If a guarantee claim is filed and B&W International’s inspection of the product reveals that no defect within the meaning of Section 2.1
existed or that the guarantee claim is excluded under the terms of the guarantee, B&W International is entitled to bill the end customer
for any costs incurred in shipping the product under guarantee. This does not apply if the end customer can prove that, under the
circumstances, he or she could not have known that the guarantee claim was invalid.
7. Additional Rights

end customer is entitled to statutory rights against the respective seller in the event of defects. Exercising these rights is free of

respective seller are not affected by this guarantee.

including international—place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this guarantee is the registered office of B&W International in
49479 Ibbenbüren, Germany. The same applies if the end customer is a business customer as defined in § 14 of the German Civil Code
(BGB). However, B&W International is entitled in all cases to bring an action at the end customer’s general place of jurisdiction.
Overriding statutory rules on jurisdiction, in particular rules on exclusive jurisdiction, remain unaffected.
