§1 General terms
Our deliveries, services and offers are carried out exclusively according to our Terms and Conditions. Contrary terms and conditions of customers are invalid. Receipt of deliveries or partial deliveries is regarded in every case as recognition of our Terms and Conditions.

§2 Quotations and contract of sale
Quotations are without engagement. The seller reserves the right to realise technical changes and changes of price. Changes of price are only permitted when between completion of a contract and the stipulated delivery date lie more than four months; in this case the sales price valid on the day of delivery is applied. When delivery is realised within four months the price valid on the day of the completion of the contract is applied in every case. The buyer is authorised to withdraw from the contract for non-compliance of the delivery period only in the case that he/she has set a respite in writing of at least four weeks. Compensation claims because of delayed deliveries are excluded unless the delayed delivery is due to intentional or grossly negligent breaches of contract by the buyer or by a legal representative of the buyer. Offers and acceptances or confirmations of offers are realised on condition that the respective goods are delivered to us in time and in sufficient quantities. Should this not be the case, we are authorised to withdraw from the contract after a period of 14 days. Delivery periods and dates are to be understood as approximate. Early deliveries are permitted. All deliveries are carried out ex warehouse resp. ex branch office. We reserve the right to carry out partial deliveries.

§3 Prices
Our prices are final prices including the legal VAT valid at the date of your order. The prices correspond to the standing of the respective Risse catalogue that is valid then. In the case of unforeseeable, extraordinary price increases by the manufacturer and currency fluctuations we reserve the right to change prices. Prices are, provided that no other agreements have been made, for cash payment by COD. Deliveries are carried out ex works, freight collect. Packaging costs are charged in addition to the cost price. The disposal of transport, outer and other packagings by the customer is already deducted with 0,3 % from the net value of the goods. The net value of every invoice is due within 20 days. In the case of direct sales ex works, payment has to be made in cash.

§4 Dispatch
We reserve the right to choose transport routes and means of transportation. We deliver our products, provided that no other agreements have been made expressively, only in the inland by COD, at buyer’s risk and expense. The risk is transferred to the buyer as soon as the goods have left the seller’s premises. Is the delivery delayed without fault of the seller, the goods are stored at buyer’s risk and expense. In the case of transport damages the post office in charge of the delivery, the railway company or the forwarding agent is to be informed. Express deliveries have to be agreed upon beforehand and are charged the buyer according to the amount of the expenses. Should the customer reject the receipt of the goods, we are entitled to set a respite one week after provisioning the goods. Has no receipt taken place until then, we can withdraw from the sales contract and demand compensation for non-fulfilment of the contract. Subsequent deliveries are sent to you without freight and packaging charges. Deliveries into foreign countries is possible against COD payment or payment in advance.

§5 Reservation of title
We reserve the title to the delivered goods until complete payment has taken place. In the case of behaviour contrary to the terms of the contract, especially in the case of delays in payment, we are entitled to withdraw from the contract provided that a corresponding reminder has been sent. The buyer is entitled to process and sell the goods that are under reserve within the bounds of the regular business activity provided that he/she is not in delay. Distraints or transfers by way of security are not allowed. To be on the safe side, the buyer hands over to us already now to the full extent all claims from resales or other legal grounds that relate to the goods that are under reserve. We entitle the buyer until revoked to collect the debts handed over to us on his/her account in his/her own name. Upon request the buyer will disclose the transfer and give us the necessary information and documents. The claims transferred to us will be released upon the buyer’s request if they exceed the selling price claims that have not yet been settled by more than 20 %.

§6 Liability
The seller is liable only in the case of deliberate acts and gross negligence. Acts of God, riots, strikes, shutouts and major breakdowns that happen through no fault of our own change dates and extend periods according to the duration of the performance disruptions caused by these circumstances. In the case of performance delays and impossibilities on the part of the seller, as far as they are based on slight negligence of the seller, possible claims for compensation are limited to the amount of the selling price and to those damages that arise from the procuring of goods from other sources. Independently of a default of the seller, possible claims of the buyer towards the seller are not affected according to the product liability law.

§7 Guarantee
Every trade sample is to be checked immediately upon receipt. Every fault is to be reported without delay as soon as it becomes obvious, and its immediate elimination has to be arranged. Guarantee claims fall under the statute of limitation as soon as the guarantee period of 24 months has expired. For the calculation of the period the delivery date and the date of the receipt of the reminder is authoritative. In commercial traffic, §377 pp. HGB (German code of commercial law) is not affected. Any guarantee for used parts is excluded. All modalities regarding the handling of the guarantee are to be settled beforehand, the buyer has for example no right to send us back faulty goods to freight collect conditions without checking back with us beforehand. In the case that there is a fault in the delivered goods that has been caused by us, we are entitled to remedy the fault, in which we pay for expenses only for the amount of the selling price, or to provide substitute deliveries. If the elimination of the fault or the substitute delivery fails, the buyer is entitled to request redhibitory action (cancellation of the contract) or a corresponding reduction of the purchase price (abatement). We reserve the right to refuse acceptance of goods sent to us at freight collect terms. For goods that we, according to the order, only procure and pass on, our activity is limited to the procurement of the goods; any liability, especially liability for faulty goods, is exempted. Enhanced performance motors, transmissions, units as well as parts for such motors are shortlived high performance products for which we do not assume any guarantee (motor sport field). Particularly we are not liable for damages/subsequent damages that are caused by buyers who install by themselves our delivered spare parts without the necessary technical expertise/the necessary knowledge about installation processes and the necessary experience. Liability expires when the object of purchase has not, following our instructions, been maintained with the company Risse Motorsport or in a garage named by us during the guarantee period. For the correctness of technical data, prices and offers in catalogues of other manufacturers, to which we did not particularly refer, we do not assume any liability. Technical changes that serve progress and the overall improvement of the product or do not affect considerably its use remain reserved.

§8 Fulfilment of legal regulations
The buyer has to ensure that all changes and conversions realised on cars that participate in public traffic are entered in the registration papers of the car, in accordance with legal regulations. Claims of the buyer or of third parties toward the seller that originate in accidents are expressly excluded. Claims toward the seller because of non-authorisation by technical inspection authorities are impossible – unless the seller has guaranteed authorisation in the sales documents.

§9 Returns
A return of parts is only possible upon previous consultation and permission. The parts recognised for return have to be undamaged and in original packing. Not prepaid packets will not be accepted by us. For returns that do not originate in product deficiencies or faults by Risse, the buyer will also be billed for the costs that arise from re-storage in the amount of 20 % of the value of the goods. If the buyer sends back the goods without previous permission of the seller (unauthorised return), the return shipment cannot be accepted. The right to return the goods is suspended when the delivered parts have been manufactured according to the instructions and specifications of the consumer.

§10 Right to revocation
This entire clause is only valid for consumers, i. e. every natural person that concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that cannot be classed neither as commercial nor as independent professional occupation:
(1) The customer is no longer bound to his/her detion on the sales contract if he/she revokes it within a term of 2 weeks upon receipt of the first shipment. The revocation has to be made in written form. A justification of the revocation is not necessary.
(2) The seller reserves the right to collect the goods through a haulage company named by him. In this process, the buyer has to hand over to the haulage company the undamaged and originally packed goods.
(3) Upon receipt of the returned goods Risse Motorsport is bound to reimburse any realised payments. The costs for the return of the goods are borne by Risse Motorsport when the value of the goods is at least 40,00 EUR.

§11 Place of performance and place of jurisdiction
The terms and conditions of the contract are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Place of jurisdiction for merchants who have been entered as such in the commercial register, for persons who do not have a general place of jurisdiction in the inland, as well as for persons who after conclusion of the contract have moved their place of residence or usual address to a foreign country, or whose place of residence or usual stay is not known at the date of the institution of proceedings, is Soest (Amtsgericht [district court]).

§12 Validity
These conditions are valid as of now. With the appearance of a catalogue and/or the corresponding latest price list, all former catalogues and/or price lists lose their validity. Errors in any of the pictures and details are reserved. Should the conditions above contradict legal regulations now or in future, all other agreements are not affected. Divergent agreements as well as all sorts of warranties must be made in written form.
