1.1 | The General Terms and Conditions regulate the rights and obligations of INFOX GmbH & Co. Informationslogistik KG, Genker Str. 20, 53842 Troisdorf-Spich (hereinafter "INFOX") and their customers for services from INFOX, in particular in the area of design, manufacture, dispatch and the storage of information and advertising materials of all kinds (hereinafter referred to as "information materials") as well as all consulting and information services to be provided. |
||
1.2 | The contractual relationships between INFOX and the customer are exclusively regulated in these terms and conditions, the offer made by INFOX (hereinafter "offer") and the price list (attachment). | ||
2. | Conclusion of contract | ||
All offers submitted by INFOX are subject to change and non-binding. Only with the written confirmation of orders from customers by INFOX or the execution of the order will they become binding for INFOX. | |||

4.1 | INFOX sends informational material from its customers at least once a week (hereinafter referred to as "shipping campaign"). The information material delivered by the customer or produced on his behalf by INFOX will be delivered on the date communicated by INFOX (hereinafter "delivery date"). Delivery dates deviating from this will only be binding if the parties agree on this individually and in writing. INFOX can postpone a delivery date without the customer's consent if there are unforeseen difficulties in processing the information material received by the customer, which could not have been foreseen when the delivery date was agreed, or if the information material did not reach INFOX in good time. In this case, shipping will only take place with the next regular shipping campaign. |
||
4.2 | If a customer sends information material to INFOX and a contract between the parties and/or the execution of the order is omitted due to a circumstance for which the customer is responsible, the customer is obliged to pay INFOX a reasonable storage fee for the time the information material is stored. If the customer does not collect the information material within a month after written request from INFOX, INFOX is entitled to destroy this information material. The customer is obliged to reimburse INFOX for the costs of the destruction. |

5. | Liability | ||
5.1 | INFOX is only liable for damages which are based on a breach of duty by INFOX if they, their legal representatives or vicarious agents have intentionally or grossly negligent committed the breach of duty.

Liability for unforeseeable financial loss is excluded. Should an insurance policy taken out by INFOX replace any further damage caused by INFOX, INFOX will use the sum insured to compensate for the damage suffered by its customers. |
||
5.2 | INFOX's liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected. |
||
5.3 | Liability in the cases of section 5.1 sentence 2 is limited to the amount of the remuneration agreed in accordance with the order.

||
6.2 | INFOX is not obliged to check the information material or its content delivered by the customer to INFOX for correctness of content, completeness or compliance with the legal provisions. |
