General terms and conditions

  1. General 
    ShadowLine GmbH is hereinafter referred to as the seller, the contractual partner as the buyer. Our deliveries, services, offers and other legal transactions take place exclusively on the basis of these terms and conditions. These therefore also apply to all future business relationships, even if they have not been agreed separately. These terms and conditions are deemed to have been accepted at the latest upon receipt of the goods or services. Counter-confirmations by the buyer with reference to his business or purchasing conditions are hereby rejected. Deviations from these terms and conditions are only effective if they are confirmed by us in writing. If individual conditions are ineffective, the remaining terms and conditions remain in effect.
  2. Offers
    All offers made by the seller, including information on dimensions, drawings, images, descriptions and other performance data, even if offers made by the seller through third parties, are subject to change and non-binding, unless something else has been expressly agreed in writing. The buyer is bound by the orders and declarations submitted to the seller. A contract with the seller comes about through actual execution of the order, written or telex order confirmation from the seller. Telephone orders are only carried out at the risk of the buyer, as correct recording and processing can only be guaranteed if they are in writing.
  3. Prices 
    The prices of the price list valid on the day of delivery apply. We reserve the right to change prices. The prices include VAT, which is calculated at the rate of VAT applicable on the day of delivery.
  4. Payments 
    Invoices are due within 30 days of the invoice date without deduction. Discounts can only be granted if all due payment obligations from previous deliveries have been met and the invoice amount has been received by the seller within 8 days of the invoice date. The receipt of the invoice amount on the seller's account is decisive for the timeliness of payment. In the case of newly entered business relationships or in the event of payment difficulties and default of payment by the buyer, the seller is entitled to deliver deliveries only against cash payment, cash on delivery or prepayment. Offsetting of counterclaims by the buyer with claims by the seller is excluded, unless the counterclaim is an undisputed or legally established claim. In the event of default, the seller is entitled to charge default interest at a rate of 2% above the current discount rate of the Deutsche Bundesbank.

The buyer is responsible for disposing of any packaging material.
  6. Warranty
    In the event of justified complaints for which the seller is responsible, the seller will choose to either exchange the goods or eliminate the defect in the most cost-effective way.  We provide 5 years warranty for systems and function and 2 years warranty for fabrics and textiles. In the event of the removal of the defect, the seller is obliged to bear all expenses necessary for the purpose of the removal of the defect, but only transport, travel, labor and material costs, insofar as these do not increase because the goods are moved to a location other than Place of fulfillment was brought. If the rectification of defects fails or the seller is not ready or unable to rectify the defect or deliver a replacement, the buyer is entitled to withdraw from the contract or to request a reduction in the purchase price. Any further claims of the buyer, in particular claims for damages including lost profit or other financial losses of the buyer, are excluded.  The above limitations of liability do not apply if the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence on the part of the seller. Furthermore, not even if the buyer makes claims for damages due to the lack of a guaranteed property. Customary or technically unavoidable deviations in terms of color, weight, execution or design cannot be objected to. Incidentally, complaints must be made within 8 days of delivery. Hidden defects must be reported immediately after they appear.
