When both parties apply their own general terms and conditions and these contain conflicting provisions, the conflicting clauses are excluded. This mechanism\u2014often referred to as the knock\u2011out rule\u2014means that only the compatible and non\u2011conflicting parts of each party\u2019s terms remain applicable, while the conflict itself does not invalidate the contract. Any gaps created by the exclusion are filled by the applicable default legal rules. <\/p>\n\n
