and services offered by the supplier. The supplier is not bound to any terms of the buyer which deviate from the suppliers own,
even in the case that these terms are emphasised, nor shall the supplier be bound to the buyer’s own terms and conditions
should they override the supplier’s own. Reciept of any products and services – regardless of any previous objections to said
products and services – shall be regarded as acceptance on behalf of the buyer, of the terms outlined by the supplier.

1. The order processing consists of a two-stage graphical release process. This process is mandatory for the supplier and the

supplier.
2. In a first step, a layout of the coin is created (layout graphic), which is purely a graphic representation of the coin. This layout
graphic must be confirmed in writing by the customer.
3. Based on the layout graphic, this graphic is transformed into a technical “production graphic”. This graphic then is used to cut
and prepare the molds for embossing. The production graphic also must be confirmed in writing by the customer prior to the
start of production.
