Accordance with these Terms. Customer assigns to MONTI all of its claims arising from such resale and its rights.
These General Terms and Conditions (“Terms” or “Terms and Conditions”) are the commercial terms of  purchase of products (“Products”) and shall apply to all offers, advices, orders, agreements and deliveries  of Products between MONTI WERKZEUGE GmbH (“MONTI”) and its subsidiaries and affiliates and any  commercial Customer (collectively for the purposes of the agreement the “Customers” and each, individually, a  “Customer”) as far as the Customer is a business, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public  law. In the absence of written acceptance of these terms and conditions by the Customer, any acceptance of  any delivery or service covered by an order will constitute an acceptance of these terms and conditions. Any  different or additional terms from the Customer are hereby rejected, and no waiver, alteration or modification of  these provisions or any terms of the order will be valid unless made in writing and signed by an officer or other  authorized representative of MONTI. In the event of any discrepancy between any purchase order accepted  by MONTI and these provisions, these provisions shall govern. In case MONTI does not enforce, at any time,  any one of these Terms and Conditions, such event shall not be interpreted as a change of said Terms and  Conditions, nor as MONTI’S waiver to exercise any of said Terms and Conditions. These Terms shall also govern  all future transactions between the parties and shall also apply if MONTI performs delivery despite knowledge of  differing or contrary terms. 

2. General Conditions

MONTI reserves the right to discontinue Products and to revoke or change pricing or terms of service, except  when otherwise indicated in these Terms and Conditions. If, at any time, it becomes necessary to discontinue  service to Customer, to revoke or modify any provisions in these Terms, or to allocate distribution of any  Products, MONTI will take whatever action it considers in its sole and absolute discretion is fair and appropriate.

3. Acceptance

3.1. All orders for Products are subject to acceptance in writing by MONTI and shall not be binding until the  earlier of such acceptance or shipment of the Products and, in the case of acceptance by shipment, only as to  the portion of the order actually shipped.

3.2. Customer hereby agrees: (i) to assist MONTI in obtaining any such required licenses or permits by  supplying such documentation or information as may be requested by MONTI; (ii) to comply with such decrees,  statutes, rules and regulations of the European Union and the Federal Republic of Germany and agencies or  instrumentalities thereof; (iii) to maintain the necessary records to comply with such decrees, statutes, rules and  regulations; and (iv) to indemnify and hold harmless MONTI from any and all fines, damages, losses, costs and  expenses in accordance with Section 13 hereof.

Monti shall not be obligated to extend credit.

4.2. Payments due to MONTI under these provisions shall, if not paid when due under these Terms or any such  agreement, bear interest during the time of default without prior notice.

Interest accruing under this subsection 4.2 shall be due to MONTI on demand. The  accrual or receipt by MONTI of interest under this subsection shall not constitute a waiver by MONTI of any right  it may otherwise have to declare a default under such agreement or to terminate such agreement.

4.3. If the Customer fails to pay any amount due, MONTI may, without notice to the Customer, suspend all  service provided under these Terms or in any agreement and Customer shall deliver to MONTI all Products in its  possession up to the value of the amount due.
