Confidentiality and reservation of ownership. (1) We reserve all property rights and copyright over diagrams, plans, drawings, cal- culations, instructions, product descriptions and other documents. Documents of this kind must be used exclusively for the purposes of the contractual service and must be returned to us after the contract has been fulfilled. The documents must not be dis- closed to third parties, including after the termination of the contract. The duty of con- fidentiality will expire only when and if the knowledge contained in the documents pro- vided has become generally known. (2) The above provision applies mutatis mutandis to substances and materials (e.g., software, finished and semi-finished products) and to tools, templates, models and any other items we provide to the Supplier for production. Items of this kind – so long as they are not processed – must be stored separately and insured against loss and de- struction to the usual extent by the Supplier at its own cost. (3) Any processing, mixing or combining (further processing) of the items provided will be performed by the Supplier on our behalf. The same applies where the Goods deliv- ered are subject to further processing by us, so that we are considered to be the man- ufacturer and acquire ownership of the product no later than when further processing occurs in accordance with the legal regulations. (4) Ownership of the Goods must be transferred to us unconditionally and regardless of whether the purchase price has been paid. However, if we accept an offer made by the Supplier in an individual case that is conditional on payment of the purchase price for transfer, the Supplier’s reservation of ownership will cease no later than when the purchase price is paid for the Goods delivered. We remain authorised to resell the Goods in the regular course of business, including before payment of the purchase price, by means of advance transfer of the resulting claim (alternatively, validity of sim- ple reservation of ownership extended to resale). All other forms of reservation of ownership are, in any event, hereby excluded - in particular any extended or transferred reservation of ownership or reservation of own- ership extended to further processing. 7.
