Terms of Sale

Orders

  • By submitting an order, the Buyer agrees to these Conditions. All orders must show clear prices, quantities, and shipping dates. No order is binding until the Supplier confirms it in writing.

Prices and Taxes

  • The price for Products and Services is as quoted or agreed upon. Prices exclude taxes, transport, insurance, and duties, unless the Buyer provides a valid tax exemption certificate. The Buyer is responsible for additional charges.

Shipment and Delivery

  • The Supplier delivers Products “Free Carrier” (FCA), meaning the Buyer arranges delivery through their carrier or another agreed method. Delivery dates are approximate, and the Supplier isn’t liable for delays. The Supplier may deliver in installments, and the Buyer can’t cancel the entire order if one installment is delayed.

Risk and Title

  • The Buyer assumes the risk of loss or damage to Products upon delivery. Claims for loss, damage, or mis delivery must be filed with the carrier and the Supplier within 5 days of delivery. The Products are considered accepted 10 days after delivery unless rejected by the Buyer.

Payment Terms

  • Each shipment of Products is invoiced separately. Services are invoiced monthly in advance. Payment is due within 30 days from the invoice date.

Modifications to Products

  • The Supplier can modify product specifications as long as the changes do not negatively affect performance. The Supplier may also provide substitute materials if needed due to government regulations or supplier issues.

Product Descriptions

  • Product descriptions in catalogs or promotional materials are general and approximate. They are not warranties or representations and do not form part of the Contract.

Warranties

The Supplier warrants that all Products will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for one year from delivery. This warranty may be different if specified in the Product-specific warranty that comes with the Product. However, the Supplier does not guarantee that the Software will operate without interruption or errors, nor that all errors will be fixed.

The Buyer is responsible for ensuring the Product is suitable for their use and complies with applicable laws. The Supplier also warrants that it will perform Services according to the Proposal and with reasonable skill and care.

If the Buyer finds a defect, they must notify the Supplier in writing immediately. The Buyer must return the Product at their own risk, prepaid, within one year from delivery. After inspecting the Product, if the Supplier finds a defect, they will repair or replace it and cover the shipping cost.

Reasonable Time

The Supplier will have a reasonable amount of time to repair or replace the Product. Any repairs or replacements will not extend the warranty period. The warranty lasts for one year, or a period specified in the Product-specific warranty.

For Services, if they do not meet the warranty, the Buyer must notify the Supplier within 10 days of discovering the issue, and no later than 2 months after the Service was performed. If the Supplier agrees, they will re-perform the Service as soon as reasonably possible. If the Supplier cannot fix the issue, the Buyer’s sole remedy is a refund for the portion of the fees related to the non-conforming Service.

Breach of Warranty

The Supplier will not be liable for warranty breaches if:

  1. The Buyer continues to use the Product after notifying the Supplier of the defect.
  2. The defect is due to the Buyer’s actions.
  3. The defect comes from the Buyer’s design, materials, or products not made by the Supplier.
  4. The defect is due to accidents, misuse, neglect, improper installation, or repair.
  5. The defect arises from using the Product with materials not supplied or approved by the Supplier.
  6. The defect is caused by unauthorized modifications to the Product or failure to follow the Supplier’s instructions.
  7. The defect is due to the Buyer’s failure to provide accurate information to the Supplier.

Failure to Pay

If the Buyer fails to make payment when due, the Supplier can terminate all warranties and remedies.

Insolvency of the Buyer

If the Buyer:
(i) becomes insolvent, has a receiver, administrator, or manager appointed for its assets, makes a composition or arrangement with creditors, or undergoes similar actions due to debt;
(ii) ceases or threatens to cease business operations, the Supplier may treat the Contract as repudiated. The Supplier may also withhold further Products or Services without liability to the Buyer.
