If a defect is discovered, we must be notified immediately. If the Customer fails to notify us, the goods shall be deemed approved, unless in the case of a hidden defect that was not visible during inspection. If such a defect is discovered subsequently, we must be notified immediately after discovery otherwise the goods shall be deemed accepted despite this defect. § 377 German Commercial Code shall not be affected. The Customer shall be obliged to perform an inspection, even in the event of recourse of the entrepreneur pursuant to § 478 German Civil Code. If in such case the Customer fails to inform us of the defect claimed by its customer, the goods shall be deemed to have been accepted despite this defect.

For these contracts, subsequent performance shall be deemed to have failed after the third unsuccessful attempt. This shall not apply in the event of recourse pursuant to § 478 German Civil Code.

10.2.3 In the event of subsequent performance to rectify defects, we shall be liable for necessary expenditure, particularly transportation, delivery, labour and material costs only insofar as these are not increased through transfer of the goods to a location other than the head office or commercial branch of the Customer to which the goods were delivered.
