For the contract of purchase the order confirmation shall prevail only. In addition to arrangements of any kind and any subsequent changes are valid if this is confirmed by TREC in writing only.

  2. Prices
    TREC’s prices are subject to change. The prices on the day of ordering are significant. Unfortunately, TREC has to reserve the right to increase prices. This is related to rising prices of raw material and higher wages. Obvious price errors in quotations can be adjusted subsequently. All prices exclude VAT.

  3. Minimum order value
    The minimum order value is $ 200. If this value is not achieved the differential amount to the minimum order value will be charged.

  6. Payment
    One third (1/3) of the total price [in US$ (US Dollar)] is due in advance after receipt the order confirmation. The remaining two-thirds (2/3) of the total price shall be payable without deduction within thirty (30) days of receipt of goods. The payment is deemed the day on which the amount is available in an account of TREC. TREC only accepts bank wire transfer and the following credit cards: Visa, Master Card, JCB for payment. In default of payment the consumer has to pay default charges five (5) percentage points above the base rate, the contractor has to pay default charges eight (8) percentage points above the base rate. TREC reserves the right to prove a higher rate of damage and claim it.

  7. Reservation of ownership
    TREC is the owner of the delivered goods until defray TREC’s expenses and solve all liabilities including accessory claims. The purchaser has the permission to sell and process the goods but not to mortgage them or use them for chattel mortgage.

  8. Delivery time
    TREC aims to provide in time of the dispatch deadline. Acts of nature which concern and prevent TREC discharge TREC from the contract performance until these acts of nature are over. This is true for TREC’s supplier or a company which acts on TREC’s instructions from doing the processing of contracts. As far as these cases are substantial and are not TREC’s fault in regard to select the supplier or distribution company the following cases are also acts of nature: industrial action and an adequately supply of raw-, auxiliary- and operating materials. Insofar as TREC comes to know that the customer’s solvency or the payment claim of TREC is at risk TREC is allowed to refuse TREC’s delivery commitment until the total obligation (payment of total price) is fulfilled or a proper security for this is furnished.

  9. Liability and indemnity
    In case of slight negligence of TREC’s responsibilities and the one of TREC’s agents is confined to foreseeable typical average damage. In case of slight negligence of non essential contractual commitment which does not compromise the execution of the contract TREC and TREC’s agents are not liable. These limitations of liability do not concern the claims of product liability or manufacturer’s warranty. An advanced claim of damages is impossible without notice of the legal status of the alleged damage. This is expressly for damages of fault when the contract is concluded or other neglect of duty. So far as the claim for compensation should be excluded towards TREC it is also excluded towards TREC’s employees, agents and vicarious agents.

  10. Freight damage
    TREC is not liable for incurred damage during the shipment. With the handover to the carrier, the risk passes to the buyer.

  11. Mistake in shipment
    Send TREC a message immediately. The supply must be reviewed immediately on receipt. The customer has to check the intactness, completeness, identity and the quality of the delivery. Falsities from TREC will be adjusted within ten (10) days after receiving the goods as far as possible. The goods have to be returned in their original, former condition, this includes proper and equivalent packaging. In this way damage can be avoided through the shipping.

  12. Right of rescission
    The consumer has the possibility to cancel the purchase within 2 (two) weeks without previous notice. The recall can be occurred in text format (letter, fax, email, etc.) or if the goods should sent to the customer before the deadline is over you can cancel by sending the goods back to TREC. The recall is to address to:

    Thomas RECORDING GmbH

    35594 Giessen
    Germany
    or
    telefax message: +49(0)6419441414
    or

    If the customer is not a consumer and is the contract a trade business as well for the customer it obtains the obligation to exercise diligence of a prudent businessman. The goods must be reviewed immediately on receipt. Obvious defects have to be reported to TREC. If this does not happen the goods are approved.

    In case of an effective recall the efficiency is to give back on both sides. If the customer cannot send TREC the received efficiency in whole or in part or in a worse state she or he has to achieve compensation. This does not apply the damage which results from testing the goods – just like it would have been possible for the customer to do this in the laboratory of TREC. The customer can prevent the compensation if she or he does not use the goods as her or his property and omits anything that reduces the value of the goods.

    The packet freight has to be sent back at the liability of TREC. The customer has to pay the costs of the return shipment if the payment or an agreed partial payment has not been transferred yet. Otherwise the return shipment is free. Obligations for refunding the payments must be fulfilled within thirty (30) days. The customer’s deadline starts with sending the goods back to TREC, TREC’s deadline starts with the reception of the goods.

    Under legal order there is no cancellation right concerning supplies of computer software in closed packages with an unbroken seal when the seal is broken. This extends to supplies of custom-made-products or which are customized on personal requirements or which are not proper for a return shipment.

  13. Manufacturer’s warranty and product liability
    TREC guarantees that the supplied goods are free of defects in material and manufacture for a period of six (6) months commencing at time of date of dispatch. TREC will repair or replace any supplied product that does not fulfill the guarantee. The guarantee is repealed by doing the following things: (1) Any modification or tried modification of the product, which is not carried out by authorized employees of TREC; (2) any misuse, any negligent handling or wrongly use of the product. This is the only guarantee which is given by TREC. There are no more formulated or implicit guarantees which range beyond the guarantee given above or which are adaptable on other persons then the primal purchaser. This includes the implicit assurance for a certain purpose. There is no case TREC is liable for incidental or consequential damage or for damage of patent law or for the rights of a third party based on using our products. The manufacturer’s warranty does not influence the claims on legal warranty of the customer.

  14. Usage rights of software
    If software is (also) an item of the delivery transaction the customer purchases in point of the dedicated software a non exclusive, spatial and a boundless easement for using the software on one appliance. It is allowed to make a copy of the software on conditions of using it for a backup only. This does not apply if a backup is contained in the delivery. If the customer changes the hardware she or he has to delete the software from the old hardware. The customer is allowed to sell the software or give it away to a third party if these accept the enduring application of these usage rights of software.
