18.1 The freight forwarder's claims for remuneration require the receipt of an invoice or payment statement that meets the statutory requirements. Unless otherwise agreed, the due date for undisputed delivery does not require the submission of proof of delivery.
18.2 The Freight Forwarder is entitled to demand payment from foreign Principals or Consignees in their national currency or in Euro, at his discretion.
18.3 If the freight forwarder owes foreign currency or pays foreign currency, he is entitled to demand payment either in the foreign currency or in euros. If he demands payment in euros, the conversion will be made at the officially fixed rate on the day of the freight forwarder's payment, which the freight forwarder must prove.
18.4 Payment processing by credit note procedure must be expressly agreed. In case of doubt, the client must issue credit notes immediately after the service has been provided. Clause 18.1 sentence 1 does not apply to the credit note procedure.
