5. if the purchaser is in arrears with a due payment from current or previous contracts or if his financial circumstances deteriorate, we shall be entitled to withdraw from the parts of the purchase contracts that have not yet been fulfilled or to demand advance payment or security for further deliveries before the goods are delivered, without the need for a prior extension of time. Upon the occurrence of default in payment for a delivery, all claims from any other deliveries against this purchaser shall become due.

6. events of force majeure, delay in delivery by our suppliers or similar, which delay or make impossible our delivery to the buyer, entitle us to withdraw from the sales made in whole or in part, without being obliged to indemnify. Orders received on the basis of obviously erroneously stated prices do not oblige us to fulfill them. Delivery dates are given and agreed to the best of our knowledge and belief. Complaints must be made in writing within 8 days of receipt of the goods and must be substantiated, as must complaints about quantity, etc. Returns are accepted only in the case of franco delivery.
