If a contradiction exists between these general terms and conditions and the additional conditions of the contracting partner of CD Lab, it shall be the responsibility of the contracting partner of CD Lab to initiate negotiations, otherwise it shall be deemed to have waived its own conditions.
    Ancillary agreements as well as changes and supplements to these general terms and conditions must be made in writing in order to be valid. This also applies to any change to the requirement of the written form.
    The contracting partner of CD Lab declares that it accepts these general terms and conditions as of the conclusion of the contract.
