2.2 The applicability of any purchase and/or other terms and conditions of the Client is expressly rejected. In case the Client refers to her own terms and conditions and declares those terms and conditions applicable, the Parties expressly agree through acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions that Holthinrichs Watches will not be bound by those terms and conditions of the Client.
2.3 Prior to the conclusion of the Agreement, the text of these General Terms and Conditions shall be made available to the Client. If this is not reasonably possible, before the Agreement is concluded, Holthinrichs Watches will indicate the manner in which the General Terms and Conditions can be inspected at Holthinrichs Watches and that they will be sent free of charge by e-mail at the Client's request as soon as possible.
2.4 Holthinrichs Watches is entitled to unilaterally modify these General Terms and Conditions. In such cases, Holthinrichs Watches will notify the Client of the changes in a timely manner. There will be at least 30 days between this notification and the coming into force of the amended General Terms and Conditions. The consumer Client may object to the change in writing within 30 Days after the consumer Client has been notified of the change. If the consumer Client objects, the already applicable General Terms and Conditions will remain in force. If the consumer Client does not object, the amended General Terms and Conditions will apply after 30 Days have elapsed.
2.5 These Terms and Conditions also apply to anyone engaged by Holthinrichs Watches, and anyone for whose acts or omissions Holthinrichs Watches is or may be liable.
2.6 Deviating provisions shall only be valid if they are expressly agreed in advance in writing between the Client and Holthinrichs Watches.
3.1 An Offer by Holthinrichs Watches is made without obligation unless the Offer contains an acceptance term. If no acceptance term is set, no rights whatsoever can be derived from the offer with regard to the price quote, indicative (delivery) date and availability of the product or service.
3.2 The Offer clearly shows which Performance will be carried out by Holthinrichs Watches, and what the indicative delivery time is based on the delivery times known to Holthinrichs Watches at that time and what the price is for the Performance to be carried out based on the then current daily prices.
3.3 The Offer always uses daily prices in accordance with the cost level for wages, social charges, and material prices at the time of the Offer.
3.4 If an Offer by Holthinrichs Watches is (partly) based on information provided by the Client, the Client is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information. The consequences of providing incomplete and/or inaccurate information, including information that does not correspond to reality, will be at the expense and risk of the Client.
3.5 All information, illustrations, drawings, data, specifications, and/or other characteristics provided with the offer are always approximate and will only be binding for Holthinrichs Watches if expressly indicated in writing by Holthinrichs Watches. Minor deviations cannot be grounds for damages, claims or dissolution.
3.6 Holthinrichs Watches cannot be held to its Offer if the Client should have understood that the Offer, or any part thereof, contained an obvious mistake or clerical error.
3.7 Upon acceptance of a non-binding Offer, Holthinrichs Watches reserves the right to revoke or deviate from the Offer upon receipt of the acceptance.
3.8 Verbal commitments shall only bind Holthinrichs Watches after they have been expressly confirmed in writing by Holthinrichs Watches.

3.10 The Offer does not automatically apply to follow-up Offers.
3.11 Additions, amendments and/or further agreements are only effective if expressly agreed in writing between the Parties.
4.1 Holthinrichs Watches will, after being approached by the Client, enter into discussions with the Client to get the best possible picture of the Client's requirements.
4.2 Through personal contact, a 3D design is created. This design will be submitted to the Client for approval. After the Client's written approval, Holthinrichs Watches will request a 50% deposit to confirm the booking and pay for the production. Only after receipt of the down payment will Holthinrichs Watches start further implementation of the Performance.
5.1 The Agreement first becomes binding for Holthinrichs Watches through its written confirmation. If an Offer is accepted by the Client within the term for acceptance as stated in the Offer, an Agreement will be established at the moment the Client accepts the Offer.
5.2 Insofar as the Client's acceptance of an Offer made by Holthinrichs Watches deviates from the Offer on any point, an Agreement will only be concluded at the moment that Holthinrichs Watches explicitly confirms the realisation and content of the Agreement in writing.
5.3 Holthinrichs Watches reserves the right, without giving reasons, not to accept the acceptance of an Offer it has made or to accept it only under additional and/or changed condition(s).
5.4 If the communication was only verbal, the Agreement will nevertheless be established at the moment that Holthinrichs Watches actually starts implementing the Agreement or orders third parties to do so. In this case, the invoice is deemed to fully and correctly reflect the content of the Agreement.
5.5 The consumer Client is aware that the legal cooling-off period does not apply to the Agreement concluded with Holthinrichs Watches if it concerns custom-made products or the Agreement is concluded in a retail outlet.
5.6 The risk of errors and/or inaccuracies in orders not confirmed in writing shall be borne entirely by the Customer.
5.7 Data regarding the offered goods such as properties, colours, specifications, measurements, weight, etc., as well as data in printed matter, drawings, images, etc. provided by Holthinrichs Watches with the Offer, are given in good faith.
5.8 The Performance will be delivered as specified in the Agreement, with the understanding that minor or minor changes made by Holthinrichs Watches that do not impair the quality of the Performance are permitted. Deviations cannot be grounds for compensation, advertising or dissolution.
5.9 Holthinrichs Watches is uthorized to engage third parties for the implementation of the Agreement.
6.1 The prices and rates quoted are exclusive of turnover tax, shipping and insurance and any other government-imposed levies. If the Client is a consumer, VAT will be stated in the Offer.
6.2 Price increases resulting from statutory regulations or provisions will be passed on to the Client immediately and in full.
6.3 The Offer and/or the Agreement will use daily prices in accordance with the cost level for wages, social security charges, and material prices at the time of the Offer. If cost-increasing circumstances occur after the conclusion of the Agreement, without being attributable to Holthinrichs Watches, Holthinrichs Watches will be entitled to pass on the cost increase to the Client and the Client will be obliged to pay the cost increase to Holthinrichs Watches. In case the Client is a consumer, it also applies that cost-increasing circumstances may arise after the Agreement is concluded. The Agreement will therefore include a risk adjustment item up to the maximum of which can be passed on. Additional work will never be charged to the risk adjustment item. The settlement date will be the date of the offer. Holthinrichs Watches will timely inform the Client of the necessity of the price increase.
6.4 If the Client is a consumer and a fixed price has been agreed upon, Holthinrichs Watches is also authorised to pass on price increases if these take place 3 (in words: three) months after the establishment of the Agreement. A price increase may occur due to, among other things (not exhaustive): an increase in transport costs, operational costs, auxiliary materials used, goods, means of transport, war, weather conditions, calamities, scarcity, a change in the relevant collective labour agreement, or as a result of laws, decrees or government decisions of a mandatory nature. If the price increase exceeds 5%, the consumer shall in that case be authorised to dissolve the Agreement.
6.5 Holthinrichs Watches is also entitled to charge the Client for any increase in costs resulting from incorrect data provided by the Client.

7.2 All items used by Holthinrichs Watches must be of good quality, fit for their purpose and meet the requirements set.
7.3 The agreed or stated Delivery Time is always indicative and therefore never a deadline unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing between the Parties. The Delivery Term is based on the circumstances prevailing at the time of the conclusion of the Agreement or the making of an Offer and timely delivery of goods by third parties to Holthinrichs Watches.
7.4 Changes to the Agreement and/or circumstances, more or less work, force majeure, suspension, default, delays in the delivery of goods by third parties to Holthinrichs Watches, etc., may result in Holthinrichs Watches exceeding the originally agreed Delivery term. In all such cases, Holthinrichs Watches shall be entitled to extend the Delivery Time in all fairness and reasonableness. The Client expressly agrees to this and Holthinrichs Watches will therefore never owe any form of compensation.
7.5 If a fatal term of delivery expressly agreed upon in writing between the Parties is exceeded, the Client must declare Holthinrichs Watches in default in writing. Holthinrichs Watches should be given a reasonable term to still execute the Agreement. In case of default by Holthinrichs Watches, Holthinrichs Watches will owe the Client a fixed amount of damages of €25 per Working Day, including VAT, unless another amount has been agreed in writing. The fixed damages cannot be set off against what the Client owes Holthinrichs Watches.
7.6 If the Delivery Time changes, Holthinrichs Watches will provide the Client with a new indicative Delivery Time as soon as possible.
8.1 Termination of the Agreement by the Client is not possible.
8.2 In case of cancellation, the Client will have to pay the price applicable to the entire work, less any savings for Holthinrichs Watches resulting from the cancellation, against delivery if possible by Holthinrichs Watches of the work already completed. If the price was contingent on the actual costs to be incurred by Holthinrichs Watches, the price owed by the Client shall be calculated on the basis of the costs incurred, the labour performed and the profit Holthinrichs Watches would have made over the entire work.
9.1 The Performance includes only what is specified in the Agreement.

10.6 Any payment made by the Customer shall first serve - if applicable - to pay the interest, collection costs and administrative expenses owed by him and then to pay the outstanding claims in order of age.
10.7 If the Client fails to meet his payment obligation(s) in a timely manner, Holthinrichs Watches will increase the due principal amount by the statutory commercial interest per month, a part of a month calculated for a whole month, to be calculated from the initial due date until the Day of Full Payment. In case the Client is a consumer, the legal interest rate shall apply.
10.8 If the Client does not meet his payment obligation in a timely manner, and Holthinrichs Watches is forced to carry out collection activities in order to enforce payment of the outstanding invoice, Holthinrichs Watches will also be entitled to charge the Client for all actual judicial and extrajudicial collection costs. The extrajudicial collection costs amount to 15% over outstanding amounts with a minimum of € 250. If the Client is a consumer, the extrajudicial collection costs will be 15% on outstanding amounts up to € 2,500; 10% on the next € 2,500 and 5% on the next € 5,000 with a minimum of € 40.
