6. Transport damage
If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please complain about such defects to the delivery company as soon as possible and contact us immediately. Failure to make a complaint or contact us has no consequences for your legal claims and their enforcement, in particular your warranty rights. However, they help us to be able to assert our own claims against the carrier or the transport insurance.

7. Warranty and guarantees
Unless otherwise expressly agreed below, the statutory liability for defects shall apply.

The following applies to the purchase of used goods by consumers: if the defect occurs after the expiry of one year from the delivery of the goods, the claims for defects are excluded. Defects occurring within one year of delivery of the goods may be claimed within the statutory limitation period of two years from delivery of the goods.

For entrepreneurs, the limitation period for claims for defects in newly manufactured goods is one year from the transfer of risk. The sale of used goods is subject to the exclusion of any warranty. The statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse according to § 445a BGB remain unaffected.

In relation to entrepreneurs, only our own information and the manufacturer's product descriptions included in the contract shall be deemed to be an agreement on the quality of the goods; we accept no liability for public statements by the manufacturer or other advertising statements.
If the delivered item is defective, we shall initially provide a warranty to entrepreneurs at our discretion by rectifying the defect (subsequent improvement) or by delivering an item free of defects (replacement delivery).
The above restrictions and reductions in time do not apply to claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents:
