In particular, these conditions also apply to agreements entered into by AGN Grass for the delivery of goods to our buyers.
Where in these general terms and conditions of sale the term “buyer” is used, this should be understood to mean any natural or legal person who, in negotiation with AGN Grass, and / or a legal relationship – whatever its name – has been entered into with her. In particular, the term “buyer” also means the person whose order and on whose behalf goods are delivered.
The provisions of these general terms and conditions of sale and delivery can only be deviated from if and insofar as this has been explicitly agreed in writing.
If the other party of AGN Grass also refers to its own general terms and conditions, the terms and conditions of the buyer do not apply and are expressly excluded. This is only different if and insofar as the applicability of the buyer’s terms and conditions do not conflict with our general sales and delivery terms and conditions. If this is the case, then only the provisions in our terms and conditions apply. Any provision to the contrary in the terms and conditions of the buyer does not affect the foregoing.
Where in these general terms and conditions of sale and delivery reference is made to “delivery (of goods)”, this also includes the provision of services and activities of any kind.
If these general sales and delivery conditions are or become partially invalid or non-binding, the parties will remain bound by the remaining part. AGN Grass is then entitled to replace the invalid or non-binding part by clauses that are valid and binding and whose legal consequences, in view of the content and scope of these general terms and conditions, correspond as much as possible with those of the invalid or non-binding part.
If one or more provisions of these terms and conditions are invalid or should be declared void, the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions will continue to apply.
All quotations, in whatever form, are without obligation, unless a specific period for acceptance is specified in the offer. A quotation without a deadline for acceptance is therefore in no way binding. An order given to us counts as an offer, which is only deemed to have been accepted by us after written confirmation from us (the so-called order confirmation) with due observance of these general terms and conditions of sale and delivery.
The offers made by AGN Grass also include designs, drawings, models, samples, descriptions, images and the like, as well as any attachments and documents that relate to our offers.

In such a case, AGN Grass has the right to dissolve the agreement in whole or in part without the need for legal intervention. The latter right also comes to the buyer, but only if AGN Grass takes the position within 3 months after concluding the agreement that a change in the costs results in an increase in the price stated in the order confirmation. If the buyer exercises this right, the buyer must invoke the cancellation by registered letter within 5 days of receiving the relevant notification from us.
An agreement is only concluded when AGN Grass has accepted a given order in writing. An agreement is deemed to have been concluded at the time the order confirmation is sent.
The buyer is bound to his order for a period of 14 days after the date of the order or (if it concerns an oral order) after giving the order. A statement from the buyer that he wishes to cancel or change his order, issued during this 14-day period, cannot therefore prevent an agreement from being established on the basis of the (original) order, if AGN Grass still accepts the order / confirms within this 14-day period.
The order confirmation sent by AGN Grass to the buyer is deemed to fully and accurately reflect the content of the agreement concluded. The buyer is deemed to agree with the content of our order confirmation, unless he informs us in writing within 7 days of the date of our order confirmation that he cannot agree with the content.

The delivery times specified by us will never be regarded as a strict deadline but only as a delivery date indication, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in an individual agreement. In the event of late delivery, we must therefore be given written notice of default. If – in deviation from the above – an individual penalty for exceeding the delivery time is expressly agreed in the individual agreement, this penalty will not be payable if the delivery time is exceeded as a result of the force majeure mentioned in Article 10 of these general terms and conditions.
