1. General
Only the
underneath General Terms of Sale apply to all offers, orders and
deliveries. Alterations of these terms, or supplements made to them as
well as oral arrangements only become binding for OUTSOURCINCHILE
INTERNATIONAL LLC or its subsidiaries OUTSOURCINC CHILE LTDA and
OUTSOURCINC AMERICA LATINA S.A. (Hereafter
OUTSOURCINC) after a written confirmation by OUTSOURCINC. The general
terms of sale of the Buyer are explicitly excluded, unless agreed
otherwise in writing. Orders only become binding after a written
confirmation by OUTSOURCINC whereby "written" is also meant the use of
printed, scanned or facsimiled signing when the Buyer accepts these
General Terms.
2. Offers or
quotations (hereafter offers)
All offers are
made free of engagement by OUTSOURCINC, unless otherwise explicitly
indicated. The price stated in the offer is based on the prices, rates,
wages, taxes and other cost price factors at the time of the offer. In
the event of an increase in these factors, OUTSOURCINC is authorized to pass this on to the
originally offered price, even if an agreement was already made. In such
a case, the Buyer has the right to cancel the agreement. The stated
delivery times are without obligations and they never apply as a
deadline.The
Buyer is not authorized to contact the supplier, as stated in the
offers, directly in any form or by any means.
An agreement
is established if the Buyer accepts the offer made by OUTSOURCINC. All
responsibilities by OUTSOURCINC with regard to the preliminary phase are
excluded.
3. Delivery
As soon as the
goods have left the company or warehouse of OUTSOURCINC - or in case of
untimely collection - have been made available for dispatch to the
Buyer, all risks including the transport risks are transferred to the
Buyer.
In case of
exceeding of the delivery time, the Buyer will lay down, in writing, a
reasonable term in which the delivery can still take place. Claims on
damages because of late delivery are limited to the net invoice value of
the goods that were not delivered on time, except in the case of intent
or conscious recklessness on the part of OUTSOURCINC or their managers.
Force majeure,
lack of raw material, strikes, unforeseen difficulties in the company or
during shipping, as well as other hindrances for which OUTSOURCINC
cannot be held accountable release OUTSOURCINC from their obligation to
deliver for the time period during which these circumstances and the
consequences thereof occur. If the agreed term is exceeded by more than
two months, the Buyer and OUTSOURCINC are authorized to annul the
agreement, for as far as it has not yet been executed.
If the
economic life in the country of the Buyer is seriously disrupted as a
result of war, civil war or similar events, OUTSOURCINC is authorized to
annul the agreement, for as far as it has not yet been executed.
Resale of the
delivered goods using markup and packaging material made available by
the Buyer, is only permitted after prior permission from OUTSOURCINC.
4. Payment
In addition to
the agreed price, the Buyer is obliged to pay the legally stipulated
sales tax , VAT or any other applicable tax.
The
installment dates are strictly time limited; the Buyer is in legal
default if these installment dates are exceeded. If no installment date
was agreed upon, the day of delivery counts as the date of payment.
In case the
Buyer pays too late, the Buyer owes –without prejudice to OUTSOURCINC’s
other rights - an interest of at least 1% - per month, as well as the
reasonable costs for acquiring extrajudicial settlement to be
established . As soon as the Buyer is in default, OUTSOURCINC is
authorized to annul the Agreement. If delivery takes place in
installments,
OUTSOURCINC is
also authorized to demand payment in advance for goods that still have
to be delivered. In case an order is cancelled by the buyer, OUTSOURCINC
may challenge the cancellation of the order and reserves the right the
retain all or part of the prepayment.
The retaining
or settling of claimable amounts by the Buyer is only possible on the
basis of claims laid down in legal verdicts, or in the case of claims of
the Buyer that are recognized in writing by OUTSOURCINC.
Costs related
to the Agreement that have arisen in the country of OUTSOURCINC,
including levies and taxes, and that were not known at the time of
closing the Agreement, will be at the expense of the Buyer.
In case the order is less than 2500 USD a surcharge of 150 USD will apply.
If the agreed
upon currency is not the currency of the country of OUTSOURCINC, and if
the exchange rate of this currency which applies in the country of the
Seller deviates more than 3% from the rate that applied at the date on
which the Agreement was closed, this will be passed on to the purchase
price. In that case, OUTSOURCINC and the Buyer are entitled to annul
that part of the Agreement for which no deliveries have yet taken place.
5.
Reservations of title
Goods
delivered by OUTSOURCINC remain the property of OUTSOURCINC until the
moment of settlement in full of all that which OUTSOURCINC demands from
the Buyer on the basis of the delivery of goods, including a possibly
outstanding current account balance. In that case, the Buyer is not
authorized to pawn or mortgage the goods.
If the Buyer,
in spite of the claimability of the demand, does not pay within a
reasonable period of respite, or in case of imminent insolvency of the
Buyer, at the request of OUTSOURCINC, the Buyer will make the goods to
which the reservation of title applies, available to OUTSOURCINC. The
taking back of goods for which a reservation of title applies, does not
mean that the Agreement is dissolved by OUTSOURCINC.
At the request
of the Buyer, OUTSOURCINC will refund one or several securities to be
selected by OUTSOURCINC, if the value of the provided securities exceeds
the claims by more than 10%.
The Buyer is
obliged to insure the goods to which the reservation of title applies,
according to the requirement of good business sense, and at the request
of OUTSOURCINC, the Buyers should indicate that such insurance has been
taken out. The Buyer already transfers the rights that result from such
an insurance now and henceforth, as a security to OUTSOURCINC.
At the request
of the Seller, the Buyer is obliged to cooperate in measures which serve
to guarantee the rights of the Seller.
6. INCOTERMS
The INCOTERMS
of the International Chamber of Commerce apply to all common terms in
the business used by OUTSOURCINC, such as “FOB” or “CIF” as they can be
heard and read on the date on which the Agreement is closed.
7. Complaints
Complaints
should be submitted in writing and at the latest thirty days after
receipt of the goods - and in case of defects that can observed on
the outside, immediately after discovery - stating the invoice and
packaging unit or container.
For as long as
OUTSOURCINC has not accepted the complaint in writing, the liabilities
of the buyers remain intact. In case of substantiated complaints
submitted in accordance with this provision, OUTSOURCINC will offer a
reasonable reduction of the purchase price and/or, at the choice of
OUTSOURCINC, replacement of the goods to which the complaint is related.
If the Buyer
wants to process the goods in any way, or resell them in spite of the
apparent defects, all rights of the Buyer with respect to the matter
expire.
8. Liability
Claims of the
Buyers arising from non-compliance with the contractual obligations, as
well as claims arising from any unlawful act, are excluded, unless
OUTSOURCINC or its employees have acted in a deliberate or consciously
reckless way.
Claims of the
Buyers arising from a guarantee of certain characteristics of the goods
are excluded, unless the guarantee has been made in writing, or if the
purpose was to prevent the actual damage.
In any case,
the liability is limited to the amount of the invoice of the delivery to
which the liability relates to.
9. Brands and
trademarks
In the event
where goods are sold under a brand name or trademark this brand or
trademark may not be used for products manufactured with these goods,
without prior permission from OUTSOURCINC.
10. Other
provisions
International
Abritration law
applies to this agreement.
The place of
delivery and the place of payment are the statutory place of business
of OUTSOURCINC. Disputes arising from the agreement will exclusively be
dealt with by the competent courts in the District where OUTSOURCINC is
domiciled. However, OUTSOURCINC is authorized to take legal action
through any legal body in the statutory place of business of the Buyer.
The mere fact
that (parts of) provisions or components of these conditions are, or,
become non-binding, does not damage the binding character of the other
(parts of) provisions or components.
