I. General
The following general terms and conditions for repairs and machines and systems for domestic and international business for the offer of our repair services apply exclusively; RUN-TEC GmbH does not recognize conditions of the customer that conflict with or deviate from these conditions, unless RUN-TEC GmbH expressly agrees to their validity in writing. These conditions also apply if RUN-TEC GmbH unconditionally carries out the delivery to the customer with knowledge of conflicting or deviating conditions of the customer.

The customer's order represents an offer to RUN-TEC GmbH to conclude a purchase contract. A contractual relationship only comes into existence with a written order confirmation from RUN-TEC GmbH about the repair or object of purchase specified in the customer's order or order, which can also be done by email. If no confirmation is given, the contract is concluded at the latest with delivery of the repair or purchase item.
Changes to the contract or additions require the written confirmation of RUN-TEC GmbH to be effective.

IV.Impossible repair
The services provided for the submission of a cost estimate as well as the further expenses incurred and to be documented (troubleshooting time equals working time) will be charged to the customer.
If the repair cannot be carried out for reasons for which the contractor is not responsible, particularly because the fault had not shown during the inspection,
unavailable spare parts
customer culpably missed the agreed date
the contract is terminated during execution
The item to be repaired only needs to be returned to its original condition at the express request of the customer, against reimbursement of the costs, unless the work undertaken was not necessary.
In the case of a repair that cannot be carried out, the contractor shall not be liable for damage to the repair item, the breach of contractual ancillary obligations and for damage that has not occurred to the repair item itself, regardless of the legal basis on which the customer relies.

In the event of culpable violation of essential contractual obligations, the contractor shall only be liable - except in cases of intent and gross negligence on the part of the owner or executive staff - for the contractually typical, reasonably foreseeable damage.
V. Cost information, cost estimate

If the repair cannot be carried out at these costs or if the contractor deems it necessary to carry out additional work during the repair, the customer's consent must be obtained if the specified costs are exceeded by more than 15%.
If a cost estimate with binding price estimates is requested before the repair is carried out, the customer must expressly request this.
Unless otherwise agreed, such a cost estimate is only binding if it is submitted in writing. The services provided for the delivery of the cost estimate will not be charged to the customer insofar as they can be used in carrying out the repair.
VI. Price / terms of payment / default
RUN-TEC GmbH is entitled to request a reasonable advance payment upon conclusion of the contract.
When calculating the repair, the prices for parts, materials and special services, as well as the prices for work, travel and transport costs must be shown separately.

Any correction of the invoice by RUN-TEC GmbH and a complaint on the part of the customer must be made in writing not later than four weeks after receipt of the invoice.
Unless otherwise agreed, payment is to be made without discount upon acceptance and delivery or delivery of the invoice.

The customer must support the repair personnel in carrying out the repair at his own expense.
The customer must take the special measures necessary to protect people and property at the repair station.

In the event of serious violations, the offender can, in consultation with the repair manager, refuse access to the repair site.
The customer is obliged to provide technical assistance at his own expense, in particular to:
Provision of the necessary, suitable auxiliary staff in the number and time required for the repair; the assistants must follow the instructions of the repair manager.

If special plans or instructions from the contractor are required, the contractor will provide them to the customer in good time.
If the customer does not meet his obligations, the contractor is entitled after setting a deadline, but not obliged to take the actions incumbent on the customer in his place and at his expense. Otherwise the legal rights and claims of the contractor remain unaffected.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the transport and delivery of the repair item, including any packaging and loading, will be carried out at the customer's request, otherwise the repair item will be delivered by the customer to the contractor at his own expense and after the repair has been carried out picked up at the contractor by the customer.

Insurance cover for these dangers can only be obtained at the express request and at the expense of the customer.

IX. Repair period
The information on the repair periods are based on estimates and are therefore not binding.

The binding repair deadline is met if, by the expiry of the repair item, the customer is ready to take it over, in the case of a contractually provided test, to carry it out.
In the case of additional and extension orders placed later or if additional repair work is necessary, the agreed repair period will be extended accordingly.
If the repair is delayed by measures in the context of industrial disputes, in particular strikes and lockouts, as well as the occurrence of circumstances that are not the fault of the contractor, a reasonable extension of the period occurs, provided that such obstacles can be proven to have a significant influence on the completion of the repair Repair period; this also applies if such circumstances occur after the contractor is in default.
If the customer incurs damage as a result of the contractor's delay, he is entitled to demand a flat-rate compensation for delay. It is 0.5% for each full week of the delay, but in total not more than 5% of the repair price for that part of the object to be repaired by the contractor that cannot be used in time due to the delay. If the customer sets the contractor - taking into account the legal exceptional cases - an appropriate deadline for performance after the due date and the deadline is not met, the customer is entitled to withdraw within the framework of the statutory provisions.
X. Acceptance
The customer is obliged to accept the repair work as soon as it has been notified that the repair work has been carried out and if the contractually agreed testing of the repair item has taken place. If the repair proves not to be in accordance with the contract, the contractor is obliged to remedy the defect. This does not apply if the defect is irrelevant to the interests of the customer or is due to a circumstance that is attributable to the customer. If there is an insignificant defect, the customer cannot refuse acceptance.
If the acceptance is delayed through no fault of the contractor, the acceptance is deemed to have taken place two weeks after notification of the completion of the repair.
With the acceptance, the liability of the contractor for recognizable defects lapses, unless the customer reserves the right to assert a specific defect.

The contractor retains ownership of all accessories and spare parts and replacement units used until all payments from the repair contract have been received. Further security agreements can be made.
The contractor is entitled to a lien on the repair item of the customer that came into his possession as a result of the claim from the repair contract. The right of lien can also be asserted due to claims from previous work, delivery of spare parts and other services, insofar as they are related to the repair item.

The customer has the right to rectify the defect only in urgent cases where operational safety is endangered and to prevent disproportionately large damage, whereby RUN-TEC GmbH must be informed immediately, or if RUN-TEC GmbH is in default with the remedy of the defect to have it removed by itself or by third parties and to ask RUN-TEC GmbH to reimburse the necessary costs.

The customer can only withdraw from the contract if the repair is demonstrably of no interest to the customer despite the reduction.
