General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery of CDQ Medical GmbH (CDQ) to be used in dealings with enterprises, legal entities governed by public law and special trusts under public law

1. General

These general business terms and conditions shall apply for all – as a general agreement also for all future –business relations between CDQ and its customers and for all offers, deliveries and services of CDQ. The present terms and conditions of delivery shall apply exclusively; any conditions of the customer or third parties deviating from or conflicting with these conditions shall not apply and shall only then and insofar become a part of the contract to the extent that tshs has expressly given its agreement in written form. This shall also apply in the event that CDQ being aware of conflicting or differing terms and conditions of the customer provides deliveries and services without reservation or CDQ refers to letters of the customer which contain or refer to terms of business of the customer or third parties.

Additions and/or amendments to the contracts concluded between CDQ and the customer on the basis of these general terms and conditions of sale and delivery as well as these terms and condition of sale and delivery themselves shall require the written form in order to be valid. With the exception of executive directors, or the authorised signatories and authorised agents, employees of CDQ are not entitled to make any oral agreements that deviate from these conditions. Legally relevant declarations and notifications, which are submitted or are required to be submitted by the customer to CDQ after conclusion of the contract require the written form in order to be valid.

We store and process your data for execution of the contract concluded between you and us. Further information about our handling of your data and your rights can be found in our data protection declaration at https://www.cdq-medical.com/legal-notice/.

2. Conclusion of contract

Offers of CDQ are subject to change and non-binding. Customer orders are binding and the customer is bound to his order for a period of 14 calendar days from receipt of the order at CDQ. During this time, CDQ can accept the customer’s order by an order acknowledgement in written form or by delivery of the goods to the customer.

Product descriptions, drawings and presentations of the goods, technical data and other information from CDQ about the goods or services are only guidelines and approximations, insofar as the usability of the product and/or service for the purpose of the contract does not require precise conformity. These statements and presentations are descriptions of the goods and/or services, but not guaranteed characteristics. Provided that this does not impair the contractually stipulated purpose of the goods and/or services, customary variations are permissible.

3. Prices and payment

The prices of CDQ are valid ex works plus the applicable rate of value added tax, for deliveries exclusive of packaging, transport and freight. The customer shall bear any customs duties. Within Germany, CDQ delivers free to door starting from a purchase order value of

€ 150,-, below this purchase order value the packaging and forwarding charges exclusively are € 9,20. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, the purchase price shall be immediately payable and due for payment within14 calendar days from the date of receipt of the invoice from CDQ at the customer and delivery of the goods. The customer defaults on the expiration of the aforementioned payment deadline. The customer shall only have a right of retention or right of set off regarding those counter-claims that are not disputed or have been recognised by declaratory judgement.

4. Delivery

If CDQ gives dates or deadlines for the delivery, they shall be considered as non-binding guide figures if these dates or deadlines are not expressly designated as binding, or been expressly agreed between the parties. If the parties have agreed shipment of the goods to the customer, the time at which the goods were transferred to the forwarding agent, carrier or other third party commissioned with transport is decisive. Moreover, the time at which CDQ notified the customer of readiness for dispatch is decisive for compliance with delivery deadlines and delivery dates. All delivery deadlines and dates are subject to correct and timely delivery of goods by our suppliers, unless the non-delivery or delay was caused by events for which CDQ is accountable. CDQ will inform the customer immediately if delays in delivery dates or delivery deadlines are impending due to incorrect or untimely self-supply.

CDQ shall not be liable for delays in delivery or impossibility of delivery due to force majeure or other circumstances beyond the control of CDQ which are caused by events not forseeable at the time of concluding the contract. If the delivery becomes impossible for CDQ due to such events or because of force majeure or is unreasonably difficult considering the value of the goods, CDQ shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract. If CDQ is only temporarily prevented from delivering by such events or force majeure, the delivery deadlines are prolonged or the delivery dates are extended by the period of duration of the impairment, plus a reasonable start-up period of one week. In this case the customer will be entitled to withdraw from the contract, if the customer cannot reasonably be expected to agree to the delayed delivery and he immediately informs tshs to this effect in written form after CDQ has informed the customer of the obstacle to delivery. The customer's right to withdraw from the contract shall remain unaffected in cases of impossibility of performance pursuant to statutory requirements CDQ is entitled to partial deliveries insofar as a partial delivery does not incur additional effort or additional costs for the customer, the delivery of the remaining goods is ensured and if a partial delivery is useable for the customer within the framework of the contract purpose.

5. Retention of title

Until complete fulfilment of all claims of CDQ towards the customer arising from the contract on which the delivery is based, the goods remain the property of CDQ. As long as the demands of CDQ against the customer secured by retention of title are not settled, this party may not pledge or assign by way of security the goods secured by retention of title to third parties. If the goods delivered to the customer under retention of title are seized by third parties or if there are other accesses of third parties to the goods delivered under retention of title, the customer is obliged to draw the attention of the third party to the property of CDQ and to inform CDQ immediately in written form of this circumstance. If the customer fails to respond or to respond in due time to claims which have fallen due, CDQ shall be entitled to take back the goods delivered under reservation of title after CDQ has granted the customer a reasonable period of time for performance and this period of grace has elapsed unsuccessfully. In this case the customer shall bear the transport costs incurred for taking back the goods. If CDQ takes back the goods delivered to the customer under retention of title, this represents a withdrawal from contract; this also applies if CDQ seizes the goods which are subject to a retention of title.

The customer has the right to use, re-sell or process goods delivered under retention of title in the course of normal business. The following also applies as a supplementary rule: the customer now already assigns to CDQ claims arising from the resale of the goods delivered under retention of title. This also applies for claims of the customer in relation to the goods delivered under retention of title to which it is entitled against third parties or to which it would be entitled in future for other reasons (such as claims to insurance payments and/or from unauthorised action). CDQ accepts this assignment. The customer remains entitled to collect the aforementioned receivables and CDQ undertakes not to collect these receivables for as long as the customer fulfils its contractual obligations towards CDQ, especially does not default in payment, no petition to open insolvency proceedings on the assets of the customer is filed and there are no other deficiencies in the customer's performance capacity and solvency which endanger the purchase price claim of CDQ. If such an event occurs, however, the customer is obliged to notify its debtors of the assignment and name its debtors to CDQ and provide all information necessary for collecting these assigned receivables and to provide CDQ with all the pertinent documents. At the customer's request, CDQ shall release securities at the choice of CDQ, if the redeemable value of the securities surpasses the claims of CDQ by more than 10 %.

6. Warranty, claims for defects

The warranty period shall be 12 months. The customer is obliged to closely inspect the items delivered immediately after receipt and report any evident defects without delay to CDQ in written form. The goods are considered approved by the customer with regard to evident defects or defects which would be recognisable on immediate close examination, if the customer fails to report such defects in written form within seven working days after transfer of risk. As regards other defects, the goods shall be deemed to be approved by the customer if he does not notify CDQ of the defect in written form within seven days of discovering the defect. If the defect was already apparent to the customer at an earlier time on normal use, this earlier time point is determinative for the beginning of the time limit for lodging complaints.

If the goods are defective, CDQ can choose the method of subsequent contract fulfilment (improvement or replacement delivery). The right to refuse subsequent fulfilment pursuant to the statutory requirements remains unaffected. CDQ is entitled to make subsequent fulfilment dependent on payment of the purchase price. The customer is entitled, however, to retain a portion of the purchase price appropriate in relation to the defect.

7. Liability

CDQ shall be liable for compensation – for whatever legal reason – only in the event of intent or gross negligence. In the case of simple negligence, CDQ shall only be liable for damages resulting from a loss of life, bodily injuries or injuries to health as well as for damage resulting from a breach of an essential contractual obligation (a commitment, the fulfilment of which enables proper implementation of the contract in the first place and whose observance the contractual partner relies on and may rely on regularly), whereas the liability of CDQ is in this case limited to compensation of foreseeable, typically occurring damage. This liability limitation shall not apply to claims of the customer due to mandatory statutory conditions (e.g. Product Liability Act) and insofar as tshs has fraudulently concealed a defect or has given a guarantee for the quality of the goods and for claims arising from the breech of the Data Protection Act.

8. Place of performance, choice of law and jurisdiction

The place of fulfilment for all obligations arising from the contractual relationship is the location of the place of business of CDQ in Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock. The legal relationships between CDQ and the customer are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, as applicable for legal relations of domestic contracting parties. The Convention on the International Sale of Goods (UN Sales Convention) is ruled out. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for any disputes arising from the contractual relationship between CDQ and the customer is the location of the place of business of tshs in Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock. Mandatory legal regulations concerning the exclusive place of jurisdiction remain unaffected.
