Article 1 Offers and acceptance of offers

---

a) Our offers are non-binding. Orders are binding upon us only if confirmed in writing or if we have already taken action to fulfil them. Amendments, additions and oral, informal agreements affecting orders also require written confirmation.

b) Supplementary descriptive terms relating to product designations, such as "approximately"; "as previously delivered", "as in previous orders" or similar notations in our offers relate to the quality and quantity of goods only and have no bearing on prices. Such information contained in orders is interpreted accordingly by us, and any confirmation is also to be understood accordingly.

c) Quantities quoted are always approximate. Deviations of up to 10% above or below quoted quantities shall be viewed as complying with contract specifications. Such quantity deviations are fully and accurately reflected in the final invoice amount.
