Any deviant and/or additional agreements shall require the explicit approval of the managing board or an authorised person and have to be in writing; this also applies for any waiver of the written-form requirement.
As our offer applies for contractors only, no express contractual or legal right of cancellation applies and we grant no option to return received goods as would otherwise be available to private customers.
