The financing partner makes the final decision on the financing on the basis of the information and documents provided by the customer.

5.3 Rejection. If the financing request is rejected by the financing partner, the customer can choose another means of payment. If the financing partner WD does not confirm customer's financing request, WD will not confirm the customer's order, so no contract with WD will be concluded.

8.1 Warranty. For delivered products, the existing, legal liability for defects applies, unless otherwise regulated in this contract or otherwise agreed between the parties. In the case of used products, claims for defects and claims for damages, which are directly related to a defect, become time-barred within one year after delivery. With respect to entrepreneurs, the warranty period for all products delivered by WD shall be one year from delivery.

8.2 Guarantees: Any guarantees given by us for certain articles or manufacturer's guarantees granted by the manufacturers of certain articles shall be in addition to the claims for material defects or defects of title within the meaning of article 8.1. Details of the scope of such guarantees are set out in the guarantee conditions which may be enclosed with the articles. An additional guarantee exists for the products delivered by us only if this was expressly stated in the order confirmation for the respective article.

8.3 Duty of inspection and notification of defects for entrepreneurs. If you are an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB, the delivered product shall be deemed approved if you do not inspect the goods upon receipt and notify WD immediately of any defects. For defects that only become apparent at a later date, the warranty period for entrepreneurs shall be 12 months for items delivered by WD - except in the case of claims for damages.

8.4 Exclusions. Excluded from the warranty pursuant to Article 8.1 are in particular damages resulting from improper use of the Products, a breach of Article 8.1 this Agreement, use contrary to WD's or the manufacturer's specifications or for an unspecified purpose, negligence, improper storage or safekeeping of the Products, accident, defects resulting from transport of the Products, and normal loss or wear and tear.

In the event of simple or slight negligence, WD shall only be liable for damages resulting from the breach of a material contractual obligation. Material contractual obligations are those obligations that make the performance of the Contract possible in the first place, the non-fulfillment of which endangers the achievement of the purpose of the Contract and on the fulfillment of which the contracting party may rely ("Cardinal Obligations"). The above limitation of liability shall not apply in the event of culpable injury to life, limb or health or in the event of the absence of a warranted characteristic.

WD's liability is otherwise excluded.
