GENERAL TERMS OF SALE AND DELIVERY
OF EXCICHEM LTD
- General Application:
- Unless otherwise agreed by an end user, customer, reseller or non-appointed distributor and Excichem in writing, these TERMS shall apply to all sales and deliveries to end users, customer, reseller and non-appointed distributors who have not signed an individual purchase agreement or authorized distributor agreement with Excichem (the end user, customer, reseller or non-appointed distributor with whom Excichem is contracting is hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”).
- These TERMS shall apply to all business transactions between Excichem and the Customer regardless of whether they are referenced in future contracts. Contrary, additional or differing TERMS of the Customer shall not apply unless expressly agreed to in writing by
Excichem. These TERMS apply even in the event that Excichem makes a delivery to the Customer without reservations while being aware of the Customer’s conflicting or deviating TERMS.
- These General Terms of Sale and Delivery (“TERMS”) govern all requests, offers, (purchase) orders and agreements regarding the sale and delivery of all goods (“Goods”) from or on behalf of Excichem Limited (“Excichem”) to a any customer (“Customer”), and apply to all
dealings between Excichem and Customer.
- These TERMS supersede any and all prior oral and written quotations, communications, agreements and understandings of the parties and shall apply in preference to and supersede any and all TERMS of any order placed by Customer and any other TERMS submitted by Customer. Neither Excichem’s commencement of performance nor Excichem’s delivery of Goods shall be deemed or constituted as acceptance of any of Customer’s TERMS. If these TERMS differ from any TERMS of Customer, these TERMS and any subsequent communication or conduct by or on behalf of Excichem, including without limitation, confirmation of an order and delivery of Goods, constitutes a counter-offer and not acceptance of such TERMS submitted by Customer. Any communication or conduct of
Customer which confirms an agreement for the delivery of Goods by Excichem, as well as acceptance by Customer of any delivery of Goods from Excichem, shall constitute an unqualified acceptance by Customer of these TERMS.
- These TERMS may only be varied or waived by written agreement between Excichem and Customer concluded by Excichem or on behalf of Excichem by a duly authorised representative.
- The Customer shall purchase products from Excichem in its own name and for its own account. If the Customer resells the products, the Customer shall sell the products in its own name and for its own account.
- By contracting on the basis of these TERMS, Customer agrees to the applicability thereof in respect of future agreements between itself and Excichem, even if this is not expressly stated. Excichem shall be entitled to update and/or amend these TERMS regularly and by
and as of the moment of notifying Customer of such update or amendment or by sending Customer the updated or amended Conditions, these revised Conditions shall apply to all dealings between Excichem and Customer.
- The Customer agrees to provide correct information on all purchase orders of products, including complete product numbers, options, quantities and any special instructions. The Customer assumes sole and absolute liability for any failure, by the Customer, to provide
complete and accurate information when ordering products;
- The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Excichem and its legal successors and assigns from and against all suits, losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney fees) that Excichem may sustain or incur as a direct result of any claim against
Excichem based upon breach of contract, breach of warranty, strict liability in tort or any other theory of law brought by the Customer’s officers, agents, employees, legal successors and assigns, by the Customer’s customers, by end users, by auxiliary personnel (such as
freight handlers, etc.) or by other third parties, if and to the extent directly arising out of the Customer’s breach of its obligations under these TERMS;
- Excichem and Customer agree that valid, enforceable and binding obligations may result from electronic means of communication. Any electronic communication between Excichem and Customer shall be considered to be “in writing”.
- If any term or provision of these TERMS shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity and enforceability of the remainder of these TERMS shall not be affected.
- Quotations, orders and acceptance
- Quotations and tenders, made by Excichem in whatever form, are without any obligation, are not binding upon Excichem and merely constitute an invitation to Customer to place an order. All quotations issued by Excichem are subject to change without notice.
- Orders are not binding until accepted by Excichem in writing (“Excichem’s Confirmation”), resulting in an individual sales agreement regarding the so ordered Goods (“Sales Agreement”). Excichem is always entitled to refuse an order without indication of its
reasons, or to accept an order under the condition of prepayment or collect on delivery or as expressly agreed in writing.
- Purchase orders are non-binding on Excichem. The Customer is bound to its purchase order for two (2) weeks. The silence of Excichem with regard to offers, purchase orders, requests or other declarations of the Customer shall not imply consent or agreement unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. In individual cases, the purchase order will be confirmed by Excichem by written acknowledgement. Any acknowledgement of purchase order created electronically which does not include a signature or name shall be deemed to constitute written form. Where the acknowledgement of purchase order contains obvious mistakes or clerical or calculation errors, it shall not be binding on Excichem.
- Oral statements and agreements made by Excichem’s employees, officers, representatives or agents are not binding upon Excichem unless and only to the extent that such oral statements are confirmed in writing.
- Analytical reports and other descriptions of products in certificates of analysis, catalogues, technical data sheets or other provided product documentation are only approximate unless explicitly referred to as binding. They shall not constitute any agreement or warranty of any characteristics of the products unless a director of Excichem has expressly qualified a description of a product as warranty of agreement of certain characteristics and so notified the Customer in writing.
- Any samples supplied to Customer are supplied solely for information purposes and in no way imply any express or implied conditions or warranties as to quality, description, fitness for purpose or merchantable quality of the Goods, and Customer shall be deemed
to have satisfied itself as to such matters prior to ordering the Goods.
- Excichem reserves all rights of ownership in all intellectual property rights in all offering materials. Such materials shall not be disclosed to any third parties unless otherwise provided in writing between Excichem and the Customer.
- Prices
- Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing (a) all prices will be communicated once per month and are subject to change without notice, (b) Excichem’s price shall be its price in effect at the time of shipment and (c) all prices include costs in respect of production, sale
and delivery of the Goods, export or import duties.
- Unless fixed prices have expressly been agreed or unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Customer shall purchase the products at Excichem’s list price in effect on date of purchase order acknowledgement (or date of purchase order if no acknowledgement is provided) as reflected on Excichem. Excichem has the right to change the list prices of its products from time to time, without notice to the Customer.
- Payment
- Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Sales Agreement, Customer shall pay within 30 days after the date of invoice excluding any deductions, without prejudice to Excichem’s right to stipulate an advance payment at the conclusion of the Sales Agreement. Excichem reserves the right to withhold shipment for non-payment. All payments shall be made without any deduction on account of any taxes and free of set-off or counterclaim. Customer acknowledges that Excichem shall not be liable for any delays in delivery or incomplete deliveries due to such withheld shipments or deliveries in instalments.
- In the event payment has not been effected by Customer within the period stated above, Customer shall be in default by operation of law, without any further notice of default being necessary. All outstanding invoices of Excichem shall become due and payable immediately in case of an ordered suspension of payment, or in case of (an application for) bankruptcy of Customer. Excichem may, without prejudice to any other rights of Excichem. All costs and expenses incurred by Excichem with respect to collection of overdue payments (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees, court costs and other expenses
of litigation) shall be for Customer’s account. In the event of overdue payment, Excichem may suspend delivery of other Goods sold to Customer until the moment Customer has complied with all its payment obligations.
- Every payment by Customer shall in the first place serve to pay the judicial and extra-judicial costs and the interest owed by it and afterwards shall be deducted from the eldest outstanding claim. Any complaint with respect to the invoice must be notified to Excichem
within eight (8) days after the date of invoice. Thereafter Customer shall be deemed to have approved the invoice. In case of delay in payment the Customer shall pay interest in default in the amount of eight percent (8%) above the applicable base rate of interest. The right to assert further damages remains unaffected.
- The Customer is only entitled to set off counterclaims if they are final and non- appealable. The Customer shall have no right of retention unless its counterclaim results from the same contractual relationship. Excichem is entitled to deliver against prepayment.
- All prices are net prices, that is, excluding statutory value added tax. All consumer, sales or indirect taxes, customs, examination and acceptance fees and all other taxes, fees or charges of any kind whatsoever which are imposed by public authorities or allocated to the
business transaction between Excichem and the Customer shall be paid by the Customer in addition to the prices indicated on the offer or the invoice. Excichem is not obliged to notify the Customer of potential taxes or fees that may arise.
- Scope of Delivery / Terms of Delivery and Acceptance
- Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Sales Agreement, all deliveries of Goods to Customer shall be based on delivery condition DDP [place of destination] ex Incoterms 2010. Customer shall accept delivery and pick up the Goods within 72 hours after Excichem’s
notification that the ordered Goods are ready to be delivered in accordance with the agreed delivery condition, and upon completed payment of the Goods in accordance with Article 4.1 of these TERMS. All costs related to the carriage, storage, handling, demurrage and
administration of Goods not accepted by Customer within the agreed period shall be for the account of Customer.
- Excichem is entitled to make partial deliveries in order to perform its contractual obligations unless partial delivery is not of any interest to the Customer and the Customer has referred to this fact in its purchase order.
- Excichem reserves the right to make alterations to the purity or specifications of the products to the extent such alterations are not significant.
- In no event shall Excichem be liable for any kind of indirect or consequential damages or costs caused by any delay in delivery. Delay in delivery of any Goods shall not relieve Customer of its obligation to accept delivery thereof. Deviations in quantity of Goods
delivered from that stated in the Sales Agreement shall not give Customer the right not to accept the Goods or to claim damages or costs.
- Unless otherwise separately agreed by the parties, Excichem has the right, in its discretion, to determine the method of shipment, i.e., delivery can be made by air freight, train, ship or road transport.
- In the event Customer refuses to accept the Goods, Excichem shall be entitled to store these Goods for Customer’s risk at a location to be determined by Excichem. All costs related to the carriage, storage, handling, demurrage and administration of Goods refused by
Customer shall be for the account of Customer. Alternatively, Excichem shall be entitled to terminate the Sales Agreement in the manner described herein, and to sell and deliver the Goods to a third party. In such case Customer shall be liable for any costs and damages
suffered by Excichem as a result of the non-acceptance by Customer.
- Customer warrants that it is possession of all relevant permits and licenses with regard to the import or transit of the Goods, and holds Excichem harmless against any claims, taxes, fees, penalties, etc. of third parties, including any foreign, domestic or European
(governmental) authorities.
- All delivery obligations of Excichem are subject to the reservation “while stocks last.” Excichem is therefore entitled to terminate the contract when stocks available to Excichem are exhausted. If stocks are only partially exhausted and the entire request of goods as
described in the purchase order of the Customer cannot be satisfied, Excichem is entitled to distribute the available stocks at its reasonable discretion to one or all customers. If Excichem can only satisfy part of the Customer’s request for goods as described in the
purchase order, the Customer is entitled to cancel the purchase order.
- The delivery period shall be deemed satisfied if the products have left the facility or Excichem has notified its readiness to dispatch. Delivery is subject to timely and proper delivery to Excichem by its own suppliers; otherwise Excichem is entitled to terminate the
contract.
- Transfer of risk and title
- The risk shall transfer to the Customer as soon as the products have been delivered in accordance with these TERMS. This shall also apply in case of partial deliveries or if Excichem has assumed additional services such as transport costs. Excichem shall insure the
products at the Customer’s request and expense by means of a transport insurance against the risks to be specified by the Customer.
- Without prejudice to the provisions in these TERMS, all Goods delivered at any time by Excichem remain the property of Excichem until Customer has paid all its debts owed to Excichem on any ground whatsoever, including interest and costs. Prior to complete
payment, Customer is not authorised to pledge the Goods to a third party or to transfer possession of it. In the event of non-performance of the obligations of Customer herein or in the event of suspension or termination of the Sales Agreement, Excichem is entitled to
reclaim or to have returned any Goods from their current location, without the necessity of any authorisation from Customer. As additional security for the satisfaction of Customer’s debts to Excichem, regardless of the basis of those debts, Customer shall pledge to Excichem at Excichem’s first request all amounts owed by Customer’s customers in connection with the resale of the Goods. If Excichem wishes to exercise its rights mentioned above, Customer hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorises Excichem or a third party nominated by Excichem to enter all locations where Excichem’s property is situated to reclaim its property.
- In the event of seizure or other interventions by third parties the Customer shall immediately inform Excichem in writing and provide all necessary information, and the Customer shall inform the third party of the ownership rights of Excichem and assist
Excichem with all measures taken for the protection of the products subject to retention of title. The costs incurred shall be borne by the Customer.
- The Customer hereby assigns all claims resulting from the resale of products including all ancillary rights to Excichem, regardless of whether the products subject to retention of title have been processed or not. Excichem hereby accepts this assignment. The Customer is
hereby revocably authorized to collect the claims assigned to Excichem in its own name in trust on behalf of Excichem. The collected amounts shall be passed on to Excichem without delay. Excichem shall be entitled to revoke the authorization to collect claims and the right to resell the products of the Customer if the Customer does not properly comply with its payment obligations towards Excichem, defaults in payment, ceases payments, or if any action is taken by or against the Customer under applicable insolvency legislation.
- In the event of default in payment by the Customer, Excichem shall be entitled, without prejudice to its other rights, to take back the products subject to retention of title and, after timely warning, be entitled to use the products subject to retention of title elsewhere for the purpose of satisfying its due claims against the Customer. In addition, Excichem shall, after expiry of a reasonable deadline, be entitled to terminate the contract. The Customer shall grant Excichem immediate access to the products subject to retention of title and shall surrender the products.
- Delivered products shall be accepted by the Customer regardless of any claims for defects if the defects are insignificant.
- Storage, Handling, Use of the Products and Information Duty
- The products of Excichem are intended to be used for the purposes of laboratory research and may not be used for any other purpose unless otherwise indicated on the product label, in the catalogues of Excichem or in other documents provided to the Customer. In particular products of Excichem may not be used in the areas of food production and pharmaceutical products, in medical devices or in cosmetic products. The Customer is obliged to inform its customers, as applicable, of such limitations.
- Excichem does not examine the products for their safety and effectiveness when contained or used in food, pharmaceutical products, medical devices, or cosmetics, or for commercial or other applications, unless otherwise declared in the documents provided by Excichem. Customer acknowledges that it must, properly test, use and distribute the products purchased from Excichem and/or any and all materials manufactured by using products purchased from Excichem. It is the responsibility of the Customer to examine existing risks
and dangers and to carry out any further research (if necessary) in order to become aware of the dangers that may arise from the use of products purchased from Excichem. The Customer shall warn its support staff (such as transport workers) against the risks and dangers that may be related to the storage, use or handling of the products.
- The products of Excichem may be governed by the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulations and other regulatory provisions. The Customer is responsible for complying with all regulatory provisions in connection with
the storage, handling and use of substances purchased from Excichem.
- The Customer shall implement adequate screening and other procedures to ensure that there is no unauthorized sale to or use by its own customers with respect to the products purchased from Excichem. Supporting documentation requested or required by Excichem or
by applicable laws or regulations, such as end-user declarations or licenses shall be maintained by the Customer and made available to Excichem upon request.
- The Customer shall immediately inform Excichem if it becomes aware of any accidents or incidents in connection with the products which result in personal injuries or damages to property; the Customer is obliged to fully cooperate with Excichem in order to clarify and identify the cause for such accidents or incidents. It shall provide Excichem with all explanations, reports and tests which have been made or carried out by the Customer or which have been made available to the Customer by third parties. The provision of such information to and the examination of the same by Excichem do not give rise to liability of Excichem for such accidents or incidents.
- Examination and conformity to specifications
- On delivery in accordance with these TERMS and during the handling, use, processing, carriage, storage and sale of the Goods (“Use”), Customer shall examine the Goods and satisfy itself that the Goods delivered meet all contractual requirements.

- Complaints regarding volume shortages or delivery of type of Goods not specified in the Sales Agreement (misshipments) shall be made in writing and must reach Excichem not later than 10 days from the date of delivery.
- Failing such complaints, the quality and quantity specifications of the Goods as stated on the bills of lading, waybills, other transport documents, packing lists, invoices or other documents relating to the Goods shall be deemed to be correct, and the Goods shall be deemed to be delivered in accordance with all contractual requirements. Any complaints received by Excichem after the periods stated above shall not have any legal consequence. Goods that Excichem consents or directs in writing to be returned shall be returned to Excichem at the risk of Customer, freight pre-paid to the destination directed by Excichem.
- Defects regarding quantity or quality in parts of the Goods stated in the Sales Agreement do not entitle Customer to reject the entire delivery of the Goods. Complaints, if any, do not affect Customer’s obligation to pay as defined in Article 4. Upon receipt of a notice of nonconformity, Excichem may suspend all further deliveries until the complaints are established to be unfounded or until the non-conformity has been totally cured. Use or processing of the Goods shall be deemed to be an unconditional acceptance of the Goods and a waiver of all claims in this respect.
- Warranty and liability
- EXCICHEM SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM ANY USE OR FAILURE OF THE PRODUCTS, EVEN IF EXCICHEM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF WORK IN PROGRESS, DOWN TIME, LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, FAILURE TO REALIZE SAVINGS, LOSS OF PRODUCTS OF CUSTOMER OR OTHER USE OR ANY LIABILITY OF CUSTOMER TO A THIRD PARTY ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH LOSS, OR FOR ANY LABOR OR ANY OTHER EXPENSE, DAMAGE OR LOSS OCCASIONED BY SUCH PRODUCT INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE UNLESS SUCH PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH IS CAUSED BY EXCICHEM’S NEGLIGENCE.
- Excichem warrants to Customer that, at the time of shipment, the Goods furnished hereunder will conform to the Sales Agreement.

Customer shall not return Goods unless authorized in writing by Excichem. Excichem shall have the right to inspect the Goods at Customer’s premises. Excichem shall have no obligation hereunder if the Goods have become non-conform as a result of improper storage, improper use or misapplication after delivery thereof to Customer.

Excichem’s liability shall in no case exceed – at Excichem’s option – the purchase price of the Goods or part thereof which gives rise to the claim or the replacement of such non- conform Goods by Excichem, or, for undelivered Goods, the difference between the market price and Excichem’s price. Excichem shall not be liable for penalty clauses of any description.
- Force majeure
- Neither party shall be liable in any way for any damage, loss, cost or expense arising out of or in connection with any delay, restriction, interference or failure in performing any obligation towards the other party caused by any circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, laws, regulations, legislative measures, acts of governments or other administrative measures, orders or decrees of any court, earthquake, flood, fire, explosion, war, terrorism, riot, sabotage, accident, strike, lockout, slowdown, labour disturbances, difficulty in obtaining necessary labour or raw materials, lack of or failure of transportation, breakdown of plant or essential machinery, emergency repair or maintenance, breakdown or shortage of utilities, delay in delivery or defects in goods supplied by suppliers or subcontractors (“Force Majeure”).
- Upon the occurrence of any event of Force Majeure, the party suffering thereby shall promptly inform the other party by written notice specifying the cause of the event and how it will affect its performance of its obligations. In the event of any delay, the date of delivery
shall be extended for a period equal to the time loss by reason of Force Majeure. However, should a Force Majeure event continue or be expected to continue for a period extending to more than two (2) months after the agreed delivery date, either Party is entitled to terminate the Sales Agreement without any liability to either Party.
- In no event shall Excichem be liable to the Customer for any claims, damages, costs or expenses arising out of or related to Excichem’s inability to timely ship products or fulfil purchase orders due to a force majeure event.

Any statement, representation, recommendation, advice, sample or other information of Excichem in relation to the Goods and the Use thereof shall be furnished for the accommodation of Customer only.
- Customer must utilise and solely rely on its own expertise, know-how and judgement in relation to the Goods and Customer’s Use thereof and in Customer’s application of any information obtained from the part of Excichem for the purposes intended by Customer.

- No delay on the part of Excichem in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Excichem of any right or remedy shall preclude such party from any further exercise of the right or remedy, or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

- If
- Customer is in default of performance of its obligations towards Excichem; or
