Terms & Conditions
General Terms of Delivery
Scope of Delivery
The range of work and its delivery are exclusively specified by the items listed in our
quotation and/or acknowledgement of order.

Delivery
Unless otherwise agreed, all drawings and documents according to our contract shall
be delivered via e-mail and / or in 1-fold as white paper copy. Diagrams and/or
documents shall be drawn up according to international engineer standard, unless
otherwise agreed upon. Delivery of diagrams and/or documents is considered when
they are submitted by e-mail handed over to postal service, Airline Company or to a
forwarding agent. The customer has to bear the risk of damage or loss of
consignment during shipment and the resulting delay.

Time of Delivery
In the absence of any other agreement, the period of delivery shall begin at the
latest of the following dates:
the date of the order confirmation
the date on which Buyer has complied with all technical, commercial and financial
preconditions for which Buyer is responsible under the contract
the date on which ozean engineering GmbH has received a payment on
account that is due prior to the delivery of the goods, and/or a payment guarantee
has been issued or otherwise provided
Time of delivery may be changed as a consequence of force majeure and alterations
and delayed deliveries of documents by the customer and by third parties. Events
beyond our influence may also affect time of delivery. Force majeure also includes
the loss of working hours of one of our experts due to illness as some work can
frequently be done by particular experts only. The loss of working hours through
illness can be proved by medical certificate. Our times of delivery are based on the
assumption that the working process will not be interrupted. Every interruption of
our working process caused by lack of technical data and information, decisions of
the customer and arrears in payment may postpone delivery. If our general costs
should increase during such delays our charges for the diagrams and/or documents
still to be delivered have to be adjusted accordingly.

Projects, lines with and without bulbous, models, programs, descriptions and other
documents, as well as work derived from this, remain our intellectual property even
if they remain unmentioned. Our copyright is reserved. Without our permission
these documents must neither be published nor copied, sold or passed on to a third
party. If diagrams and/or documents as mentioned in greater detail above are sold to
a third party or if this third party should use documents which are passed on by our
customer use these documents commercially. Our customer is obliged to inform us in
writing request for approval in any case. When handing over diagrams and/or
documents to the shipyard or to a third party the customer is required to inform
them about the above-mentioned obligation.

alterations should become necessary for reasons beyond our responsibility or if the
customer wishes to change diagrams and/or documents which have already been
completed or are still being worked on the expense has to be covered separately on
the basis of the additional costs arising. Concerning additional costs and the altered
time of delivery a written agreement has to be made before the changes required
are executed.

Prices

and/or acknowledgement of order. In case of delays in delivery caused by missing
documents and information to be provided by the customer and/or his
subcontractors and caused by decisions to be taken by them as well as for other
reasons as mentioned in paragraph 4, the work still to be done after the delivery
date agreed upon shall be invoiced to the customer according to the salaries and
costs valid at the time, on the basis of the official statistics.
