7.2         
The Kit is deemed delivered (including a fixed delivery date or punctual delivery) and the risk passes to the Customer when the Kit is handed over to the freight carrier.

7.3         
When a Kit is sent to the Customer, at the latest when it leaves the factory/warehouse, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the Kit passes to the Customer. This applies regardless of whether the Kit is shipped from the place of performance or who bears the freight costs.

8             Liability for Defects

8.1
The Customer's warranty rights presuppose that he has duly fulfilled his obligations to examine and give notice of defects according to § 377 HGB.

8.2
Claims for defects expire 12 months after the Kits are handed over to the Customer. The above provision does not apply if the law pursuant to § 438 Para-graph 1 No. 2 BGB (buildings and items for buildings), § 478 Paragraph 1 BGB (right of recourse) and § 634a Paragraph 1 BGB (construction defects) apply.

8.3
If, despite all the care taken, a Kit shows a defect that was already present at the time of the transfer of risk, micropsi will, at micropsi's option, either repair the Kit or deliver a replacement Kit, subject to timely notification of defects. micropsi must always be given the opportunity for supplementary performance within a reasonable period of time. Claims for recourse remain un-affected by the above regulation without restriction.

8.4
If the supplementary performance fails, the Customer can - without prejudice to any claims for damages - withdraw from the contract or reduce the payment.

8.5
No Claims for defects exist if the Kit only insignificantly deviates from the agreed quality, in the case of only insignificant impairment of usability, in the case of natural wear and tear or damage that occurs after the transfer of risk as a result of incorrect or negligent treatment, use of the Kit for unsuitable purposes, lack of maintenance as specified in Section 12, excessive stress, un-suitable operating resources, defective construction work, unsuitable building ground or due to special external influences that are not provided for in the contract. If the Customer or a third party carries out improper repair work or changes, there are also no claims for defects for this and the resulting consequences.

8.6
Claims by the Customer for the expenses required for the purpose of supplementary performance, in particular transport, travel, labor and material costs, are excluded if the expenses increase because the Kits delivered by micropsi were subsequently sent to a different location than the location of the Customer, unless the shipment corresponds to its intended use.

8.7
The Customer's right of recourse against micropsi only exists insofar as the Customer has not made any agreements with his customer that go beyond the legally mandatory claims for defects. Clause 8.6 also applies accordingly to the extent of the Customer's right of recourse against micropsi.

8.8
If micropsi has made supplementary performance by means of a replacement delivery, the Customer is obliged to return the Kits that were initially delivered to micropsi within 30 days at micropsi's expense.

This assignment applies regardless of whether the Kit has been resold without or after processing.

If the Kits are attached or otherwise levied upon, Customer shall draw attention to micropsi’s title and immediately inform micropsi of the attachment or levy. micropsi shall be entitled to carry out all applications and registrations as it deems necessary for securing its title and Customer shall assist upon request. The retention of title shall not affect the passing of risk under Clause 7.2.
