At the orders of the buyers that the latter submit to the seller and that are prepared on the basis of special technical requirements of the buyers, the seller shall reserve the right to change the general sales conditions. The seller shall expressly inform the buyers about any such change. The subject of sales covered by these general sales conditions are all the products from the seller’s sales programme.

Upon the buyer’s request, the seller submits to the buyer a clarification about the products’ technical characteristics, which is not binding for the seller.

The order confirmation given by the seller represents the seller’s final sales conditions under which the contract is concluded. Unless the buyer expressly demands confirmation of the order referred to in the previous paragraph, the seller shall supply the buyer the goods available in accordance with the general sales conditions, if the seller accepts the buyer’s order. If when placing an order the buyer does not require delivery of all the goods ordered, the seller shall be entitled to deliver to the buyer only a part of the goods ordered that the buyer is obliged to accept.

The buyer’s order must be placed in a written form and sent to the seller’s address by post, fax or to its electronic address. If the seller and buyer conclude a special sales contract, the latter is concluded when signed by both contracting parties. If the buyer cancels the placed order or the concluded contract or changes the order, it shall be obliged to pay to the seller a contractual penalty for the case of withdrawal from the contract by the buyer amounting to 20 % of the value of the order or contract, which was cancelled or changed by the buyer. The buyer has no right to withdraw from the concluded contract for goods, which were ordered on the basis the buyer’s special specifications and were tailor-made for a specific buyer. The goods are ordered on the basis of the buyer’s special specifications and tailor-made for a specific buyer in case when the seller’s supplier produces the goods or finishes with their production only after conclusion of the sales contract between the buyer and seller. The seller’s delivery date is 60 days, unless otherwise decided in the concluded sales contract. The seller shall determine the concrete delivery times for specific sales contracts in the pro forma invoice, offer or confirmation of the order. If only framework delivery date is determined in the contract, pro forma invoice, offer or order confirmation, the deadline for fulfilment of the seller’s obligations is 30 days after the expiry of the framework delivery date.

4. PURCHASE PRICE

The prices indicated in the offers or pro forma invoices given by the seller to the buyer, or in later confirmations of specific orders by the sellers are final. The seller shall define prices for the buyer in specific offers on the basis of the buyer’s specific conditions. In cases where the pricelist does not exist, the seller shall determine prices by taking into consideration the seller’s business policy and special agreements with the buyer and submit them to the buyer with specific offers or pro forma invoices. If the purchase price is not specifically determined in the offer, pro forma invoice or special sales contract, the price according to the seller’s pricelist shall apply valid on the date when the contract was concluded. If during implementation of the concluded sales contract the seller’s pricelist changes, the changed prices for the buyer shall apply from the date when the seller informs the buyer about the change of the pricelist. The prices in the valid pricelist are wholesale prices. They shall not include installation and connection of products, software or training of the customer.

5. METHOD AND INSURANCE OF PAYMENT

The price determined in this sales contract is in EUR. The seller shall be obliged to handover to the buyer EXW goods in the seller’s warehouse (Incoterms 2000). In case of a preliminary agreement with the buyer or at its own discretion or decision, the seller may deliver goods to the buyer’s address, whereby the costs, including the costs of packaging, and responsibility for the transport shall be borne by the buyer. Payment shall be made in advance, unless otherwise agreed. The buyer shall be obliged to pay its own financial obligations in cash with the payment order to the seller’s business account. Payment with compensation shall not be deemed as a valid method of payment of the obligation, unless the contracting parties expressly agree with this or if the buyer’s counterclaims are final and judicially recognized. The date of payment shall be the date when the seller receives cash to its business account from the buyer’s bank. The buyer shall expressly agree with the assignment of a part or all future claims to the third persons that the seller will have towards the buyer. In case of a delay in payment of the obligations due towards the seller, the seller shall have the right to charge the statutory late payment interests. If a special payment deadline is agreed, the seller may demand insurance of payment with the enforcement draft; on which there is a debtor’s signature, certified by a notary or administrative unit; bank guarantee or documentary credit.

6. QUANTITY ESTABLISHMENT

The buyer shall be obliged to check the supplied goods immediately after collection of the goods and then establish and make a complaint regarding the quantity of goods. Delivery shall also include handing over of the goods to the carrier.

7. MATERIAL DEFECTS

After collection of the goods, the buyer shall be obliged to immediately check them and communicate any potential material defects in writing, with the complaint record, to the seller, at the latest within 3 days after the date of collection. In case of a complaint, the buyer must send the goods to the seller’s address at its own expense. The seller shall be liable for the material defects of the sold goods 6 months after handing them over to the buyer. The buyer shall be obliged to ensure that the goods delivered by the seller shall be tested by a qualified person. The buyer shall be obliged to ensure as well that the goods delivered by the seller are installed by a qualified person. The seller dispatches the goods to the buyer in a standard packaging according to its standards. The seller may charge the costs of packaging and packing to the buyer. On specific request of the buyer, the seller packs the goods in another way, but the buyer shall be obliged to pay the costs of such packaging and packing. The seller shall not be liable for the damage resulting from such packaging or packing. The seller shall be responsible for material defects that the buyer could not establish at the collection of the goods (the so-called hidden defects), if they occur within 6 months from the date of collection and they resulted from the reason which existed at the time of handover, providing that the buyer informs the seller about them in writing, with the complaint record, immediately after they occur, at the latest within 3 days from the date when they occur. The buyer must deliver the goods complained to the seller’s registered office or send them there at its own expense. In notification, the buyer must define and accurately describe the material defects and enable the seller to check the goods complained and make a statement about the alleged material defects. Due to material defects, the buyer shall give two possibilities to the seller to correct the goods or rectify the material defect. If this is not the case or defect rectification is not successful, the buyer shall demand from the seller to change the goods. A reasonable deadline for remedial action or change shall be the date not shorter than 45 days. After defect rectification, the buyer shall be obliged to collect the remedied or changed goods at the seller’s head office. If defect rectification is not successful and the seller cannot change the goods, the buyer may demand a lower purchase price or it may withdraw from the contract. At minor material defect or incompliance with the contract, the buyer has no right to withdraw from the contract. In case of withdrawal from the contract, the buyer shall have no right to additional compensation due to a defect. If the buyer first starts or arbitrarily rectifies a defect on its own or with the help of the third persons without enabling the seller to check it and make a statement about the material defects, the seller’s responsibility for the material defects ceases to exist. Should it appear that the goods had no material defect or that a defect is a result of incorrect and non-professional installation or connection, or that the seller is not liable for it, the buyer shall be obliged to reimburse all the costs relating to this. With regard to this, the contractual parties determine by mutual consent this damage in the amount of 30% of the purchase price for the goods complained. If the damage made to the seller is more serious than the contractually agreed compensation, then the seller has the right to demand it from the buyer according to the general rules of the law of obligations. The characteristics of the goods are in principle agreed only with the description of the product by the manufacturer. Public statements, recommendations or advertising of the manufacturer do not present additional contractually valid indications of characteristics.

8. GUARANTEE

The seller gives a guarantee for some technical products so that the latter will be technically sound and that it will rectify free of charge all the defects that would occur on these products within 6 months from handing them over to the buyer, or it will change the product. In case of execution of the seller’s responsibility regarding the guarantee for smooth operation, the buyer shall be obliged to deliver the product complained to the seller. The guarantee conditions printed on the guarantee documents attached to the products are in force. In relation to the buyer, the seller shall not assume any contractual liability for the damage, except direct liability regarding the guarantee for smooth operation of the product or direct liability for the material defects, for any damage case, for which the seller could be liable. With these general sales conditions, the seller shall expressly exclude any seller’s liability for the damage made to the buyer regarding complaining about or rectifying material defects or defects regarding the guarantee, relating to delivered goods. If it appears that the goods had no defects and they smoothly operated or that a defect is a result of incorrect or non-professional installation or connection or that the seller is not liable for the damage, the buyer shall be obliged to reimburse to the seller all the costs regarding this. With regard to this, the contractual parties determine by mutual consent this damage in the amount of 30% of the purchase price for the goods complained. If the damage made to the seller is more serious than the contractually agreed compensation, then the seller has the right to demand it from the buyer according to the general rules of the law of obligations.

9. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SELLER FOR DELAY IN DELIVERY OF GOODS

The delivery time starts to run when the buyer pays the purchase price on the basis of the offer, pro-forma invoice or special sales contract. The seller shall not be responsible for the delay in fulfilment of its contractual obligations, resulting from exceptional natural conditions (earthquake, hail, floods, drought ...), strikes (in the seller’s company, other companies or state bodies ...), exceptional social situation (war, terrorist acts ....) and other reasons and circumstances that the seller could not prevent, eliminate or avoid. In these cases, the delivery time shall prolong for the duration of such situations. The seller must immediately inform the buyer about the reasons for delay and inform it about the extension of the deadline for handing over the products. If the reason for the delay is attributable to the seller, the buyer must give the seller an additional deadline for fulfilment of all of its contractual obligations before it can withdraw from the concluded contract. This deadline must not be shorter than 45 days. In case of fulfilment of the seller’s obligation within additional deadline or with delay, the buyer has no right to demand from the seller any compensation for the damage from the seller. For the start of delivery time running it is assumed that all the technical issues are clarified.

10. BUYER’S DELAY IN COLLECTION OF GOODS

If the buyer does not collect the goods, prepared by the seller, within agreed deadline, the risk of accidental destruction of the goods passes on it and it must reimburse to the seller all the costs incurred due to the delay.

11. BUYER’S DELAY IN PAYMENT

If the buyer does not provide the agreed insurance of payment of the purchase price, this shall be considered as in case of delay in collection of goods and the same rules as indicated for this case shall apply. If the payment insurance is not agreed and the seller has well-founded doubts that the buyer will not pay the purchase price (e. g. insolvency), the seller can make a unilateral declaration that it withdraws from the contract and demands from the buyer to pay the contractual penalty for withdrawal from the contract amounting to 20 % of the contractual value. In this case, the seller is not obliged to compensate the buyer for any damage that could arise. In case of delay in payment, the seller has the right to statutory late payment interests. If the buyer delays in payment for the goods delivered in advance and has other unfulfilled commitments towards the seller, the seller may retain further delivery of goods, also after already concluded contracts, without any liability for the damage towards the buyer. If the delivered goods have material defects, about which the buyer made a complaint, or the goods are damaged during transportation to the buyer, this shall not suspend the buyer from obligation to pay to the seller. The fact that the seller has not delivered yet to the buyer the documentation regarding the goods, it shall not as well suspend the buyer from obligation to pay the purchase price.

12. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE CONTRACT

If the buyer breaches one or several provisions of the contract or these general conditions, the seller shall have the right to immediately withdraw from the contract without submitting an additional deadline for defect rectification and period of notice.

13. RESERVATION OF TITLE

The seller has the right of ownership on the sold goods after each delivery of the goods, until the buyer pays the whole purchase price for the goods delivered after each delivery of the goods. This applies also in the case when the buyer completes, remakes, installs or in any other way changes the goods identity.

14. PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY

In accordance with the regulations, the buyer shall be obliged to take into consideration all the industrial property rights (patents, samples, models, trademarks...) of the seller and its suppliers, regarding the delivered goods. Particularly, it may not change, complete, etc. the goods protected with the industrial property rights without the seller’s consent as well as it may not remove or hide the labels of the goods bought by the seller. The seller shall reserve the ownership- and copyrights for the pictures, drawings, calculations and other documentation, and forbids the buyer to handover the documentation to the third persons. The reports on technical tests, certificates, statements or proofs specifically for the goods ordered are paid on the basis of the seller’s pricelist. The buyer shall be obliged to submit to the seller the requirements for such documentation relating to a specific product of the order or a part of the order or a batch upon submitted demand or at the latest at the time of ordering. If at the time of a demand or ordering the buyer did not demand this documentation, the seller shall not be obliged to issue it.

15. BREACH OF THE CONDITIONS OF USE AND BUYER’S RESPONSIBILTY

The buyer shall obtain the user’s name and password for full access to the online store. The buyers shall be obliged to protect the assigned user name and password and may not entrust them to the third person. The seller shall reserve the right to prevent the access to the pages accessible with the user name and password to the buyers who breach the conditions of use of the web store or act against them.
