§ 8 Statutory Rights

(1) Consumers:
a) It is Marcotec’s responsibility to ensure that the product is free of faults at the moment of handing it over to the Customer. If a fault shows within six months after delivery, it will be presumed that the product had been faulty at the time of handing over, except if that supposition is not in accordance with the type of product or type of fault. If the fault becomes apparent after the expiration of six months, then the Customer must demonstrate and provide prove that the product was faulty at the time of delivery.
b) If the product is faulty, the Customer has the right to choose between the contract’s fulfilment by repair of the product or by the replacement of the product. Marcotec is entitled to refuse the chosen type of fulfilment if that is only achievable with unreasonable costs and the other type of fulfilment does not bring considerable disadvantages to the Customer.
c) If the contract’s fulfilment can not be achieved the Customer has the right, according to his choice, to reduce the payment of the price or withdraw from the contract and to claim damages. If the fault is minor the Customer has no right to withdraw from the contract.
d) The Customer’s statutory rights expire within two years. If a used product has been sold the statutory rights expire within one year.

(2) Professionals
a) If an order is part of a Customer’s trading business, then the Customer is obliged to check the delivered goods immediately regarding deviations from specified condition and amount. Marcotec must be notified by the Customer of visible defects or deviations within a one week. If notification is not made within one week then statutory rights will be excluded. Non-visible damage or defect in the supplied product must be reported in writing within one week from discovery. The punctual dispatch of the notification suffices to comply with the time limit.
In this case the Customer will have to prove all conditions for his claims under statutory rights, in particular the specific fault itself, the time of its discovery and the timeliness of the faults reporting.
b) In cases of a manufacturing fault or damaged product Marcotec will repair or replace the product according to Marcotec’s decision.

§ 9 Limitation of Liability

(1) Marcotec is liable for claims arising out of death, injury to body, or health. In respect to other loss or damage, Marcotec accepts liability as far as they have been caused by wilful misconduct or gross negligence or by breach of an essential contractual duty by Marcotec or persons whom it employs to perform its obligation. A duty is essential if its fulfilment makes it possible to carry out the contract and if the Customer may usually trust in its fulfilment. Any further responsibilities for loss or damage are excluded. This condition does not affect any guarantees issued by Marcotec or rights under the Produkthaftungsgesetz (Product-safety-law).
(2) According to the current state of technique it can not be guaranteed that the transmission of data via internet will be error-free and/or possible at any time. Marcotec is therefore not responsible for the all-time availability of the on-line-shop.

§ 10 Governing law and jurisdiction

This does not apply to a Consumer if it would deprive him of relative protections granted by mandatory legal provisions under the laws of that state where he has his permanent residence. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
(2) If the Customer is a tradesman, a legal entity or special asset under public law the contractual relationship is subject to exclusive jurisdiction of the courts responsible for the district where Marcotec has its seat registered. The same applies if the Customer has no place of general jurisdiction in Germany or if its place of residence or its whereabouts are unknown at the time of lodging the claim.

§ 11 Legal consequences of non-incorporation and invalidity

If any part of these Ts&Cs is deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable that condition will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition. The contract is invalid if one party would suffer unreasonable hardship if he were bound by the contract even after the amendment provided for above.
