15. If a defect, in the terms of the law on the sale of goods, exists and was demonstrably present at the time the risk was passed, and if the buyer fulfilled its obligation to check the goods and notify defects, Roser AG may, at its discretion, repair the faulty component/item, supply a replacement or, if the buyer forgoes repair or a replacement, grant the buyer a reduction in the purchase price. This obligation shall be statute-barred and lapse 12 months after supply. After this point, the buyer shall have no claims whatsoever, irrespective of whether the defect is visible or hidden.
The buyer shall not have the above rights in relation to the following defects:
- natural wear;
- condition of the goods or damage occurring after the risk has been passed;
- condition of the goods or damage due to force majeure.
All further claims on the part of the buyer, such as rescission of sale, reduction of purchase price, compensation (including liability for consequential losses) etc. are hereby expressly excluded.
16. Roser may request a down-payment and require payment of reasonable instalments at any time.
