If the goods subject to retention of title are resold, the proceeds generated shall take their place, which may not be disposed of without the consent of Edelstahl Weimar GmbH. If the resale takes place on credit, the resulting purchase price claims are deemed to have been assigned to the company Edelstahl Weimar GmbH from the moment they arise. However, the buyer is authorized to collect the claim until the seller refuses to do so. If the delivered product is combined, mixed or processed, the retention of title extends to the new item (extended retention of title). If the customer defaults on payment or if circumstances become known after the conclusion of the contract which, in the opinion of the company Edelstahl Weimar GmbH, means a significant deterioration in the financial situation or a lack of creditworthiness on the part of the customer, all claims of the seller from the entire business relationship, not even the contributions Cashed bills of exchange and cheques, deferred receivables or invoices not yet due are due for immediate cash payment.

If the delay in acceptance lasts longer than one month, the buyer has to pay 1 in 100 of the order price per month without deductions as storage costs. If higher storage costs can be proven, these can be demanded. As compensation for damages due to non-performance in the event of default in acceptance, the seller can demand 25 percent of the net order price plus VAT, unless the buyer can prove that no damage or not in this amount has occurred. Otherwise, the seller reserves the right to assert higher, but proven, damages.
