Standardised work offers protection

OBO offers cable support systems made by professionals for
professionals: The technical properties are guaranteed by DIN EN
61537 (follow-up to DIN VDE
0639). It describes all the relevant
parameters from the area of application, through test conditions,
up to corrosion resistance and
temperature classification. As a
competent manufacturer of cable
support systems, OBO subjects itself to these requirements on a
daily basis. The tests described
below guarantee the use of systems which fulfil the requirements
of the systems.
Suitable protective clothing is required for safe handling during

transport and processing.
CE-conformant
All products in this catalogue are
CE-compliant in accordance with
the appropriate EC directives. This
also applies to standard parts
such as bolts, washers and nuts
that are components of various
product systems. The appropriate
EC declaration of conformity certifies agreement with the named directives or standards, but does

notguarantee properties. The safety instructions in the supplied product information and the general
safety regulations must be complied with during installation and
use.
Testing, equipotential bonding/protective conductor
Cable support systems must possess sufficient conductivity. Only
this can ensure that the equipotential bonding and the connection to
the earth potential is sufficient. A
reduction in conductivity is often
the result of contact resistances at
joints.
To keep these contact resistances
to a minimum on the OBO cable
support systems, during the development process we placed great
emphasis on a stable connection,
which is free of contact resistance.
Of course, the developed systems
were tested in the BET laboratory.
In this catalogue, the tested articles are marked with the
test marks shown below. You can
request the appropriate test reports at any time via our hotline.

Load tests for cable support systems

All the OBO articles and systems
are subjected to practical load testing. The basic principles for the
tests of OBO cable support systems are included in DIN EN
61537 and DIN VDE 0639. After
the load test, the maximum load
capacity can be determined for
each component, depending on
the support distances and specific
article parameters, such as component dimensions. This is all
shown in a chart, included with
each component.
You can find additional information
on the load tests for cable trays,
brackets and suspended supports
in this catalogue. The valuesgiven

In recent years, the use of electronic circuits has increased continually. Whether in industrial
systems, medicine, households,
in telecommunications systems
or electrical building installations
everywhere, we see powerful
electric equipment and systems,
which switch ever greater currents, achieve greater radio ranges and transport ever more energy in smaller spaces.
However, the use of state-of-the-art

technology means that the complexity of applications also increases. The consequence of this is that
evermore opposing influences (electromagnetic interference) can
occur from system parts and cables, causing damage and economic losses.
unit to function satisfactorily in its

electromagnetic environment, without inappropriately influencing this
environment, to which other units
also belong (VDE 0870-1). In
terms of standardisation, electromagnetic compatibility is dealt with
by
the
EMC
directive
2004/108/EC. This means that
electrical resources emit electromagnetic interferences (emission),
which are picked up by other devices or units (immission) which act
as receivers (interference sink).
Thismeans that the function of an
interference sink can be severely
reduced, meaning, in the worst
case, total failure and economic
losses. The interferences can
spread along cables or in the form
of electromagnetic waves.
Here, we talk of electromagnetic

compatibility.

Definition of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

information
Guarantee of EMC
Guarantee of EMC
A systematic planning process is
necessary to guarantee EMC. The
interference sourcesmust be identified and quantified. The coupling
describes the spread of the interference from the interference
source up to the influenced device, the interference sink. The
task of EMC planning is to ensure
the compatibility at the source,
coupling path and sink using suitable measures. During their daily
work, planners and installation engineers are confronted with this
subject on an increasingly regular
basis. This means that EMC is a
basic factor to be taken into consideration during the planning of
installations and cabling systems.
Due to the high complexity of electromagnetic
compatibility,
the
problems of EMC must be analysed and solved using simplifying
hypotheses andmodels as well as
experiments andmeasurements.
Cable support systems and their
contribution to EMC
Cable support systems can make
an important contribution to the improvement of EMC. They are passive and can thus make a safe,
long-lasting contribution to EMC
through the fact that cables are
run within cable support systems
or are shielded by them. Routing
cables inside cable support systems greatly reduces the galvanic
decoupling and coupling due to

electrical and magnetic fields in
the cables. Thus cable support
systems can make a contribution
to the reduction of coupling from
the source to the sink. The shielding action of cable support systems can be quantified by the
coupling resistance and the shield
attenuation. Thisgives the planner
important engineering parameters
for cable support systems for the
EMC engineering.
Lightning discharge
From the analysis of the effectiveness of EMC in buildings (EN
62305-4), we know that lightning
discharge is one of the greatest
sources of interference to be expected. This causes a direct current feed into the entire equipotential bonding system in the building
and/or to magnetic decoupling of
interference currents in electrical
cables. With regard to these couplings, cable support systems can
offer an effective contribution to
the reduction of interference voltages.

The magnetic shield insulation of

cable support systems is the ratio
in decibels (dB) of an induced voltage into an unprotected cable to
the induced voltage into the same
cable, when this is in a cable support system.
Experimental structure to determine the magnetic shield insulation of cable support systems:
An unshielded cable (NYM-J
5x6 mm) is subjected to an
8/20magnetic field with a strength
of 3 kA/m. Here, the induced voltage V1 is measured in the unshielded cable. The same cable is
then positioned in the centre of a
cable support system (once with a
cover, once without) and subjected

to the same magnetic field of 3
kA/m. Here, the induced voltage
V2 is measured in the unshielded
cable.
The magnetic shield insulation is
calculated from the measured values according to the formula:
S = 20 log (V1/V2) dB
was achieved with cable support

systems (cable trays) with covers.
Please refer to the information for
the individual products to find the
averagemeasured values.
Note:
The shield insulation against electrical fields is almost perfect, like a
Faraday cage.
Experiment result:
The magnetic shield effect S of a
cable support system could be
clearly proved by the experiments
and the simulation with an
FEMprogram.

included in the equipotential bonding system. In so doing, the partial
current flows via the cable support

The usable cross-section of the cable simulates the cavity in real laying.
An important criterion for the selection of the correct cable support

system is the cable volume, for
which there must be sufficient
space in the cable tray. As the cables are never packed tightly together or are absolutely parallel, it
is not enough to base the volume
calculation solely on the cable diameter. A realistic calculation is
provided by the formula (2r). To
save you work, we have listed the

When selecting the system, a volume reserve of at least 30%
should be planned for possible later installations.
Branches
When dimensioning branches, the
bending radii of the cables must
be taken into account.
Separation of system levels

When selecting the volume, pay attention to the different conductors.
To separate different voltage levels, you must take the required
spacings into account.
Same usable cross-section, different requirements

The following table will help you to
choose a cable support system of
the right volume. It underlines the
interplay of tray or conductor
width, slant height and usable
cross-section. The difference when
laying the same volume of data
and power cables should be taken
into account: while it is possible to
select a narrow, high tray for data
cables, a wide, flat tray is necessary for power cables. When selecting the correct system, also observe with the current DIN/VDE
standards (0298 T1 to T4). They
provide information on the heating
of conductors, depending on the
amassment and the ambient temperature.

Variant 1: Orientation to experience values

The average load capacity of a cable tray can be calculated roughly
using experience values. For a
system with a strut height of
60 mm, a value of 15 kg per
100 mm width is valid for
each metre of cable tray or cable
ladder. However, more accurate
than orientation to experience values is to calculate the cable load
using the formula from DIN VDE

the manufacturer's specifications
(Variant 3).
The graphics show the load capacities, based on experience values, of cable trays with a rail
height of 60 mm, relative to cable

Load tests for cable support systems

All the OBO articles and systems
are subjected to practical load testing. The basic principles for the
tests of OBO cable support systems are included in DIN EN
61537 and DIN VDE 0639. After
the load test, the maximum load
capacity can be determined for
each component, depending on
the support distances and specific
article parameters, such as component dimensions. This is shown
in a diagram, included with each
component.
You can find additional information
on the load tests for cable trays,
brackets and suspended supports
in this catalogue. The valuesgiven
do not take resistance against environmental forces such as snow,
wind and other outside influences
into account.

Which trays and ladders can support which cable load?

information
Information 1: The testing process

The basic principles of the tests of
OBO cable support systems are
included in VDE 0639 Part 1 and
DIN EN 61537. The purpose of the
tests is to determine themaximum
load capacities for each component, depending on parameters
such as component width, support
spacing, etc. and to present this in
a diagram to be included with
each component. In our example,
we have selected the cable tray
MKS 60. The area highlighted in
blue schematises the experiment
setup with a variable support spacing (L) in the central area and a
factor of 0.8 x L at the front and
rear ends of the cable tray.
Information 2: Load curves for

selected cable tray or cable ladder widths
The load capacity of the cable
trays according to the support
width can be read off in the diagram using the load curves this
is an example for the cable tray
MKS 60/... for the tray widths 100
to 600 mm. A key factor for the
load capacity of the cable trays is,
beside the support spacing and
side height, thematerial thickness,
which varies according to type.

KTS
OBO
29
Information 3: Possible support

spacings
The theoretically possible spans
for the cable tray can be read off
on the axis at the foot of the table.
Using the load curves, it is easy to
read off to what extent the load capacity of the system falls as the
support spacing grows. On all
OBO cable support systems (with
the exception of the wide span
trays), we recommend not exceeding a support spacing of 1.5 m, if
possible.
Information 4: Ratio: load/span

Which load is possible at which
support spacing? With the diagram, you can find the appropriate
information at a glance. In our example (with the blue background)
a span of 2.25m on the MKS tray
produces amaximum load capacity of 0.75 kN for each runningmetre of cable tray. Please note that,
in this example, the volume of the
cable traymay exceed the permitted load. Therefore, if at possible,
do not exceed the support spacing
of 1.5 m, as recommended by
OBO.
Information 5: W = Strut sag

To what extent does the load on a
cable tray cause the strut to bend?
This information is supplied by the
blue curve (w) in millimetres (orientation values on the axis on the
right-hand side of the diagram).
The course of the blue curve clearly shows how quickly the cable
tray will sag as the support spacing increases. In our example, the
bend at a support spacing of
2.25 m is shown, here approximately 12mm.

--= Load curves for the

Key components of the OBO cable

support systems are the installation components, in particular the
brackets and suspended supports.
They connect the cable trays and
ladders to the wall and to the ceiling, and are thus an important
construction element of the overall
system. When calculating the load
capacity of a cable support system, the brackets and suspended
supports must not be forgotten.
The test diagram is also useful in
selecting the right products.
KTS
OBO
31
Information 1: Recommended maximum load of the brackets

The bracket is the part of the installation system upon which the
cable tray ormesh cable tray is located. It is either directly connected to the wall or is connected to
the
ceiling
using
supports.
The grey bar on the right edge of
the diagram provides information
on the maximum load capacity of
the bracket.
Information 4: Bending of the

bracket tip at maximum load
The bending factor of the bracket
at maximum load can also be
seen in the diagram. In our example (shown in orange), the bend
value for a 610 mm wide bracket
at amaximum load of approx. 3.0
kN is approximately 4.5 mm.
To minimise the bend, the centre
ofgravity of the cable load should
be as close as possible to the wall
or the support fastening.
32
OBO
KTS
Information 2: Load curves for all

bracket widths
The bending of the bracket is dependent on its width, which, in our
example, can range from 110mm
to 610 mm. The load curves are
assigned to the appropriate bracket type.
Information 3: Bending of the

bracket tip at a specific load
The load curve in the diagram provides information on the bending
of the boom tip at a specific load.
In our example (dotted orange
line), a 610mm wide bracket with
a load of 2 kN bends by approx.
3.1 mm. A basic rule of thumb is:
The shorter the bracket, the less
the bend will be.

2 = Load in kN/m
withoutman load
--= Load curves for the

Information 1: Various support

lengths and bracket widths
The load capacity of a cable support system is not just dependent
on the width of a bracket, but also
on the length of a suspended support. The load curves in the diagram provide information on the
load capacity of a suspended support of length 600, 1,000, 1,500
or 2,000 mm, taking the bracket
width into account.
Information 2: Calculation of the

deflection for the example
The weight of the total suspended
support/bracket/cable tray system
causes an excursion of the suspended support from the vertical.
The excursion value can be read
off from the axis on the left edge
of the diagram. In our example
(blue background), a 1,500 mm
long suspended support, together
with a 400mm wide bracket and a
weight load of 4 kN at the end of
the support will produce an excursion of approximately 14mm.
Information 3: Calculation of the

excursion at maximum load for
the example
The excursion of the suspended
support at amaximum load can also be read off on the diagram. Our
blue example shows an excursion
of roughly 18mm at the end of the
support for a 1,500mm long suspended support, in combination
with a 400 mm wide bracket at
amaximum cable load of approximately 5 kN.

Terms and conditions of sale and delivery of the companies OBO BETTERMANN GmbH & Co. KG and OBO BETTERMANN Projekt und
Systemtechnik GmbH,
and OBO Befestigungselemente GmbH, Menden
1.
All our supplies and services shall be governed exclusively by the following terms and conditions, including
our additional terms and conditions for cable tray business transactions. Any terms and conditions of business and
purchasing of the customer shall be valid only if we have acknowledged them in writing. Our quotations are without
engagement; they are mere invitations to submit contract offers. Any and all transactions and agreements, including those entered into by our employees and agents shall only be binding upon our written confirmation or invoicing. The foregoing provision shall also apply to any modifications of the agreed formal requirements.
2.
The documents and data pertaining to the quotation, such as illustrations, brochures, drawings, dimensions,
loading capacity values and weight details are approximate only, unless they are expressly stipulated to be binding.
Samples are non-binding samples for inspection. Any purchase according to sample will be subject to customary
deviations and deviations resulting from normal production processes. The properties of the sample shall be no
guaranteed quality of the purchase object unless expressly stated otherwise in the confirmation of order. Samples
must be returned to us at the latest within four weeks in perfect condition. If they are not returned within this period
in proper condition, we shall be entitled to charge the purchase price for the sample in accordance with our current
price list. All information on our products, in particular the illustrations, drawings, weight, dimension and performance data included in our quotations and printed matter shall be regarded as approximate average values and
shall not represent any quality guarantee.
With regard to products made according to customer drawings, samples and other instructions of the customer, we
will not provide any warranty nor assume any liability for the due and proper functioning of the product or for any
other defects if and to the extent they are based upon the customer's specifications. The customer shall indemnify
us from any third party claims, including claims for product liability as may be asserted against us for damages resulting from the products unless we have caused such damages by intent or gross negligence. The customer shall
warrant that the manufacture and supply of products made in accordance with his instructions will not infringe any
proprietary rights of third parties. Should any proprietary rights be asserted against us, we shall be entitled, without
any legal review of the third party claims, to withdraw from the contract after hearing the customer, unless the third
party withdraws the claims asserted against us under its proprietary rights within eight days by written declaration.
The customer shall compensate us for any damage sustained as a result of the assertion of proprietary rights. In
case of withdrawal, the work we have carried out so far shall be remunerated. Further rights under the statutory
provisions shall not be affected thereby.
Any moulds, tools and design data produced by us for the execution of the order shall be our exclusive property.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the customer shall not have any claims thereto, even if he has contributed to
the costs of producing any such moulds, tools and design data.
3.
The packing, shipping route and means of transportation shall be left to our discretion in the absence of any
other agreements. They shall be charged at their cost price. We will take back undamaged cases, when being returned carriage paid, at 2/3 of the amount invoiced. The one-way or pool pallets used for transport shall be either
exchanged upon taking delivery or returned. The smallest packing units stocked and listed may not be broken up
for rationalisation reasons. In case of orders for different quantities, the nearest packing unit will be supplied.
We reserve the right to deviate from the agreed delivery quantity, in particular in the case of custom-made products, to a customary extent or in conformity with national or international standards. In case of a demand for adhering to a precise quantity, an express reference is necessary and subject to confirmation.
Master and call orders shall oblige the customer to accept the total quantity on which the master/call order is based. Where no particular call orders are specified in the contract, the total quantity of the master call order must be
called within twelve months. If the customer fails to adhere to call deadlines, we shall be entitled to deliver and
charge the total quantity in full after four weeks from written notice with reference to the consequences of any failure to call. Our rights arising from any default of the customer shall not be affected thereby.
4.
Unless otherwise agreed, our prices are quoted ex works and do not include packing and insurance. The
value added tax at the rate applicable on the date of dispatch will be added to our prices. The purchaser shall ensure the correctness of his VAT identification number, which he must notify to us immediately without being asked.
He shall undertake to inform both us and the competent domestic tax authority without delay of any change in his
name, address and VAT identification number.
Delivery shall be franco domicile within Germany, i.e. carriage and packing prepaid, if the net order value is in excess of 1,200. For small orders below 100 (net excluding value added tax), we shall invoice a lower quantity
surcharge of 10 (net) per order. Upon transfer of our supplies and services to a carrier or forwarding agent, at the
latest upon their leaving our warehouse or supply plant, the risk shall pass to the recipient, even in case of deliveries free place of destination.
5.
Delivery periods and delivery deadlines shall be approximate only unless we have expressly stated in writing
that they are binding. Delivery periods shall commence upon receipt of our confirmation of order, but not before
clarification of all execution details, ex place of delivery. The customer shall only be entitled to withdraw from the
contract after having granted a reasonable extension of time. We reserve the right to make partial deliveries.
Claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses - for any reason whatsoever - shall be subject to the provisions set out in article 10.
In the event of any circumstances that are beyond our control within the scope of normal operating risks and obstruct or make impracticable any delivery, we shall be entitled to suspend delivery by the duration of such
obstruction plus a reasonable start-up period or to withdraw from the contract for the part not yet fulfilled. The purchaser can demand a statement from us as to whether we wish to deliver within a reasonable period or withdraw. If
we fail to make such a statement, the purchaser may withdraw. Our notice to the purchaser shall be deemed to be
sufficient evidence that we have been prevented from delivering.
Delivery time is extended in case of such events as labour disputes, strikes and lockouts, orders from the authorities, difficulties with the procurement of materials, spoiled work or post-processing, shutdowns and staff
shortage as well as shortage of means of transport, and general occurrence of unforeseen events beyond our
scope of influence, by the length of duration of these events.
6.
Payments shall be made upon receipt of invoice less a 3% cash discount for payment within 10 days or net
after 30 days from date of invoice. Erection work and all paid labour work must be paid within 10 days without deduction of any cash discount. In case of non-cash payments, the date of the credit note will be deemed to be the
date of receipt of payment. Payments received shall always be credited first against costs, then against interest
and then against the earliest liability. Cheques and bills of exchange shall only be accepted as means of payment.
Any payment by bill of exchange shall be subject to a prior separate and written agreement, whereby all bill costs
shall be borne by the customer and no discount can be granted. The customer shall have no right to refuse performance and no right of retention - for any legal reason whatsoever - unless we have acknowledged his claim beforehand in writing or his claim has the force of law.
The customer shall only be entitled to set off claims which have the force of law, are undisputed or acknowledged
by us in writing.
7.
We shall retain title to the goods supplied by us until all our claims arising from our business transactions
with the customer have been satisfied - current account clause - and all bills of exchange or cheques submitted for
payment by the customer have been honoured.
Any treatment or processing of goods subject to our retention of title (reserved goods) shall be carried out for us as
the manufacturer in accordance with 950 BGB (German Civil Code) without any obligation on our part. If our reserved goods are to be regarded as the main item or the main item is owned by the customer, full title to the new
item shall pass to us when it is created. In other cases, we shall acquire a co-ownership interest in the new item in
the proportion of the sales value of our reserved goods to the other goods used for the new item at the time of
processing, intermingling, joining or mixing. The customer shall take custody of our ownership or co-ownership interest free of charge; it shall be treated as reserved goods.
Before transfer of title, our goods shall be neither pledged nor assigned as collateral without our prior consent. In
addition, any third party rights or pledges shall be notified to us immediately and we shall be given all details and
provided all documents necessary for intervention; otherwise the customer must bear our loss. In the latter case,
our total claims against the customer shall also be immediately payable.
The customer shall be entitled to sell or to use our reserved goods in the ordinary course of business subject to the
condition that the relevant claims are transferred in accordance with article 8 below. This right shall lapse upon the
customer's failure to promptly meet his payment obligations towards us or in the event of any cheque or bill protests or his suspension of payments. In such cases, we shall be entitled to take back the goods provisionally at the
customer's expense and to sell them at our duly exercised discretion after a corresponding reminder has been sent
to the customer. We will then pass the due amount to the customer's credit.
8.
If our goods are sold before payment of our claim, the customer shall be obliged to retain our title against his
purchaser until the goods have been paid for in full by the purchaser. The claim arising against the purchaser from
such resale as well as any other ancillary rights or security interests of the customer resulting from the sale and
any claims for compensation in case of damage to or destruction of our reserved property, including the relevant
insurance sum shall hereby be assigned to us. We hereby accept this assignment. Where our co-ownership interest is sold, the relevant claims shall be assigned in the amount corresponding to the value of our interest.
The customer shall, at our request, inform us of his purchasers, notify them of the assignment made and provide
us with any and all documents required to assert our rights.
As long as the customer meets his contractual obligations without delay, he shall be authorised to collect the
claims assigned. He shall keep the amounts collected on our behalf separately and remit them to us immediately
as soon and as far as our claims become due. The authorisation shall lapse in case of any cheque or bill protest of
the customer or his definite suspension of payments. The customer shall bear the costs incurred for any action
taken against third parties and shall advance them upon request.
If the security provided to us by the retention of title and the anticipatory assignment should exceed the claims to
be secured by more than 20%, we shall, at the customer's request, release paid supplies of our choice. Upon payment of all our claims by the customer, assigned claims shall pass to the customer.
9.
Any complaints for obvious defects regarding the quantity or quality of our supplies and services that are
identifiable upon careful inspection shall without delay, but at the latest within the period of limitation of eight days
from arrival of the goods at the address of the customer or the person appointed by him, be notified in writing to us,
not to our representatives. Slight deviations in dimensions and designs within the scope of defined technical tolerances shall not give rise to any right of complaint. Any rejected goods may only be returned to us with our prior
written authorisation.
In case of justified complaints within the prescribed period, we shall, at our option, take remedial action by way of
subsequent performance, by rectifying the defect, supplying non-defective goods or providing a credit note for the
lower value calculated.
We shall be entitled to refuse subsequent performance in accordance with the statutory provisions. If we refuse
subsequent performance, if any subsequent performance remains unsuccessful or if the customer cannot be reasonably expected to accept any subsequent performance, the latter shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract
in compliance with the provisions of the following sentences. The customer shall only be entitled to withdraw from
the contract - where a withdrawal is not excluded by law - upon the unsuccessful expiry of a reasonable period for
subsequent performance set by him, unless this period was not required under the statutory provisions ( 281
para. 2, 323 para. 2, 440, 441 para. 1 BGB (German Civil Code)).
In case of his withdrawal, the customer shall be liable for any deterioration, destruction or loss of use resulting from
any negligence or intent on his part. Any claims for damages or reimbursement of expenses of the customer shall
be subject to the provisions set out in article 10.
In the case of any fraudulent concealment of a defect or in the case of any provision of a quality guarantee for the
goods sold at the time of the passing of risk within the meaning of 444 BGB (German Civil Code) (seller's
declaration that the object sold has a specific property at the time of the passing of risk and that the seller, regardless of any fault on his part, intends to be answerable for any and all consequences resulting from its
absence), the customer's rights shall be exclusively governed by the statutory provisions.
We shall - in addition to the statutory grounds for refusal - also be entitled to refuse subsequent performance if and
as long as the customer fails to send us, at our request, the rejected goods or a sample thereof; the customer shall
have no right of withdrawal for any such refusal. We may further refuse any subsequent performance if the goods
concerned have been altered or modified without our consent unless the customer can prove that the defect was
not caused by such alteration or modification.
The limitation period for any claims arising from defects shall be one year; in the case of goods which have been
used in accordance with their intended purpose for a building and have caused its defectiveness, the limitation period shall be two years. The provisions of 478, 479 BGB (German Civil Code) on recourse in the chain of suppliers shall not be affected thereby.
10. In the case of a pre-contractual, contractual or non-contractual breach of duty, including unsatisfactory delivery, tortious conduct and producer's liability, we shall only be liable for compensatory damages and reimbursement
of expenses - subject to further contractual or statutory liability requirements - in the case of intent, gross negligence or slightly negligent breach of a material contractual duty (contractual duty the infringement of which jeopardises the fulfilment of the object of the contract). However - except in the case of intent - our liability shall be limited to the typical contractual damage that was foreseeable at the time the contract was entered into.
The purchaser shall not be permitted to make a claim for expenses incurred in vain.
Except for any breach of material duties, our liability for slight negligence shall be excluded, but in any case be limited to the amount of the purchase price.
Any claim asserted by the customer or a third party for payment of a contractual penalty shall be excluded.
With regard to damages caused by delay, we shall only be liable for slight negligence up to the amount of 5% of
the purchase price agreed with us.
The exclusions and limitations of liability set forth above shall not apply in the event that a guarantee is given with
respect to the quality of the object sold within the meaning of 444 BGB (German Civil Code) if a defect is fraudulently concealed or in the event of injury to life, physical injury or injury to health, or strict liability under the German
Product Liability Act.
Any and all claims for damages against us, for any legal reason whatsoever, shall become statute-barred at the latest after one year from delivery of the goods to the customer, in the case of tortious liability from the time of knowledge, or grossly negligent ignorance, of the circumstances giving rise to the claim and the person liable to pay
damages. This provision shall not apply in the case of liability for intent and in the event that a guarantee is
given for the quality of the object sold, in the case of fraudulent concealment of a defect or in the event of injury to
life, physical injury or injury to health, or strict liability under the German Product Liability Act. Any shorter limitation
periods shall take precedence.
11. We shall be entitled to process and store any customer data obtained with regard to or in connection with
the business relationship in accordance with the German Federal Data Protection Act, irrespective of whether
suchdata is provided by the purchaser himself or by any third parties.
12. Place of performance for delivery and payment is Menden/Sauerland. The court of competent jurisdiction for
any and all disputes, including disputes with regard to bills of exchange and cheques, is the Local Court (Amtsgericht) of Menden or, at our option, the District Court (Landgericht) of Arnsberg, irrespective of the value of the object
in dispute. We shall, however, also be entitled to take legal proceedings against the customer at the place of his
registered office.
German law shall be exclusively applicable. The application of international purchase laws is hereby excluded.
Should, for any reason whatsoever, individual provisions of our terms and conditions of sale and delivery be invalid, the validity and binding nature of the other provisions shall not be affected thereby. The customer agrees,
that the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the economic
meaning of the invalid provision.
13. The prices of products made of brass and copper are subject to certain fluctuations that are based on the
relevant DEL listings. The prices of our brass articles are based on a DEL listing of 150 for Ms 58, those of our
copper products on a DEL value for electrolyte copper of 200.
In case of any increase or reduction in these prices by more than 15, a five per cent surcharge or deduction shall
be made for each 15 points. The calculation of any such surcharges or deductions shall be based on the DEL listing of the date of our receipt of the order.
