3. Prices and payment

a) Prices are exclusive of any applicable value added or any other sales tax, which are the liability of Purchaser. Except otherwise agreed in writing and except with respect to pallets, the packaging material required for transport purposes is not included in the purchase price and shall be charged separately. This shall also apply to the provision of boxes or other containers. For pallets, see as follows. Except to the extent that the underlying order provides otherwise, the pallets on which the Products are supplied will remain the sole property of Supplier or Supplier’s contractors. Pallets must be returned to the Supplier’s warehouse or made available for collection by the Supplier at the delivery location, at the Supplier’s discretion. Such return or availability for pick-up shall be at the Purchaser’s expense and within the timeframe specified by the Supplier following delivery of the Products. In the event that the Purchaser fails, for any reason whatsoever, to return or make the pallets available for collection within the aforementioned period, the Supplier shall be entitled to charge the Purchaser a fee of EUR 1 per pallet. In such case, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have purchased the pallets at the stated rate. The applicable fee shall be payable in accordance with the payment terms set forth in these Conditions.
b) Supplier shall have the right to increase the prices at any moment by giving a written notice to Purchaser which shall include a valid reason for such price increase. The notice can be forwarded by the Supplier at its own discretion by registered mail, by mail against receipt, by email or by fax. The new price list will become effective for all invoices issued 30 calendar days after the price increase notice was sent by Supplier.

In the event that Purchaser does not receive the Products on the due date due to reasons not contributable to Supplier, Purchaser nevertheless has an obligation to pay as if delivery of the Products had taken place in accordance with the delivery terms agreed. Purchaser shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and Purchaser may assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against Supplier in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part. Supplier may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amount owing to it by Purchaser against any amount payable by Supplier to the Purchaser.

4.2. a) If the total outstanding amount (including pending orders) exceeds the credit limit defined by Supplier ("Credit Limit"), Supplier shall have the right to refuse or delay the delivery until the total outstanding amount (including the pending orders and any interests) is below the Credit Limit. The Credit Limit can be reviewed at any moment by Supplier based on valid reasons.
b) In the absence of payment by the due date, (i) Supplier shall have the right to refuse or delay the delivery until Supplier has received in cleared funds full payment of the unpaid invoices, and (ii) all unsettled invoices become immediately payable, and (iii) Supplier shall automatically charge interest of 10% per annum from the day following the receipt by Purchaser of the invoice on all outstanding amounts and without further notification and shall accrue on a daily basis, and (iv) any future invoice shall be paid on a prepayment basis until further notice from Supplier. Purchaser shall pay the interest together with any unsettled invoices.
c) If there are reasonable reasons to believe that Purchaser will not fulfil its obligations to make due payment, Supplier is entitled to demand cash payment on account or demand that Purchaser presents a satisfactory bank guarantee for payment of the Products. In the event that such action is not taken by the Purchaser immediately following notification thereof from Supplier, Supplier is entitled to terminate, by notice in writing to Purchaser, all undelivered items of the Products, without any obligation for Supplier to provide compensation the Purchaser.
d) If Purchaser fails to pay any monies within one (1) month following the due date, Supplier is entitled to terminate the Contract (or any part of it) by notice in writing to Purchaser, with immediate effect. In such event, the Purchaser shall, in addition to its obligation to pay interest, indemnify and hold Supplier harmless from any loss or damage caused by such termination of the Contract.

4.3. Supplier shall retain title to all delivered Products until the purchase price is paid in full by Purchaser. In case of consecutive deliveries of the Products, the title retention shall apply to the total delivery until full payment of the aggregate purchase price is made. Purchaser is permitted to resell the Products purchased from Supplier, and for which Supplier has retained title, in Purchaser’s ordinary course of business. If before title to the Products passes to Purchaser, Purchaser becomes subject to any of the events listed in Condition 9.3, or Supplier reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies Purchaser accordingly, then, provided that the Products have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy Supplier may have, Supplier may at any time require Purchaser to return the Products and, if the Purchaser fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of Purchaser or of any third party where the Products are stored in order to recover them.

Supplier may deliver the Products by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle Purchaser to cancel any other instalment.

5.2. Delivery deadlines are only given for information purposes and not-binding. If the Payment Terms are prepayment or equivalent to prepayment, the delivery deadlines are subject to reception of the prepayment by Supplier. In the event of delay of delivery, for whatever reason, Purchaser shall not be entitled to claim any compensation whatsoever, to cancel the order or to terminate the Contract. Supplier shall take reasonable action in order to respect the time of delivery stated in the Order Acknowledgment.


6. Complaints and return of goods / Product Compliance

Purchaser must not alter or tamper with the Products packaging except if otherwise agreed upon writing. If the Purchaser decides to alter the Products Packaging (e.g. sell it in smaller commercial packaging quantities) it is Purchaser’s responsibility to be compliant with the PPE Regulations (e.g. Instructions For Use shall be added with the smaller packaging) and any other law or regulation applicable to the marketing, sale or delivery of the Products and Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless Supplier from and against any claims resulting from non-compliance with the same.
