IV Terms and Conditions of Payment

The terms and conditions of payment and credit limits are based on the creditworthiness of the CC. The CC agrees that Korntex® obtains a corresponding credit report from an independent credit agency. In-house testing processes also influence the granting of certain terms of payment.
Cities , municipalities and public-sector enterprises are usually supplied on account.
Even if agreed to payment in advance, Korntex® reserves the right to deliver goods on account and/or to begin production of the goods before the payment is received. This applies both to neutral as well as for refined goods.

V Times of Delivery

Times of Delivery depend on the respective goods or services. You can find an estimated delivery time on the order confirmation, which you will receive after placing an order. However, this time of delivery is not binding for Korntex® and may differ in some cases due to force majeure.

Futhermore Korntex® reserves the right to partially deliver, and to supply the rest of the goods at a later stage. Both of these two cases, however, represent the absolute exeption.

If a product is not available as planned , Korntex® tries to advert the CC on the delivery shift in written form, and tries to name a new expected date of delivery.

VI Surcharge for Small Quantities

If the order value is under 95EUR, a surchage for small qualities of 10EUR is calculated.

VII Print Previews and Print Orders

There may be a slight difference in the colour of the print and the colour of the textiles or other products. Variations in the positioning of the logo and the logo size or the size and cut of the fabric are also possible.

The CC has the responsibility over the content of the print files as well as errors within those. Korntex® is only responsible for mistakes if the printed result differs to a great extent from the print preview. In this case, Korntex® reserves the right to accept the goods at their own expense back to correct the error and deliver the desired goods.

VIII Reprimand of Comercial Customers

The CC has to inform third parties of this reprimand.

For defects that traceably have occured before the transfer of the goods, Korntex® reserves the rights to decide whether the goods will be repaired or replaced. Defective items must be sent to Korntex® upon request. If Korntex® is unable to repair or replace the goods within a reasonable period of time, the CC may withdraw from the contract. For covering purchases, which the CC undertakes without the consent of Korntex®, Korntex® is not liable, especially in the case when Korntex® was not given the chance to repair or replace the goods. Claims for damages are excluded , unless they are based on intent or gross negligence.
