When the warranty exclusion does not hold<\/h1>\r\n      <p class=\"lead\">You buy a used car in Germany for your company \u2014 from a dealer or another business. The contract contains the standard line: &#8220;gekauft wie gesehen, unter Ausschluss jeglicher Gew\u00e4hrleistung&#8221; \u2014 sold as seen, all warranties excluded. When a serious defect surfaces, the seller points to the signed contract. Yet Germany&#8217;s Federal Court of Justice ruled long ago that such a clause in a standard form contract is invalid \u2014 even between businesses.<\/p>\r\n      <div class=\"art-meta\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/dr-artur-barczewski.webp\" alt=\"Dr. Artur Barczewski\" loading=\"lazy\">\r\n        <div><b>Dr. Artur Barczewski<\/b>Rechtsanwalt \u00b7 attorney-at-law<\/div>\r\n        <div style=\"margin-left:1rem;border-left:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.25);padding-left:1rem\">\u2248 7 min read<br>updated: July 2026<\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<article class=\"sec\">\r\n  <div class=\"wrap\">\r\n    <div class=\"prose rv\" style=\"font-size:1.02rem\">\r\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:1.35rem;margin-top:2.2rem\">The story: a rolled-back odometer and a contract &#8220;without any warranty&#8221;<\/h3>\r\n      <p>The case that settled the question looked familiar. One business sold another a used vehicle for 30,160 euros. The odometer showed 25,760 km and 600 operating hours. The real figures were around 75,000 km and 3,900 hours. The contract carried the classic formula: sold &#8220;unter Ausschluss jeder Gew\u00e4hrleistung&#8221; \u2014 with all warranties excluded.<\/p>\r\n      <p>The seller felt safe. The buyer was a business, both sides had signed the exclusion, and between businesses more is allowed, after all. The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) saw it differently: the clause was invalid in its entirety, and the seller was liable as if no exclusion had ever been agreed (judgment of 19 September 2007, VIII ZR 141\/06).<\/p>\r\n\r\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:1.35rem;margin-top:2.2rem\">A business purchase is not a consumer purchase \u2014 but the seller still cannot do everything<\/h3>\r\n      <p>Let&#8217;s be honest about one thing first: buying a car for your business means losing consumer protection. A dealer cannot exclude warranty rights against a consumer at all, and a defect surfacing within a year enjoys <a href=\"https:\/\/bwlaw.de\/en\/knowledge-base\/car-from-germany-broke-down-after-purchase\/\">the presumption that it already existed at handover<\/a>. Between businesses the freedom of contract is wider, and a warranty exclusion is in principle permissible.<\/p>\r\n      <p>So much for the theory. In practice sellers regularly overestimate their clauses, because three mechanisms set the limits:<\/p>\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li><strong>judicial review of standard terms (AGB)<\/strong> \u2014 a blanket exclusion in a form contract fails even in B2B dealings,<\/li>\r\n        <li><strong>\u00a7 444 BGB<\/strong> \u2014 no clause ever covers fraudulently concealed defects or a guarantee that was given,<\/li>\r\n        <li><strong>tort liability<\/strong> \u2014 the typical clause does not reach it at all.<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:1.35rem;margin-top:2.2rem\">A ready-made form is &#8220;standard terms&#8221; \u2014 and that is where the seller&#8217;s problem begins<\/h3>\r\n      <p>The key question in every such dispute: was the exclusion individually negotiated with you, or imposed as a pre-drafted template? Standard terms (Allgemeine Gesch\u00e4ftsbedingungen, AGB) are contract terms pre-formulated for multiple contracts and presented by one party to the other at the conclusion of the contract (\u00a7 305 BGB). In the car trade that means: a clause printed on a form, generated by dealer software or copied from a template book is almost always a standard term.<\/p>\r\n      <p>The case law sets the bar low. An intention to use the clause in three contracts is already enough \u2014 and even a single use of a text that someone else drafted for repeated use, such as an industry form, qualifies. If it was the seller who produced the ready-made, machine-written contract text, a factual presumption works in the buyer&#8217;s favour that the document is a template. Details give a &#8220;serial&#8221; clause away too: the contract consistently speaks of one &#8220;buyer&#8221; although there were two, or uses generic phrases such as &#8220;in contracts with businesses&#8221;.<\/p>\r\n      <p>The seller may argue that the clause was genuinely negotiated (ausgehandelt). The requirements are strict: he would have had to put the substance of the exclusion truly up for discussion and give the buyer a real chance to influence its content. Merely reading the clause out, discussing it or signing it in full awareness is not enough \u2014 and it is the seller who must prove that real negotiations took place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:1.35rem;margin-top:2.2rem\">A blanket exclusion in standard terms fails \u2014 even between businesses<\/h3>\r\n      <p>The catalogue of prohibited clauses in \u00a7 309 BGB formally applies only to consumer contracts. The BGH has consistently held, however, that these prohibitions serve as a signpost in B2B dealings as well: a clause that would be banned against a consumer will as a rule unreasonably disadvantage a business customer too (\u00a7 307 BGB). A clause excluding &#8220;all warranties&#8221; \u2014 read, as the case law requires, in the way least favourable to the customer \u2014 also excludes liability for injury to life, body and health and for gross negligence. And that can never be excluded in standard terms.<\/p>\r\n      <blockquote style=\"margin:1.6rem 0;padding:1.2rem 1.5rem;background:rgba(194,85,49,.08);border-left:3px solid var(--terra);border-radius:0 14px 14px 0\">\r\n        <p style=\"font-style:italic;margin-bottom:.7rem\">\u201eEin Unternehmer darf ebenso wie ein Verbraucher darauf vertrauen, dass sein Vertragspartner ihn nicht grob fahrl\u00e4ssig oder gar vors\u00e4tzlich sch\u00e4digt.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"margin-bottom:.7rem\">&#8220;A business, just like a consumer, may trust that its contracting partner will not harm it through gross negligence or even intentionally.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"font-size:.85rem;color:var(--ink-soft);margin:0\">BGH, judgment of 19 September 2007, VIII ZR 141\/06 \u2014 our translation<\/p>\r\n      <\/blockquote>\r\n      <p>The BGH confirmed this line in 2021 in another case between businesses (judgment of 3 February 2021, XII ZR 29\/20). And the consequence of invalidity is radical: <strong>the clause falls in its entirety<\/strong>. The court will not trim it down to the permissible minimum \u2014 the full statutory warranty regime takes its place: repair, withdrawal from the contract, price reduction, damages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:1.35rem;margin-top:2.2rem\">Two clauses in one deal \u2014 another trap for the seller<\/h3>\r\n      <p>A frequent scenario: the seller hands over his general terms of business containing a correctly drafted, narrow clause, while the contract form itself carries a second, blanket warranty exclusion. If, as a result, it is unclear which rule is meant to apply, the ambiguity works against the seller. Nor can he fall back on the milder clause once the harsher one has failed \u2014 that would amount, by a detour, to the prohibited practice of saving an invalid term.<\/p>\r\n\r\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:1.35rem;margin-top:2.2rem\">What no clause can ever exclude<\/h3>\r\n      <p>Even a validly agreed, individually negotiated warranty exclusion has limits that cannot be crossed:<\/p>\r\n      <p><strong>Fraudulently concealed defects and guarantees (\u00a7 444 BGB).<\/strong> A seller who knew about a defect \u2014 a concealed accident history, <a href=\"https:\/\/bwlaw.de\/en\/knowledge-base\/rolled-back-odometer-car-from-germany\/\">a manipulated odometer<\/a> \u2014 and kept quiet cannot hide behind the exclusion. In the rolled-back odometer case we started with, this was precisely the mechanism that finished the seller off.<\/p>\r\n      <p><strong>Tort claims for a &#8220;spreading defect&#8221; (weiterfressender Mangel).<\/strong> Where a defective component gradually destroys the rest of the vehicle \u2014 the classic example: a faulty assembly in the valve train ended up destroying the whole engine (BGH, judgment of 24 March 1992, VI ZR 210\/91) \u2014 tort liability comes into play alongside the warranty. The typical clause speaks of &#8220;warranty&#8221; or &#8220;Gew\u00e4hrleistung&#8221; and does not reach tort claims at all. The BGH requires that an intention to exclude non-contractual liability follow unambiguously from the clause, and any doubts count against the seller.<\/p>\r\n      <p>A side note: the phrase &#8220;gekauft wie gesehen&#8221; \u2014 sold as seen \u2014 is narrower than sellers assume. The courts read it as covering only those defects a layperson could spot on inspection. It does not &#8220;legalise&#8221; hidden technical defects.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"hl rv\" style=\"max-width:760px\">\r\n      <span class=\"eyebrow\">Checklist<\/span>\r\n      <h3>Bought a defective car for your business \u2014 what to do<\/h3>\r\n      <p>In purchases between businesses \u00a7 377 HGB applies: you must <strong>examine the vehicle without undue delay after delivery<\/strong> and <strong>notify the seller of any defects immediately<\/strong> \u2014 hidden defects immediately after they surface.

Examine the car at once and report defects without delay.<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:1.35rem;margin-top:2.2rem\">Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\r\n      <p><strong>Does &#8220;gekauft wie gesehen&#8221; exclude liability for hidden defects?<\/strong><br>No. Under the case law this phrase covers only defects a layperson could notice on inspection. The seller remains liable for hidden technical defects \u2014 and if the phrase is part of a form contract meant to work as a blanket exclusion, it is invalid.<\/p>\r\n      <p><strong>I bought the car for my business from a private seller \u2014 do the same rules apply?<\/strong><br>A private seller can as a rule validly exclude the warranty, because the strict review of standard terms is aimed primarily at clauses used serially. One limit remains the same for everyone: fraudulently concealed defects can never be excluded (\u00a7 444 BGB).<\/p>\r\n      <p><strong>Who must prove the seller&#8217;s fraud \u2014 and how?<\/strong><br>The burden of proof lies with the buyer. You must show that the seller knew of the defect, or at least considered it possible, and kept silent nonetheless \u2014 or made claims about the car &#8220;into the blue&#8221;, for instance calling it accident-free without ever checking. In practice this is proven with circumstantial evidence: the extent and visibility of previous damage, service records and the vehicle&#8217;s history, witnesses, and an expert opinion showing that a professional could not have missed the defect. The stakes are high \u2014 proven fraud defeats every warranty exclusion (\u00a7 444 BGB), opens the door to rescinding the contract (\u00a7 123 BGB) and extends the limitation periods.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>How much time do I have for claims in a business purchase?<\/strong><br>Warranty claims become time-barred as a rule two years after handover of the car, and for used cars contracts often shorten this to one year. Independently of that, \u00a7 377 HGB runs: defects must be notified immediately, otherwise the claims can be lost much earlier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p style=\"font-size:.85rem;color:var(--ink-soft)\">The judgments discussed are publicly available: BGH, judgment of 19 September 2007 (VIII ZR 141\/06), BGH, judgment of 3 February 2021 (XII ZR 29\/20, BGHZ 228, 353) and BGH, judgment of 24 March 1992 (VI ZR 210\/91).
