GREEN CULT retains title to goods received by the customer within the framework of an ongoing business relationship until all claims arising therefrom have been settled. The customer is obliged to keep the reserved goods in proper condition for the duration of the retention of title and to carry out all necessary maintenance work and repairs or have them carried out by third parties.
b. The customer shall be entitled to process or combine the reserved goods within the framework of its proper business operations. GREEN CULT shall acquire co-ownership of the resulting objects, which the customer hereby transfers to GREEN CULT.

In such cases, the customer shall store the goods owned or co-owned by GREEN CULT free of charge.
c. The customer may resell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business against payment or under reservation of title. The customer hereby assigns to GREEN CULT, by way of security, all claims and ancillary rights arising from the resale or on any other legal grounds (insurance, tortious act). GREEN CULT accepts this assignment. If the resold reserved goods are co-owned by GREEN CULT, the assignment of the claims shall extend to the amount corresponding to the share value of GREEN CULT in the co-ownership
d. GREEN CULT revocably authorises the customer to collect the claims assigned to GREEN CULT for its account in its own name.

The proceeds to which GREEN CULT is entitled from the assignment shall be passed on to GREEN CULT immediately upon receipt. Upon request, the customer shall inform its customers of the assignment and inform GREEN CULT of the names of the debtors of the assigned claims so that GREEN CULT can disclose the assignment and/or collect the assigned claims itself.

c. The customer is obliged to inspect the delivered goods or services for quantity and quality immediately upon receipt. Obvious defects which are recognisable upon proper inspection must be reported in writing immediately, at the latest within 5 working days of receipt of the goods, stating the exact nature of the defect.

If the defects are not remedied even after a second attempt to remedy them, either by rectification or new delivery, or if GREEN CULT does not attempt to remedy them within a reasonable period, the customer may reduce the purchase price or withdraw from the contract. If GREEN CULT has not acted with intent or gross negligence, all further rights of the customer arising from the defective delivery shall be excluded.
