The Period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the customer has sent the offer and ends on the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer.

If, in the event of the seller's goods being combined or mixed with an item belonging to the customer, this is to be regarded as the main item, co-ownership of the item passes to the seller in the ratio of the invoice value of the seller's goods to the invoice value or, in the absence of such, to the market value of the main item. In these cases, the customer is considered to be the custodian.

The customer may neither pledge nor assign items subject to retention of title or legal reservation as security. The customer is only entitled to resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. The customer assigns all claims against third parties arising from this to the seller in advance in the amount of the respective invoice value (including sales tax). This assignment applies regardless of whether the reserved goods were resold without or after processing. The customer remains authorized to collect the claims even after the assignment. The seller's authority to collect the claims itself remains unaffected. However, the seller will not collect the claims as long as the customer meets his payment obligations to the seller, does not fall into arrears and no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been made.
