2) Contractual Grounds
2.1. Offer and Acceptance

2.2. Formation of Contract
The Contract becomes effective upon the Supplier’s written acceptance of the Order, marking the commencement date of the agreement.
2.3. Agreement Scope
The complete terms of the parties’ agreement are detailed within the Contract. The Customer acknowledges reliance solely on provisions explicitly included in the Contract and disclaims any dependence on representations, assurances, guarantees, or warranties not incorporated expressly within.
2.4. Purpose of Descriptive Materials

2.5. Contractual Provisions
The Contract is governed exclusively by the terms outlined herein, superseding any additional terms sought to be imposed by the Customer or implied through trade, custom, or business practice.
2.6. Validity of Quotations
Supplier quotations, subject to stock availability, are not considered offers and remain valid solely for the Business Day of their issuance.
2.7. Applicability of Conditions
These conditions apply universally to the supply of goods and services without bias towards any specific state or jurisdiction.
3) Goods
3.1. Specification of Goods
The specifics outlining the Goods can be found within the quotation, Order, or Goods Specification.
3.2. Modification of Product Specifications
If deemed essential for compliance with pertinent statutory or regulatory obligations, the Supplier reserves the right to alter the Product Specifications.
4) transfer of goods
4.1. Documentation with Goods
For each shipment of Goods, the Supplier ensures the inclusion of a delivery note containing the Order date, relevant Customer and Supplier reference numbers, details of Goods type and quantity (including applicable code numbers), and any specific storage instructions.
4.2. Delivery Arrangements
Upon notifying the Customer of Goods availability, the Supplier undertakes delivery to the specified Delivery Location outlined in the Order or as agreed upon by both parties.
4.3. Completion of Delivery
Delivery of Goods is considered complete upon arrival at the specified delivery location.
4.4. Inspection and Reporting
Within 48 hours of delivery completion, the Customer must inspect the items. They must report any discrepancies, including incorrect quantity, faulty goods, non-compliance with specifications, or visible damage, adhering to the return policy and providing necessary written notification to the courier upon receipt of visibly damaged goods.
4.5. Delivery Schedule and Force Majeure
Delivery dates provided are estimates, and time is not considered critical. The Supplier is not liable if a Force Majeure Event hinders Goods delivery or due to inadequate delivery instructions from the Customer.
4.6. Supplier's Liability
If the Supplier cannot deliver, liability is limited to costs and expenses incurred in locating similar replacement goods in the least expensive market, deducting the Goods’ Price. Failure to provide adequate delivery instructions absolves the Supplier from liability due to a Force Majeure Event.
4.7. Delivery Attempts
Within 5 Business Days, the Supplier will attempt delivery a maximum of two times.
4.8. Customer’s Failure to Accept Delivery
If the Customer fails to accept or take delivery within 5 Business Days of notification:
- The Supplier stores the Goods, charging related costs to the Customer.
- Delivery is deemed to occur on the first Business Day at 9:00 am following the Supplier’s notification.
4.8. Non-Acceptance of Goods
Failure to accept delivery within 5 Business Days empowers the Supplier to resell, return, or dispose of Goods, accounting for any surplus or charging the Customer for any shortfall, after deducting reasonable costs.
4.9. Improper Quantity of Goods
Should the Supplier deliver more or fewer Goods than ordered, the Customer cannot reject the Goods. However, notification of improper delivery quantity permits a pro-rata adjustment to the invoice.
4.10. Delivery in Installments
Goods may be supplied in installments, invoiced, and paid for separately. Each installment constitutes a distinct contract. Delay or defect in one installment does not entitle the Customer to cancel or withhold payment for other installments.
5) Quality of Goods
5.1.
1. The Supplier now ensures that the goods will
- Exhibit satisfactory quality.
- Conform precisely to their description and any relevant Goods Specification.
- Be devoid of significant design, material, or workmanship flaws.
- Be suitable for any specific purpose as indicated by the Supplier.
5.2.
Under section 5.3, in the event the Customer discovers that some or all of the goods do not meet the warranty outlined in clause 5.1 and duly notifies the Manufacturer in writing within a reasonable period, the Customer shall directly contact the Manufacturer to discuss rectifying or replacing the defective goods. The Supplier must be afforded a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods, and upon request, the Customer shall return the goods to the Supplier.
5.3.
The Supplier shall not be held accountable if the products fail to meet the warranty in clause 5.1 under the following circumstances:
- The defect arises due to the Customer’s failure to adhere to the Supplier’s oral or written instructions regarding the storage, installation, commissioning, use, or maintenance of the Goods, or in the absence of such teachings, good trade practices.
- The defect arises from the Supplier’s compliance with any drawing, design, or Goods Specification provided by the Customer.
- The Customer modifies the Goods in any manner after issuing a notice as per clause 5.2.
5.4.
Except as explicitly stated in clause 5, the Supplier bears no responsibility for any failure of the Products to meet the warranty outlined in article 5.1.
5.5.
Any repaired or replacement goods furnished by the Supplier under section 5.2 shall be subject to the provisions stipulated in these Terms.
6) Title & Risk
6.1.
Upon successful delivery, ownership of the Items shall be transferred to the Client.
6.2.
Upon the Supplier’s receipt of full payment (in cash or cleared funds, inclusive of any interest and TAX) for the Goods for which payment is due, title to the Goods shall transfer to the Customer at that point.
6.3.
The Customer is obliged to fulfill these responsibilities until ownership of the goods is transferred to them: To ensure clear identification of the Goods as the Supplier’s property, the Customer must:
- Store the Goods separately from all other inventory in their possession.
- Refrain from removing, defacing, or obscuring any identifying marks or packaging on or associated with the Goods.
- Avoid integrating or attaching the Goods to other products, including software, ROM, RAM, hardware, or other media.
- Maintain the Goods in prime condition and uphold comprehensive insurance coverage on the Goods for their full value against all risks.
6.4.
In instances where the Customer is granted credit terms, they may sell or utilize the Goods within the regular course of their business (excluding other uses) prior to the Supplier receiving payment for the Products. However, if the Customer sells the goods before payment:
- Ownership of the Products transfers from the Supplier to the Customer just before the point of resale, and this transfer occurs as a principal transaction, not as an agent of the Supplier.
6.5.
Without constraining the Supplier’s other entitlements or solutions, if any events specified in article 13.2 occur or if payment for the goods is not made following clause 9 before ownership of the goods passes to the Customer:
- The Supplier reserves the right to request the prompt delivery of all Goods that have not been resold or irrevocably incorporated into another product. Should the Customer fail to comply, the Supplier may access any premises where the Goods are stored, including those of third parties, to retrieve them, even if it involves dismantling a product.
7) Supply of Services
7.1.
The Supplier commits to executing the Services for the Customer, adhering closely to the Service Specification in all substantial aspects.
7.2.
The Supplier will exert its utmost efforts to deliver the Services by the dates specified in the Order. However, these dates serve as estimations, and no strict deadline exists for completing the Services.

In the event of a Customer Default—defined as the Customer’s failure to fulfill any pertinent obligation—resulting in impeding or delaying the Supplier’s duties regarding the Services:
- The Supplier reserves the right to suspend Service performance until the Customer rectifies the Customer Default. Furthermore, the Supplier may cite the Customer Default as grounds for not fulfilling its obligations to the extent that the Customer Default obstructs or delays the Supplier’s own commitments.
- The Supplier shall not be held accountable for any costs or losses incurred by the Customer due to such circumstances.
9) Payments & Charges
