2. Conclusion of contract and prices
(1) By completing the customer's order in our online shop, the customer submits a binding purchase offer. Insofar as we subsequently send an automated confirmation of receipt, this does not yet constitute acceptance of the customer's purchase offer. A purchase contract for the goods is only concluded when we expressly declare acceptance of the purchase offer or if we separate the goods without prior express declaration of acceptance and send them to the customer.

Insofar as deliveries are made ex works to the buyer, we hereby agree with the buyer in advance that the goods will be stored free of charge by the buyer with the care of a prudent businessman with the delivery to the buyer. We further agree with the buyer that these goods marked by invoice are also subject to our retention of title.
The buyer is obliged to allow us to inspect the remaining property goods at any time. We are entitled at any time to issue a temporary or conditional prohibition on the sale of the reserved goods in writing, to mark the reserved goods as such or to take the reserved goods directly into our possession by taking them back. Such a withdrawal shall not be deemed a withdrawal from the contract.
Rather, we are entitled to properly exploit the returned goods and to credit them with the recycling proceeds to the purchase price owed, deducting the recycling costs.
(2) The buyer may only sell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business under his normal terms and conditions, and only as long as he is not in default.

The buyer is obliged to enable us to intervene in a timely and proper manner, intervention costs are borne by the buyer.
(6) All claims, claims, ancillary rights and securities arising from the future sale of our reserved goods are hereby assigned to us in advance upon the entry into force of these terms of delivery and payment until full payment of all our claims. If the buyer sells the reserved goods together with other goods not subject to our retention of title without or after processing, mixing or combination, the assignment of the claim with all ancillary rights from the resale shall only apply in the amount of the invoice value of the respectively sold reserved goods.
We are entitled and the buyer is obliged upon request to notify the buyer's customers of this assignment. The buyer is also obliged to provide us with the information necessary to assert our rights against the customer and to hand over documents to us.
(7) The buyer is obliged not to make any agreements with his customers that can exclude or impair our rights in any way. In particular, this applies to agreements that are likely to impair or nullify the advance assignment of the claim to us, in particular prohibitions of assignment with third parties are inadmissible. Existing prohibitions of assignment must be reported to us immediately in writing.
