The purchaser is only allowed for set-off if the set-off-claim is undisputed or has been legally established. The purchaser is only permitted for retention for claims resulting from the same contact.

§ 6 Delivery
(1) Delivery requires the purchaser’s in-time and appropriate fulfillment of obligations. MediPac^® reserves the right to object to unfulfilled contracts.
(2) In case of default in acceptance or any other contract infringement by the purchaser, the purchaser has to compensate the damage including any additional expenditure. MediPac^® reserves the right to make further claims over and above this.

(3) MediPac is entitled for partial delivery and to invoice partial deliveries.
(4) Delivery dates result from the contract between the MediPac^® and the purchaser. Delivery times can only be observed after all technical and commercial issues are agreed and the purchaser fulfilled all of his obligations (e.g. agreed pre-payments, authorizations). Otherwise the delivery times are suitable extended.

(6) Extraordinary occurrences like labor disputes, sovereign measures, traffic disruptions, Acts of God / Force Majeure, and other occurrences out of MediPac^®’s influence release MediPac^® for the duration of their existence from the delivery obligation. In case of remaining disturbing occurrences MediPac is totally released from the obligation to deliver.
(7) In case of a delay of delivery or impossibility to deliver for which MediPac^® is responsible, compensation claims are inadmissible, except in cases of intent or gross negligence of MediPac^®.

(1) Unless otherwise agreed, delivery is made Ex Works MediPac^®, 53639 Koenigswinter, Germany. Loading, transportation, and unloading is done in the risk and on account of the purchaser. Goods are transported customarily packed according to the Packaging Ordinance. The packaging will be charged against cost price.

(2) If other terms than “Ab Werk” (Ex Works) are agreed, Incoterms 2010 shall apply.

(1) Until complete payment, MediPac^® remains the proprietor of the delivered goods. MediPac^® is entitled to retrieve the delivered goods in case of a purchaser’s contract breach, incl. default in payment.
(2) The purchaser has to handle the supplied goods with care and insure them and, if necessary, maintain them properly.

The purchaser herewith assigns to MediPac^® any and all of its claims out of such resale - independent if the goods were further processed or not. Notwithstanding MediPac^®’s right to collect the claim directly, the purchaser keeps the right to collect the claim himself. In this context MediPac commits itself not to collect the claim as long as the purchaser fulfills its payment obligations, the purchaser has not filed for bankruptcy, or something alike, and did not ceases payments.
