Different conditions laid down by the Purchaser are only valid when they have been expressly accepted by OEMSYS in writing. The Terms apply exclusively. Terms & conditions of the Purchaser which oppose or deviate from these Terms shall not be recognized by OEMSYS, save OEMSYS has expressly accepted their validity in writing. The Terms apply even if OEMSYS unconditionally executes a delivery to the Purchaser while it is in the knowledge of terms and conditions of the Purchaser which oppose or deviate from the Terms. Agreements or side letters shall only be effective when confirmed in writing by OEMSYS.

 

The prices of products sold by OEMSYS to Purchaser will be OEMSYS? applicable published prices in effect at the time Purchaser's purchase order is accepted by OEMSYS, or such prices quoted by a OEMSYS authorized representative; provided, however, OEMSYS may change the prices of products at anytime and for any reason prior to shipment.

6. Passing of risk 

The risk of goods becoming damaged or lost shall pass to the Purchaser as soon as the goods have left OEMSYS facilities, this also being the case if part shipments are made. If the OEMSYS has undertaken to deliver the goods to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall bear the risk of transportation even if Incoterms to the contrary are agreed. If shipment is delayed for circumstances for which the Purchaser is responsible, the risk shall pass to the Purchaser as from the day on which the goods are ready for shipment.

Purchaser may not delegate any duties nor assign any rights or claims hereunder without OEMSYS? prior written consent, and any such attempted delegation or assignment shall be void.  

 

Title of the goods delivered shall remain with OEMSYS until the purchase price has been paid in full. If the Purchaser is an entrepreneur, the title of the goods delivered shall remain with OEMSYS until the purchase price and all open claims resulting from the business relation with the Purchaser have been settled in full, including future claims and including obligations resulting from cheques and bills of exchange created in connection with the business relation. This reservation of title shall not be affected by certain claims being included in a current account, or in cases where an account balance is established and has been accepted. In such case the reservation of title shall constitute security for the resulting balance in our favour. The reservation of title shall expire with the settlement of these current account balance claims. 

Purchaser shall treat carefully and maintain the goods subject to reservation of title. If the Purchaser is an entrepreneur, he shall inform OEMSYS immediately of any access of a third party to the goods, such as in case of any seizure, and of any damage to or loss of the goods. Goods covered by this reservation of title shall not be pawned or assigned for security. If the Purchaser is an entrepreneur, he shall only be entitled to resell the goods if this occurs within the ordinary course of business. This right shall cease immediately if an application for the initiation of insolvency proceedings is filed or a compulsory settlement of debts (Sequestration) with regard to the assets of the Purchaser is ordered. Purchaser shall inform OEMSYS without undue delay of any change of the immediate control over the goods and of any change of Purchaser?s residential address. If the Purchaser is not an entrepreneur, he shall notify OEMSYS of a change of residential address as long as the reservation of title exists.

 

OEMSYS warrants that the products provided to the Purchaser shall for a period of one (1) year from the date of  delivery from OEMSYS facility (?Warranty Period?) meet the specifications for the products if any provided by OEMSYS and be free from defects in workmanship and material.  

In the event that the Purchaser is an entrepreneur, obvious defects must be reported to OEMSYS in writing immediately after delivery of the goods. Hidden defects must also be reported in writing immediately after their discovery. In the event that the Purchaser is not an entrepreneur, obvious defects shall be reported to OEMSYS in writing no later than within 2 weeks after delivery or performance; posting the notification within the time limit is deemed sufficient.

If the Purchaser is an entrepreneur and if the delivery or performance is defective, we shall, at our discretion, either rectify the defect or replace the defective object of delivery with one that is free of defects. If the Purchaser is a consumer, he is entitled to choose between the rectification of the defect and the delivery of an object free of defects. We shall be entitled to refuse the type of supplementary performance chosen by Purchaser if this is only possible at a disproportionate expense. If the other form of supplementary performance is only possible at disproportionate expense, we may also refuse this form. The right to reject the supplementary performance entirely shall also be applicable for OEMSYS towards Purchasers who are entrepreneurs. If the Purchaser is an entrepreneur, he shall return the object of delivery to OEMSYS for the purpose of rectification of defects at Purchaser?s costs and Purchaser?s risk. We shall, in no case, be liable for costs which result from the fact that the object of Purchase has been moved to a location different from the place of performance. At our discretion, we shall have the right to rectify the defects on the premises of the Purchaser. 

If the Purchaser is an entrepreneur, OEMSYS?s liability for products supplied by third parties shall be limited to assignment of the claims which we have against the supplier of such products, provided, however, that, when effecting such assignment, we shall make available to Purchaser all details available to OEMSYS regarding the supplier which enable Purchaser to pursue its claim. 

In the event that repair or replacement or rectification of the performance is ultimately unsuccessful, or in the event of a rejection of the supplementary performance due to disproportionate expense Purchaser has the right either to reduce the consideration or withdraw from the contract. The right to withdraw from the contract shall be excluded in case of only minor defects.

In the event that the Purchaser decides to withdraw from the contract due to a defect in quality or defect in title, and after a failed supplementary performance, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any compensation claims regarding the defect, In the event that the Purchaser decides to claim damages after repair/replacement was ultimately unsuccessful, the goods shall remain with the Purchaser unless this is to be considered unreasonable for Purchaser. The damage claim shall be limited to the difference between the purchase price and the value of the defective goods if the Purchaser is an entrepreneur. That shall not apply if the breach of contract was caused fraudulently.

If the Purchaser is an entrepreneur, in the event of a defective assembly instruction, we shall merely be obliged to provide a correct assembly instruction, and only if the goods were not assembled correctly.
