  1. Formation of a Contract

1.1        These Terms and Conditions shall be incorporated into the Contract and shall apply to the exclusion of any conditions of the Buyer (whether included on the Buyer’s website or otherwise). These Terms and Conditions may not be varied or waived except with the express written agreement of the Seller. The failure of the Seller to enforce its rights under the Contract at any time, for any period of time, shall not be construed as a waiver of any such rights.

1.2        Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted all Terms and Conditions upon Seller’s receipt of a purchase order from the Buyer or upon delivery of the Goods(s) to the Buyer (whichever is the earlier) notwithstanding the absence of a written acceptance from the Buyer. Nothing in the Buyer’s acceptance (including in any printed form) shall modify any of the Terms and Conditions herein and any term and/or condition which are in any way inconsistent with or in addition to the Terms and Conditions hereof is expressly rejected.

1.3        All Quotations issued be Seller will remain valid for a period of 30 days from the date of issue to the Buyer.

1.4        These Terms and Conditions shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts.

 

  1. Specifications

All Goods supplied by Seller shall be in accordance with the quotation given and any further specifications or descriptions expressly agreed or listed or set out on the face of the Seller’s order acknowledgement.

The Seller reserves the right, subject to prior written notice, to make any change in the specification of the Goods, which does not materially affect the installation, performance or price thereof.

 

  1. Acceptance and Delivery

3.1        Except as otherwise expressly agreed, all deliveries hereunder will be FCA Seller’s plant via a carrier selected by Buyer at its option, or otherwise by Seller, freight collect, to Buyer and will be packed in Seller’s standard commercial shipping packages.

3.2        The Buyer will be deemed to have accepted all goods upon their delivery by Schivo to the address as specified in the order.

3.3        The Buyer shall notify the Seller in writing within five (5) working days of delivery of any short delivery or defects reasonably discoverable on careful examination.  Schivo’s sole obligation shall be, at its option, to replace or repair any defective Goods or refund the purchase price of any undelivered Goods.

3.4        Partial deliveries and related invoicing shall be permitted.  If the Buyer fails to accept delivery of the Goods within thirty (30) day period after receiving notice from the Seller that they (or any part thereof) are ready for delivery, the Seller may dispose of or store the Goods at the Buyer’s expense.

3.5        Delivery or shipping dates are approximate only and merely represent Seller’s best estimate of the time required to make delivery or shipment. Schivo will use reasonable endeavours to avoid delay in delivery on the notified delivery dates.  However, time is not of the essence and failure to deliver by the specified date will not be a sufficient cause for cancellation, nor will Schivo be liable for any loss or damage due to delay in delivery.

3.6        Where delivery of any Goods requires an export license or other authorization before shipment, Schivo shall not be responsible for any delay in delivery due to delay in, or refusal of, such license or authorization.

3.7        Seller’s obligations hereunder will be dependent upon Seller’s ability to obtain the necessary raw materials. Seller will not be liable for any loss or expense (incidental, indirect, economic, consequential or otherwise) incurred by the Buyer as a result of any delay in delivery for any reason other than arbitrary refusal by Seller to perform.

3.8        Where any Good (s) requires installation, the Buyer shall be responsible at its own cost for making the place where the Goods will be located ready for installation. Installation will not begin unless such responsibilities are completed.

 

  1. Changes and Returns

4.1        Schivo reserves the right, subject to prior written notice, to make any change in the specification of the Goods, which does not materially affect the installation, performance or price thereof.

4.2        Goods may only be returned with prior authorisation from Schivo, including the issuing of an RMA (Return Material Authorisation) number.

 

  1. Risk, Title, and Payment

In all cases, risk of loss or damage will pass to Buyer upon Seller’s delivery of the Goods to the carrier for shipment to Buyer and no loss or damage will relieve Buyer of any obligation hereunder, including payment for lost or damaged Goods.  Charges for shipping may not reflect net transportation costs paid by Seller. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any and all costs of storage incurred by Seller after the date that Seller is prepared to make shipment.

5.1        Unless otherwise stated in the order, payment of the price of the Goods comprised in each order shall be net thirty (30) days from the date of shipment.

5.2        All payments shall be in the currency agreed at time of quotation. The Buyer shall make all payments as provided herein without regard to whether the Buyer has made or may make any inspection or use of any Goods. No discounts or setoffs shall be made by the Buyer against any invoices unless approved in advance by Seller.

5.3        Title to the goods comprised in the order shall not pass to Buyer until Buyer has paid the full price, although the Seller reserves the right to sue for the price once payment becomes due notwithstanding that title may not have passed.

5.4        Any invoiced amount which is not paid when due may bear interest at the rate of 8 % per annum or the highest rate then permitted by law, whichever is the greater, until paid in full, calculated on a daily basis and compounded monthly.  Interest will be payable both before and after judgment.

5.5        Seller reserves the right to exercise any of its lawful remedies if the Buyer does not make payments when due.  The Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Seller in collecting sums due it hereunder.

5.6        This Agreement and all shipments made hereunder shall at all times be subject to the approval by Seller of the Buyer’s financial condition. If the financial condition of the Buyer at any time becomes unsatisfactory to Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, or if the Buyer fails to make any payment when due, in addition to any other rights Seller may have, Seller may defer or decline to make any shipment or shipments hereunder or may condition any such shipment upon receipt of satisfactory security or cash payments in advance.

 

  1. Price

 6.1        The sale price(s) for the Goods shall be the Seller’s quoted price (but exclusive of value-added or other taxes).  The Buyer acknowledges that the price of the Goods and other Terms have been set based on the agreed allocation of the risk for any defective Goods between the parties. The buyer further acknowledges that the pricing and terms would have been different if there had been a different allocation of the risk.

6.2        All quotations issued by Schivo for the supply of Goods and/or Services shall remain open for acceptance for the period stated in the quotation or, if none is stated, for sixty (60) days. In all other cases, prices payable are those currently in effect in Schivo´s then current price list, which may also be subject to minimum orders, or additional charges for handling, freight, packaging, insurance.

6.3        Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the prices do not include value-added tax (VAT), local sales tax, excise or other similar taxes applicable to the Goods or Services.  All such taxes shall be paid by the Buyer. If the Seller is required by law or regulation to collect such taxes, Seller will add such taxes to the sale price of the Goods.

6.4        Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the prices are exclusive of all delivery, insurance, and packaging charges. Delivery, insurance, and packaging charges will be charged separately.

 

  1. Damage in Transit

Goods damaged in transit must be notified to Seller in writing within 3 days of delivery.

 

  1. Force Majeure

This provision shall not apply to the Buyer’s obligation to pay any sums due under this Agreement.
