(3) Should the customer wish to place an order under conditions other than those communicated, he may request an adjusted offer by e-mail and accept it upon receipt in accordance with § 3 paragraph 2.
(4) After receipt of the declaration of acceptance, the supplier sends the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail in which the customer’s order is listed again.

(3) If the customer is an entrepreneur, he shall bear the shipping risk.
§ 8 WARRANTY FOR MATERIAL DEFECTS
(1) The supplier is liable to the customer for material defects in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions, in particular §§ 434 ff BGB.
(2) The warranty period for goods delivered by the supplier to entrepreneurs is 12 months.
(3) Any further claims for damages on the part of the customer are excluded. Excluded from this are claims for damages by the customer arising from injury to life, limb or health or from the breach of essential contractual obligations (such as those which the contract, according to its content and purpose, specifically intends to impose on the supplier or the fulfilment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the customer regularly relies and may rely) as well as liability for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the supplier, its legal representatives or vicarious agents.
(4) In the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, the provider shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical for the contract if this was caused by simple negligence, unless the customer’s claims for damages are based on injury to life, limb or health. Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment is necessary to achieve the objective of the contract.
(5) The restrictions of paragraphs 1 and 2 also apply in favour of the legal representatives and vicarious agents of the supplier if claims are asserted directly against them.
(6) The provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected by paragraphs 3 to 5.
§ 9 FINAL AGREEMENTS
(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to contracts between the supplier and the customer to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If the customer is a consumer, this shall only apply if the customer is not thereby deprived of the protection granted to him by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of his habitual residence.
(2) If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the registered office of the supplier. This also applies if the customer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the customer’s place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is brought. The authority to also call upon the court at another legal place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
