  9. A complaint concerning a Product does not automatically suspend the Customer's payment obligation.

  1. Delivery shall take place to the delivery address provided by the Customer.

  9. Any amount already paid for an undelivered Product shall be credited or refunded.
  10. The remaining available Products in the same order may still be delivered.
  11. The unavailability of one Product does not entitle the Customer to cancel Products that have already been correctly delivered or prepared for shipment.
  12. If a cancelled Product becomes available again at a later date, the Customer must in principle place a new order. The price, stock status and shipping costs applicable at that time shall apply.
  13. An obligation to supply a Product at a later date shall arise only where X-treme Smile® expressly confirms in writing that the Product will be backordered.
  14. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the risk of loss or damage in B2B deliveries shall transfer to the Customer when the shipment is handed over to the carrier, to the extent permitted by law.
  15. Where the Customer selects or engages its own carrier, transport shall be for the Customer's account and risk following handover to that carrier.
  16. Incoterms® shall apply only where a specific Incoterm® has been expressly agreed in writing.

Article 8 – Failure to collect, refusal and incorrect delivery details

  1. The Customer is responsible for taking receipt of a shipment in a timely manner.
  2. If a shipment is delivered to a collection point, parcel point or other collection location, the Customer is responsible for collecting it within the retention period applied by the carrier.
  3. If a shipment is not collected in time and is consequently returned to X-treme Smile®, it shall only be sent again after the Customer has paid the new shipping costs due for reshipment.
  4. The original shipping costs shall not be refunded in such a case.
  5. The same applies if the shipment is returned due to:
    • an incorrect or incomplete delivery address;
    • incorrect company details;
    • refusal of the shipment;
    • a delivery instruction provided by the Customer;
    • failure to respond in time to communications from the carrier;
    • another circumstance attributable to the Customer.
  6. If the carrier charges X-treme Smile® return costs or other additional transport costs demonstrably caused by a circumstance attributable to the Customer, X-treme Smile® may also charge those reasonable costs to the Customer.
  7. Reshipment shall only take place after all amounts due in connection with the new shipment have been paid.
  8. This arrangement shall not apply where the return shipment was demonstrably caused exclusively by an error by X-treme Smile® or by an error of the carrier that cannot be attributed to the Customer.

Article 9 – Missing and non-received shipments

  1. If the Customer states that a dispatched order has not been received, the Customer must notify X-treme Smile® in writing as soon as possible following the expected delivery date.
  2. Before doing so, the Customer must reasonably check whether the shipment:
    • was accepted by an employee, colleague or other person present;
    • was delivered to a neighbour or nearby business;
    • was delivered to a collection point;
    • was left in accordance with a delivery preference;
    • was delivered to an alternative delivery location.
  3. In the event of a report of suspected loss, X-treme Smile® shall in principle request an official investigation by the relevant carrier.
  4. The Customer must cooperate fully with that investigation and provide all statements, information and documentation that may reasonably be required.
  5. While the official carrier investigation is ongoing, X-treme Smile® shall not be obliged to resend, replace, credit or refund the order unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
  6. X-treme Smile® may await the carrier's normal and reasonable investigation period.
  7. If the carrier does not reach a conclusion within a reasonable period, X-treme Smile® may assess the report on the basis of the information then available.
  8. The assessment may include, among other things:
    • track-and-trace information;
    • sorting and depot scans;
    • delivery records;
    • signatures;
    • photographs;
    • GPS or location data;
    • delivery preferences;
    • statements from the courier or carrier;
    • other relevant information.
  9. The official outcome of the carrier investigation shall in principle be decisive for X-treme Smile® when determining how the matter will be handled, unless specific and demonstrable evidence shows that the outcome is manifestly incorrect.
  10. If the investigation shows that the shipment was correctly delivered to the address supplied, an agreed location, a selected collection point or in accordance with a delivery instruction provided by the Customer, X-treme Smile® shall in principle not be obliged to provide a free replacement or credit, subject to demonstrable evidence to the contrary.
  11. If the carrier confirms that the shipment was genuinely lost in transit or was not correctly delivered, X-treme Smile® shall, to the extent permitted by law, determine whether:
    • the Products will be sent again;
    • replacement Products will be supplied;
    • the relevant amount will be credited;
    • the relevant amount will be refunded.
  12. X-treme Smile® is not required to provide a replacement or subsequent delivery of a Product that is no longer available or in stock.
  13. The principle that X-treme Smile® does not operate automatic backorders also applies to lost shipments.
  14. Where the investigation does not produce a clear conclusion, X-treme Smile® shall assess the report on the basis of all information available.
  15. If a shipment initially considered missing is subsequently delivered after a replacement shipment has already been sent, the Customer must immediately notify X-treme Smile® in writing.
  16. X-treme Smile® shall then determine whether the additional shipment:
    • must be returned in the manner specified by X-treme Smile®;
    • may be retained by the Customer and invoiced accordingly.
  17. If non-receipt resulted from an incorrect address, safe-place permission, delivery preference or other instruction attributable to the Customer, there shall be no right to free replacement or credit.

Article 10 – Inspection, complaints and preservation of evidence

  3. Visible defects, transport damage, incorrect deliveries and missing Products must be reported in writing no later than five (5) working days after receipt.

    • the item number;
    • the batch, lot or serial number;

    • destroy it;
    • discard it;
    • disassemble it;
    • have it repaired;
    • modify it;
    • repackage it;
    • remove relevant components.
    This applies to the extent that such actions could obstruct an investigation into the cause, safety or liability.
  9. The Customer must also retain relevant packaging, serial numbers, batch details, usage information and other reasonably necessary information.
  10. If the Customer removes or destroys reasonably necessary evidence and X-treme Smile® is demonstrably prejudiced in its ability to investigate or establish evidence as a result, this may be taken into account when assessing the claim.
  11. This shall not result in loss of rights to the extent that such a consequence is prohibited by law.
  12. Damage caused or increased because the Customer continues using a Product despite a known or reasonably apparent issue shall be for the Customer's account to the extent caused by such continued use.
  13. A Product that was demonstrably supplied incorrectly, incompletely or already damaged shall be treated as a delivery complaint and not as a claim under the Commercial Warranty.

  15. Repair or replacement does not automatically create a new full warranty period.
  16. The original warranty period shall in principle continue to apply unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  17. The Commercial Warranty does not constitute a guarantee of any specific cosmetic or treatment result.
  18. The shipping-cost arrangement in this Article applies to the Commercial B2B Warranty. A demonstrable incorrect delivery or a defect already present on receipt and reported in time shall be assessed separately in accordance with Article 10.
