material procurement difficulties such as delays in delivery on the part of the manufacturer do not give rise to any claim for damages or contract cancellation. Contractual penalties are not accepted.

8. Shipping, storage and handling on site

(1) Delivery is usually free to the construction site or the corresponding valley railway station. Truck access to the construction site as well as the free use of cranes and goods lifts must be guaranteed on site. A lockable room must be made available free of charge to store the delivered material. At construction sites, a parking space for containers must be provided. For rail transport, packaging is charged separately. Stove-coated parts must not be covered with adhesive tape.

Electrical systems and central blind controls may only be put into operation in the presence of one of the company's specialists. The entrepreneur declines all liability for damage to lines of any kind as a result of spraying or other work and the resulting consequences, unless the purchaser can prove that he or his representative informed the company's staff in a timely manner about the location of these lines. Deductions for damage will only be recognized if a report signed by the company's staff is available. The following additional conditions apply to garage doors: The garage must be free of stored material.

Any defects must be recorded and a reasonable period of time agreed for the entrepreneur to rectify them.

The entrepreneur, but not the customer, is entitled to propose a reduction or change instead of repair. According to SIA, the guarantee is two years from the invoice date (including motor drives and controls). Retention of payments or objections to offsetting as security for the guarantee obligation are excluded. Exclusions:

a) Defects resulting from improper use by the customer or third parties are not covered by the warranty, in particular if the usage regulations are not observed or if the duty of care required due to the weather is not observed. Damage caused by storms, hail, thunderstorms, force majeure, extreme environmental influences, operation in icy conditions, minor abrasion damage, color fading, replacement of components subject to normal wear and tear, all silicone joints (leaking silicone joints are considered natural wear and tear. Replacement is considered maintenance), inadequate maintenance by the customer, glass breakage after the glass has been installed, minor deviations in color or shine, deviations in color or quality during subsequent deliveries and repairs as well as cleaning damage

b) For any type of blinds (slat blinds, fabric blinds, sun blinds, parasols, roller shutters, etc.) there is no warranty obligation for damage as a result of use in stormy weather, even if they are operated with an automatic wind system

e) There is no liability for water damage on facades with external and thermal insulation

f) Products whose minimum or maximum dimensions are outside the limits stated in the companies' brochures are not covered by the guarantee

The warranty is also excluded in the case of defects that would have been detectable upon proper inspection in accordance with Section 11 above. For warranty work, easy access to the sun and weather protection systems must be available on site, whereby any scaffolding must be constructed in accordance with SUVA and building regulations at the customer's expense and responsibility. Repairs carried out by third parties will void the warranty; their costs will not be covered. Cranks on folding roller shutters must not be dismantled on site. Warranty cases do not allow due payments to be postponed or claims for damages to be made. If delivery is made without assembly, the warranty obligation is limited to the material.

15. Limitation of Liability

(1) In any case, the entrepreneur is only liable for direct and immediate damage to delivered/assembled goods caused by the customer, provided that this can be proven to be due to gross negligence or intentional behavior on the part of the entrepreneur. The entrepreneur assumes no liability for indirect or consequential damages.

16. Conversions and renovations

(1) Unnecessary trips, waiting times and aggravating circumstances will be charged at the regular rate. The dismantling work required for the inspection (roller shutter lids, etc.) is always carried out at the risk and peril of the purchaser. The customer must remove curtains, clear flower windows and cover floors in a timely manner. Where this does not happen, any claims for damages will be rejected. The tenants must be notified on site before work begins so that all apartments are accessible.
