Remarks:

Re. Point 3.

This term relates to the so-called preservation of the purchaser’s defence based on war-ranty for defects, codified in Section 478 BGB until December 31, 2001 according to the old law. According to the court rulings issued on this subject until now, it was permissible, in general terms of business, to shorten the period in which the purchaser must report the defects from the time when the purchased object is accepted.

Because Section 478 BGB has no longer existed with this content since January 1, 2002 and the legislative body has not adopted any corresponding new regulations in the reform of the law of obligations, the application of an EU directive issued with regard to this problem is recommended by the prevailing specialist literature:

Art. 5, Para. 2 of the Consumer Goods Directive makes provision for a two-month period from the time when the goods are received in which the consumer/purchaser must notify the seller of the defects.

Re. Point 5.3

According to Section 438, Para.1, No. 2 BGB (new version), the statutory minimum statute of limitations within the framework of the liability for quality defects has now been two years since January 1, 2002 and, moreover, cannot be shortened by general terms of business (the statutory protection of the general regular limitation period is even three years accord-ing to Section 195 BGB).

Re. Point 6.

The retention of ownership is now governed by Section 449 BGB (previously by Section 455 BGB) - with largely the same content as in the old version.

Re. Point 7.

1. Since May 1, 2001 (Act Concerning the Acceleration of Due Payments), Section 284 III BGB has stipulated a statutorily standardised default regulation amounting to 30 days from the time when an invoice or an equivalent request for payment is received. Any shortening of this period in general terms of business is ineffective in regular cases.

2. The former formulation (“... 8 % above the base interest rate ...”) is notionally incorrect:

Section 288 I BGB (since May 1, 2001) prescribes “... that a money debt must yield interest amounting to 5 % points above the base interest rate during the default ...”.

3. Furthermore, the current base interest rate is 3.62 % points so that default interest amounting to max. 8.62 % can be demanded at present; therefore, the formulation proposal specified above; if the old formulation were still applied, this would result in an impermissible interest rate which would amount to 11.62 % points and would require a separate (well-founded) legal basis (e.g. the recourse to an ongoing business loan from a current account at a German bank).
