If the legal basis is not specifically mentioned in the data protection notice, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Article 6 (1) (a) in conjunction with Article 7 GDPR. The legal basis for processing required for the performance of our services and the execution of contractual measures, as well as for responding to inquiries, is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR. If the processing of your data is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and this interest is not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights, or freedoms, then Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. In cases where the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. Data deletion and storage duration We adhere to the principles of data minimization according to Article 5 (1) (c) GDPR and storage limitation according to Article 5 (1) (e) GDPR. We only store your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned or as required by statutory retention periods. Once the purpose of processing no longer applies or the retention periods expire, the relevant data will be deleted as quickly as possible. Notice on data transfer to third countries Our website also includes tools from companies based in third countries. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transmitted to the servers of these companies. The level of data protection in third countries generally does not meet the EU data protection standards. This means there is a risk that your data may be transferred to authorities in these countries. We have no influence over these processing activities. External links This website may contain links to third-party websites or other websites under our responsibility. When you follow a link to a website outside of our responsibility, please be aware that these websites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible or liable for these external websites and their privacy notices. Therefore, before using these websites, check whether you agree with their privacy policies. External links are either visually distinct from the rest of the text or underlined. Your cursor will indicate external links when you hover over them. Only when you click on an external link will your personal data be transferred to the destination of the link. This includes, in particular, your IP address, the time you clicked the link, the page on which you clicked the link, and other information that you can find in the privacy notices of the respective provider. Please also note that some links may lead to data transfers outside the European Economic Area. This could allow foreign authorities to access your data. You may not have legal remedies against such data access. If you do not want your personal data to be transferred to the destination or exposed to unwanted access by foreign authorities, please do not click on the links. Rights of the data subject As a data subject under the GDPR, you have the opportunity to exercise various rights. The rights arising from the GDPR are the Right of Access (Article 15), the Right to Rectification (Article 16), the Right to Erasure (Article 17), the Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18), the Right to Object (Article 21), the Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority and the Right to Data Portability (Article 20). Right of withdrawal: Some data processing activities may only occur with your explicit consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal. Right to object: If the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you, as the data subject, can object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This right also applies to profiling based on these provisions (Article 4 (4) GDPR). If we cannot demonstrate a legitimate interest for the processing that outweighs your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, we will cease processing your data upon receipt of your objection. If the processing of personal data is for the purpose of direct marketing, you also have the right to object at any time. The same applies to profiling related to direct marketing. In such cases, we will cease processing your personal data once you object. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. This is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy and can be done with a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. Right to data portability: If your data is processed automatically based on consent or the fulfillment of a contract, you have the right to receive this data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request the transfer and provision of this data to another controller, where technically feasible. Right to access, rectification, and erasure: You have the right to obtain information about your processed personal data, including the purpose of processing, categories of data, recipients, and the duration of storage. If you have any questions regarding this or other matters related to personal data, you may contact us using the contact details provided in the imprint. Right to restriction of processing: You may request the restriction of processing your personal data at any time if one of the following conditions applies: You dispute the accuracy of the personal data. You have the right to request a restriction of processing while the accuracy is being verified. If the processing is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data usage instead of erasure. If we no longer need your personal data for processing purposes, but you need the data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you can request the restriction of processing instead of erasure. If you object to processing under Article 21 (1) GDPR, an assessment will be made between your and our interests. Until this assessment is complete, you have the right to request the restriction of processing. A restriction of processing means that the personal data, aside from storage, may only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or a Member State. Provision of the website (web host) Our website is hosted by: kyberio GmbH Am Mittelfelde 29 30519 Hannover When you visit our website, we automatically collect and store information in what are known as server logfiles.

In addition to the data mentioned above, the web hoster also stores, for example, contact inquiries, contact details, names, website access data, meta and communication data, contract data, and other data generated through a website. The legal basis for processing this data is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the technically error-free presentation and optimization of this website.

Use of local storage items, session storage items and cookies Our website uses Local Storage Items, Session Storage Items, and/or Cookies. Local Storage is a mechanism that allows data to be stored within the browser on your device. This data typically includes user preferences, such as the "day" or "night mode" of a website, and is retained until you manually delete it. Session Storage is very similar to Local Storage, except that the data is only retained during the current session, i.e., until you close the current tab. After that, Session Storage Items are deleted from your device. Cookies are pieces of information that a web server (the server providing web content) stores on your device to identify it. They can be either temporary (session cookies) and are deleted after your visit to a website, or permanent (persistent cookies) and remain on your device until you delete them or they are automatically deleted by your web browser. These objects can also be stored on your device by third parties when you visit our site (third-party requests). This enables us as the operator and you as the visitor to use certain third-party services installed on this website, such as payment processing services or video display. These mechanisms have various uses. They can improve the functionality of a website, manage shopping cart functions, increase the security and comfort of website usage, and conduct analysis regarding visitor flows and behavior. Depending on the specific functions, they are classified under data protection regulations. If they are necessary for the operation of the website and to provide certain functions (e.g., shopping cart functionality), their use is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in storing Local Storage Items, Session Storage Items, and Cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. In all other cases, the storage of Local Storage Items, Session Storage Items, and Cookies is only done with your explicit consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). If Local Storage Items, Session Storage, or Cookies are used by third parties or for analytical purposes, we will inform you separately within this privacy notice. Your required consent will be requested and can be withdrawn at any time. Use of External Services Our website employs external services. External services are those provided by third parties that are used on our website. This can be for various reasons, such as embedding videos or enhancing website security. When using these services, personal data may also be shared with the respective providers of these external services. If we do not have a legitimate interest in using these services, we will obtain your consent as a visitor to our website before using them. This consent can be withdrawn at any time (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Consent Management To comply with data protection requirements, we use a consent management tool on our website. This tool is used to obtain the necessary consents for setting cookies or using external services. The consents are stored. The processing is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which the controller (website operator) is subject. Therefore, the legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Social Media Presence We maintain a company profile on social networks and career platforms in order to increase our visibility among potential customers and interested parties and to make our company visible to the public. Social networks help us to increase our reach and actively promote interaction and communication with users. Activity and communication on social media play an important role in attracting new customers and employees. Social media and our website allow us to share relevant information about our company, publish events, and communicate important short-term announcements and job vacancies. They also help us to get in touch with users quickly and easily. Social media platform operators create so-called user profiles based on user behavior, such as the indication of interests (likes, shares). These are used to tailor advertisements to the interests of target groups. When users are active on social media channels, cookies or other technologies are regularly stored on their devices, sometimes regardless of whether they are registered users of the social network. Insights (statistics) The data evaluated by social media platform operators is provided to us in the form of anonymized statistics, which means that it no longer contains any personal data from users. Based on the statistics, we can see, for example, how often and at what time our social media profile was visited. Currently, fan page operators are unable to disable this feature. We therefore have no influence on the extent to which the data is processed by social media platforms. Social Media Messenger In connection with the use of social media, we may use the associated messengers to communicate with users in an uncomplicated manner. The security of individual services may depend on the user's account settings. Even in the case of end-to-end encryption, the social media platform operator can draw conclusions about whether and when users communicate with us. Location data may also be collected. Depending on where the social network is operated, user data may be processed outside the European Union or outside the European Economic Area. This may pose risks for users because it makes it more difficult for them to enforce their rights.

Sending email information to existing customers (§ 7 para. 3 UWG) We send email notifications with information about products and services at irregular intervals exclusively to existing business customers who have already purchased comparable products from us. The processing of the contact data used for this purpose is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest), in conjunction with § 7(3) UWG, which permits the sending of advertising by email to existing customers for similar products, provided that the following conditions are met: we obtained the email address in connection with the sale of a product or service, the advertising concerns our own similar products or services, the recipient has not objected to the use of the address, and each message clearly and explicitly indicates the possibility to object at any time. Right to object (Opt-Out) Each recipient may object at any time, with effect for the future, to the use of their email address for advertising purposes, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to basic rates. An unsubscribe link is included in every email. Storage period We store the email address until an objection is received or, at the latest, until our legitimate interest no longer applies. Afterwards, the address is added to a suppression list (blacklist) to ensure that no further marketing emails are sent. Disclosure to third parties / newsletter tracking The contact data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes. If we use tracking pixels or tracking links in our existing-customer emails, this is done exclusively for statistical evaluation and to optimize our information offering. The legal basis is also Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; an objection to tracking is possible at any time. As part of sending email information to existing customers, we use the newsletter tool Brevo.

Strategic alliance of two quality leaders
Strategic alliance of two quality leaders In 2023, Hettich Group experienced its most lucrative year yet in its 120-year history. For the first time, the Tuttlingen-based global leader, specializing in centrifuges and incubators for clinical-medical applications across three European locations, significantly surpassed the 100 million euro threshold in revenue. In addition to this outstanding organic growth, the strategic growth trajectory was further propelled by an acquisition. The 100% acquisition of Philipp Kirsch GmbH by the Hettich Group marks a significant milestone for both entities. Based in Willstätt-Sand, Germany the Philipp Kirsch GmbH is a renowned manufacturer of high-quality cooling and freezing solutions for laboratories and healthcare, setting standards in quality and reliability since 1865. "Our similar business philosophy and corporate culture, characterized by a high understanding of quality, long-term thinking and action, as well as the appreciation of our employees and business partners, form the foundation of this strategic partnership," stated Dr. Jochen Kopitzke, who will continue as Managing Director of Philipp Kirsch GmbH. The best of both worlds The synergy effects of this acquisition across the entire value chain are diverse. Given the substantial overlap in target markets between both companies, the focus is on the potential of cross-selling to streamline and expand distribution channels more efficiently. Particularly, Hettich's strong international network, comprising 6 subsidiaries and over 100 established global partners, will create opportunities significantly boosting revenue and outcomes. "The Hettich Group will experience substantial growth, and this union provides us with the opportunity to challenge existing practices, learn together, and openly develop new perspectives," added Klaus-Günter Eberle, Managing Director of the Hettich Group. "A merger of two family-owned businesses is no longer commonplace. Yet, we see this as our future strength. We aim to synergistically evolve ‘the best of both worlds’ and proceed in a goal-oriented manner after both sides have had sufficient opportunity to get to know each other," remarked Managing Director Kristina Eberle. The management of both companies eagerly anticipate continuing the success story and enhancing competitive prowess. The primary focus is to offer customers worldwide a broader portfolio of high-quality laboratory products and services.

120 Year Hettich - A legacy of quality and excellence Hettich's origins trace back to a time when Andreas Hettich, a talented mechanic, embarked on the production of surgical instruments. Soon after, the company specialized in centrifuge manufacturing, with the first models successfully introduced to the market in 1908 – a legacy that endures to this day. The company has been owned by the Eberle family since 1933 and was developed into a global and successful company under Günter Eberle, which has been managed by Klaus-Günter Eberle and his family since 2005. Today, Hettich's product portfolio encompasses a wide range of small centrifuges to large-scale floor-standing models, utilized in laboratories worldwide. Additionally, Hettich offers specialized centrifuges seamlessly integrated into automated laboratory workflows. With subsidiaries in the USA, the Netherlands, Singapore, France, Switzerland, Indonesia, and sales offices in China and India, as well as qualified partners in over 70 countries, Hettich is globally present, providing its customers with first-class service and support. The launch of the HettCube incubator range in 2012 was a significant step in Hettich's portfolio expansion, which was well received by laboratories worldwide. Another highlight recently followed in 2023 with Hettich's acquisition of Kirsch, a respected German manufacturer of laboratory refrigerators. Through continuous innovation and research, Hettich maintains a strong focus on the future while preserving the values and achievements of the past.

Article 1 Scope 1. The Seller‘s deliveries, services and offers shall be made exclusively on the basis of the present terms and conditions of business. These thus apply to all future business relations, even if they are not expressly agreed again. These terms and conditions shall be deemed accepted at the latest upon acceptance of the goods or service. A confirmation on the part of the Buyer which makes a reference to its own terms and conditions of business and purchase is herewith repudiated. 2. Deviations from these terms and conditions of business shall be effective only if the Seller has confirmed them in writing. 3. All declarations relating to legal transactions must be in writing. The simple electronic form (Article 127 III BGB (German Civil Code) cannot be used in place of the written form. For this, the higher-level electronic form (Article 126 a BGB) is necessary. Article 2 Offer and execution of contract 1. The Seller‘s offers are non-binding and made without engagement. Declarations of acceptance and all orders must be confirmed by the Seller in writing or by fax in order to be legally effective. The same applies to supplements, amendments and collateral covenants. 2. Drawings, illustrations, dimensions, weights and other performance data shall be deemed binding only if this has been expressly agreed in writing. Article 3 Prices Prices in the Seller's offers and price lists are quoted ex works Tuttlingen, in Euro, exclusive of packaging, value-added tax and freight charges. The prices applying at date of delivery will be charged. The prices do not include the costs for taking back and disposing of old equipment of users other than private households. Article 4 Compliance with legal regulations 1. The supplier shall comply with all relevant laws and regulations at the place of performance, in particular environmental law, labour law (including minimum wage regulations), occupational safety law, residence law, immigration law, social security law and tax law. The same applies to the destination of the delivery or service if this is known to the supplier. 2. In the event of suspected violations, Andreas Hettich GmbH may request information, including documents and other evidence, from the supplier. Article 5 Delivery lead time 1. The deadlines and delivery lead times stated by the Seller are non-binding unless they have been expressly agreed otherwise in writing. 2. Even if the delivery lead times and deadlines were bindingly agreed, the Seller shall not be held liable for delays in the delivery of goods or services due to force majeure or on grounds of events which render it difficult or impossible for the Seller to make delivery - this also includes subsequent difficulties in the procurement of material, breakdown of operations, strikes, lockouts, staff shortages, lacking means of transport, official directives, etc. irrespective of whether these occur at suppliers of the Seller or at their sub-contractors. They entitle the Seller to postpone the delivery or service by the duration of the impediment plus a reasonable lead period, or to withdraw from the contract either wholly or in part with respect to the still not performed portion of the contract. 3. If the impediment lasts longer than three months, then, after granting a reasonable period of grace, the Buyer shall have the right to withdraw from the contract as regards the still unperformed portion of the contract. 4. Insofar as the Seller is responsible for failure to adhere to binding lead times and deadlines, or has fallen behind with performance, the Buyer shall have the right to compensation for such delay in an amount of 1% for each full week of delay, but not more than 10% of the goods and services affected by the delay. All further claims are barred unless the delay is due at least to gross negligence on the Seller‘s part. Article 5 Custom-made orders Charges for custom-made orders will be based on the Seller‘s costs. Custom-made goods cannot be taken back. The annulment of custom-made orders is possible only with the Seller‘s express written consent. The Seller has no obligation to check the samples, drawings and other documents for the existence of industrial property rights. Responsibility for this lies with the customer alone. Should disadvantages arise for the Seller from the infringement of third-party property rights through an order which is custom-made for the Buyer, the Seller may require indemnification from the Buyer for such loss. Article 7 Shipment / Passage of risk Risk passes to the Buyer as soon as the shipment has been handed over to the carrier or leaves the Seller‘s warehouse for the purpose of shipment. If, without fault on the Seller‘s part, shipment becomes impossible, risk shall pass to the Buyer upon notification of readiness for shipment. The Seller has the right to insure the shipment at the Buyer‘s expense against breakage, damage through transportation and fire, unless the Buyer expressly refuses such insurance coverage. Article 8 Warranty 1. The Seller gives warranty that the products are free from defects in workmanship and materials. The warranty period is 24 months and applies only to parts. The Seller will not bear the cost of wear parts, working time, travel time, transport or any other costs. 2. The warranty period commences upon passage of risk. 3. The Buyer shall examine the received goods immediately upon receipt for transport damage and any other defects, record the defects on the delivery note without delay and report them to the Seller. 4. In the event of notification by the Buyer that the products are not in accordance with the given warranty, the Seller may, at its option, require that a) the defective part be returned for repairs and then sent back to the Buyer; b) the Buyer hold the part ready for a service technician to be sent by the Seller to the Buyer to perform the repairs. 5. Should the repairs fail to bring about an improvement after a reasonable period of time, the Buyer may, at its option, require either a reduction of the price or the cancellation of the contract. 6. Liability for normal wear is barred. 7. Only the direct Buyer itself is entitled to assert warranty claims against the Seller. Warranty claims are not assignable. 8. Warranty claims are barred for second-hand goods. Article 9 Reservation of title 1. The Seller reserves title to the delivered goods until the purchase price has been paid in full, and other claims under the business relationship with the Buyer have been satisfied. 2. The goods in which title is reserved must not be pledged, assigned as security or otherwise encumbered with third-party rights. The Buyer has the right to sell such goods or to combine them with other movables only within the scope of its ordinary business operations. The Buyer shall ensure that the Seller‘s reservation of title remains in force and hereby assigns to the Seller its claims against its customers in full for the goods - even if such goods have been processed. The Seller hereby accepts the assignment. If so requested, the Buyer shall provide the names of its customers. 3. At the Buyer‘s request, the Seller shall release collateral insofar as the claims secured are exceeded by such collateral by more than 10% and the collateral is divisible. Article 10 Payment 1. Unless otherwise agreed, the Seller‘s invoices are to be paid within thirty (30) days of invoice date without deduction. Repair bills are payable immediately without deduction. 2. Despite contrary stipulations on the part of the Buyer, the Seller has the right to count payments towards the Buyer‘s older debts first. If costs and interest have already been incurred, the Seller has the right to settle first the costs, then the interest and, last of all, the main debt. 3. Payment shall be deemed to have been made only when the Seller can dispose of the amount paid. With cheques, payment shall be deemed to have been made only when the cheque has been cleared. 4. Should the Buyer be in default, the Seller has the right to charge interest at a rate charged by merchant banks for open current account credits plus statutory value-added tax, but in any case at a rate 8% higher than the base rate pursuant to Article 288 II BGB. Article 11 Advance payments and provision of security If, after execution of contract, a substantial impairment to the Buyer‘s financial circumstances occurs, or justified doubts arise regarding the Buyer‘s willingness to pay, the Seller shall have the right, at its option, to require advance payment or the provision of security for its deliveries. Article 12 Limitation of liability Damages claims against the Seller or against its employees or vicarious agents, insofar as they go beyond Article 4 Clause 4 of the present terms and conditions of business, are barred unless they were caused through malicious intent or gross negligence. Article 13 Delay in acceptance If there is a delay in acceptance of more than one month after notification of readiness for delivery, the Seller may charge storage fees of 1% of the invoiced amount for every commenced month. Article 14 Return of goods 1. The return of goods requires the prior written consent of the Seller in all cases. The amount credited will correspond to the countervalue less handling charges of at least 40% and any costs of reworking. The return is to be free of charge for the Seller. As a rule, custom-made orders, altered products, discontinued models and articles which are not listed in the Seller's sales documents cannot be returned. 2. In every case of complaint, the Seller and the Buyer/ Customer shall note and store the serial and/or the batch number of the product, the name and address of the next buyer/customer in the chain, stating the reason for returning the goods, the date of complaint, irrespective of whether approval is given or not. The complaint is to be forwarded without delay to the Seller and the manufacturer. Article 15 Acceptance of returns / obligation to dispose of the goods The industrial customer accepts the obligation to treat and dispose of the delivered goods in a proper manner as prescribed by law after termination of use, in particular pursuant to Articles 11 and 12 ElektroG (German law regulating electrical goods). Furthermore, the industrial customer shall expressly release the Seller from the obligations of Article 10 Paragraph 2 ElektroG (manufacturer's obligation to take back goods) and shall save it harmless from and against any third-party claims in connection therewith. The Seller's entitlement to the Buyer's obligation to take over / save it harmless shall not lapse prior to the expiry of two years after the final termination of use and of the written notification made to the Seller. If expressly requested to do so, the Seller shall organize the return and recycling / disposal of such equipment against a refund of the costs incurred, insofar as such equipment is distributed by the Seller. Article 16 Data storage 1. The Buyer/Customer permits the Seller to store its data insofar as these are relevant to the performance of the contract. 2. Pursuant to DIN EN ISO 13485 Clause 7.5.3, it must be guaranteed that the history of every delivered product can be retraced without interruption. The Buyer/ Customer as well as the Seller undertake to comply with this regulation. 3. The Buyer/Customer shall give its complete name and address to the Seller. 4. The Buyer/Customer, in the event of resale and/or of forwarding the goods for payment or free of charge, within or outside an EU/EEA member state, shall guarantee uninterrupted retraceability of the history of the goods. In all cases when the Buyer/Customer passes on the product, it shall give the serial or batch number of the said products together with the full name and address of its buyer/customer, and shall store such data for the period corresponding to the shelf life of the medical product stated by the Seller which is simultaneously the manufacturer. However, the duty to store the data shall remain in force for at least ten years after approval of the product. The records must remain legible, easily recognizable and retrievable. On request, the records made by the Buyer/Customer must be made available to the Seller at any time. 5. The Buyer/Customer shall ensure that, when it passes on such goods either for payment or free of charge, within or outside EU/EEA member states, its buyer/customer shall also comply with DIN EN ISO 13485, and retraceability is guaranteed. This buyer/customer shall also obligate its buyers/customers to guarantee uninterrupted retraceability. This obligation shall apply to all further buyers/customers in the chain. 6. Should the Buyer/Customer fail to fulfil the obligation imposed by DIN EN ISO 13485 Clause 7.5.3 and the Seller suffer disadvantages on this account, in particular in the case of a recall of the product, the Buyer/ Customer shall bear all additional costs resulting from non-compliance with this obligation. If, in the event of a recall of the product, additional costs are incurred on account of non-compliance with DIN EN ISO 13485 on the part of any buyer/customer in the chain, then the Buyer/Customer of the Seller which is simultaneously the manufacturer shall bear all additional costs which are incurred by the Seller/manufacturer through non-compliance. The manufacturer shall be saved harmless in all cases from liability for costs incurred through non-compliance with the obligation to guarantee uninterrupted retraceability. The Buyer/Customer of the manufacturer shall have recourse to its own buyer/customer and the latter from its own buyer/customer until the one responsible for the loss or injury is found in the chain to bear the damages. Article 17 Quality assurance All Buyers/Customers authorised by the Seller which have signed the "Quality agreement for the sale of medical products and products for in-vitro diagnostics" have, upon receiving authorisation, made a commitment to compliance with the guidelines and laws on the marketing of medical products and products for in-vitro diagnostics as well as general laboratory equipment. The corresponding specification of guidelines and laws will be published on the homepage www.hettichlab.com. These form part of the General terms and conditions. These are irrevocably recognised by the Buyer/Customer on acceptance of the products. Contradictory terms and conditions of purchase of the Buyer/Customer shall not be effective. The corresponding delivery notes refer to these General Terms and Conditions of Business, which the Buyer/Customer also expressly acknowledges as a constituent part of the contract. The Buyer/Customer also accepts the "Quality agreement for the sale of medical products and products for in-vitro diagnosis" which is published at www.hettichlab.com on the homepage of Andreas Hettich GmbH. The current version of this relates to matters covered by the contract. Article 18 Applicable law, place of jurisdiction, severability 1. The present terms and conditions of business and all legal relationships between the Seller and the Buyer shall be subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. 2. As far as legally permissible, the Amtsgericht (local court) Tuttlingen shall be deemed agreed as the exclusive court of jurisdiction for all litigation arising directly or indirectly - nationally or internationally - from the contractual relationship. In all cases where the value in litigation exceeds EUR 5,000, then, pursuant to the German laws of civil procedure, jurisdiction shall lie with the Landgericht (regional court) Rottweil. 3. Should any provision of these terms and conditions of business or a provision within the framework of any other agreements be or become void, this shall not affect the validity of any other provisions or agreements.
