Sales and delivery terms

All sales, supplies and services performed by Aarhus GeoInstruments ApS, company reg.no. 41 67 48 49 (“AGI”) for you as customer ("Reseller", or "you") are exclusively governed by the terms and conditions as laid out in these Sales & Delivery Terms ("Terms") if they are not altered through explicit agreement signed by both parties.

     1. Offers & Quotations

Any price quotations provided by AGI to you shall be valid for the period stated in the quotation. If no time period is stated, then they shall be valid for 30 (thirty) days from the date of the offer. An offer quoted by AGI is not binding until AGI has received your acceptance and has issued an order confirmation in writing, cf. clause 2, and is subject to the offered items being unsold.

 

     2. Order Processing & Orders

Orders are typically processed within 48 hours after receipt. Orders placed are not binding until accepted by AGI in writing, e.g. via email order confirmation or otherwise.
 

     3. Prices

Prices in quotations do not include charges for applicable taxes, including, without limitation, direct and indirect taxes, VAT, custom duties, tolls, etc. Depending on your location AGI may be obligated to collect such taxes on the purchase price. All taxes shall be added to prices shown and you agree to pay same. Prices in quotations do not include shipping charges. AGI may adjust the purchase price if overall manufacturing costs increase due to unforeseen circumstances such as an increase in the price of raw materials, direct and indirect taxes, etc.

     4. Charges & Payment Terms

Invoices are due upon receipt of invoice and without deduction. Amounts are payable as specified on the invoice or the transaction document. You agree to pay accordingly, including any late payment fees like default interest, court and lawyers’ fees or administration costs. Any costs incurred because of delayed payment are charged to your account.

 

     5. Delivery

The purchased items (the “Products”) will be delivered to you via agreed upon shipment solution at your cost and risk. If no delivery time has been agreed in advance, AGI shall determine the delivery time. Delivery will not take place before the agreed purchase price has been received by AGI, unless otherwise agreed between the parties.

 

If AGI anticipates that it will not be able to deliver the Products on the agreed or determined delivery time, including, but without limitation, if the Products are not in stock or if the delivery time on raw materials has been extended etc., AGI may at its own discretion extend the delivery time, and shall inform you by written notice stating the reason and, if possible, the time when delivery can be expected.

 

In case (i) the delivery has been delayed more than 10 weeks from the originally agreed or determined delivery time, and (ii) the delay is attributable to circumstances within AGI’s reasonable control and/or for which AGI is undoubtedly responsible, you are entitled to send a written demand to AGI setting a reasonable final deadline for the delivery, thereby stating that you intend to terminate the agreement if delivery does not take place within this deadline. If the delivery has still not taken place within the set deadline, you are entitled to terminate the agreement by giving written notice to AGI without undue delay after the expiration of the set deadline. If you do not terminate the agreement by given notice as indicated, you are no longer entitled to terminate the agreement, and you will not be entitled to any compensation or other kinds of reimbursement due to delay on the part of AGI, unless otherwise agreed between the parties.

Your rights and remedies set out in this clause 5 relating to delay on the part of AGI are exhaustive and exclude all other remedies and claims under law or otherwise.

     6. Defects and complaints

You are obligated to carefully and thoroughly inspect the Products immediately upon delivery. If you wish to make a claim for any defects in the Products that can be ascertained by such careful and thorough inspection (non-hidden defects), you shall inform AGI in writing and describe the nature of the alleged defect immediately after the defect is or should have been discovered and no later than 7 days after the time of delivery. If you have discovered or should have discovered a defect under the inspection, but fail to give notice as indicated, you are no longer entitled to invoke such defect.

 

In case of defects in the Products that cannot be ascertained by careful and thorough inspection upon delivery (hidden defects), the complaint must be made in writing to AGI describing the nature of the alleged defect immediately after the defect is or should have been discovered by the exercise of reasonable due diligence and no later than 3 months after the time of delivery. Thus, in any event AGI’s defects liability period expires 3 months after the delivery date, after which time you are no longer entitled to invoke any defects.       

 

AGI shall in no event be liable for any defects resulting from circumstances taking place after the Products have been shipped from AGI’s address, where the risk transfers to you, including, without limitation, defects which are caused by transportation, storage, changes to the Products made without AGI’s prior written consent, inadequate maintenance, faulty treatment and the general negligence of you or third parties. Normal wear and tear or deterioration shall not be considered a defect.

 

AGI may at its own discretion determine whether to repair a defect or replace the defective Products or parts thereof. Repair or replacement shall be effected by AGI within reasonable time after AGI receives a complaint in accordance with this clause 6, and in any event within 8 weeks after receipt of such complaint. For Products or parts thereof, that are repaired or replaced, AGI shall undertake the same obligations that apply to the originally sold Products, cf. above mutatis mutandis. If AGI does not fulfill its obligation to repair or replace the defective Products or parts thereof in due time, you have the right to return the defective Products to AGI, at your cost and risk, for a full refund of the purchase price, unless otherwise agreed between the parties.

Your rights and remedies set out in this clause 6 relating to defects are exhaustive and exclude all other remedies and claims under law or otherwise.

AGI may demand that (alleged) defective Products are returned to AGI at your cost and risk. Returned products shall become AGI’s property, if replaced.
