In this case, collateral agreements and verbal declarations by our employees shall only become part of the contract if they are confirmed by us in writing.

Delivery of our security seals, security Labels etc.

The delivery is effected at the time of handing over or sending of the security seal(s) etc. The dispatch of our products is in any case at the risk of the buyer.
