would have been insured, having regard to the applicable custom
in the sector.

regard to other products or parts of the agreement.

have been processed, or if these defects are not reported within
the aforesaid periods.

which is usual in the sector.

are provided by the manufacturer, importer and other suppliers.
16.3 Guarantees for used parts and accessories are exclusively provided
if and insofar as the agreement determines this.
16.4 The claims to guarantee lapse if:
a. We are not given the opportunity to rectify the defects;
b. Third parties have carried out work, without our prior knowledge
or permission, which is related to the defect and with regard to the
remedying thereof we have carried out work related to which a
claim to guarantee is made;
c. The defect is caused by accident, incorrect use, mounting and/or
installation of the products delivered by us.
d. By, or on the instructions of the other party, changes have been
made to the parts, unless all this has taken place fully in conformity
with our advice provided in writing, or after permission in writing
has been acquired from us;
e. The other party does not fulfil the agreed payment obligations as
well as its other obligations on the basis of the agreement.
16.5 The parts delivered as replacement on the basis of this article are
again guaranteed subject to the same conditions.
16.6 Excluded from the guarantee are:
- defects of materials or parts which are prescribed or made
available by the other party;

working methods made available by the other party, or, as the case
may be, advice provided by the other party.
ARTICLE 17 RETENTION OF TITLE
17.1 The ownership of the products, notwithstanding the actual
delivery, only transfers to the other party after the other party has
paid all amounts due to us concerning the products delivered or to
be delivered by us pursuant to the agreement, or any comparable
agreement, as well as with regard to the claims due to failure in the
performance of such agreements.
17.2 During the period that the ownership of a part, in accordance with
the provisions of subclause 1 of this article, has not yet transferred
to the other party, but delivery has already taken place, then the
other party must keep the part plus hull insured and the other
party is not permitted to dispose, encumber, pledge, rent out, give
in loan, or make this part available in any other manner to third
parties or to transfer this as security to third parties. If the part is
sold or transferred to a third party, then the claim which arises on
the basis of the onward supply of the parts to the third party
purchaser, will be pledged in advance without notice to the debtor,
for our benefit, and the other party undertakes hereby to
cooperate to any registration thereof. If there is accession and/or
specification of delivered and/or produced products then there is
hereby already a right of pledge established on the product of
which our product has become a component part. The other party
will indemnify us during aforesaid period against claims by third
parties to the goods concerned.
17.3 During the period referred to in subclause 2, the other party is
obliged to return the products to us on our first request. If the other
party fails in the fulfilment of its payment obligations towards us,
or if we have good grounds to fear that the other party will fail in
its obligations, then we will be entitled to take back the products
delivered by us subject to retention of title on the account of the
other party.
17.4 The other party is obliged to keep the products delivered subject to
retention of title with the necessary carefulness and as recognisably
our property.
ARTICLE 18 DATA PROCESSING

third parties. Insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data

Regulation. Personal data will only be provided to third parties if
this is required to deliver the service or when there is a legal
obligation hereto. We have made agreements with such third
parties to make sure that this personal data will not be used for
other purposes. We can perform the agreement, fulfil the
guarantee obligations towards the other party, provide optimal
service and provide the other party with product information and
personalised offers in a timely manner on the basis of this
