   catalogues and other information documents do not constitute
   any guarantees or warranted characteristics
   and are non-binding as long as they have not been expressly

   , on the other hand, are only possible in mutual
   agreement and in written form.

    with the Customer's cooperation obligation.

    costs incurred and the damage actually suffered

    decision as to whether the aforementioned
    criteria are met and whether the product can be taken back lies solely with EL.

    the customer is automatically in default and owes interest on arrears of 5% without
    further reminder.
24. If the Customer is in default, EL may refuse to provide its
    all services, including warranties,
    without being liable for any resulting

    days of receipt and shall immediately notify EL in writing of any defects discovered
    .

    . Clause 29 remains reserved.

    , otherwise the products shall also be deemed approved with regard to
    these defects.
    IX. Warranty
30. EL guarantees the customer, for a period of 12 months
    from the date of delivery, that the delivered products
    do not have any material or manufacturing defects. Excluded
    are damages as a result of normal wear and tear,
    inadequate maintenance, disregard of operating
    or usage instructions, excessive use,
    improper intervention by the customer or
    by third parties or which were otherwise caused by the customer
    himself. Also excluded
    are damages resulting from the fact that instructions issued by EL after receipt
    of the notice of defects are not followed
    .
31. For defects covered by the foregoing warranty provisions
    , EL shall, in lieu of the statutory
    remedies, at its own independent
    decision, either remedy the defect free of charge
    or replace the defective products.
    If the Customer accepts an inferior product in lieu of repair or
    replacement, EL shall, at its own independent
    decision, issue the Customer with a
    corresponding credit note.
32. Further claims, in particular claims for damages,
    are expressly excluded.
33. We reserve the right to make technical design changes that do not impair the
    intended use of the products
    and do not constitute a
    defect.
    X. Liability
34. The customer uses and applies the products at his own
    risk and under his own responsibility. In particular, the customer is responsible
    for training and monitoring the correct use,
    correct application and correct use of the products
    by its employees, assistants, customers
    and other third parties.
35. EL's liability for direct or immediate damages
    as well as for indirect or consequential damages
    is expressly excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law
    .
36. Likewise, the liability for auxiliary persons pursuant to Art.
    101 CO is fully excluded.
37. The exclusion of liability applies to contractual as well as
    non-contractual claims.

EL's liability for damages caused
by intentional or grossly negligent conduct
remains reserved (Art. 100 para. 1 CO). Also reserved
are claims arising from product liability or
other mandatory statutory provisions.
XI. Termination of contract in the event of extraordinary events

39. In the event of force majeure (such as war, natural disasters,
    strikes, boycotts) as well as legal impossibility
    the contracting parties shall negotiate a
    possible adjustment or termination of the contract.
40. In the event of termination of the contract in accordance with Clause 39,
    services provided to date shall be mutually settled
    and shall be compensated accordingly. No further
    claims may be asserted.
    XII Final provisions
41. EL is entitled to engage auxiliary persons
    for the fulfilment of the contract.
42. The Customer is aware that in the course of its
    activities EL will process personal data within the meaning of the
    Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) itself or
    with the help of third parties and that this data will be used for the
    execution of the contract. The personal data
    of the Customer may be used by EL in particular for
    maintaining the business relationship and for marketing purposes,
    for credit information and creditworthiness checks
    .
43. 
    The rights and obligations arising from the contract may not be
    assigned or otherwise transferred to third parties without the written consent of the respective other party
    .
44. 
    All amendments and additions to the offer
    or the contract and these GTC require the written form and the mutual consent of the parties
    in order to be legally effective. This also applies to this
    written form clause.
45. If any provision of the offer or the contract
    or of these GTC is or becomes invalid or unenforceable
    , the respective remaining provisions
    shall not be affected thereby.
    The invalid or unenforceable
    provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable
    provision which, from the point of view of the parties
    , comes closest to the economic objective which was associated with the invalid
    or unenforceable provision. In a corresponding manner, a loophole
    shall be closed.
46. The legal relationship shall be governed by Swiss law
    to the exclusion of state treaty law, in particular
    of the United Nations Convention on Contracts
    on the International Sale of Goods and Conflict of Laws
    (IPRG).
47. Disputes shall be judged by the ordinary courts
    . The place of jurisdiction (subject to other
    mandatory jurisdiction provisions) is at the registered office of the
    seller.
