The latter applies also to the cancellation of call-off(s) held in safety stock.

8. Particular Purchasing Obligations

Particular purchasing obligations for the contract partner apply, if a contract is related to the purchase of customer-specific products or merchandise or stockpiling of standard products in unusually high numbers. These apply in particular for the following cases:
8.1. Creation of a customer-specific extrusion tool: Once the construction of an extrusion tool has started, the partial costs for its creation become effective for the contract partner, regardless if the tool will actually be used for its original purpose.
8.2. Customer-specific extrusions stocked in connection with a contract have to be taken against payment by the contract partner, even if these will not be used to produce the final product as described in the contract papers. Same applies to the stockpiling of customer-specific merchandise.
8.3. Standard products, as displayed in our catalogues, which will be kept in stock in high numbers to meet the quantity requirements of a sole contract. This rule applies foremost in cases that any such contract will be cancelled or partially cancelled.
8.4. Safety stock built up in connection with a contract has to be taken against payment by the contract partner as soon as the contract ends.
