  5. If, after the conclusion of the contract, Sahin Electronic becomes aware of circumstances which justify the assumption that the financial circumstances of the Purchaser have deteriorated in such a way that the consideration is at risk, e.g. due to the fact that the Purchaser does not pay due invoices, outstanding deliveries by Sahin Electronic
  1. shall only be carried out against advance payment if they concern items which, due to their dimensions, shapes, quantities, etc., are only suitable for a specific customer;
  2. in all other cases will be executed step by step against payment.

 IV. Delivery, Delay, Impossibility

  1. Delivery dates and delivery periods shall only be binding if they have been expressly designated as binding by Sahin Electronic in the order confirmation. The observance of bindingly agreed deadlines for deliveries is subject to the timely receipt of all documents to be supplied by the Purchaser, the performance of necessary duties to cooperate, required approvals and releases, in particular of plans, as well as the observance of the agreed terms of payment and other obligations by the Purchaser. If these prerequisites are not fulfilled in time, the deadlines shall be extended appropriately.

  4. Sahin Electronic shall not be liable for impossibility or delays of its deliveries and services, as far as these circumstances are based on force majeure, non-delivery, incorrect or delayed delivery of its suppliers (self-delivery reservation) or other events not foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, for which Sahin Electronic is not responsible (e.g. business disruptions of any kind, fire, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, weather, floods, war, insurgency, terrorism, transportation delays, strikes, lawful lockouts, shortages of employees, energy or raw materials, delays in obtaining any necessary governmental permits, governmental/sovereign actions or prohibitions). In case of such events, the delivery periods shall be automatically extended by the duration of the event plus a reasonable start-up period. Sahin Electronic will inform the Purchaser immediately about such events. If the end of the disruption is not foreseeable or if it lasts longer than two months, either party is entitled to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the orderer shall not be entitled to any claims for damages against Sahin Electronic. Any payment already made by the Purchaser will be refunded immediately. Further claims due to delay are excluded.


V. Stocking

  1. Sahin Electronic retains title to goods delivered by it until full payment of all claims arising from the business relationship with the Purchaser (reserved goods).
  2. During the existence of the retention of title, the Purchaser is not entitled to pledge the delivery items or to assign them as security. If third parties seize the goods subject to retention of title, the Purchaser shall immediately inform Sahin Electronic thereof and provide the information and documents necessary for an intervention.
  3. The Purchaser is entitled to sell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. For this purpose he assigns already now all his future claims from the resale of the goods subject to retention of title to his customers by way of security to Sahin Electronic. The Purchaser remains entitled to collect these assigned claims until revocation. Sahin Electronic may revoke this collection authorization if the Purchaser is in default of payment of more than 30 calendar days, if insolvency proceedings have been applied for or opened against his assets or if there are other indications for an imminent insolvency of the Purchaser. In case of revocation of the collection authorization the Purchaser shall provide Sahin Electronic with all necessary information and documents to enable Sahin Electronic to assert the assigned claims.
  4. If the Purchaser includes claims from the resale of the reserved goods in a current account existing with his customers, he already now assigns a positive balance to Sahin Electronic in the amount corresponding to the total amount of the claims from the resale of the reserved goods included in the current account.

Processing or remodeling of the reserved goods is always done for Sahin Electronic. The newly created item is considered as reserved goods. In case of combination and mixing of the goods subject to retention of title with other items of the Purchaser, Sahin Electronic  shall be entitled to co-ownership of the new item in proportion of the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title to the invoice value of the other items.
  6. If the security rights to which Sahin Electronic is entitled exceed the amount of the secured claims by more than 15 %, Sahin Electronic shall, at the request of the Purchaser, release a corresponding part of the security rights at the option of Sahin Electronic.
  7. As far as in case of deliveries to other legal systems mandatory legal provisions of the respective country do not provide for a reservation in the sense of this Section No. 1 to 6, but other and comparable rights to secure the claims from invoices of the supplier are known, Sahin Electronic shall be entitled to assert them. The Purchaser shall be obliged to do everything to provide Sahin Electronic with corresponding security rights without delay. The Purchaser shall cooperate at its own expense in all measures, such as registration, publication, etc., which are necessary and conducive to the effectiveness and enforceability of such security rights.

Claims of the Purchaser are furthermore excluded if the infringement of the property right is caused by special specifications of the Purchaser, by an use not foreseeable by Sahin Electronic or by the fact that the product is changed by the Purchaser or is used together with products not delivered by Sahin Electronic. In this case, the Purchaser shall be liable for any infringement of property rights which has already occurred or which may still occur. He shall be obliged to inform Sahin Electronic immediately about possible or alleged infringements of property rights of which he becomes aware and to indemnify Sahin Electronic against claims of third parties and all costs and expenses incurred.
