I. terms applicable for hire and sale

1. validity

the goods, services and quotations from us shall be exclusively in accordance with these terms and conditions of business. if an order is placed, these terms and conditions of business shall be deemed to have been accepted. any agreements to the contrary shall require our written consent. any counter confirmations by the hirer or purchaser referring to its own terms and conditions of business are hereby opposed. special terms shall apply to deliveries abroad.

2. quotation and conclusion of contract

quotations are only produced on written request, are provisional and non-binding unless specified otherwise in the quotation. declarations by our employees are not binding and only effective if they are recognised and/or confirmed in writing by kopfstand. we shall only recognise orders in written form and they shall require our written confirmation.

3. conversion and reduction

conversion or reduction of the price and subsequent delivery can only be demanded if an attempt at repair or subsequent delivery has been made unsuccessfully on the part of the purchaser/hirer. real wood, real wood veneers and leather are natural products. so colours, structure and surface may differ from those pictured. metals, especially cast and/or polished aluminium, can exhibit differences in the surface caused by the production process. for subsequent orders, we cannot guarantee consistency of models or consistency in terms of colour, structure and surface. the above reasons do not justify refusal to accept by the purchaser / hirer, neither do they justify a claim for amendment and/or return of the goods. (see also II and III)

the place of jurisdiction for both parties is Munich.
