(4) BIOMES shall collect, store, process, use and forward to aifinyo finance GmbH all personal data and documents necessary for this purpose, in particular name, address, invoice number and invoice amount, for the purpose of issuing the invoice as well as for the collection and, if necessary, the enforcement of the claim in court.
(5) Payments are in any case to be set off in accordance with § 366 para. 2 BGB (German Law).
§ 8 RESERVATION OF TITLE
(1) The goods shall remain our property until full payment of all outstanding and also future claims. In the case of open accounts, these goods subject to retention of title serve as security for our balance claim, which also includes any recourse claims, in particular from any liability under cheques or bills of exchange. You are entitled to process or handle the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. You shall not acquire any title by virtue of any processing, transformation or alteration of the Reserved Goods, as the Customer shall carry out such processing, transformation or alteration on behalf of BIOMES, but without any obligation on the part of BIOMES. In the event that you process, transform, combine, mix and/or blend the goods subject to retention of title with other goods not belonging to us, BIOMES shall be entitled to co-ownership of the manufactured item in the ratio of the invoice value of the processed goods subject to retention of title to the sum of the values of all other goods used in the manufacture. If you acquire full ownership of the new item, you and BIOMES agree that you grant BIOMES co-ownership of the new item in the ratio of the invoice value of the processed or combined, mixed or blended goods to the values of the other goods used. You shall hold the resulting full or co-ownership in safe custody for BIOMES free of charge. You may sell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. The relevant claims of you against your customers – in the event of processing, transformation, combination, mixing or blending in the corresponding aforementioned proportionate amount – are hereby assigned to BIOMES accepting this assignment in the corresponding amount. You are entitled to collect these claims until revoked by BIOMES, which is permissible and effective at any time. If the Customer is in default of payment towards BIOMES, you shall be entitled to revoke the direct debit authorisation and/or to demand the surrender of the reserved goods, without the Customer having a right of retention against this claim for surrender, where the counterclaim is not based on the same contractual relationship, and without BIOMES thereby withdrawing from the contract. In the event of a revocation of the direct debit authorisation, BIOMES shall be entitled to notify the third party debtor of the assignment and to demand payment to BIOMES; you shall be obliged to immediately provide the information required to assert our rights and to hand over copies of the required delivery and invoice documents to BIOMES. If the value of the securities existing for BIOMES exceeds the claims of BIOMES not only temporarily by a total of more than 10 %, BIOMES shall, upon your request, release securities in the corresponding amount at its discretion.
(2) Withdrawal from the contract shall not be required in order to enforce the retention of title unless you are a consumer.
§ 9 DELIVERY CONDITIONS
(2) Our services are provided exclusively on the basis of our terms of delivery. Any conflicting terms and conditions on your part shall only be binding on us if and insofar as we have expressly acknowledged them in writing. Our terms and conditions of delivery shall also apply if we carry out the delivery to you without reservation in the knowledge that your terms and conditions conflict with or deviate from our terms and conditions of delivery.

§ 12 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Furthermore, we are liable for the negligent breach of obligations, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place, whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract, and on whose compliance you, the customer, can regularly rely.

We are not liable for the slightly negligent violation of obligations other than those mentioned in the preceding sentences.
