1. Inclusion
AB InBev sells and delivers exclusively subject to the following terms and conditions. By purchasing AB InBev products, the customer accepts these terms and conditions. Deviating terms and conditions are hereby expressly rejected.

2. Delivery
Promised dates, delivery periods, and quantities will generally be adhered to. However, industrial action, partial or complete failure of product resources, delays in their delivery, transport disruptions, or other events of force majeure entitle AB InBev to postpone delivery for the duration of the disruption or delay plus a reasonable start-up time. The same applies to seasonal excess demand. Claims for damages due to operational delays of up to three working days in a promised delivery are excluded. In the event of an operational delay of more than three working days, the customer's claim for damages is limited to the direct loss resulting from the resale of the delayed or canceled delivery. Otherwise, Section 8 applies. The existence of continuing obligations, in particular long-term supply contracts, remains unaffected.
If the customer picks up goods or other items themselves, they are obligated to load them safely onto suitable vehicles, even if they are assisted by employees of AB InBev or affiliated companies. The customer indemnifies these companies and their employees against all damages and claims from third parties.

3. Quality and Warranty
AB InBev delivers beverages of impeccable quality, manufactured in accordance with applicable legal regulations. Any quality complaints must be reported immediately by the customer. Complaints regarding the quantities or prices stated on the delivery notes and/or invoices – including for pallet deliveries – must be made upon receipt of the goods, but no later than within 10 days. In the event of a late complaint, the customer loses the right to subsequent delivery or a credit note.

4. Prices and Payments
Delivery will be made at the current prices/list prices or agreed selling prices valid for the respective customer group on the day of delivery, plus statutory VAT. Price changes become effective upon notification to the customer.
Claims arising from deliveries are due immediately upon receipt of the invoice, net. Except to the AB InBev accounts listed above, payments can only be made to AB InBev employees authorized in writing for collection. In the event of late payment, AB InBev has the right to demand cash payment or settlement of outstanding payments. Only undisputed or legally established claims may be offset against AB InBev's claims.

5. Retention of Title
AB InBev retains title to delivered goods until all claims arising from the business relationship have been paid in full and any balance due to the customer from the current account has been settled.

6. Retention of Title
AB InBev retains title to the delivered goods until all claims arising from the business relationship have been paid in full and any balance due from the current account has been settled. The resale of goods delivered subject to retention of title may only take place in the ordinary course of business. The customer may not pledge the goods or assign them to third parties as security.
The customer hereby assigns in advance to AB InBev any claims against third parties arising from the resale of the goods subject to retention of title. AB InBev accepts this assignment. AB InBev is entitled to notify the third parties designated by the customer of the transfer of the claim and to assert the assigned claim in its own name.
If the assigned claim against the third-party debtor has been included in a current account or other settlement, the customer assigns the resulting claim to AB InBev in the amount of the most recently determined balance; the same applies to the causal balance in the event of the customer's insolvency. If the claim is included in an invoice that also includes claims assigned to third parties, the customer assigns the resulting total claim to AB InBev pro rata.
If the assigned claims exceed AB InBev's claims by more than 10%, AB InBev is obligated to release the remaining claims. The selection of the claims to be released is at AB InBev's sole discretion.

7. Empties
Empty containers intended for reuse (e.g., crates, reusable bottles, kegs, CO2 cylinders, pallets, etc.) are provided to the customer only for their intended use and must be returned immediately to AB InBev or a third party designated by AB InBev. They remain the inalienable property of AB InBev or the brewery producing them. Additional labeling requires the express consent of AB InBev in all cases.
AB InBev is entitled to charge a deposit at the usual rate.
