The customer is obliged to state the order number of the respective shipment and the reason for the complaint. If the customer does not fulfill his legal obligation regarding inspection and notification of defects according to § 377 HGB, there is no warranty obligation towards the customer.

b) Minor defects are customary or technically unavoidable deviations in terms of quality, color, size, equipment or design of the goods.

The burden of proof for proving the materiality of such deviations for the customer lies with the customer.

(so-called cardinal obligation), limited to the replacement of the foreseeable and typical damage. In all other cases, our liability is excluded, subject to the provision in Paragraph 3.
