Dieses Dokument stellt die allgemeinen Geschäfts-, Zahlungs- und Lieferbedingungen zur Verwendung im Geschäftsverkehr mit Kunden dar.

Im Folgenden wird das Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH mit Sitz in Deutschland vereinfacht Osmium-Institut genannt.

Präambel:

Das Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH hat die Aufgabe, international den Handel mit kristallinem Osmium zu regulieren und Handelsware zu zertifizieren, deren Echtheit zu prüfen und zu bestätigen sowie neu kristallisiertes Osmium erstmalig in den Verkehr zu bringen. 

Um diesen Zweck erfüllen zu können, unterhält die Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH eine Datenbank mit sämtlichem ausgeliefertem Osmium. 

Die im Internet verfügbare Inverkehrbringungserläuterung ist Teil dieser AGB.

§1  Geltungsbereich

1. Die nachfolgenden allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen gelten für alle Lieferungen, Leistungen und Angebote im Namen und Abwicklung des Online Internet Shops des Osmium-Instituts im rechtsgeschäftlichen Verkehr mit Kunden. Kunden, respektive Verbraucher im Sinne der Geschäftsbedingungen sind natürliche oder juristische Personen, die mittels der Shop-Website des Osmium-Instituts durch Handel mit dem Osmium-Institut in Geschäftsbeziehung treten. Natürliche Personen in Europa müssen dabei das 18. Lebensjahr erreicht haben und geschäftsfähig sein. Im außereuropäischen Ausland gilt jeweils die Volljährigkeitsgrenze des jeweiligen Landes. 

2. Mit der Auftragserteilung, spätestens aber mit Entgegennahme der Leistung oder Lieferung des Osmium-Instituts erkennt der Kunde diese Bedingungen an. Gegenbestätigungen des Kunden unter Hinweis auf die Geltung seiner Geschäftsbedingungen wird hiermit widersprochen. Abweichungen von diesen Geschäftsbedingungen sind nur wirksam, wenn sie schriftlich vom Osmium-Institut bestätigt werden.

 

§2  Abwicklung, Lieferung, Gefahrenübergang

1.) Der Kunde beendet seine verbindliche Bestellung mit der Übermittlung  des ausgewählten Warenkorbes an das Osmium-Institut per Internet auf der Internetseite www.buy-osmium.com oder einer Partnerseite, die im Hintergrund der Seite an das Warenhaltungssystem der buy-osmium.com angebunden ist. Kunde ist in diesem Zusammenhang jeder Besteller, der die Internetplattform nutzt. Damit sind auch Handelspartner mit rabattierten Einkaufskonditionen im Sinne dieser AGB Kunden. 

2.) Die Waren sind in zwei Kluster aufgeteilt:

2a) Waren, die mit einer Warengruppe wie Osmium-Diamonds oder Osmium-Disks angehören und direkt nach dem angegebenen Gewicht bestellt werden können. In diesem Fall ist jedes Stück ein Unikat mit festen Maßen und festem Gewicht. Jedes Stück wird mit einem eigenen Preis angegeben. Für die Warengattung ist jeweils stellvertretend ein Bild zu sehen. Das Originalzertifizierungsbild ist nach dem Einkauf auf www.osmium-identification-code.com zu sehen, wenn der entsprechende Osmium-Identification-Code eingegeben wird.

2b) Paket-Waren, die nach dem zu bestellenden aktuellen Wert in Euro oder USD klassifiziert werden. Paket-Waren dieser Art beinhalten beliebige Stücke Osmium je nach Warenbestand im Lager des Osmium-Institutes. Es wird bei der Zusammenstellung jeweils die bestellte Masse oder der Warenwert am Auslieferungstag respektive Ausbuchungstag eingestellt. 

Die gelieferte Warenmenge wird diesen Wert bei Auslieferung immer übersteigen, ohne dass ein Aufpreis anfällt. Die Überliefermenge wird als Rabatt ausgewiesen. Partner mit eigenem Internetshop können ausschließlich, selbst erworbene Stücke oder Paket-Waren veräußern, da die Stücke im Paket selbst im Moment des Verkaufs noch unspezifiziert sind und deshalb nicht optioniert werden müssen. Ware, die durch einen Partner bereits erworben und bezahlt wurde kann im eigenen Shop eines jeden Partners auch spezifiziert angeboten werden. 

3.) Im Bestellvorgang wählt der Kunde die gewünschten Produkte, bestätigt im Bezahlvorgang die ausgewählte Ware und erhält vom Osmium-Institut eine Proformarechnung mit einer vorläufigen Rechnungsnummer per E-Mail. Die Proformarechnung wird im Bestellvorgang umgehend elektronisch versendet. 

4.) Die Wahl des Versandservice obliegt allein dem Osmium-Institut. Die Versandkosten im Inland trägt der Kunde. Sie sind in der Proformarechnung bereits ausgewiesen. In besonderen Fällen übernimmt der Versender Versicherung und Versandkosten, jedoch besteht durch einmalige Ausführung kein Anspruch auf eine Regelmäßigkeit.

5.) Bestellungen und deren Abwicklung sind 24 Stunden am Tag, an 7 Tagen der Woche gewährleistet. Die Auslieferung erfolgt ausschließlich werktags.

6.) Der Kunde überweist innerhalb von 3 Banktagen den bestätigten Kaufpreis ohne Abzüge auf das angegebene Bankkonto des Osmium-Instituts. Die Überweisung erfolgt in Euro.

7.) Nach Geldeingang erhält der Kunde vom Osmium-Institut eine Bestätigung des Geldeingangs, die Originalrechnung mit schlussendlicher und verbindlicher Rechnungsnummer. Der Kunde erhält eine Information über das voraussichtliche Versanddatum. Sollte der Gesamtbetrag noch nicht vollständig überwiesen sein, wird die Ware bis zur vollständigen Zahlung nicht ausgeliefert. 

8.) Lieferzeiten hängen vom Bestand an Lagerwaren und vom Komplexitätsgrad von neuen Formen ab. Die maximale Lieferzeit beträgt jedoch maximal drei Monate. Sie kann erreicht werden, wenn der Kristallisationszyklus sich Produktartbedingt verlängert. Sie kann nur bedingt beeinflusst werden. Ware, die im Institut vorliegt, wird spätestens innerhalb dreier Werktage versandt. 

Sollten Lieferzeiten den Zeitraum von drei Monaten überschreiben, so wird der Kunde mit Ablauf dieser Frist über die Lieferzeit informiert und erhält parallel ein Rücktrittsrecht.

9.) Sobald die Waren auf dem Versandweg sind, erhält der Kunde eine Versandbestätigung für die bestellte Ware per e-mail mit einem Code zur Nachverfolgung der Ware. Im Sonderfall der Direktauslieferung per Kurier wird ein Datum bekanntgegeben oder mit dem Kunden vereinbart, zu dem die Ware geliefert wird.

Die Vereinbarung verbindlicher Liefertermine bedarf der Schriftform. Sollte sich durch nicht beeinflussbare Umstände die Auslieferung der bestellten Ware verzögern, erhält der Kunde eine schriftliche Information.

Die Zustellung erfolgt durch ein Logistikunternehmen von Montag bis Freitag in Deutschland, Österreich oder im innereuropäischen Ausland. Die Lieferzeit beträgt für Lagerware in der Regel nicht mehr als 10 Werktage nach Geldeingang. Im außereuropäischen Ausland kann die Lieferung sich je nach den Einfuhrbestimmungen, der Zollabwicklung oder den Versandmethoden des Versenders erhöhen. Vor allem Schiffs- und Bahntransporte sind hiervon betroffen. 

10.) Der gesamte Warenwert der jeweiligen Sendung ist versichert. Es fallen pro Bestellung pauschale Bearbeitungsgebühren, inklusive versichertem Versand, laut Versandkostentabelle im Shop an.

Die Gefahr des zufälligen Untergangs und der zufälligen Verschlechterung des Liefergegenstands im Falle der Versendung geht erst mit Übergabe auf den Kunden über. Der Übergabe steht es gleich, wenn der Kunde im Annahmeverzug ist.

Bei Untergang der Ware oder Verschlechterung des Lieferzustandes hat das Osmium-Institut das Recht der Nachbesserung nach Rückversand der beschädigten Ware. Die hierdurch verlängerte Lieferzeit wird durch den Kunden akzeptiert.

Sämtliche Ware verlässt das Osmium-Institut nach einem gründlichen Qualitätscheck in der hierfür vorgesehenen Standardversand- und Präsentationsverpackung. Die Warenüberprüfung erfolgt in einem zweiten Schritt noch einmal bei Verpackung und wird für den Kunden im Pakten sowie elektronisch dokumentiert. 

Im Lieferumfang sind ein USB-Stick mit Daten zu Osmium, ein Kugelschreiber, eine Broschüre, ein Button und eine Lampe enthalten, die der Kunde kostenfrei im Lieferumfang erhält. Die Waren dienen der verbesserten Präsentation des Osmiums.

 

§3  Angebot, Preise und Vertragsabschluss

1. Die Angebote des Osmium-Instituts sind freibleibend und unverbindlich. Verträge kommen erst mit der Zahlung an das Osmium-Institut zustande. Das Osmium-Institut behält sich vor,  Aufträge die vom Kunden bei einem technischen Defekt des Shopsystems in Auftrag gegeben wurden, nicht auszuführen.

2. Als vereinbart gelten die am Tag und zur Zeit des Vertragsschlusses gültigen Preise in Euro zzgl. der jeweiligen gesetzlichen Mehrwertsteuer. Es gelten die Preise aus dem jeweils täglich veröffentlichten Osmium-Fixing, die auf der Seite www.osmium-preis.de bekannt gegeben werden. Die Seite wird durch das Osmium-Institut betrieben.

3. Es besteht kein Widerrufsrecht bei Fernabsatzverträgen über die Lieferung von Waren, deren Preis auf dem Finanzmarkt Schwankungen unterliegt, auf die der Unternehmer keinen Einfluss hat und die innerhalb der üblichen Widerrufsfrist auftreten können.

4. Erfolgt die Bestellung des Kunden auf elektronischem Wege, so wird das Osmium-Institut deren Eingang unverzüglich bestätigen. Die Eingangsbestätigung stellt noch keine verbindliche Annahme der Bestellung dar.

 

§4  Zahlungsbedingungen, Verzug, Gegenansprüche, Ausliefermenge

1. Der Rechnungsbetrag ist sofort nach Eingang der Rechnung ohne Abzüge fällig und zahlbar. Zahlt der Kunde nicht innerhalb von drei Valutatagen ab Fälligkeit, kommt er ohne Mahnung in Verzug. Der Kunde hat während des Verzugs die Geldschuld in Höhe von 6 % über dem Basiszinssatz zu verzinsen.

2. Zahlungen gelten erst dann als geleistet, wenn das Osmium-Institut verlustfrei und abzugsfrei über den Betrag auf dem Bankkonto des Osmium-Instituts verfügen kann.

3. Die Ausübung eines Zurückbehaltungsrechts gegenüber dem Entgelt durch den Kunden ist ausgeschlossen, soweit das Zurückbehaltungsrecht nicht auf demselben Vertragsverhältnis beruht. Ein Aufrechnungsrecht steht dem Kunden nur für den Fall zu, dass eine Gegenforderung rechtskräftig festgestellt, unbestritten oder durch das Osmium-Institut anerkannt ist.

4. Sofern ein Produkt mit einem festen Gewicht im Shop angegeben wurde und es sich auf ein definiertes Stück handelt, wird exakt dieses angebotene Stück zur Auslieferung gebracht. 

5. Wenn ein Produkt mit dem Mindestgewicht einer Produktklasse angeboten wird, ist das Osmium-Institut berechtigt ein Stück auszuwählen, welches ein höheres Gewicht besitzt. Eine Differenzzahlung für die Übermenge darf das Osmium-Institut in diesem Fall nicht verlangen. 

6. Im besonderen Fall, dass Untermengen einer gewünschten Produktgruppe zur Auslieferung kommen sollen, kann das Osmium-Institut bei zu wenig Lagerbestand an exakt zuweisbaren Gewichten auch bei bis zu 10% Abweichung des Gewichtes nach unten ausliefern, ist jedoch verpflichtet, die Abweichung in Form von Osmium-Stars, Osmium-Starrows oder Osmium-Diamonds aufzufüllen. Dabei gilt jeweils der Verkaufspreis der bearbeiteten Diamonds und Stars auch wenn die Masse des ausgelieferten Osmiums dann nach unten abweicht, da die genannten Produkte Fertigungskosten im Schnitt zur Folge haben.

 

§5  Eigentumsvorbehalt

1. Die gelieferte Ware bleibt bis zur vollständigen Zahlung des Entgeltes und aller bestehenden Forderungen aus der Geschäftsverbindung mit dem Kunden das Eigentum des Osmium-Instituts oder des verkaufenden Händlers. 

2. Der Kunde ist verpflichtet, dem Osmium-Institut einen Zugriff Dritter auf den Liefergegenstand, etwa im Falle der Pfändung, sowie sonstige Beschädigungen, oder die Vernichtung, oder einen Besitzwechsel unverzüglich mitzuteilen.

Das Osmium-Institut ist berechtigt, bei vertragswidrigem Verhalten des Kunden, insbesondere bei Zahlungsverzug, oder einer der vorstehend genannten Verpflichtungen vom Vertrag zurückzutreten und den Liefergegenstand heraus zu verlangen.

 

§6  Gewährleistung

1. Der Kunde hat zunächst die Wahl, ob Nacherfüllung durch Nachbesserung oder Ersatzanlieferung erfolgen soll. Das Osmium-Institut ist jedoch berechtigt, die Art der gewählten Nacherfüllung zu verweigern, wenn sie nur mit unverhältnismäßigen Kosten möglich ist und die andere Art der Nacherfüllung ohne erhebliche Nachteile für den Verbraucher bleibt. Es besteht kein Anspruch auf eine definierte Kristallisationsstruktur. 

2. Schlägt die Nacherfüllung fehl, kann der Vertragspartner, unbeschadet weitergehender Schadenersatzan- sprüche, vom Vertrag zurücktreten, oder die Vergütung mindern. Bei nur geringfügigen Mängeln steht dem Kunden jedoch kein Rücktrittsrecht zu.

Wählt der Kunde und Vertragspartner nach gescheiterter Nacherfüllung den Rücktritt vom Vertrag, steht ihm daneben kein Schadenersatzanspruch wegen des Mangels zu. Wählt der Kunde oder Vertragspartner nach gescheiterter Nacherfüllung Schadenersatz, so verbleibt der Vertragsgegenstand, sofern zumutbar, bei ihm. 

Der Schadensersatz beschränkt sich auf die Differenz zwischen Kaufpreis und Wert der mangelfreien Sache.

3. Der Kunde hat dem Osmium-Institut innerhalb einer Frist von drei Tagen ab dem Zeitpunkt, zu dem der vertragswidrige Zustand des Liefergegenstands festgestellt wurde, über offensichtliche Mängel schriftlich zu unterrichten und Fotografien beizufügen, die den Mangel unter Beweis stellen. Dabei ist eine ungleichmäßige Kristallisierung nicht als Mangel zu sehen, da die Kristallisationsausprägung nicht beeinflusst werden kann.

Maßgeblich für die Wahrung der Frist ist der Zugang der Unterrichtung beim Osmium-Institut. Unterlässt der Kunde diese Unterrichtung, erlöschen die Gewährleistungsrechte zwei Monate nach Feststellung des Mangels. Dies gilt nicht bei Arglist seitens des Osmium-Instituts oder Händlers. Die Beweislast für den Zeitpunkt der Feststellung des Mangels trifft den Kunden.

 

§7  Haftungsbegrenzung, Schadenersatzansprüche

1. Schadens- und Aufwendungsersatzansprüche des Kunden, gleich aus welchem Rechtsgrund, insbesondere wegen Verletzung von Pflichten aus dem Schuldverhältnis und unerlaubter Handlung, sind ausgeschlossen.

2. Dies gilt nicht, soweit zwingend gehaftet wird, zum Beispiel nach dem Produkthaftungsgesetz, in Fällen des Vorsatzes, der groben Fahrlässigkeit oder wegen der Verletzung wesentlicher Vertragspflichten. Eine Änderung der Beweislast zum Nachteil des Vertragspartners ist mit den vorstehenden Regelungen nicht verbunden.

 

§8  Geldwäsche

1. Als internationales Handelsunternehmen werden strikt alle Gesetze zur Geldwäschebekämpfung und Bekämpfung der Terrorismusfinanzierung befolgt.

2. Vor Auslieferung der Ware wird die Identifikation des Vertragspartners und die plausible Darstellung der Mittelherkunft überprüft. Zudem wird der Status als „politisch exponierte Person“ abgefragt.

3. Zur Überprüfung der Identifikation eines Kunden, respektive Vertragspartners wird bei allen Käufen mit einem Wert ab 2.000 € die Übermittlung einer Kopie eines gültigen Personalausweises oder Reisepasses angefordert. 

Bei juristischen Personen wird neben dem Handelsregisterauszug oder dem Gewerbeschein die Identität des wirtschaftlichen Eigentümers der Unternehmung gemäß den geltenden Geldwäschebestimmungen benötigt. Sollten in anderen Ländern diese Bestimmungen abweichen, wird den Gesetzgebungen zur Geldwäsche im Zielland gefolgt.

4. Gemäß den geltenden Geldwäschebestimmungen muss die Mittelherkunft plausibel und lückenlos dargestellt werden.

5. Gemäß den geltenden Geldwäschebestimmungen wird der PEP Status (Politisch exponierte Person) abgefragt. 

6. Nach KSchG § 5 f (2) besteht kein Widerrufsrecht bei Fernabsatzverträgen über die Lieferung von Waren, deren Preis auf dem Finanzmarkt Schwankungen unterliegt, auf die der Unternehmer keinen Einfluss hat und die innerhalb der üblichen Widerrufsfrist auftreten können.  

7. Ausnahmen vom Widerrufsrecht: 

Das Widerrufsrecht besteht nicht bei den folgenden Verträgen (§ 312 g des BGB):

General terms and conditions for the use of the ip-based shop solution on the Internet

Published by: 
Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH

20.03.2020

This document sets out the general terms and conditions of business, payment and delivery for use in business transactions with customers. 

To simplify the following, the Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH (located in Germany, Baierbrunn) will be referred to as Osmium-Institute.

Preamble: 

The Osmium Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH has the task to regulate the international trade with crystalline osmium and to certify goods, to check and confirm their authenticity as well as to market newly crystallized osmium for the first time. 

In order to fulfil this purpose, the Osmium Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH maintains a database with all delivered osmium. 

The market introduction explanation available on the internet is part of these GTC.

§1 Scope of application

The following general terms and conditions apply to all deliveries, services and offers in the name and handling of the online internet shop of the Osmium-Institute in legal transactions with customers. Customers, respectively consumers in the sense of the terms and conditions are natural or legal persons who enter into a business relationship with the Osmium-Institute through trade via the shop website of the Osmium-Institute. Natural persons in Europe must have reached the age of 18 and be legally competent. In non-European countries, the age of legal capacity of the respective country applies. 

The customer acknowledges these conditions with the placing of the order, at the latest however with the acceptance of the service or delivery of the Osmium-Institute. Counter-confirmations of the customer with reference to the validity of his terms and conditions are hereby contradicted. Deviations from these terms and conditions are only effective if they are confirmed in writing by the Osmium-Institute. 

§2 Processing, Delivery, Transfer of Risk

1. The customer completes his binding order with the submission of the selected shopping cart to the Osmium Institute via the internet on the website www.buy-osmium.com or a partner site, which is connected to the merchandise management system of buy-osmium.com. In this context, every purchaser who uses the internet platform is a customer. Thus, also trade partners with discounted purchase conditions in the sense of these GTC are customers. 

2. The goods are separated into two clusters:

2a Goods which belong to a group of goods such as Osmium Diamonds or Osmium Disks and can be ordered directly according to the weight indicated. In this case each piece is unique with fixed dimensions and fixed weight. Each piece is indicated with its own price. For each type of good a picture is shown as a representative. The original certification picture can be seen after purchase on www.osmium-identification-code.com, if the corresponding osmium identification code is entered.

2b Packaged goods, which are priced in EUR or USD according to their current order value. Package goods of this type contain arbitrary pieces of osmium depending on the stock in the warehouse of the Osmium-Institute. The ordered mass or the value of the goods is set during the compilation on the day of delivery or the day of check-out. 

The delivered quantity of goods will always exceed this value on delivery without any surcharge. The excess delivery quantity is shown as a discount. Partners with their own internet shop can only sell pieces or parcels they have purchased themselves, as the pieces in the parcel itself are still unspecified at the time of sale and therefore do not have to be optioned. Goods that have already been purchased and paid for by a partner can also be offered as specified in the partner`s own shop. 

3. In the ordering process, the customer selects the desired products, confirms the selected goods in the payment process and receives a pro forma invoice from the Osmium-Institute with a provisional invoice number by e-mail. The pro forma invoice is sent electronically immediately during the ordering process. 

4. The Osmium-Institute is solely responsible for choosing the shipping service. The customer shall cover the domestic shipping costs. They are already shown in the pro forma invoice. In exceptional cases, the shipper will take over insurance and shipping costs, but there is no claim to regularity due to one-time execution.

5. Orders and their processing are guaranteed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The delivery takes place exclusively on weekdays.

6. The customer transfers the confirmed purchase price without deductions to the bank account of the Osmium-Institute within 3 banking days. The transfer will be made in Euro.

7. After receipt of the money, the customer will receive a confirmation of receipt from the Osmium-Institute, the original invoice with final and binding invoice number. The customer receives information about the expected shipping date. If the total amount has not yet been paid in full, the goods will not be delivered until payment has been made in full. 

8. Delivery times depend on the stock of stock goods and the degree of complexity of new shapes. However, the maximum delivery time is three months. It can be achieved if the crystallization cycle is extended due to the type of product. It can only be influenced to a limited extent. Goods available at the institute are shipped within three working days at the latest. 

If delivery times exceed the period of three months, the customer will be informed of the delivery time at the end of this period and will also receive a right of withdrawal.

9. As soon as the goods are on their way, the customer receives a shipping confirmation for the ordered goods by e-mail with a code to track the goods. In the special case of direct delivery by courier, a date is announced or agreed on with the customer on which the goods are delivered.

The agreement of binding delivery dates must be made in writing. Should the delivery of the ordered goods be delayed due to circumstances beyond the customer`s control, the customer shall receive written information.

The delivery is carried out by a logistics company from Monday to Friday in Germany, Austria or in other European countries. The delivery time for goods in stock is usually no more than 10 working days after receipt of payment. In non-European countries the delivery can increase depending on the import regulations, the customs clearance or the dispatch methods of the shipper. This particularly affects shipping and rail transport. 

10. The total value of the respective shipment is insured. Flat handling charges apply per order, including insured shipping, according to the shipping table in the shop.

The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the delivery item in the event of shipment shall only pass to the customer upon handover. It shall be equivalent to the handover if the customer is in default of acceptance.

In case of loss of the goods or deterioration of the delivery condition, the Osmium-Institute has the right of rectification after return of the damaged goods. The thereby extended delivery time is accepted by the customer.

All goods leave the Osmium Institute after a thorough quality check in the standard shipping and presentation packaging provided for this purpose. The quality check of the goods is carried out again in a second step at the time of packaging and is documented for the customer in the package and electronically. 

The delivery includes a USB stick with data on osmium, a ballpoint pen, a brochure, a button and a lamp, which the customer receives free of charge. These items serve to improve the presentation of the osmium

§3 Offer, Prices and Execution of Contract

Offer, Prices and Execution of Contract

1. The offers of the Osmium-Institute are subject to confirmation and non-binding. Contracts are not concluded until payment has been made to the Osmium-Institute. The Osmium-Institute reserves the right not to carry out orders which have been placed by the customer due to a technical defect of the shop system.

2. The prices in Euro valid on the day and at the time of the conclusion of the contract plus the respective statutory value added tax shall be deemed to have been agreed. The prices from the daily published osmium fixings, which are announced on the website www.osmium-preis.de, apply. The site is operated by the Osmium-Institute.

3. There is no right of revocation in distance contracts for the delivery of goods whose price is subject to fluctuations on the financial market, over which the supplier has no influence and which may occur within the usual revocation period.

4. If the customer places an order electronically, the Osmium-Institute will immediately confirm receipt thereof. The confirmation of receipt does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order. 

§4 Terms of Payment, Default, Counterclaims, Delivery Quantity

1. The invoice amount is due and payable immediately after receipt of the invoice without deductions. If the customer does not pay within three value dates from the due date, he will be in default without a reminder. The customer must pay interest on the debt at a rate of 6% above the base rate during the default period.

2. Payments shall only be deemed to have been made when the Osmium-Institute can dispose of the amount on the bank account of the Osmium-Institute without loss or deduction.

3. The exercise of a right of retention against the payment by the customer is excluded, as far as the right of retention is not based on the same contractual relationship. The customer is only entitled to an offset right in the event that a counterclaim is legally established, undisputed or recognized by the Osmium-Institute.

4. If a product with a fixed weight was stated in the shop and it is a defined piece, exactly this offered piece will be delivered. 

5. If a product with the minimum weight of a product class is offered, the Osmium-Institute is entitled to select a piece which has a higher weight. In this case, the Osmium-Institute may not demand a differential payment for the excess quantity. 

6. In the special case that sub-quantities of a desired product group are to be delivered, the Osmium-Institute can, in the case of insufficient stock of precisely assignable weights, also deliver with up to 10% deviation of the weight downwards, but is obliged to replenish the deviation in the form of Osmium Stars, Osmium Starrows or Osmium Diamonds. The sales price of the processed diamonds and stars applies even if the mass of the osmium delivered then deviates downwards, as the products mentioned entail production costs from cutting. 

§5 Retention of ownership

1. All delivered goods remain in the ownership of the Osmium-Institute or the selling retailer until the complete payment of the fee and all existing claims from the business relationship with the customer. 

The customer is obliged to inform the Osmium-Institute immediately of any access of third parties to the delivery item, e.g. in case of seizure, as well as any other damage, destruction or change of ownership.

The Osmium-Institute is entitled to withdraw from the contract and to demand the return of the delivery item in case of breach of contract by the customer, in particular in case of default of payment, or one of the aforementioned obligations.

§6 Warranty

1 The customer shall initially have the choice of whether subsequent performance is to take the form of rectification or replacement delivery. However, the Osmium-Institute is entitled to refuse the type of supplementary performance chosen if it is only possible with disproportionate costs and the other type of supplementary performance remains without considerable disadvantages for the consumer. There is no claim to a defined crystallization structure. 

2. If the supplementary performance fails, the contractual partner may - without prejudice to further claims for damages - withdraw from the contract or reduce the remuneration. In the case of only minor defects, however, the customer shall not be entitled to withdraw from the contract.

If the customer and contractual partner choose to withdraw from the contract after failed subsequent performance, he shall not be entitled to any additional claim for damages due to the defect. If the customer or contractual partner chooses compensation for damages after failed subsequent performance, the subject matter of the contract shall, if reasonable, remain with him. 

Compensation is limited to the difference between the purchase price and the value of the defect-free item.

3. The customer has to inform the Osmium-Institute in writing about obvious defects within a period of three days from the point in time at which the condition of the delivery item contrary to the contract was determined and to attach photographs which prove the defect. In this case an uneven crystallization is not to be seen as a deficiency, since the characteristic of crystallization cannot be influenced.

The receipt of the information by the Osmium-Institute is decisive for compliance with the deadline. If the customer fails to provide this information, the warranty rights expire two months after the defect has been discovered. This does not apply in case of fraudulent intent on the part of the Osmium-Institute or the retailer. The burden of proof for the time of the discovery of the defect lies with the customer.

§7 Limitation of liability, claims for damages

Claims for damages and compensation for expenses of the customer, irrespective of the legal basis, in particular due to breach of duties arising from the contractual obligation and unlawful acts, are excluded.

This shall not apply in the case of mandatory liability, e.g. under the Product Liability Act, in the case of intent, gross negligence or breach of fundamental contractual obligations. A change in the burden of proof to the detriment of the contractual partner is not associated with the above provisions.

§8 Money laundering

1. As an international trading company, we strictly comply with all anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing laws.

2. Prior to the delivery of goods, we check the identity of the contractual partner and the plausible representation of the source of funds. Furthermore, we check the PEP status. (politically exposed person).

3. In order to verify the identification of a customer or contractual partner, a copy of a valid identity card or passport (in the case of legal entities, the identity of the beneficial owner) is required for all purchases with a value of €2,000 or more in accordance with the applicable money laundering regulations.

4. In accordance with the applicable money laundering regulations, the source of funds must be presented in a plausible and complete manner.

5. The PEP status (politically exposed person) is queried in accordance with the applicable money laundering provisions. 

6. According to KSchG § 5 f (2), there is no right of withdrawal for distance contracts for the delivery of goods, the price of which is subject to fluctuations on the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence and which can occur within the usual withdrawal period.

7. Exceptions to the right of withdrawal: 

The right of withdrawal does not exist for the following contracts (§ 312 g of BGB):          

a) for the delivery of goods which are not prefabricated. An individual selection or purpose determined by the consumer is decisive for their manufacture, or they are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer,                                              

b) contracts for the delivery of goods or the provision of services, including financial services, the price of which depends on fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence and which can occur within the withdrawal period, in particular services in connection with stocks, with shares in outstanding investment funds according to § 1 paragraph 4 of the German Investment Code and with other tradable securities, foreign currencies, derivatives or money market instruments.

§9 Data protection

1. In accordance with the data protection law, attention is drawn to the fact that necessary data in the context of business dealings is processed and stored by means of EDP. Customer data will not be passed on by the Osmium-Institute and cannot be viewed by anyone. It is used exclusively for the handling of the order, own marketing purposes by newsletter and/or for offers for the repurchase of goods.

§10 Final clauses

1 The place of fulfilment shall be the registered office of the Osmium-Institute. The place of jurisdiction is Munich. German law applies. Also, in the case of deliveries abroad, German law shall apply exclusively.

2 Should one of these provisions be invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the other provisions. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a provision which corresponds to the intent of the agreement.

Monopoly disclosure of crystalline osmium 

Osmium is a precious metal and is traded internationally. It occurs in platinum mines associated with platinum. Osmium is often offered there as a so-called compound, for example as “Osmium Tetroxide”. Osmium is metallurgically separated from other metals and is only pure enough to be used after a few processing steps. The pure form of osmium is not poured into ingots, as is usual with other precious metals, but bottled. At this stage, it is often referred to as “osmium sponge.” Osmium sponge is the raw form of osmium, which is also used for crystallization. The crystallization process is the process of rearranging atoms into a new crystal structure. With the change of the crystal structure, the chemical and physical properties also change. 

This monopoly disclosure relates solely to crystalline osmium. 

The process of crystallization is not generally known in the scientific community and is not available to other companies. Crystalline osmium is therefore marketed exclusively by the German Osmium Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH. Osmium in its crystalline form is only available for the German Osmium-Institute mentioned above from a single source in Switzerland. The complex process of crystallizing osmium is currently mastered only by the supplier in Switzerland. 

The German Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH has concluded an exclusive agreement with the supplier in Switzerland without any time limit. The purpose of the agreement is a regulated introduction into the market via the German Institute, which has been exclusively commissioned with this task by the Swiss company. The employees of the institute have the obligation to act according to strict scientific principles and to provide each piece of osmium with a certificate of authenticity. 

In addition, the Osmium-Institute Germany maintains a database in which high-resolution scans of every osmium piece in circulation are stored. The purpose of the database is to compare the crystal structure of a real piece of osmium with its certification and high-resolution scan. Every owner of osmium has the right to retrieve data about their osmium from this database at any time if they identify themselves as the owner of the osmium. Proof is provided by submitting or entering the Osmium Identification Code, which is provided with each piece of Osmium. The Osmium Identification Code is an eight-digit alphanumeric code. 

The Osmium Institute’s monopoly is created by both its acting as the sole official authority for distribution of crystallized osmium as well as its exclusivity agreement with the laboratory in Switzerland wherefrom crystallized osmium is produced. 

Pricing, which takes place in Switzerland, is also linked to the monopoly. Osmium is currently not traded through a trading system. The price is not represented by a market rate. However, the supply of raw osmium and the demand for crystalline osmium have a significant influence on the price. The price is formed and published each day taking into account the following essential factors: 

Supply of raw osmium, supply of crystalline osmium offcuts for re-distillation, option contracts for raw osmium, current stock level of raw osmium, number of crystallization ovens, electricity price, personnel costs, laboratory safety costs, build-up of reserves, certification and packaging costs, cut prices for crystalline osmium, demand for crystalline osmium, current sales of crystalline osmium and several minor weighted factors. The most important aspect of daily pricing is the output rate. The Market Introduction Overview 

output rate is the amount of osmium that can be used after growing the crystals and does not have to be returned to the process. The resulting waste of unusable crystals must be re-distilled several times and recrystallized with great technical and financial effort. 

Osmium Institutes in other countries of the world have the task to introduce osmium to the local market and to certify the authenticity of pieces in circulation. 

Retail 

The structure of the market introduction enables intermediary business, retail trade or wholesale trade. When onboarding, a partner first becomes a tipster and then, if desired, a retailer. After completing the onboarding process, submitting an excerpt from the commercial register and passing the examination, each partner is entitled to a general purchase discount of 6.0% for their own requirements and the purchase of goods for the purpose of resale. 

Every retailer buys their merchandise at a discount from their wholesaler, and if they are not listed under a wholesaler, they buy it from their State Institute Partner and earn a margin on the trade discount. They dispatch the goods themselves. Within the context of trading, it is the partner who invoices the end customer according to the retail prices published in the network. 

Depending on the sales success of the partner, this discount can be increased by up to 5.0% with the Osi model (see below). The discounts on the purchase price depend each month on the number of Osis collected in the previous months. Accordingly, the maximum achievable purchase discount is 11.0%. Once this limit has been reached three times in a row, the partner is obliged to purchase directly from their national institute partner in order not to burden the trader above them with this task. Market Introduction Overview

Wholesale Partners 

Jewelers and top-selling partners can apply for wholesale partner status at their local institute partner. It is awarded and there is no entitlement to the wholesale partnership. 

The difference between a retail seller and a wholesale partner is that the wholesale partner is credited with 10,000 Osis per month without having to meet any additional requirements. A Partner can achieve wholesale partner status only on request from the country's State Institute Partner as a jeweler or provided that retail sales figures are strong and their collected Osis of the previous month allow it. 

The wholesale Partner therefore receives a 6.0 percent fixed discount plus the maximum variable discount of 5.0 percent based on Osis. Accordingly, the wholesale Partner receives the highest possible discount of 11.0 percent. 

In the event of a purchase by a retailer from a wholesale partner, the wholesale partner shall pass on to the retailer the rebate to which the retailer is entitled. Such a purchase does not entitle the wholesale partner to an increased discount. If a retailer also achieves wholesale partner status through a turnover and appointment, the superior partner only earns commission on the intermediate commission described in the intermediate regulation. However, they also no longer have an obligation and permission to forward goods to the former retailer, as these are now purchased directly from and shipped through the responsible State Institute Partner. 

Mediation 

If retailers or wholesale partners carry out an intermediation whose associated purchase is handled by a country's institute partner, they receive their discount claim in the same amount in the month following each transaction, distributed as commission. The partner has the choice to receive the payment in the form of money or osmium. The distribution of osmium is processed like a purchase and is counted as an invoice for the credit from the commission settlement. 

The Osmium Sales Server of the German Osmium Institute lists all transactions and commissions of each partner and shows their detailed and current earnings that are due for distribution. New partners, customers and potential customers are also reserved in the customer database for the retailer before a sale. The reservation is valid for six months, based on the date of registration of the customer. If no purchase is made, the reservation expires, and any other partner has access to the customer address. The reservation can be extended by the German Osmium-Institute upon request. Market Introduction Overview 

The Osi model 

The Osi model is a points model and used to reward sales performance of retail sellers and wholesale partners by increasing the discount for purchases of own personal use, retail sales and wholesales. 

In addition, it includes an entitlement to further payout claims from a subordinate level in the sale. 

The model is described in a separate document. 

Further information 

For outstanding commitment or the recruitment of plenty of new partners, the assigned country State-Institute Partner may give consideration to further incentives including travel, invitations to events, support of Partners’ events, company cars or other benefits. These incentives may be subject to change and will be displayed on www.osmium-sales.com, if available. 

Osmium trainers are allowed to conduct events independently and also train independently. This activity is remunerated according to the training guidelines, which can be found in the sales brochure.

Monopoly disclosure of crystalline osmium

This monopoly disclosure relates solely to crystalline osmium. 

The process of crystallization is not generally known in the scientific community and is not available to other companies. Crystalline osmium is therefore marketed exclusively by the German Osmium Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH. Osmium in its crystalline form is only available for the German Osmium-Institute mentioned above from a single source in Switzerland. The complex process of crystallizing osmium is currently mastered only by the supplier in Switzerland.

The purpose of the agreement is a regulated introduction into the market via the German Institute, which has been exclusively commissioned with this task by the Swiss company. The employees of the institute have the obligation to act according to strict scientific principles and to provide each piece of osmium with a certificate of authenticity. 

In addition, the Osmium-Institute Germany maintains a database in which high-resolution scans of every osmium piece in circulation are stored. The purpose of the database is to compare the crystal structure of a real piece of osmium with its certification and high-resolution scan. Every owner of osmium has the right to retrieve data about their osmium from this database at any time if they identify themselves as the owner of the osmium. Proof is provided by submitting or entering the Osmium Identification Code, which is provided with each piece of Osmium. The Osmium Identification Code is an eight-digit alphanumeric code. 

The Osmium Institute’s monopoly is created by both its acting as the sole official authority for distribution of crystallized osmium as well as its exclusivity agreement with the laboratory in Switzerland wherefrom crystallized osmium is produced. 

Pricing, which takes place in Switzerland, is also linked to the monopoly. Osmium is currently not traded through a trading system. The price is not represented by a market rate. However, the supply Tipster Regulation of raw osmium and the demand for crystalline osmium have a significant influence on the price. The price is formed and published each day taking into account the following essential factors: 

Supply of raw osmium, supply of crystalline osmium offcuts for re-distillation, option contracts for raw osmium, current stock level of raw osmium, number of crystallization ovens, electricity price, personnel costs, laboratory safety costs, build-up of reserves, certification and packaging costs, cut prices for crystalline osmium, demand for crystalline osmium, current sales of crystalline osmium and several minor weighted factors. 

The most important aspect of daily pricing is the output rate. The output rate is the amount of osmium that can be used after growing the crystals and does not have to be returned to the process. The resulting waste of unusable crystals must be re-distilled several times and recrystallized with great technical and financial effort. Osmium Institutes in other countries of the world have the task to introduce osmium to the local market and to certify the authenticity of pieces in circulation. 

Referrer code: 

The referrer code is used for two purposes. 

1.) The online trading platform allocates the commissions to the affiliate whose referrer code was entered during a purchase by a customer. It also grants commissions the affiliates in levels above them, who also profit from the transaction through the referral code. 

2.) Referrer Codes are necessary to organize the market structure between partners and buyers and to create definite assignments in the structure. Customer movements are also tracked during the customer's decision-making process and evaluated at the Osmium Institute to prevent customer phishing, to control allocations, and if necessary, rewrite allocations. Osmium Institutes are committed to the principle of "acting in good faith". 

Partner B needs the Referrer Code of an existing Partner A for their own initial registration in the onboarding process. Partner A typically passes their code on to Partner B in order to integrate this partner in the growing structure among themselves. In the onboarding process, Partner B defines their own unique Referrer Code to acquire their own partners. After successful completion of the onboarding process, Partner B is assigned under Partner A. 

The structure that is created in this way is floating. It represents a payment assignment that extends over two levels above the transaction level. It does not contain any higher-level hierarchy or instruction commitment. The number of levels is limited to two in order to clearly avoid classification as multilevel marketing. 

Each partner should play an active role in building the tipster structure and finding new partners for its growth. This process is documented in the online sales tool in order to reserve new partners who are not yet involved. The online sales tool can be accessed via www.buy-osmium.com and www.osmium-sales.com. The reservation will last for six months. After the end of this time period, the new partner is no longer bound, unless they have been registered and onboarded or have signed a contract. Tipster Regulation 

Mediation of sales by tipsters and commissions 

After completion of the onboarding process, each partner is entitled to a general purchase discount of 6.0% for their own purchases. 

In the brokerage business, the goods are purchased via a trading partner, the online platform of a trading partner, the online shop www.buy-osmium.com using the referrer code, a QR code or a deep link. The sale is handled by the State Institute Partner or via a wholesale partner. For the mediation of a direct sale or a sale through a retail partner, the referrer is entitled to a commission based on the respective turnover of a customer. 

Level model for the distribution of commission: 

The partner whose referrer code was provided by the end customer during the purchase will receive a commission. The commission is always 6.0%. This level in the flowing model, where a purchase is made and a referrer code is assigned by a real purchase, is called transaction level (level 0). 

In two levels above the transaction level, those referrers who have built up the corresponding structure of affiliates in direct succession to each other earn money on each transaction. 

The broker in the transaction level (level 0) receives 6.0% commission, regardless of whether they made the purchase for their own purposes or whether a customer made a purchase using their referrer code. They themselves must also enter their own referrer code when making a purchase for their own purposes, as they pay 100% of the end customer price and then receive a 6.0% rebate as a referrer commission on their own purchase. 

Intermediaries who do not become retail or wholesale partners are entitled to payout levels in the same way under the Osi model as described further in a separate document. This means tipsters as well as trading partners can earn up to 11% payout levels based on previous months’ sales through the Osi model. However his 11% discount remains impermanent and dependent on prior monthly sales. 

The level directly above the transaction level (level 0) is called level 1. On this level, 3.0% commission is distributed. Level 2 receives 2.0%. 

All commissions at each level are based on a percentage of the net retail selling price actually received to the account of the retailer or distributor. All commissions are paid out in the month following each transaction. The partner has the choice of receiving the payout in the form of cash or osmium. The commission claim does not expire. In the case of payment in the form of osmium, there is also the entitlement to the transaction level discount. 

The Osmium Sales Server, operated by the Osmium-Institute Germany, lists all transactions and commissions of each affiliate and shows detailed and up-to-date information about their earnings which are due for payout. 

The Osi Model 

The Osi model is a points model and gives tipsters with good referral performance the opportunity to increase the purchase discount for personal use, retail, and wholesale. Tipster Regulation 

In addition, it regulates an increased commission payout in the settlement month in relation to sales in the previous month. 

The model is described in a separate document. 

Further information 

For outstanding commitment or the recruitment of plenty of new partners, the assigned country State Institute Partner may give consideration to further incentives including travel, invitations to events, support of Partners’ events, company cars or other benefits or goods. These incentives may be subject to change and will be displayed on www.osmium-sales.com, if available.

The Osi model

The Osi model is a points model and gives retailers and wholesalers with good sales performance the opportunity to increase the purchase discount for own use, retail and wholesale. 

However, the Osi account does not represent an account and Osis are not a currency. It is an awarding of points in the reward model, which, from its proximity to the phonetics of the term Osmium, has been named Osi. 

At the beginning of a calendar month, each partner has accumulated a certain number of Osis. They are debited to activate discount levels from the partner's Osi account at the beginning of each month. 

Maximum this automatic debit by the billing system is 10,000 Osis. It represents the maximum discount of 5.0% in that month. If less than 10,000 Osis are collected, they will be debited in full. In this case, the discount results from a linear scale division into ten levels. 

For every 1,000 Osis, there is an additional 0.5% discount. For 3,000 Osis, for example, the discount is 1.5%. If there are more than 10,000 Osis or if there is a surplus within a discount level, all remaining Osis are carried forward to the following month and are not lost. 

The partner receives Osis registered for the following services: 

1 Osi for every 1,- Euro turnover for purchases in the transaction level (level 0) 

1 Osi for every 10,- Euro team turnover in level U1 (one level below level 0) 

1 Osi for every 100,- Euro team turnover in the levels U2 to U4 below the transaction level 

100 Osis for each new participant in events 

200 Osis for recruiting a new trading partner or distributor 

1.000 Osis For taking and passing the Certified Osmium Partner exam yourself 

5.000 Osis For distributors or trading partners who complete the Osmium Train the Trainer program 

In the case of the following special circumstances or as a bonus, the Osmium Institute may also award Osis, which are additionally credited: 

• 500 Osis per sick day 
• 2.000 Osis on birthday 
• 10.000 Osis for the birth of a child 

Such voluntary additional osis can also be entered as a fixed monthly allocation: 

• For the special status as a jeweler 10.000 Osis per month are added
• For the operation of a retail store 10,000 Osis per month will be added
• For the employment of a full-time employee 3.000 Osis per month are added
• For the status of wholesale partner 10.000 Osis per month will be added. 

There is no entitlement to additional Osis, even if Osis have been awarded by an Osmium Institute in a similar case.

2. Monopoly disclosure regarding crystalline osmium 

2.1. Osmium as precious metal 

Osmium is a precious metal and is traded internationally. It occurs in platinum mines associated with platinum. In these mines, osmium Kommentiert [JS1]: Auch auf deutsch anpassen!! is often offered as a so-called compound, for example as osmium tetroxide. Osmium is separated metallurgically from other metals and is only pure enough to be used after several processing steps. The pure form of osmium is not poured into ingots, as is common with other precious metals, but filled into bottles. At this stage it is referred to as the so-called osmium sponge. Osmium sponge is the raw form of osmium, which is also used for crystallization. The crystallization process is the process of rearranging atoms in the crystal to produce a new crystal structure. With the change of the crystal structure, the chemical and physical properties also change. 

2.2. Crystalline Osmium 

This monopoly disclosure refers solely to crystalline osmium. 

2.3. Crystallization of osmium 

The process of crystallization is not generally known in the scientific community and is currently not available to other companies. Crystalline osmium is therefore exclusively introduced into the market by the Osmium-Institute Germany. Osmium in its crystalline form is only available to the Osmium-Institute Germany from a single source in Switzerland.

2.4 The agreement of exclusivity 

The Osmium-Institute Germany has concluded an exclusive agreement with the supplier in Switzerland without any restriction on duration. The purpose of the agreement is a regulated market introduction via the Osmium Institute-Germany, which was exclusively commissioned with this task by the Swiss company. The employees of the institute are obliged to act according to strict scientific principles and to provide each piece of osmium with a certificate of authenticity. 

2.5. The Database 

In addition, the Osmium-Institute Germany maintains a database in which the high-resolution scans of the Osmium pieces in circulation can be queried internationally. The purpose of the database is to compare the crystal structure of a real osmium piece with its scan from certification. Every owner of osmium has the right to retrieve data about his osmium from this database at any time if he or she identifies himself as the owner of the osmium. Proof is provided by submitting or entering the Osmium Identification Code, which is supplied with each piece of Osmium. The Osmium Identification Code is an eight-digit letter and number code. 

2.6. The Monopoly 

The Osmium-Institute Germany's sole market introduction of osmium results in a monopoly which is linked to the monopoly for crystallization, i.e. the process of changing the crystal structure of osmium. 

3. Pricing 

3.1. No trading in a trading system 

Pricing, which takes place in Switzerland, is also linked to the monopoly. Osmium is currently not traded through a trading system. The price is not represented by a market rate. However, the supply of raw osmium and the demand for crystalline osmium have a significant influence on the price. 

3.2. Price transparency 

The price is formed and published each day taking into account the following essential aspects: 

Supply of raw osmium, supply of crystalline osmium offcuts for redistillation, option contracts for raw osmium, current stock level of raw osmium, number of crystallization furnaces running, electricity price, personnel costs, laboratory safety costs, reserve building, certification and packaging costs, cutting prices for crystalline osmium, demand for crystalline osmium, current sales of crystalline osmium and several minor weighted factors. 

3.3. Harvest rate as an aspect of pricing 

The most important aspect of daily pricing is the harvest rate. The harvest rate is the amount of osmium that can be used after the crystals have been grown and does not have to be returned to the process. The resulting waste of unusable crystals has to be distilled several times and recrystallized with high technical and monetary effort.

4. The contracting parties 

4.1. The Osmium-Institute Germany 

The Osmium-Institute is a monopoly company in the legal form of a German limited liability company entrusted with the market introduction and certification of crystalline osmium. The Osmium-Institute Germany is building a worldwide structure, which establishes an Osmium-Institute in as many countries of the world as possible, with subordinate national trading partners as wholesale and retail partners as well as tipsters. 

It trains and certifies these business partners and also certifies crystalline osmium worldwide and sends it to the respective national institutes. In addition, the Osmium-Institute Germany maintains the corresponding database in which all pieces of crystalline osmium placed on the market by the Osmium-Institute Germany are certified and these certificates are stored through a code, the OIC. 

4.2. The retailer 

The retailer is a legal or private person, a partnership or a similar association of several persons. A retailer can only be someone who has successfully completed the onboarding process, including appropriate training and passed the examination, with explicit acknowledgement of the conditions set by the Osmium Institute Germany. The retailer is neither an agent nor an employee of the Osmium-Institute Germany. He acts in his own name and for his own account towards the customers. 

4.3. The wholesaler 

Legal or private person or association of persons or a similar association of several persons who sell crystalline osmium in their own name and for their own account and have been approved as wholesalers by the Osmium-Institute Germany or the responsible state institute. 

The prerequisite for being classified as a wholesaler in Germany is, on the one hand, an application to the Osmium-Institute Germany and, in all other countries, an application to the relevant national institute if an osmium institute has already been established. The application can be made by any retailer who fulfils the corresponding requirements in the form of a minimum turnover within a certain period of time specified by the Osmium-Institute Germany. 

The Osmium-Institute Germany and, after consultation with the Osmium-Institute Germany, the respective national institutes are free to reject applications without giving reasons. There is no claim to classification as a wholesaler. Only those who have successfully completed the onboarding process, including the appropriate training and passed the examination with explicit acknowledgement of the conditions set by the Osmium-Institute Germany can be a wholesaler. 

5. Rights and obligations of the trading partner 

5.1. Partner status 

The trading partner must be approved by the institution as a Contractual Partner. This contract becomes legally effective only after successfully passing the examination. For this reason, admission as a Contractual Partner is also subject to successfully passing the examination. 

5.2. Possible dual function 

As a partner, the retailer or wholesaler can also be a tipster. If the retail or wholesale partner is also a tipster, his claims arising from his activity as a tipster shall be based exclusively on the retail or wholesale partner agreement.

5.3. Freedom from instructions 

The wholesaler or retailer is not bound by instructions. An exception is the binding of prices to the respective prices of the Internet site www.osmium-preis.de. Should the retailer modify prices in the sale arbitrarily, he may lose his status without giving further reasons. In this case he will no longer be supplied and loses the right to use documents of the Osmium-Institute. In addition, the Osmium-Institute may impose a penalty in the amount of the price differences granted. 

5.4. No territorial protection and no right of representation 

The wholesaler or retailer has neither territorial protection nor a right of representation. He may not make or accept any declaration with effect for or against the Osmium-Institute Germany and may not act on behalf of the Osmium-Institute Germany or any country institute. 

5.5. Task of the wholesaler or retailer 

The Contractual Partner’s task is to sell crystalline osmium on his own behalf and for his own account. 

This is done by the Contractual Partner either naming potential new partners for the Osmium-Institute Germany or potential end customers with their explicit consent in compliance with data protection regulations in a way that enables the Osmium-Institute Germany to either carry out an onboarding process (when naming potential partners) or to sell crystalline osmium to end customers. In his function as retailer or wholesaler, the Contractual Partner acquires crystalline osmium from his relevant state osmium institute for the purpose of resale to retailers or end customers. 

5.6. List of records 

The Contractual Partner must keep a list of his sales of crystalline osmium and, at the request of the Osmium-Institute Germany, must disclose this list to the Osmium-Institute Germany immediately, completely and free of charge at any time. 

5.7. Examinations 

Failure to provide evidence of participation in and passing the main examination, as well as any subsequent refresher examination to expand the expertise required to perform the tasks, will result in the forfeiture of any commissions six months after the invitation to the examination. No refund is available after retaking an examination. However, the commission models will be reinstated upon passing all examinations. Failure to comply with the refresher examination may, at the discretion of the Osmium Institute, lead to exclusion from the sales network. In the event of disputes, the Osmium World Council OWC GmbH will be the arbitration body. 

6. Discounts of the wholesaler or retailer 

6.1. Successful onboarding process 

If the Osmium-Institute Germany carries out an onboarding process for a new partner, this onboarding process must be successfully completed by the new partner. Then this new partner in turn must bring crystalline osmium into circulation in order to trigger a commission claim. 

6.2. Claim for commission arises 

If the Contractual Partner names an end customer abroad, a commission claim based on the net price paid by the end customer to the Osmium-Institute Germany will only be generated if this end customer buys, acquires and pays for crystalline osmium. This applies both to the brokerage of a direct sale and to the brokerage of a sale by a trading partner.

6.3. Information obligation 

The Osmium-Institute Germany will inform the Contractual Partner of the business transactions that have come about according to section 6.1. or 6.2.

7. Calculation, due date and payment of commission 

7.1. Level 0 

The tipster receives a one-time commission of 6% on the net final sale price on all purchases made by and for himself from the Osmium-Institute Germany (level 0).

7.3. Level 2 

If the tipster provides evidence that leads to the successful onboarding of a new tipster at the Osmium-Institute Germany and this new tipster then buys crystalline osmium for his own use or this new tipster provides evidence that leads to the successful onboarding of a new partner at the Osmium-Institute Germany and this new partner then successfully sells crystalline osmium, the tipster then receives a commission of 2% on the net retail price from these transactions (Level 2). 

7.4. Non-cash payment 

The commission will be calculated according to the above rules by the Osmium-Institute Germany, taking into account the commission levels and in addition the respective valid legal sales tax, provided that the Contractual Partner as a tipster has not proved to the Osmium-Institute Germany in a qualified manner that he is not subject to sales tax or exempt from sales tax, to a bank account named and owned by the tipster. There will be no cash payment of commissions. The commission is due in the month following a transaction. 

7.5. Listing 

The commissions due for payment from each partner are listed - in compliance with data protection regulations - on the basis of the sales made on the Osmium Sales Server of the Osmium-Institute Germany.

8. Marketing and advertising

Agreement 

between 

Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH, legally represented by the 

GM Florian Hauner, Kemmelallee 6, 82418 Murnau am Staffelsee 

hereinafter referred to as the "Osmium-Institute Germany” 

and 

the tipster 

__________________________________________________ 

hereinafter referred to as „tipster“ 

Preamble 

The Osmium-Institute Germany is the leading international organization entrusted with the market introduction and certification of crystalline osmium. The purpose of this agreement is to bring crystalline osmium into circulation worldwide, whereby the tipster actively supports this activity. The tipster is legally, commercially, contractually and otherwise completely independent of the Osmium-Institute Germany and the Osmium State Institutes of other countries. 

1. General Information 

The Osmium-Institute Germany uses a number of specific terms in its interaction with its contractual partners, which are defined below and used in this agreement. 

1.1. Osmium-Institute Germany 

Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH, is the leading international organisation responsible for the market introduction and certification of crystalline osmium. 

The Osmium-Institute Germany prepares and publishes all regulations for the trade and handling of crystalline osmium. 

1.2. Onboarding 

Process for implementing new partners via an internet tool. 

1.3. Onboarding process 

The onboarding process takes place when a tipster first enters his personal data into the database on the "online trading platform" at www.osmium-onboarding.com and individually selects his own referrer code. Afterwards, the user takes part in the training course and then takes the exam. The natural or legal person or association of persons who have successfully completed these steps will receive a certificate from the Osmium-Institute Germany after passing the examination and will thus be listed as a partner. After the first registration, the tipster can also obtain a different status and become a trader. 

1.4. Online sales tool 

Database in which a national wholesale partner, a national Osmium-Institute, tipsters, retailers or wholesalers have entered their prospective customers and partners to ensure that if this prospective customer makes a purchase, this will be taken into account when calculating their commission. If this prospective customer does not make a purchase within six months of the data being entered into this database, each partner may thereafter endeavor to make or broker a purchase with this customer. The tipster, retailer or wholesaler can extend this period, provided the Osmium-Institute Germany agrees to this. 

1.5. Osmium 

Certified crystalline osmium. Element with atomic number 76 in the natural isotope mixture and a purity of over 99.9995 percent. 

1.6. Partner 

Legal or private persons or associations of persons or a similar association of several persons who have successfully completed the onboarding process of the Osmium-Institute Germany, including tipsters. 

1.7. Gram price 

The price per gram is the pure material price per gram of crystallized osmium, indicated in Swiss francs. On all internet pages that display the gram price, the daily updated prices in USD and EUR are also shown. However, the basis for calculating the price in Switzerland is always the national currency, the Swiss franc. 

1.8. End customer price / retail price 

The retail sales price is indicated in the buyer's local currency in the online shop (www.buy-osmium.com). The retail price is the sum of the gram price and the individual processing costs for each piece of osmium and is stated in the online shop of the Osmium-Institute Germany or an online shop of a Wholesale Partner. 

1.9. Discount 

The difference between the reduced price at which a partner can buy osmium and the retail price. The discount is granted to the partner according to their status and is between 6 and 11 %. 

1.10 Tipster 

Legal or private persons or association of persons or a similar association of several persons whose initial indication led to a sale or a new partner being acquired. Tipsters can also be retailers or wholesale partners. In this case, the retail or wholesale partner agreement is applicable. 

1.11. Referrer code 

A code consisting of several letters, which may also form a word that uniquely identifies a wholesale or retail partner in the structure. A QR Code (quick response, square matrix of white and black squares that represent the coded data in binary form) or a deep link (direct reference to a specific "deeper" subpage of a website or web-based application) that branches from an internet page directly to the region of the online shop associated with the recommender. 

1.12. Online training 

In order to be able to prove that they have acquired specialist knowledge in dealing with osmium, every potential future partner is obliged to complete a training course of the Osmium-Institute Germany online at www.osmium-academy.com and to pass the corresponding test.

2. Monopoly disclosure crystalline osmium 

2.1. Osmium as a precious metal 

Osmium is a precious metal and is traded internationally. It is mainly found in platinum mines associated with platinum. Osmium is often offered there as a so-called compound, for example as osmium tetroxide. Osmium is separated metallurgically from other metals and is only pure enough to be used after a few processing steps. The pure form of osmium is not cast in ingots, as is customary for other precious metals, but bottled. At this stage it is called osmium sponge. Osmium sponge is the raw form of osmium, which is also used for crystallization. The crystallization process is the process of rearranging atoms in the crystal to create a new crystal structure. As the crystal structure changes, the chemical and physical properties also change. 

2.2. Crystalline osmium 

This monopoly disclosure relates only to crystalline osmium. 

2.3. Crystallization of osmium 

The process of crystallization is not generally known in the scientific community and is not yet available to other companies. Crystalline osmium is therefore only marketed by the Osmium-Institute Germany. Osmium in its crystalline form is only available for the Osmium-Institute Germany from a single source in Switzerland. The complex process of osmium crystallization is currently only mastered by the supplier in Switzerland. 

2.4. The exclusive agreement 

The Osmium-Institute Germany has concluded an exclusive agreement with the provider in Switzerland with no limitation in duration. The purpose of the agreement is a regulated introduction into the market via the Osmium-Institute Germany, which has been exclusively commissioned with this task by the Swiss company. The employees of the Institute are obliged to act according to strict scientific principles and to provide each piece of osmium with a certificate of authenticity. 

2.5. The database 

In addition, the Osmium-Institute Germany maintains a database in which the scans of osmium pieces in circulation can be queried internationally. The purpose of the database is to enable a comparison of the crystal structure of a real piece of osmium with its scan from the certification. Every owner of osmium has the right to query data about his osmium from this database when he enters the respective OIC on the www.osmium-identification-code.com. Proof is provided by presenting or entering the Osmium Identification Code (OIC for short), which is supplied with each piece of osmium. The Osmium Identification Code is an eight-digit letter and number code that follows a one- to three-digit classification code. 

2.6. The Monopoly 

Through the sole introduction of osmium into the market by the Osmium-Institute Germany, a monopoly exists which is linked to the monopoly on crystallization, i.e. the process of changing the crystal structure of osmium. 

3. The pricing system 

3.1. No trading in a trading system 

The monopoly also applies to pricing, which takes place in Switzerland. Osmium is currently not traded via a trading system. The price is not represented by a market rate. However, the supply of raw osmium and the demand for crystalline osmium are the main factors influencing the price. 

3.2. Price transparency 

The price is formed and published every day, taking into account the following key aspects: 

Supply of raw osmium, supply of crystalline osmium offcut for redistillation, option contracts for raw osmium, current stock of raw osmium, number of crystallization furnaces, electricity price, costs for personnel, costs for safety in the laboratory, establishment of reserves, costs for certification and packaging, cut prices for crystalline osmium, demand for crystalline osmium, current sales of crystalline osmium and several less weighted factors. 

3.3. Harvest rate as an aspect of pricing 

The most important aspect of daily pricing is the harvest rate. The harvest rate is the amount of osmium that can be used after the crystals have been grown and does not have to be returned to the process. The resulting scrap of unusable crystals must be distilled several times and recrystallized at high technical and monetary costs. 

4. The contracting parties 

4.1. The Osmium-Institute Germany 

The Osmium-Institute is a monopoly company in the legal form of a German limited liability company entrusted with the market introduction and certification of crystalline osmium. The Osmium-Institute Germany is building a worldwide structure, which establishes an Osmium-Institute in as many countries of the world as possible, with subordinate national trading partners as wholesale and retail partners as well as tipsters. It trains and certifies these business partners and also certifies crystalline Osmium worldwide and sends it to the respective national institutes. In addition, the Osmium-Institute Germany maintains the corresponding database in which all pieces of crystalline osmium placed on the market by the Osmium-Institute Germany are certified and these certificates are stored through a code, the OIC. 

4.2. The tipster 

The tipster is a legal or natural person, a partnership or a similar association of several persons. Only those who have successfully completed the onboarding process and the corresponding training and - after passing the examination - certification of this training at the Institute with express recognition of the conditions set by the Osmium-Institute Germany can be a tipster. The tipster is neither an employee nor a collaborator of the Osmium-Institute Germany. 

5. Rights and obligations of the tipster 

5.1. Partner status 

The tipster must be approved by the institute as a partner. 

5.2. Possible dual function 

As a partner, the tipster can also be a retailer or wholesaler in addition to its function as a tipster. If the tipster is also a retail or wholesale partner, the claims as a tipster are based exclusively on the retail or wholesale partner agreement. 

5.3. Freedom from instructions 

The contractual partner is not bound by instructions. 

5.4. No territorial protection and no right of representation 

The tipster has neither territorial protection nor a right of representation. He/she may not make or accept any statement with effect for or against the Osmium-Institute Germany, nor may he/she appear or act on behalf of the Osmium-Institute Germany. 

5.5. Task of the tipster 

The task of the tipster is to introduce interested parties and potential buyers of osmium to the Osmium-Institute Germany, a state institute partner or a wholesale partner. This is done by naming either potential new partners for the Osmium-Institute Germany or potential end customers with their express consent and in compliance with data protection regulations in such a way that the Osmium-Institute Germany is enabled to either (when naming possible partners) carry out an onboarding process or sell crystalline osmium to end customers. In doing so, the tipster has to inform the interested parties and potential buyers he has recruited about his referrer code and point out to them that they have to provide this referrer code to the Osmium-Institute Germany when buying or brokering. 

5.6. List of evidence 

The tipster must keep a record of the sales of crystalline osmium made by him/her and, at the request of the Osmium-Institute Germany, must disclose this to the Osmium-Institute Germany at any time immediately, completely and free of charge. 

This measure serves as a supplement to and safeguarding of the electronic ordering system, which documents all purchase and sales transactions 

5.7. Examinations 

Failure to provide evidence of participation in and passing the main examination, as well as any subsequent refresher examination to expand the expertise required to perform the tasks, will result in the forfeiture of any commissions six months after the invitation to the examination. No refund is available after retaking an examination. However, the commission models will be reinstated upon passing all examinations. Failure to comply with the refresher examination may, at the discretion of the Osmium Institute, lead to exclusion from the sales network. In the event of disputes, the Osmium World Council OWC GmbH will be the arbitration body. 

6. Commission of the tipster 

6.1. Successful onboarding process 

If the German Osmium-Institute conducts an onboarding process for a new partner named by a tipster, this onboarding process must be successfully completed by the new partner. Then this new partner must bring crystalline osmium into circulation in order to trigger a commission claim from the tipster. 

6.2. Entitlement to commission 

If the tipster names an end customer, a commission claim based on the net price that the end customer pays to the Osmium-Institute Germany is only triggered if this end customer buys, acquires and pays for crystalline osmium. This applies both to the mediation of a direct sale and to the mediation of a sale by a trading partner. 

6.3. Information obligation 

The Osmium-Institute Germany will inform the tipster of the transactions that have come about in accordance with section 6.1. or 6.2. The notification is carried out by displaying the purchase in the partner area of the billing software. An active push message is only carried out in special cases. 

6.4. Brokerage business 

In the brokerage business, the goods are purchased via a trading partner, the online platform of a trading partner or the online shop www.buy-osmium.com using the recommender code, a QR code or a deep link. The sale is handled by the State Institute Partner, a retailer or via a wholesale partner. 

6.5. Refund of commissions 

If the purchase is cancelled for a reason beyond the control of the Osmium-Institute Germany, the State Institute Partner or a wholesale partner or retailer, the commission must be refunded. In such a case, after the purchase price has been refunded to the buyer, the commission is to be refunded by the tipster within two weeks or will be offset against outstanding commissions in accordance with the Osmium-Institute Germany.

7. Calculation, maturity and payment of the commission 

7.1. Level 0 

The tipster receives a one-time commission of 6% of the net retail price on all purchases made by the tipster himself at the Osmium-Institute Germany (level 0).
