3.2. All price-lists are subject to revision without notice. The seller reserves his right to revise prices if any increase in wages, price of material or other costs occur during manufacturing.

3.3. Should the buyer make additions or alterations in the order placed, the seller is entitled to reject these or to cancel the order. If the seller accepts the additions or alterations he is entitled to make the necessary changes in time of delivery and price.

4. Dispatch

4.1. If the parties have not explicitly agreed on any other terms, the goods will be dispatched according to the ex works clause, Incoterms 1990.

4.2. In the case of goods damaged on arrival, the buyer must immediately complain to the carrier responsible for the delivery (haulage contractor/ railway/post office etc.).

5. Delivery time

5.1. The pre-arranged delivery time is stated in the seller’s confirmation of the order. The pre-arranged delivery time is not binding for the seller, if the buyer does not meet the prearranged dates of payment with reference to payment in advance, opening a credit/issuing a confirmed irrevocable letter of credit, or guaranteeing.

5.2. Normal delivery time is 2-6 working weeks depending on the combination of orders. In the case of large or special orders the delivery time may however exceed 6 working weeks.

5.3. In the case of delay due to circumstances with the seller, except from situations of force majeure, the buyer is entitled to send the seller a written announcement demanding delivery, and setting a deadline of min. 4 weeks. If delivery has not taken place within the deadline set by the buyer, the buyer is entitled to cancel the agreement.

5.4. The buyer cannot claim any other actions/remedies for breach of contract in connection with the delay. Thus the buyer cannot claim compensation of any kind, such as compensation for loss on operations or consequential damage.

6. Payment

6.1. If there is no written agreement saying otherwise, terms of payment are net cash from the time the order is placed.

6.2. Only buyers included in the insurance contract between the seller and his collaborative partner can obtain a credit of up to 30 days net from the date of invoice.

6.3. The terms of payment are as follows: Cash payment at order – 5% extra discount CAD (cash on delivery) – 3% extra discount Normal 30 days net cash – 0% extra discount.

6.4. If the above mentioned terms of payment are violated, the buyer must pay a monthly interest according to the rate stated in the seller’s quotation/ confirmation of the order, from the due date until the due amount has been credited to the seller’s bank account. If no rate has been stated the monthly interest rate is 1.2%. Unless the parties have agreed on other terms, the buyer must make his payments by bank transfers to the seller’s account at the buyer’s expense.

6.5. Overdue payment

If payment is arriving later than 30 days after due date and this happens without written agreement with the bookkeeping department at the seller’s insurance company or/and the bookkeeping department at the seller, the agreed terms of payment are automatically cancelled. This is due to the fact that the seller’s insurance policy for the buyer’s company will be cancelled by the buyer’s insurance company when payment has arrived later than 30 days after due date. This happens automatically.

6.6.The seller reserves his property rights to any de-livery, until the final purchase sum with accrued interest, if any, has been paid in full.

6.7. Violation of the terms of payment is regarded as the buyer’s breach of the contract/agreement and the seller may thus claim actions/remedies for the breach concerning the order in question. Further the seller is released from his co-operation with the buyer in general. The buyer’s default of payment thus results in repeal in all of the buyer’s right to negotiate and any other rights, and the buyer is in this connection not entitled to make any demands relating to the repeal of the right to negotiate etc.

For orders below 1,000 Euro there will be added a handling fee to the invoice for the moment of 50 Euro.
