6.2 Buyer is partly liable to comply with the recycling and electronic scrap rules and related laws and regulations. Supplier agrees to support Buyer in its waste management effort by compensating Buyer for the reasonable actual expenses incurred through the waste disposal of Supplier’s transportation and product packaging. This reimbursement will be calculated and invoiced on a quarterly basis with reimbursement invoices to be paid by Supplier to Buyer within sixty (60) days of the date of invoice or set off against any Supplier invoices in accordance with clause 9.2.

6.3 The purchase price of the Goods and/or Services is exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax (“VAT”). No extra charges shall be effective unless agreed in writing and signed by the Buyer.

Delivery of the Services shall be completed at the location specified in the Contract. If no Delivery date is provided on the Contract, Delivery of the Goods or Services shall be completed within 28 days of the date of the Contract unless a different lead time is agreed upon between the parties. If Supplier is no longer in a position to deliver the Goods or Services according to the agreed Delivery date, Supplier shall promptly and in any case within three working days notify Buyer of the existence or risk of such delay, stating the reasons for delay and providing a projected delivery date (the “Projected Date”). The Projected Date shall not be binding on the Buyer unless the same is accepted by the Buyer in writing. The Buyer shall have absolute discretion to accept or reject the Projected Date. Accordingly, time shall be of the essence and failure to deliver acceptable Goods or to provide satisfactory Services by the date stated in the Contract / Delivery Schedule shall constitute grounds for a claim by Buyer for any loss it may suffer arising in any way out of such failure and shall entitle it to cancel the Contract. Should Buyer require a shorter lead time or Delivery Schedule than those that have been agreed, Supplier shall use its best efforts to comply with such shorter lead time.

7.2 The Supplier shall ensure that each Delivery of the Goods are properly packed and secured in such a manner as to enable them to reach their destination in good condition in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of the receiving country and is accompanied with a Delivery note which shows the date of the Order, the Order number (if any), the type and quantity of the Goods, special shipping and packaging instructions (if any), special storage instructions (if any), and the outstanding balance of the Goods remaining to be delivered if the Goods are being delivered by instalments. If requested by the Buyer a Certificate of Conformance and or Origin shall be furnished by the Supplier against each separate Contract. Where the Goods or the Services include any Intellectual Property Rights of the Supplier or any third parties, Supplier shall provide a letter of authority authorising the use of those Intellectual Property Rights. Supplier will give all such assistance as may be necessary to expedite and ensure that the Goods pass through customs or such other import or export authority.

7.5 Bills of Lading for Goods from overseas must be marked “Free Inspection and Sampling Allowed”. Without prejudice to the Supplier’s obligation to effect Delivery in accordance with clause 7 hereof, Buyer may inspect and sample all such Goods before dispatch or on arrival at their destination location as instructed by Buyer. No such inspection or sampling shall constitute acceptance by Buyer of the Delivery. Should such inspection and sampling in the Buyer’s opinion prove the Goods not to be in accordance with the Contract, the Buyer shall be entitled to reject partially or entirely the Goods delivered. In the event of a rejection of a proportion of the Goods, clause 7.7 hereof shall apply. Goods so rejected shall continue to be at the Supplier’s sole risk.

7.6 The Buyer shall be entitled to reject any Goods or any portion of Goods or the performance of the Services which in its opinion do not fully comply with the Buyer’s specifications. Such opinion shall be based on full inspection or quality control at the Buyer’s option. Detailed advice of all Goods or Services rejected will be sent to the Supplier who shall be entitled to examine them within three days from the date of dispatch of the rejection notifications. Thereafter the Buyer shall be entitled to return the rejected Goods to the Supplier at the Supplier’s risk and expense and shall not be obliged to make a contract with a carrier on any particular or reasonable terms. Clause 7.7 hereof shall apply in the event of a rejection of a proportion of the Goods.

7.7 In the event of a rejection of all or any portion of Goods or the performance of any of the Services pursuant to clause 7.5 or 7.6 hereof, the Buyer shall notify the Supplier whether it wishes the Supplier to replace the rejected Goods or re-perform the Services (and if so within what period but otherwise upon terms of the original Order unless amended). If the Buyer shall notify the Supplier that it does not wish the Supplier to replace the rejected Goods or re-perform the rejected Services the Buyer shall be entitled to cancel the Contract in respect of the said portion and obtain supplies elsewhere, perform the Services itself or have any third party provide equivalent Services, charging any difference in price (in addition to any other loss suffered arising out of the Supplier’s breach of Contract) to the Supplier.

7.8 If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods or Services on time as stipulated in clause 7.1 or on the Order in addition to any other claim the Buyer may have, Supplier shall pay Buyer a contractual penalty in the amount of 5 % of the purchase price of the delayed Goods or Services per each week of delay up to a maximum value of 20% of the purchase price of the delayed Goods or Services. The parties confirm that this sum represents a genuine pre-estimate of Buyer’s loss.

 

8. Transferência do risco e do título

Where Goods are collected by a carrier hired by the Buyer (which collection shall not prejudice the Supplier’s obligation to Delivery in accordance with clause 7) an additional copy of the dispatch notification must be handed to the carrier when the Goods are collected. Where cash discounts are available for prompt payments a corresponding statement should accompany the invoice. An invoice for the performance of the Services shall only be issued by the Supplier on completion of the performance of the Services by the Supplier and acceptance by the Buyer.

9.2 The Buyer shall pay correctly rendered invoices within 90 days of receipt of a valid invoice. Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated in writing by the Supplier. Buyer may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amount owing to it by Supplier against any amount payable by the Buyer to the Supplier. Supplier shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against Buyer in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.

9.3 If the Supplier delivers less than the quantity of the Goods ordered or does not fully perform the Services, and the Buyer accepts the Delivery, a pro-rata adjustment shall be made to the invoice.
