The sales order, including all supplies and the services, shall be governed by theseTerms and Conditions. References made by the buyer (“Buyer”) to its general terms and conditions are hereby rejected. These Terms and Conditions shall also apply to all future business. Deviation from these Terms and Conditions requires the explicit written approval of Terramera Inc. (“Terramera”; and, together with Buyer, the “Parties”).
OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE.
Terramera’s quotations are not binding offers. A contract is only formed when Terramera receives a signed sales order from Buyer, that subsequently Terramera accepts. Terramera reserves the right to accept or reject all sales orders.
PRODUCT QUALITY; SPECIMENS AND SAMPLES; GUARANTEES.
Terramera’s products shall conform to product specifications; no other properties (e.g. quality; shelf life) are binding unless they have been agreed to in writing in advance by the Parties.
ADVICE.
Any advice rendered by Terramera is given to the best of its knowledge. Any advice and information with respect to suitability and application of the goods shall not relieve Buyer from undertaking its own investigations and tests.
PRICES.
If the date of contract is more than three months before the scheduled date of delivery, Terramera reserves the right to implement price increases or changes to its standard terms of payment. Terramera shall give Buyer at least 30 days’ notice of any price increases or other changes, and Buyer may amend or cancel its order with 14days’ of receiving the notice.
DELIVERY.
Delivery shall be affected as agreed in the sales order. Delivery terms shall be interpreted in accordance with the INCOTERMS in force on the date the contract is formed.
DAMAGE IN TRANSIT.
If Buyer engaged the carrier, Buyer shall file any claims arising out of damage in transit directly with the carrier per the contract of carriage. Buyer shall provide Terramera with a copy of any damage claims. If Terramera engaged the carrier, Terramera shall file the damage claim, with a copy to Buyer. The Parties shall provide each other with reasonable assistance with any damage claims to a carrier.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
Unless specifically agreed otherwise, Buyer is responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations regarding import, transport, storage and use of the goods, starting when the product is delivered or made available for pick up.
DELAY IN PAYMENT.
In the event of late payment, Terramera is entitled to charge 2% interest per month on outstanding amounts, or such maximum interest as is permitted by law, whichever is lower. Failure to pay within 14 days of notice of overdue amounts constitutes a contract event of default.
DAMAGED & DEFECTIVE GOODS.
Terramera must be notified of any damages that can be discovered during routine inspection upon receipt of the goods. If goods are picked up by Buyer, damages should be noted then; if good are delivered by Terramera, Buyer should note damages on carrier’s waybill.
If the goods are defective and Buyer has duly notified Terramera, Buyer has its statutory rights, provided that:
a) Terramera has the right to choose whether to remedy the defect or supply Buyer with non-defective replacement goods.
b) Terramera may make two attempts remedy the defect. Should these fail or cause unreasonable inconvenience to Buyer, Buyer may either withdraw from the contract or demand a reduction in the purchase price.
c) With regard to claims for compensation and reimbursement of expenses on a defect, Terramera shall approve these claims on a case-by-case basis in its sole discretion.
Buyer’s claims for defective goods are subject to a period of limitation of 4weeks from receipt of the goods.
In the following cases, the legal periods of limitation apply instead: a) liability for willful misconduct, b) fraudulent concealment of a defect, c) claims against Terramera relating to the defectiveness of goods that when applied in the ordinary manner caused it to be defective, d) claims for damage to life, body and health caused by Terramera’s negligent breach of duty, or by willful or negligent breach of duty on the part of Terramera’s legal representative or vicarious agent, e) claims for other damage caused by Terramera’s grossly negligent breach of duty, or by willful or grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of Terramera’s legal representative or vicarious agent, and f) in the event of a Buyer’s recourse claim based on consumer goods purchasing regulations.
