In the event of default in payment, interest on arrears in the amount of 12% p.a. shall be deemed agreed.

  1. Conclusion of the contract outside the business premises of Wagenwerk GmbH: If the buyer has not submitted his contractual declaration either in the premises permanently used by Wagenwerk GmbH for its business purposes or at a stand used by it for this purpose at a trade fair or market, he may withdraw from the contract.

If the handover is de facto no longer possible due to loss or destruction on the part of the buyer, the contractual purchase of the vehicle to the buyer shall remain legally unaffected by this, with deduction of the price calculated for the purchase of the vehicle. The same shall apply if the buyer does not hand over the vehicle to Wagenwerk GmbH as agreed and Wagenwerk GmbH justifiably withdraws from the purchase after setting a grace period of 14 days.

X. Change of address

The Buyer is obliged to notify Wagenwerk GmbH of any changes to his residential or business address as long as the legal transaction that is the subject of the contract has not been completely fulfilled by both parties.
