k) The provisions of this Clause 5 shall also apply mutatis mutandis to deliveries to be made to third parties on behalf of SerWeMa, unless otherwise agreed.

The delivery shall be accompanied by neutral accompanying documents with the following note: "i. A. SerWeMa GmbH & Co. KG, Zwickauer-Str. 135/137, 09116 Chemnitz".

7. change of the delivery item or the delivery date
a) In case of a considerable change in SerWeMa's requirements, which could not be foreseen at the time of the order, SerWeMa shall be entitled to demand the modification of the delivery item, as far as this is reasonable for the supplier.

In this case, the supplier shall store the goods and insure them against damage, destruction or other deterioration at SerWeMa's expense - after prior written consent by SerWeMa. c) SerWeMa shall bear the costs incurred by the supplier during the suspension or postponement, but not lost profits; the supplier shall present SerWeMa with a detailed description of these costs in advance.

8. warranty/notice of defects

a) The supplier must use only first-class material and the most modern, in particular standard-compliant process technologies in the production process. He undertakes to manufacture products which correspond to the latest state of the art and which are unrestrictedly suitable for the intended purpose - as far as he is aware. In addition, he must carry out proper quality assurance together with a thorough outgoing product inspection. Upon SerWeMa's request, the supplier has to prove this. If the supplier has reservations about the type of execution desired by SerWeMa, he shall immediately inform SerWeMa in writing.

b) The supplier guarantees in particular that the applicable regulations and standards of the Association of German Electrical Engineers (VDE), the German Industrial Standard (DIN) or the European Standard and their conditions are complied with; if deviations from these regulations are necessary in individual cases, the supplier must obtain a written consent from SerWeMa. The supplier's warranty obligation shall not be affected by this consent.

c) The supplier undertakes to deliver all deliveries and partial deliveries in the quality and composition required and accepted by SerWeMa. This also applies to a sample submitted by the supplier. The supplier guarantees that all deliveries and partial deliveries have the quality of the sample.

d) SerWeMa will only check the delivered goods for identity and quantity deviations as well as for openly recognizable transport damages. Deviations that can be detected in this context will be claimed against the supplier within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the goods. Hidden defects, i.e. in particular those that can only be detected in the course of processing or use of the delivered products, shall be notified in due time if they are claimed against the supplier within ten (10) calendar days after their detection.

e) SerWeMa is entitled to the legal warranty rights in full. The supplier shall be entitled to a one-time subsequent performance - at SerWeMa's option by remedying the defect (rectification of defects) or by delivering a defect-free item (replacement) - within a reasonable period of time set by SerWeMa. If the goods are still defective even after subsequent performance, the subsequent performance shall be deemed to have failed, which shall entitle SerWeMa in particular to withdraw from the contract, to reduce the purchase price and, unless the supplier proves that he is not at fault, to claim compensation for any damages and futile expenses.

f) If the supplier does not fulfil his obligation to supplementary performance - at SerWeMa's option by remedying the defect (rectification of defects) or by delivering a defect-free item (replacement) - within a reasonable period of time set by SerWeMa, SerWeMa shall be entitled to remedy the defect itself or have it remedied by a third party and to demand compensation from the supplier for the necessary expenses or a

demand an appropriate advance payment. If the supplementary performance by the supplier has failed or is unreasonable for SerWeMa (e.g. due to particular urgency, endangerment of the operational safety or imminent occurrence of disproportionate damages), no deadline needs to be set; the supplier shall be informed immediately, if possible before SerWeMa carries out the supplementary performance itself.

g) The supplier guarantees that the goods have the agreed quality at the time of transfer of risk to SerWeMa. In any case, those product descriptions (namely specifications and/or requirement profiles provided by SerWeMa) shall be deemed to be an agreement on quality, which - in particular by designation or reference in the respective order or order confirmation - are subject matter of the respective contract or have been included in the contract in the same way as these General Terms and Conditions of Purchase. It makes no difference whether the product description originates from SerWeMa, from the supplier or from the manufacturer.

i) Notwithstanding § 442 para. 1 sentence 2 BGB (German Civil Code), SerWeMa shall be entitled to claims for defects without limitation even if SerWeMa was unaware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract due to gross negligence.

j) The Supplier shall also bear the costs incurred by the Supplier for the purpose of inspection and rectification
then if it turns out that there was no defect. SerWeMa's liability for damages for unjustified claims for removal of defects remains unaffected; in this respect, however, SerWeMa shall only be liable if SerWeMa has recognized or grossly negligently failed to recognize that there was no defect. k) All deadlines, in particular for subsequent delivery, collection and repair of defective goods at SerWeMa must be confirmed in writing by SerWeMa beforehand; if the supplier does not obtain this confirmation, paragraph 5 lit. c), sentence 3, 1st and 2nd half sentence of these General Terms and Conditions of Purchase shall apply accordingly, and SerWeMa shall not be obliged to return goods or to grant the supplier access to the goods.

l) The supplier shall pick up goods claimed as defective by SerWeMa within a reasonable period of time set by SerWeMa. If this is not done in due time, item 5 lit. c), sentence 3, 1st and 2nd half sentence of these General Terms and Conditions of Purchase shall apply accordingly. m) In case of defectiveness of the delivered goods, in particular if the delivered goods do not have the agreed product quality or durability, the supplier shall bear all expenses necessary for the purpose of determining the cause and consequences of the defect as well as the expenses necessary for the purpose of remedying the defect or delivering a replacement (also by SerWeMa or third parties). SerWeMa shall be entitled to take and use samples of the goods notified as defective by SerWeMa for evidentiary purposes, as far as the supplier's interest in the complete return of the defective goods is not unreasonably affected.

9. limitation of warranty claims

a) In any case, the regular period of limitation for all warranty claims shall be 36 months from the passing of risk, unless a longer warranty period applies by law in individual cases or the supplier has given a guarantee going beyond this. If acceptance has been agreed, the limitation period shall commence upon acceptance.

b) If the supplier fulfils his obligation of subsequent performance by means of a replacement delivery and if the defect was not merely minor, the limitation period for the goods delivered as a replacement shall start anew after their delivery, unless the supplier has expressly and appropriately reserved the right to make the replacement delivery only as a gesture of goodwill or to avoid disputes.

10. claims for damages/ product liability/ exemption/ insurance cover
a) As far as the supplier is obliged to pay damages to SerWeMa - for whatever legal reason - he shall be liable for any form of fault, in particular also for slight negligence; this shall also apply if he uses vicarious agents or assistants. Exclusion of liability and limitations of liability in terms of amount are not recognised. In the case of liability according to the German Product Liability Act (ProdhaftG), the supplier is liable even without fault.

b) If the supplier is responsible for a damage, he has to indemnify SerWeMa from claims of third parties insofar as the cause is within his area of control or organisation and he is liable himself in the external relationship. In this context, the supplier shall also reimburse SerWeMa for any expenses - in particular according to §§ 683, 670 BGB (German Civil Code) - that result from or in connection with a warning or recall action carried out by SerWeMa; SerWeMa shall inform the supplier about the content or extent of such actions - as far as possible and reasonable - before they are carried out and give him the opportunity to comment. Further legal claims shall remain unaffected.

c) The supplier shall be obliged to maintain a product liability insurance with a coverage of at least € 10 million per personal injury and property damage - lump sum - which also includes the compensation of consequential damages, in particular of warning and recall actions, and shall prove this to SerWeMa upon request; if SerWeMa is entitled to claims for damages exceeding this amount, they shall remain unaffected. d) If the supplier violates the rights of third parties in connection with his delivery, the supplier is obliged to exempt SerWeMa from these claims in case a third party claims against SerWeMa for this reason, unless the supplier is not at fault; SerWeMa is not entitled to make any agreements with the third party - without the supplier's consent - especially not to conclude a settlement. If the use of the delivered goods is opposed by existing industrial property rights of third parties, the supplier shall be obliged to obtain the consent of the holder of the industrial property rights - e.g. in the form of a licence - to the intended use of the delivered goods by SerWeMa at his own expense, or to modify the affected parts of the delivered goods in such a way that the delivered goods can be used for the intended purpose.

goods can be used without infringing the property rights of third parties and at the same time complies with the contractual agreements.

11. reservation of ownership/assignment

a) The supplier is entitled to neither an extended nor an expanded retention of title. A resale and processing of the item is effected for SerWeMa and is expressly permitted.

b) Any processing, mixing or combination of provided objects - in particular tools provided by SerWeMa or tools manufactured separately for SerWeMa - by the supplier shall be carried out for SerWeMa. If a third party's right of ownership remains in case of a processing, mixing or combination with objects not belonging to SerWeMa, the supplier herewith transfers to SerWeMa co-ownership of the new object proportionally to the value of the provided object to the other objects; SerWeMa herewith accepts this transfer. If a combination or mixture is made in such a way that the items belonging to SerWeMa are not to be regarded as the main item, the supplier herewith transfers co-ownership to SerWeMa proportionally.

c) The supplier shall not be entitled to assign claims from the business relationship with SerWeMa to third parties in whole or in part, unless the assignment is made within the scope of customary business practice or with the prior written consent of SerWeMa.

b) In addition, the supplier shall, upon SerWeMa's request, immediately provide SerWeMa with all documents and make all declarations to SerWeMa concerning the quality of the products purchased from him, which are customary in the industry for the further processing and sale of the products manufactured from the delivered goods.
