Prices mentioned are to be understood strictly net, exclusive of VAT.
Delivery will be FCA Schyns GmbH, Pfingstwiese 1, 56130 Bad Ems, including customary packing (bubble wrap). No return of packing. If a lump sum for delivery has been agreed, it applies to each curbside delivery. Special agreements shall be in writing only.
Installation as well as electrical and gas connection services are not included in the performance scope, unless especially mentioned.
In principle, lamps are not included in the delivery scope (risk of breakage) and therefore are not part of the offer, except for LEDs, which are included in prices of LED lighting units.
Special tools (e.g., suction gripper) for opening the covers are included. Their quantity depends on the project’s volume. Fixing material for mounting the bed head units is not included.
The calculation of the included electric installation material such as electric sockets and socket frames is based on using standard
series in color electro-white (Gira standard cream-white), unless there are any special requirements in the tender specifications. It is, however, possible to use other series at extra costs. With the Schyns Q100 product series, Schyns free, Schyns plano, Schyns pure und Schyns S700 and their flush fitting installation design, only the Gira System 55 installation series is possible.
In principle, the bed head units can be manufactured at any requested length, provided that only one specific length applies to each position offered (serial production) and the built-in components can be installed without any problems. The offer is based on the length mentioned in the tender specifications. However, the length can be increased at additional costs. As all requested built-in components shall be installed, the overall length must be appropriate. In case the requested length is smaller than the length actually needed, extra costs will be charged for the deviation. The exact dimension of the overall length as offered cannot be claimed. The final dimension of the overall length will be fixed after receipt of order and needs to be released by the customer in accordance with the detailed technical drawings. A preliminary check and determination is not possible for technical reasons. By default, all aluminum profiles are supplied in anodized surface E6EV1, unless otherwise agreed in writing. When assembling materials with different thermal characteristics (e.g., aluminum / wood / plastic), small cracks may subsequently occur in the product or in the cover; this does not represent a defect. HPL decor elements can be bonded up to a length of 3,000 mm per element.
All materials and products to be provided by the purchaser/customer must be placed at our disposal free of charge and arrive at our factory latest 25 working days before the agreed delivery date. If those items need to be pre-coded or programmed, this must be done in advance. Provided goods are checked for quantity and transport damages only, no quality check. For defects / damages which are caused from the goods provided, we do not assume any liability. If we must make a claim due to damage /defects which are caused by the goods provided, the customer shall indemnify us from these claims.

If these two requirements are met, we will check the current production capacity and confirm the delivery date in writing. The dates and deadlines acknowledged by us are non-binding unless otherwise agreed upon expressly in writing. Deviations in delivery time may occur rarely.
Partial deliveries are permitted to the extent that they are reasonable for the customer. Any partial shipment is considered to be a separate order within the meaning of these terms and conditions. We are only liable for damage caused by delay in the event of intent or gross negligence.
