To ensure a good delivery date, partial deliveries within the agreed delivery period may be made unless otherwise agreed in the written confirmation, which the buyer is obliged to accept. Non-acceptance of individual partial deliveries shall entitle the seller to withdraw from the entire contract and to assert claims for damages without setting a grace period.

It is not a delivery delay as long as the buyer does not settle all outstanding debts of the seller.
