9.2. As soon as the goods have passed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 in the actual power of disposal of the Buyer or the third party(s) engaged by the Buyer, the Buyer is obliged to adequately insure these goods against theft, damage, destruction, etc.

10 Liability

10.1. If one of the Parties fails to fulfil one or more of its obligations under the agreement, the other Party will, by its part, default on it, unless fulfilment of the relevant obligation(s) is already permanently impossible, in which case the negligent Party is immediately in default, this insofar as these general terms and conditions do not provide otherwise. The notice of default will be made in writing, whereby the negligent Party will be granted a reasonable period of time to still fulfil its obligations. This period shall be of a fatal period. TSW’s liability towards the Buyer for direct damage in the event of non-performance, late or improper performance is limited to the net invoice value of the goods or services in question, but this up to a maximum of € 25,000,-.

2. reasonable costs incurred to determine the cause and extent of the damage to the extent that the determination relates to direct damage within the meaning of these Terms of Delivery; reasonable costs incurred to prevent or limit damage to the extent that the party suffering the damage demonstrates that these costs have led to the limitation of direct damage within the meaning of these terms and conditions.

10.6. Without prejudice to the above, TSW is not liable if the damage is due to intent and/or gross negligence and/or culpable conduct or injudicious or improper use of the delivered goods by the Buyer.

11 Indemnification

11.1. The Buyer indemnifies TSW, insofar as the law allows, with regard to liability towards one or more third parties, which arises from and/or is related to the execution of the agreement, regardless of whether the damage has been caused or inflicted by TSW or by its auxiliary press(s), auxiliaries or (delivered) goods or services. In addition, the Buyer indemnifies TSW, to the extent permitted by law, against all claims of third parties in connection with any infringement of intellectual property rights of these third parties.

12 Force majeure & unforeseen circumstances

12.1. If performance on the part of the TSW or purchase on the part of the Buyer is delayed by force majeure for more than one month, each of the parties – excluding further rights – is entitled to dissolve the agreement in accordance with the law. What has already been paid or performed under the agreement will then be settled pro rata between the parties.

If matters covered by this right fall out of the power of TSW, TSW is entitled to claim these goods, as if they were the owner themselves.

14 Dissolution

14.1. Each of the parties has the right to terminate the agreement with immediate effect without further notice of default and judicial intervention, in whole or in part, in the cases described below and to the extent set out below:

1. if the other party has applied for or obtained a suspension of payment or the other party has been declared bankrupt;
2. when the other party’s company is voluntarily or involuntarily liquidated;
3. when the other party’s company merges or is taken over;
4. where a significant part of the assets of the other Party is seized;
5. where other circumstances arise in which the continuation of the agreement cannot reasonably be required.

14.2. Each of the parties shall have the power to dissolve the agreement only if the other Party – after a proper and as detailed written notice of default as possible with a proposal for a reasonable period for the remedy of the shortcoming attributably fails to fulfil essential obligations under the agreement and provided that that shortcoming justifies the dissolution.

14.3 If the agreement is dissolved, TSW’s claims against the Buyer are immediately payable. If TSW suspends the fulfilment of the obligations, it retains its claims under the law and agreement.
