2. After the end of use of the devices supplied by Kronen Küchengeräte GmbH, the customer is obliged to dispose of the devices at his own expense. The legal regulations must be observed for disposal.

The customer releases Kronen Küchengeräte GmbH from all obligations under Section 10, Paragraph 2 of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) - in particular from the manufacturer's obligation to take back the product and all related third-party claims.

If delivered devices are passed on to third parties, the customer is obliged to contractually oblige them to dispose of the devices properly after the end of use in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the devices are passed on again, the third parties must be contractually obliged to impose a corresponding further obligation on the recipients of the devices.

X. Retention of title

​

3. The buyer may neither pledge the delivery item nor assign it as security prior to the transfer of ownership. In the event of attachments, confiscation or other dispositions by third parties, the buyer must notify us immediately.

4. If the buyer behaves in breach of contract, in particular in the event of default in payment, we are entitled to take back the goods after a reminder. The buyer is obliged to surrender. Neither the assertion of the retention of title nor the pledging of the delivery item by us counts as withdrawal.

5. An application to open insolvency proceedings against the buyer's assets entitles us to withdraw from the contract and to demand the immediate return of the delivery item.

6. If the contract is reversed for reasons for which the buyer is responsible, the seller is entitled to demand compensation for the reduction in value for the use and use of the item.
