GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE

The Buyer’s attention is drawn in particular to the provisions of clause 7.

1. Basis of contract

1.1 These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Buyer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

1.2 The Order constitutes an offer by the Buyer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order and any applicable Specification are complete and accurate.

1.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when Euroview issues a written acceptance of the Order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.

1.4 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising produced by Euroview and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Euroview’s catalogues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods referred to in them. They shall not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force.

1.5 A Quote for the Goods given by Euroview shall not constitute an offer. Euroview reserves the right to withdraw a Quote at any time.

1.6 Once an Order is accepted, the Buyer cannot cancel the Order. If the Buyer does cancel the Order, it shall be obliged to pay all costs reasonably incurred by Euroview as a result of processing the Order.

2. Goods

2.1 The Goods are described in the Specification.

2.2 To the extent that the Goods are to be manufactured in accordance with a Specification supplied by the Buyer, the Buyer shall indemnify Euroview against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by Euroview in connection with any claim made against Euroview for actual or alleged infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with Euroview’s use of the Specification. This clause 2.1 shall survive termination of the Contract.

2.3 The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that the Product Standards set out in the Quote are compatible with the Buyer’s requirements.

2.4 Euroview reserves the right to amend the Specification if required by any applicable industry guidelines, statutory or regulatory requirement and amend the price accordingly. Euroview shall notify the Buyer in any such event.

2.5 Optical, dimensional, other physical properties and colour of the Goods are subject to Euroview’s manufacturing specifications, tolerances, and/or standards, details of which are available from Euroview on request.

3. Delivery

3.1 Unless otherwise agreed, Euroview shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree (Delivery Location) at any time after Euroview notifies the Buyer that the Goods are ready.

3.2 Delivery shall be completed either:

3.2.1 on collection of the Goods by the Buyer from Euroview’s premises; or

3.2.2 when the Goods are free from all vehicle transit restraints and ready for unloading by the Buyer at the Delivery Location.

3.3 Where delivery is made to the Delivery Location:

3.3.1 The Buyer shall promptly provide unloading facilities, and when the Goods are free from all vehicle transit restraints and ready for unloading, the Buyer shall unload the Goods promptly. The Buyer shall be responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by Euroview for any failure to comply with this clause 3.3.1.

3.3.2 The Buyer is responsible for the unloading of Goods, and Euroview shall not be responsible for any damage to the Goods however caused. Any assistance provided by Euroview or its agents in respect of unloading is entirely at the Buyer’s risk.

3.3.3 The Buyer must inspect the Goods as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 3 days of delivery). If the Buyer detects any defects in the Goods, it shall submit to Euroview a written notice of defect outlining the details of each defect on each individual item supplied. Euroview shall carry out an investigation within 14 days of receipt of written notice. If Euroview accepts that the Goods are defective, then it will at its sole discretion either replace any items free of charge, or credit the Buyer with the value of the affected Goods.

3.4 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. Euroview shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Buyer’s failure to provide Euroview with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

3.5 If Euroview fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. Euroview shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Buyer’s failure to provide Euroview with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

3.6 If the Buyer fails to accept delivery of the Goods, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or Euroview’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods: Euroview AG Ltd – Terms and Conditions – Nov 23 2

3.6.2 Euroview shall store the Goods until actual delivery takes place, and charge the Buyer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

3.7 Euroview may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel or withhold payment in respect of any other instalment.

3.8 If Euroview delivers more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered, the Buyer may not reject them.

3.9 The Buyer shall return all pallets, frames, stillages and all other distribution equipment (the Distribution Equipment) to Euroview within 28 days of the completed delivery.

4.3.1 the Buyer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 4.2;

4.3.2 the defect arises because the Buyer failed to follow Euroview’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, commissioning, installation, use and maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same;

4.5 The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.

5.1 The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer on the completion of delivery.

5.2 Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until Euroview receives payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods that Euroview has supplied to the Buyer in respect of which payment has become due, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums (and any interest which has accrued).

5.3 Until title to the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall:
