Vertragsstrafe wird angerechnet
German to English
Bus/Financial
Law: Contract(s)
Bei Überschreitung des vereinbarten Liefertermins um mehr als einen (1) Arbeitstag hat der Lieferant XXXX auf Verlangen eine Vertragsstrafe in Höhe von 0,15 % des Wertes des Abrufauftrages für jeden Arbeitstag der Überschreitung, höchstens jedoch 5 % des Wertes des Abrufauftrages zu zahlen. Dies gilt auch dann, wenn XXXX sich die Vertragsstrafe bei Annahme nicht ausdrücklich vorbehält. Die Vertragsstrafe wird auf einen etwaigen Schadensersatzanspruch von XXXX wegen Lieferverzuges angerechnet.
Is the penalty being added to or subtracted from the damages claim here? Or is it impossible to work out which is the case here?
TIA

andere Varianten: shall be credite against; shall be applied to...
shall be allowed as credit against usw.

Dann macht er vielleicht einen Mangelfolgeschaden geltend und bekommt nach 12 oder mehr Monaten das Urteil. Der Lieferant kann dann vom gerichtlich festgelegten Schadensersatz die bisher gutgeschriebene Vertragsstrafe abziehen.
So würde ich das sehen.
@philgoddard: What's about confidence level 1?
