Special conditions governing purchasing or specific requirements applied by the Customer (e.g., in the Customer’s order or purchasing conditions) are not binding on PURETEQ, unless PURETEQ has expressly declared compliance with them in writing.
A PURETEQ quote is not binding unless it has been confirmed in an order confirmation from PURETEQ according to These Terms. The Customer cannot amend or cancel an order once it has been received by PURETEQ, unless PURETEQ has accepted the amendment or cancellation in writing.
Terms applicable for the following deliveries:
The above-mentioned agreements concerning delivery are, furthermore, valid, with the modifications stated in These Terms, including:

PURETEQ is entitled to make delivery up to five (5) working days before the agreed delivery date without prior notice to the Customer.
PURETEQ is entitled to make part-delivery. PURETEQ will pay any extra costs for shipping and packaging.
In the event the Customer reports a defect before the applicable deadline for complaints, the Customer shall send the product to PURETEQ by agreement with an advice note stating the nature of the complaint. Shipping and insurance shall be paid by the Customer. The product shall be returned without accessories fitted.
If the Customer has claimed a defect and it transpires that no such defect exists that is the liability of PURETEQ, PURETEQ is entitled to charge a fee for any work performed in accordance with the price list in effect at that time for consultancy work, service etc. Shipping and insurance for returning the product shall be paid by the Customer.

The agreed purchase price is due for payment at the time the order is placed.
Ex Works (Incoterms 2020).
All prices are net, excluding insurance, shipping, handling, and packaging, customs duties, any expenses for special documentation and taxes, unless otherwise agreed. If any taxes or duties are increased, or currency exchange rates fluctuate before delivery, the price will be adjusted accordingly.

Postponement lasting more than 14 days may incur a charge as a percentage of the total order value per month or part thereof. The goods will not be delivered or shipped before that amount is paid.
In addition to the terms being evident from the relevant ORGALIME document it is to be noted that an agreed delivery date from PURETEQ’s side is conditional on that all materials, documentation, and any other information, which is needed for the delivery of the service, must be in PURETEQ’s possession at the agreed date at the very latest, and if such a date has not been agreed, then at the date determined by PURETEQ.
Any inspection or testing referred to in the order shall be performed at the production site, or another location as deemed appropriate by PURETEQ, within normal working hours.
PURETEQ may obtain a credit rating for the Customer when an order is placed. If the rating is unsatisfactory, fulfilment of the order is contingent on the Customer providing surety for payment, either in the form of payment in advance or a bank guarantee.
Product information, illustrations and technical data are intended as guidance only. PURETEQ’s details are only binding when separately, specifically agreed in writing.
The Customer bears full responsibility for selection of the level of performance, including that the Customer can achieve the expected results and functionality, and that the product works in the Customer’s existing or intended operating environment.

The Customer declares that it is not involved in any activities that could expose PURETEQ to any risk of sanctions and fines according to any legislation, including (but not limited to) rules on bribery, corruption, anti-competitive activities and money-laundering.
The Customer shall compensate and indemnify PURETEQ against any claim, obligation, sanction, fine and cost arising from claims, legal proceedings and allegations arising due to the Customer’s failure to observe this provision.
If the order is intended for export, PURETEQ’s quotation and order confirmation will be contingent on the appropriate export license issued by the authorities. The final delivery date will depend on the availability of such an export license.
If the Rules are revised in a manner that correcting defects or provision of any service undertakings/sale of spare parts will violate them, PURETEQ shall be relieved of such undertakings.
In the event of a complaint, the Customer shall forward proof of delivery/handover date to PURETEQ for the product or service to which the complaint refers.

PURETEQ’s liability does not extend to damage or injury that could have been foreseen at the time the order was placed.
PURETEQ’s total liability for any loss or damage (regardless of whether due to delay, advice and/or faults) and unless PURETEQ’s liability is specifically disclaimed, is limited to the amount the Customer has paid for the product or service (or lack of the same), to which the claim refers. Regardless of the value of payment for the product or service, PURETEQ’s total liability cannot exceed the price of the product incl. shipping costs.

Restrictions on travel, movement and large gathering resulting from such Force Majeure Events and thereby making performance impossible or severely impracticable are also considered Force Majeure Events.
If complete and prompt delivery is temporarily prevented by one or more of the circumstances above, delivery will be postponed for a period corresponding to the duration of the situation, plus a period that is reasonable in the light of the circumstances for a return to normal. Delivery within the postponed delivery time shall be regarded as delivery on time in all respects.
