Article 1 - Scope of Application

1.1. These General Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) apply to all offers and quotations by Boska-USA Corporation and/or any of its affiliated companies (“Boska”), the use of Boska’s websites, and in general the business relationship and all contracts between Boska and its Customers (which means for the purpose of these Terms: any natural person, company and/or corporation with whom Boska  and its employees deal in the course of its business, including representative(s), agent(s), successor(s) and including visitors of Boska’s website).

1.2. No other terms and conditions shall be binding upon Boska unless accepted by it in writing. Boska expressly rejects any general terms and conditions used by Customer. Customer may issue a purchase order for administrative purposes only. Additional or different terms and conditions contained in any such purchase order will be null and void and do not bind Boska.

1.3. Wherever Boska does not insist on strict compliance of these Terms, this will not mean that such provisions do not apply, or that Boska will waive the right to demand strict and timely compliance with such provisions.

1.4. Wherever these Terms refer to the (supply of) goods, this will also mean the provision of services and performance of work of any nature whatsoever, as may be applicable.

1.5. If any provision of these Terms or any other agreement between the parties is held to be null, void or otherwise ineffective or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, (i) such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original meaning of the terms or agreement in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions shall remain in full force and effect.

Article 2. Offers, Products, Prices and Taxes

2.1. All offers by Boska are non-binding and may be revoked at any time without liability to damages or expenses incurred by Customer, unless Boska stated otherwise in writing. Any amendments made by Boska in writing or verbally, shall entail a new offer, automatically revoking the previous offer. Any amendments by Customer of a Boska offer, will be deemed a new offer by Customer, which Boska  may accept or reject at its sole discretion. An offer expires without further notice if the relevant goods to which the offer relates have become unavailable.

2.2. Product configurations and prices are subject to change at any time. Calculation, transcription, typographical and other errors in offers, prospectuses, publications, brochures, order confirmations, invoices and other documents submitted by Boska, will not bind Boska. Test models, drawings and other samples shown or provided are only non-binding indications of the products in question

2.3. Prices are based on delivery ex warehouse/works, unless otherwise agreed in writing, and do not include accommodation, shipping, delivery, service, postage, administrative, packaging, insurance, and any other additional costs, costs of quality control and import duties. All listed and quoted prices are exclusive of, and Customer shall pay, all taxes, duties, levies or fees, or other similar charges imposed on Boska or on Customer by any taxing authority (other than taxes imposed on Boska’s income), related to Customer’s order, unless Customer has provided Boska with an appropriate resale or exemption certificate for the delivery location, which is the location where Boska transfers title or possession of products to Customer.

2.4. A multi-part offer will not bind Boska to execute part of the offer for a corresponding part of the quoted price. Offers will not automatically apply to future orders.

2.5. Agreements and/or commitments entered into and/or made by or on behalf of Boska, will only bind Boska if these are expressly confirmed in writing by duly authorized officers of Boska.

Article 3. Payments

3.1. All payments by Customer shall be effected in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated on Boska’s invoice. Customer agrees to pay, without the right to set-off any amounts, all invoiced amounts within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date. However, all amounts will be due immediately, in case Customer terminates or suspends all or a substantial portion of its business activities, becomes insolvent, admits its inability to pay its debts, or in case of the voluntary or involuntary filing of a petition for or adjudication of bankruptcy of Customer under any Federal, state or municipal bankruptcy or insolvency act, the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or liquidator, or any act or action constituting a general assignment by Customer of its properties and/or interest for the benefit of creditors.

3.2. Where payment is not made within the terms set forth in this article, contractual interest shall be owed at a rate of 1.5% a month, or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is higher, with effect from the first day following expiration of the payment term referred to in this article; part of a month shall be considered a full month. If  Customer is in default with its payment obligations toward Boska, it will be liable to pay all collection costs, including reasonable attorney and court expenses.

3.3. Payments made by Customer shall always be used first to meet all the interest and costs owed and subsequently for the settlement of claims under the agreement which have remained outstanding for the longest period of time, even when Customer specifies that the payment relates to another claim.

3.4. Customer shall not be entitled to refuse to discharge or to suspend the discharge of its payment obligations on account of alleged defects of products or on any other account whatsoever.

3.5  Boska may require a purchase money security interest or any other form of security, including advance payments, at all times. If requested by Boska, Customer will authorize Boska to file a financing statement reflecting a purchase money security interest and Customer will record such purchase money security interest on its books. If Customer does not meet Boska’s request to provide security, Boska shall be entitled to cancel any order and terminate any agreement or to suspend its obligations.

Article 4. Orders, Shipping, and Delivery

4.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery shall be made ex warehouse/works. Boska is entitled to make partial deliveries. Customer must accept delivery of products during normal business hours, failing which all costs arising thereof (including storage charges and freight charges) shall be charged in conformity with Boska’s rates or local rates.

4.3 The risk of loss or damage of products shall pass to Customer at the moment of delivery ex warehouse/works, even if Boska has not yet transferred the ownership thereof. Title to a product will transfer to Customer immediately after the full purchase price has been received by Boska, provided that Customer is not otherwise in default of the purchase agreement and these Terms.

4.8. If Customer fully or partially cancels an order, section 5.3 will apply.

4.9. If Boska provided a fixed price, Boska will nevertheless have the right at all times to increase such price, if the increase is the result of a mandatory obligation under applicable laws or regulations, or is due to an increase in the price of raw materials, wages, etc., or on other grounds that were not reasonably foreseeable at the time of making the offer.

4.10. The Customer may cancel an order, if the price increase mentioned in the previous paragraph is 10% or more. However, Boska will not be liable for Customer’s related expenses or damages. If the goods have already been delivered, they should be returned immediately after the cancellation, according to Boska’s instructions and at Boska’s expense. Customer remains fully responsible for deterioration, damage, theft, etc., until the products are returned and received by Boska.

Article 5. Inspection, Acceptance of Products, Returns

After acceptance, Customer shall have no right to reject the products for any reason or to revoke acceptance. Customer hereby agrees that a seven (7) day period is a reasonable amount of time for inspection and revocation.

THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ALLEGEDLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IS THE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF SUCH PRODUCTS OR PARTS OF SUCH PRODUCTS, AT NO COSTS FOR CUSTOMER.

5.3 Customer may return products with a minimum value of $100 within seven (7) days of receipt after giving advance written notice to Boska, if: (i) it is in new condition, without Customer’s price tags, suitable for resale in its undamaged original packaging and with all its original parts and (ii) it has not been used, installed, modified, rebuilt, reconditioned, repaired, altered or damaged. All returns shall be subject to the following deductions: (i) cost of putting items in saleable condition; (ii) transportation charges, if not prepaid; and (iii) handling and restocking charges. Discounted products may not be returned, unless agreed by Boska in writing. Custom made products may not be cancelled or returned, and no refund will be made.
