Sales & Delivery terms

 

1.1 These Terms of Sale and Delivery of Bjørn Thorsen A/S (in the following referred to as "the Seller") shall apply to any offer, sale, and delivery unless derogated from by express written agreement. Any indication by the Buyer of special or general terms in orders, general terms of business, etc. shall not be considered derogation from the agreement between the Seller and the Buyer or the terms below, unless the Seller has given his written ac-ceptance thereof. 

1.2 Any agreement between the Buyer and the Seller shall not be considered entered into until the Seller has sent a written order confirmation or similar confirmation or by execution of the order. 

2.1 The Seller's prices are exclusive of VAT and other du-ties. The Seller reserves the right, unless otherwise agreed, to alter the prices indicated without notice due to increases in the Seller's costs in connection with the pro-curement of the goods. 

3.1 Times of delivery quoted are intended as a best estimate and are calculated from the Seller's order confirmation, however no sooner than the time when the Seller con-firms in writing to have received all information in con-nection with the delivery. The Seller excludes any lia-bility in damages as a result of delays. 

3.2 In case of impediment to perform due to circumstances beyond the Seller's control, such as, but not limited to, mobilisation, warfare, blockade, riots, unrest, strikes, lock-out, energy crisis, shortage of goods, fire, epidem-ics, public restrictions, such as export and import prohi-bitions and introduction of disposal schemes, and imper-fect or delayed deliveries from sub-suppliers and other circumstances, the Seller shall be entitled to delay deliv-ery until such time when the impediment to perform has ceased to exist without becoming liable for delays. The Seller shall inform the buyer as soon as possible about the commencement and the termination of the impedi-ment to perform. 

3.3 The Seller shall be entitled to deliver in part by succes-sive deliveries. In such case, each delivery shall be con-sidered an individual delivery. Therefore, the Buyer shall not be entitled to terminate the remaining part of the agreement if a partial delivery should be delayed or otherwise be in default.

7.1 The Buyer shall immediately and no later than 7 days from receipt of a delivery initiate the necessary examin-ations of the goods in order to demonstrate any defects. Such examinations, however, shall take place before the Buyer includes the Seller's products in other products. The Buyer shall immediately notify the Seller in writing of any defects discovered. In case of any lacks or defects occurred in transit and immediately ascertainable on de-livery, the Buyer shall notify the carrier in question and ensure that the driver notes and signs for the ascertain-able lacks and defects on the delivery note.

All complaints shall contain a specification of the defect.

Costs for dismantling and shipment of the goods supplied shall be borne by the Seller only if the dispatch is at the initiative of the Seller. 

8.2 The Seller's delivery of substitute goods, supplementary delivery or remedial measures shall take place within a reasonable period of time.

The Seller's liability for any de-livery is in all circumstances limited to the invoice price of that delivery. Furthermore, the Buyer shall not be en-titled to claim a proportional reduction of the purchase price. 

8.5 The above limitation of liability shall not apply if the Seller has acted grossly negligent or with wilful intent. 

9.1 The Seller shall only incur product liability pursuant to the stipulations in the Danish Product Liability Act (pro-duktansvarsloven) that may not be dispensed with by agreement.
