This document is copyrighted. Duplication, translations, microlming and savings on electronic systems, particularly for commercialpurposes

are illegal without prior agreement of the manufacturer. All compiled data are based on manufacturers instructions. All logos,

product names and designations used in this document are property of the respective manufacturer.

We do not take over any warranty and liability in the case of missing inscriptions. Subject to modications and amendments.

1. General:

Our General Standard Terms and Conditions apply exclusively. Client’s

terms and conditions which are contrary to or deviate from our General

Standard Terms and Conditions are not recognised unless their validity

is explicitly confirmed in writing. Our General Standard Terms and

Conditions also apply even if we deliver to cl ients without reservation,

in the knowledge of the client’s contrary terms and conditions. OurGeneral Standard Terms and Conditions also apply to all future business

with that client.

2. Proposal - Order Confirmation

Our proposals are subject to change without notice unless otherwise

stated in our order confirmation. Each order is only accepted by us

following our written order confirmation.

3. Orders

Every order requires an exact description of all of our product’s details.

We assume no liability for errors and damage caused by inaccurate or

incomplete ordering details.

4. Prices

Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, our prices in the

order confirmation are ex factory prices and exclude packaging and

value added tax. Packaging is charged separately at cost price in the

invoice. Value added tax is charged separately in the invoice according

to the legal rate on the invoice date. We reserve the right to change

prices appropriately should price reductions or increases, especially

due to wage settlements, changes in the price of materials or currency

fluctuations, be incurred. Proof of such changes will be provided for the

client on request.

5. Payment Conditions - Balancing

Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, our invoices

are payable with a 3% discount within 10 days (except for repair and

assembly services) or within 21 days from the invoice date net cash;

money receipts is decisive for complying with this term. We are entitled

to charge interest after the due date at a rate 2% above the relevant

basic interest rate of the German Federal Bank. Should the client have

payment arrears, we are entitled to charge interest on arrears at a rate

5% above the relevant basic interest rate of the German Federal Bank.

Should we be able to prove higher damages due to arrears, we are also

entitled to claim these. The client only has the right to balance invoicesagainst its own claims should such claims be confirmed in a court of

law or recognised by us. The client does not have the ri ght of retention

due to disputed counterclaims.

6. Del ivery Periods

Fulfilment of our delivery duties requires the punctual and proper

fulfilment of the client’s duties. The right to defense on the grounds of an

unfulfilled contract is reserved.Should the client default in accepting the

goods delivery or breach other cooperation duties, we are entitled either

to withdraw from the contract or claim compensation for any i ncreased

costs incurred up to that time without setting a further deadline. The right

to make further claims is reserved. Furthermore, in such cases, the risk

of coin-cidental destruction or a coincidental deterioration in the quality

of the delivered goods is transferred to the client in the case of default

in accepting such goods or payment arrears. Acts of God or stoppages

(due to insufficient supplies of material, industrial disputes etc.) entitle

us either to demand an appropriate extension of delivery periods or to

partly or entirely dissolve the delivery contract. This does not give the

client the right to claim damages. We have fulfilled delivery periods if the

delivery goods have left our factory or the client has been informed of

the goods’ readiness for delivery within such delivery periods. Delivery

periods stipulated by the client are not recognised by us unless they

form part of our order confirmation. We adhere to legal terms and

conditions in cases where, as a result of an undue delay in the delivery

for which we are liable, the client is entitled to claim that his i nterests

in a continued fulfilment of the contract have ceased. We also adhere

to legal terms and conditions should a delay in delivery be caused by

deliberate or grossly negligent action by us or our representatives for

which we are responsible. We are also responsible for such actions by

our representatives or agents. Should the delivery delay not be caused

by our deliberate infringement of contractual duties for which we are

responsible, our liability is limited to damage which is regarded as typical

for that case. We are liable according to the legal terms and conditions if

and in so far as the delivery delay for which we are responsible is caused

by an infringement of a substantial contractual duty. In such cases, ourliability is also limited to damage which is regarded as typical for that

case. Should the delivery delay be caused by a culpable infringement

of non-substantial contractual duties, our client is also entitled to claim

a one-off damage compen-sation worth 3 percentage points of the

delivery value of the goods for each week’s delay, up to a maximum

which is no higher than 15 percentage points of the delivery value of

the goods

7. Delivery - Familiarisation

In the case of the delivery of devices for the medico-technical industry

which require assembly and/or familiarisation for the final customer using

specialist trade personnel (such as Ear, Nose and Throat Apparatus and

Suction Units), we reserve the right to deliver the goods exclusively to

the relevant specialist traders. Should the trader not carry out assembly

and/or familiarisation for the final customer, this is carried out by us. In

such cases, we reserve the right to charge the client for the additionally

created costs. Our specialist traders operate a recording system so

that, if necessary, our products can be traced to the final customer. The

specialist trader undertakes to immediately report to us all events and

risks which must be reported in connection with our products.

8. Passage of Risk - Packaging

Unless otherwise stated in our order confirmation, delivery is agreed

ex factory. The risk of the goods’ damage or loss is therefore transferred

to the client as soon as the goods leave the factory or the client is in

default of acceptance of the goods. This also applies to cases where we

confirm prepaid carriage. Transport packaging and all other packaging

according to the packaging regulations is not returnable. Our client is

responsible for disposing the packaging at its own cost. Our deliveries are

insured by us at the client’s expense unless explicitly otherwise agreed.

No insurance is arranged in the case of goods which are collected by

our clients. In the case of transport damage, claims are only handled if

the client receives confirmation of any damage, reduced weight or loss

by the shipping company before accepting the delivery.

9. Warranty

The client is responsible for examining the delivered goods

immediately after receiving them to determine any eventual deficiencies

or delivery errors, and to report these immediately. Should the client

fulfil this examining and reporting responsibility, and should payment

conditions be fulfilled, we shall be liable to the client within the scope

of legal regulations. Our period of warranty shall in all cases be two

years. Our client can make use of the warranty as follows, so long ashe can provide first buyer proof (in the form of an invoice or delivery

note) and provided that the product still has the original, unchanged

serial number:

a. We choose whether to fulfil our guarantee by providing repair

services free of charge - either on the client’s premises or in our factory

- or replacing the product. We can also provide these guarantee

services through an authorised company;

b. Should a product be returned to us, the client agrees to send

the product in its original or similar packaging, offering the same

protection as the original packaging, to our address or any address

notified by us.

c. Our guarantee ceases to apply if changes of any kind have been

made to our product, unless such changes have been made by us

or a company authorised by us, or have been previously agreed

upon in writing by us. Our guarantee also ceases to apply if third

parties have carried out repairs to our products or replaced parts

thereof. This applies regardless of the fact whether these measures

individually or collectively led to a deficiency of the product;

d. We accept no responsibi lity for damage defects caused by

- operational wear and tear;

- incorrect installation or incorrect or insufficient maintenance;

- incorrect operation of the product (in contradiction to the operating instructions

delivered with the product); - improper use or operating faults; -

inappropriate or negligent handling and care, especially with respect

to dirt, lime, suction of fluids, inappropriate cleaning and sterilisation;

- using accessories and/or replacement parts which are not explicitly

approved;

- incorrect assembly and/or initial operation by the client or third

parties; - the client’s negligence in handling the product; - unacceptable

operating conditions, such as humidity, temperatures, the power supply,

vibrations.

- accidents, acts of God, especially lightening, water, fire, public

unrest and insufficient ventilation. We are not liable for damage to

other objects apart from our product itself, except in the case of any

deliberate or grossly negligent actions by us or our representatives oragents. Should no deliberate breach of contract be claimed, our liability

is limited to damage which is regarded as typical for tthat case. This

also applies in the case of our culpable infringement of substantial

contractual duties The indispensable conditions of German Liability

Law remain unaffected thereby.

- For second-hand equipment, the period of warranty shall be reduced

to a period of twelve months.

10. Reservation of Ownership

We retain ownership of our goods until the receipt of all payments

arising from the business relationship, including all demands arising

from installation orders, subsequent orders, repairs, accessory deliveries

and replacement orders. Should we have agreed upon payment on the

basis of cheque and bill transactions, the ownership reservation applies

until the cheque received by us has been paid in, and does not expire

through our credit upon receiving the client’s cheque. In the case of

a breach of contract by the client, especially payment arrears, we are

entitled to repossess our goods. Repossession of our goods repre-sents

a withdrawal from the contract, unless explicitly declared in writing by

us. We have the right to utilise the product after its repossession, whilst

the income form such use is balanced against the client’s arrears, after

deducting appropriate utilisation costs.The client is responsible for

handling the goods with care. Should maintenance and inspection work

be necessary, the client must carry these out punctually at his own cost.

Our client is entitled to sell the goods he has bought from us in a proper

sale transaction. However, he must immediately assign all outstanding

claims to the value of the final invoice sum (including value added tax)

of our claims to his customers or third parties. The client is entitled to

collect this claim even after such assignment. Our right to collect the

claim ourselves remains unaffected thereby.We undertake to release

the securities to which we are entitled if requested to do so by the

client should the realisable value of the our securities be more than 10

percentage points higher than the outstanding claims. We reserve the

right to choose the securities to be released.

11. Plans and Illustrations

We retain ownership of and copyrights to all plans, illustrations,

calculations and other documents which are attached to our proposals.

The client must receive explicit written permission before passing these

on to third parties. Imitating our legally patented products is forbidden

and will be prosecuted.

12. Jurisdiction and Place of Performance

Our central office is the place of performance for all disputes in

connection with these General Standard Terms and Conditions and

the contracts closed with clients under them. This jurisdiction excludes

other jurisdiction relating to persons or subject-matter. Furthermore, our

client is not entitled to bring charges against us in another court should

he file counter-charges, carry out counterbalancing or declare retention.

We, however, are entitled to bring charges against our client at their

general place of jurisdiction or at another relevant court recognised by

German or foreign law.Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation,

our central office is the place of performance.
