Article 3 Conclusion of the agreement

1. All quotations and other offers of Redexim (even if these indicate a period) are non-binding and can exclusively be considered an invitation to the Client to make an offer to Redexim for the conclusion of an agreement.

2. Quotations/order confirmations are based on the information provided by the Client to Redexim in writing up to the date on which the quotation/order confirmation is issued.
3.

Insofar as the agreement is concluded because Redexim executes the contract, the contents of the quotation/order confirmation as agreed on between the Parties will apply.

Article 4 Drawings, specifications, and technical data

1.

Price changes greater than 10% will give the Client the right to dissolve the agreement concluded with Redexim, provided that this takes place in writing and within seven days of the receipt of the notice concerning the price change. Dissolution in the aforementioned manner does not give the Client the right to compensation for any damage.

Article 7 Payment
