statutory regulations, the seller must bear traffic duties alone. We

completion of a transaction no other conditions of payment have been
stipulated in writing, our invoices shall be payable net after 30 days.

credit standing of a purchaser, we shall be entitled to cancel the
contract even after partial fulfillment or to defer our performances
until consideration is executed or security be provided for such
consideration. Should the described circumstances arise for the
purchaser or acceptors during the currency of a check or bill of
exchange, we shall be entitled to return the check or bill of exchange
at any point in time. In such case, we shall also be entitled to demand
immediate payment in cash of deferred accounts receivable. Seizures or
any other risk to our ownership shall be reported to us immediately.
Right of Cancellation:

events shall exclude indemnity claims and shall entitle us to cancel
the contract entirely or partially. We shall also be entitled to
cancellation of contract on the mutual understanding for other reasons,
which seriously obstruct or hamper the execution of the contract. The
