General Terms and Conditions of Sale, Delivery and Payment We sell and deliver only on the basis of and exclusively on the basis of the following terms and conditions of delivery and payment. No other GTCs are accepted even when signing supplier contracts.
Offers and conclusion

1.1. Offers of the seller are subject to change. All contracts require the written acceptance of the seller. The written form requirement may only be waived in writing. 1.2. Our offers, deliveries and services are exclusively based on these General Terms and Conditions (GTC). They shall also apply as a framework agreement for all future contracts concerning the goods offered by the Seller, even if they are not expressly agreed again. 1.3. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of business or purchase of the Buyer shall only become part of the contract if and to the extent that we have expressly agreed to their validity. This requirement of consent shall apply in any case, for example even if we carry out the delivery to the Buyer without reservation in the knowledge of the Buyer’s GTC. 1.4. Individual agreements made with the Buyer in individual cases (including collateral agreements, supplements and amendments) shall in any case take precedence over these GTC. A written contract or our written confirmation shall be authoritative for the content of such agreements. 1.5. The buyer must accept deviations in quality, quantity, weight or other deviations customary in the trade, even if he refers to brochures, drawings or illustrations when placing his order or if the purchase is made on the basis of a sample or trial, unless expressly designated as binding.

Cost estimates, drawings and technical documentation
2.1 Cost estimates, drawings, technical documents and the like shall remain the property of the Seller, even if they have been handed over prior to an order and are still proposals for a problem solution. The documents or parts thereof may not be reproduced in any form or otherwise brought to the attention of third parties without the express permission of the Seller. The use is permitted internally only within the contractual limits. Copyrights shall remain with the Seller. 2.2 The use by the Seller of the documents to be provided by the Buyer, such as drawings, gauges, samples, etc., must not conflict with any third-party property rights. The Buyer expressly declares that it shall indemnify and hold the Seller harmless in the event of any claims arising from such industrial property rights by third parties. The seller is not required to verify the existence of third party property rights himself.

Shipping costs for samples are paid by the buyer. The samples remain property of the seller. Metal surcharge costs charged by the manufacturer shall be borne by the Buyer. 2.4 Delivery period / reservation of self-delivery / partial deliveries / Seller’s default 2.5 Delivery periods and dates shall be stated to the best of Seller’s knowledge and as accurately as possible in the order confirmation. The delivery period shall commence upon receipt of the order confirmation by the Buyer, but not before the Buyer has provided the documents, approvals, releases to be provided by the Buyer and not before receipt of an agreed down payment. 2.6 If the acceptance of the contractual offer of the Buyer does not take place anyway by delivery of the goods, the delivery period shall be stated in the order confirmation. If the delivery period is not specified in the order confirmation, it shall be a maximum of four weeks after conclusion of the contract. 2.7 Should we fail to meet an agreed delivery date, the Buyer shall grant us a reasonable period of grace which shall in no case be less than four weeks. 2.8 Even in the case of bindingly agreed deadlines and dates, we shall not be liable for hindrances to delivery and performance due to force majeure or other events unforeseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract which make delivery considerably more difficult or impossible for us – (this also includes difficulties in procuring materials which occur subsequently, operational disruptions, strikes, lockouts, lack of personnel, lack of means of transport, official orders, etc., even if they occur at our suppliers or their sub-suppliers) – and for which we are not responsible. If the hindrance is not only of temporary duration, we are entitled to withdraw from the contract. In the event of hindrances of temporary duration, the delivery or service deadlines shall be extended or the delivery or service deadlines shall be postponed by the period of the hindrance plus a reasonable start-up period. If the impediment lasts longer than three months or if the Buyer cannot reasonably be expected to wait, he shall be entitled, after setting a reasonable grace period, to withdraw from the contract with respect to the unfulfilled part. 2.9 We shall be entitled to make partial deliveries if the partial delivery is usable for the Buyer within the scope of the contractual purpose, the delivery of the remaining ordered goods is ensured and the Buyer does not incur any additional expenses or costs as a result (unless we agree to bear such costs). 2.10. If the promised service is not available because sub-suppliers do not supply us or do not supply us in time or the stock of the relevant products is exhausted, we shall be entitled to provide a service equivalent in quality and price. If the provision of a service equivalent in price and quality is not possible, both parties may withdraw from the contract and need not provide the promised service. In this case, we undertake to inform the customer immediately of the unavailability and to refund any payment already made by the customer without delay.

Strikes, lockouts (also at suppliers and sub-suppliers of the Seller) and other cases of force majeure for which the Seller is not responsible but which must be notified to the Buyer shall release the Seller from the performance of the contractually assumed delivery obligation for the duration of their occurrence. This shall also apply to unforeseen operational disruptions that are unavoidable for the Seller. If the Seller is unable to perform on time due to these events, the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract. 2.12. If the Seller is not supplied by its supplier with the goods ordered by the Buyer on time or correctly, despite the conclusion of a congruent hedging transaction, without the Seller being at fault, the Seller may withdraw from the contract with the Buyer. If the incorrect or untimely self-delivery concerns only individual items of a uniform order of the Buyer, the Seller shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract, unless the Buyer declares in writing an interest in partial performance of the contract. If the latter is the case, the Seller shall be released from its obligation to perform with respect to the items affected by the incorrect or untimely self-delivery without requiring a separate declaration by the Seller. The Buyer shall be notified of the incorrect or untimely self-delivery. If the Seller does not withdraw from the contract, it shall be released from its obligation to perform for the duration of the untimely or incorrect self-delivery. 2.13. In the event of default on the part of the Seller, the Buyer may withdraw from the contract after expiry of the reasonable period of grace set by him, which must be at least 4 weeks and must be accompanied by notification that the Buyer will refuse performance after expiry of the deadline, if the goods have not been reported ready for dispatch by the time the deadline expires. The period shall commence upon receipt by the Seller of the Buyer’s written notice of extension. 2.14. Partial deliveries are permissible. We reserve the right to deliver the goods before the agreed delivery date.

Prices
3.1 The prices stated are net and apply to deliveries ex works of the supplier. 3.2 Discounts shall not be granted if the customer is in arrears with the payment of previous deliveries. 3.3 Prices are valid only for 48 hours and must be confirmed separately in case of longer offer processing. 3.4 Packaging will not be charged separately. 3.5 In case of a purchase price in foreign currency, the buyer bears the risk of a deterioration of the exchange ratio of the currency against the Euro for the period from the conclusion of the contract to the receipt of the amount by the seller.

If the Buyer defaults on payment of a purchase price in a foreign currency, the Seller shall be entitled to demand payment in Euro instead of the foreign currency. In this case, he may choose between the foreign exchange purchase rate of the due date and the foreign exchange purchase rate of the payment date. 3.7 For all orders over €10.000.- a bank guarantee must be presented or advance payment must be made.

Payments, set-off and right to refuse performance
4.1 Payments are due immediately without any deduction, unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation or the invoice. If a payment term is specified, the invoice amount must be available to the seller from the end of the payment term. Cash on delivery shipments are payable without any deduction. 4.2 Bills of exchange or checks shall only be accepted on account of performance, never in lieu of performance. With the issuance of the bill of exchange or the check, the ownership of the bill of exchange or check shall also pass to the Seller. The costs of discounting and collection shall be borne by the Buyer. 4.3 If the Buyer is in default, interest at the rate of 12% per annum shall be charged until payment is made. The agreement of a longer payment term than according to 6.1 shall not affect the maturity of the debt according to 6.1. The Seller shall only postpone the assertion of the claim. For the period between the due date and the expiry of this payment period, the Buyer shall owe interest at the rate of 5% per annum. 4.4 If the Buyer is still in default despite a reminder, he shall be obliged to pay all extrajudicial costs for the assertion of the claim, such as costs for the investigation of a delivery address, credit information and the costs of legal reminders according to the tariff. 4.5 If the financial circumstances of the Buyer deteriorate significantly after the conclusion of the contract, e.g. if bankruptcy or composition proceedings are instituted against the Buyer’s assets, or if such a deterioration in assets only becomes known after the conclusion of the contract, the Seller shall not be obliged to make the delivery until the Buyer has made payment or provided adequate security for the purchase price claim. The same shall apply if checks of the Buyer are not honored or bills of exchange issued by him are protested. In the event of a request by the Seller for payment concurrently, the Buyer shall declare its willingness to do so within two weeks and to make such payment or to provide the appropriate security, otherwise the Seller may withdraw from the contract. 4.6 The Buyer may only offset claims that have been expressly acknowledged or have become res judicata or with the written consent of the Seller. The Buyer shall also have a right to refuse performance due to alleged defects of the goods and the statutory right of retention only with respect to such claims or with the written consent of the Seller. The commercial right of retention according to § 369 HGB is excluded. 4.7 Employees and travel representatives of the seller may only accept payments if they have power of collection.

Credits will not be settled in cash.

Hazard transmission
5.1. The Seller shall fulfill its obligation at the place of its principal place of business. If the buyer wishes the goods to be delivered to another place, he shall bear the risk and the costs of the shipment and transport of the goods, starting with dispatch ex works. 5.2. The goods shall only be insured against the risks specified by the Buyer – as far as possible – at the Buyer’s express request and at the Buyer’s expense. 5.3. If the shipment is delayed through no fault of the seller, the goods shall be stored at the expense and risk of the buyer. Notification of readiness for shipment is equivalent to shipment. 5.4. The buyer bears the sole risk from the moment of installation of the goods, i.e. as soon as the buyer installs or otherwise uses the goods delivered by the seller, the buyer bears the warranty for himself and his customers. 5.5. The risk shall pass to the buyer as soon as the consignment has been handed over to the person carrying out the transport or has left our warehouse for the purpose of shipment.

Notice of defects and warranty / rectification by the seller
6.1 The Seller shall provide warranty for defects of the goods in accordance with the following provisions: 6.2 Defects of the delivered goods shall be notified in writing immediately after delivery – in case of hidden defects immediately after their discovery but no later than 30 days after receipt of the goods by the Buyer. The Seller may rectify justifiably objected goods up to two times or make a replacement delivery. The place of performance for repairs or replacement deliveries shall be the Seller’s principal place of business. The Buyer shall therefore bear the risk and the costs of shipping the goods. 6.3 If the repair or replacement delivery fails even the second time, the Buyer may demand an appropriate reduction of the purchase price. If the defect in the goods is not merely minor, the Buyer may also demand rescission of the contract instead of a price reduction. These rules shall also apply if the Seller is not able to repair or replace the defective goods without defects within 30 days from the date of receipt of the defective goods at the Seller’s head office. 6.4 The Seller is a mere commercial agent and does not bear any warranty for the function or origin of the goods. 6.5 The warranty period is 30 days from the date of delivery of the goods to the Buyer. The warranty period shall be extended by the duration of any repair or replacement work. After expiration of the warranty period, the Buyer shall also have no DIGITAL COMMODITY&HEALTHCARE TRADING GMBH | Headquarters: Gymnasiumstrasse 6/1, 1180 Vienna, Austria | Tel.: +43 1 924 18 61 0| www.dcht.at | Fn 377167h | ATU 67106446| Commerical Court of Vienna | EORI ATEOS1000041663| General Manager: Mrs. Lea Saes| BANKNAME | ERSTE BANK | IBAN AT58 2011 1841 4799 7700| SWIFT GIBAATWWXXX Gymnasiumstrasse 6/1 1180 Vienna Austria MAIL: office@dcht.at TEL: +43 1 924 18 61 0 HTTP: www.dcht.at recourse claims against the seller, if the seller warrants to a consumer because of defects in the goods or recourse because one of the buyer’s subordinates has provided a warranty to a consumer. 6.6 The delivery bill (packing slip) must be returned with all shipments and returns. 6.7 We are NEVER liable for damages. 6.8 The Buyer acknowledges that the Seller, as a commercial reseller, is regularly unaware of the specific application for which a customer is purchasing the ordered goods and, taking into account the organizational, financial and technical effort that can reasonably be expected of him, he can only carry out the simplest random incoming goods tests (ESD container, original packaging, legibility of the label, applicable type of goods, visual inspection of random samples). Unless otherwise agreed with regard to the type, value and risk potential of contractual goods, tests with regard to the quality of goods infringing third party rights or scrap products, the suitability of the contractual goods for certain purposes, email queries with label check and comparable quality tests shall not be part of the contractual obligations of the Seller. 6.9 Unless otherwise agreed for individual goods, the warranty period is 6 months and begins with the date of delivery. The above limitation period shall also apply to Buyer’s non-contractual claims for damages based on a defect in the goods, unless the application of the regular statutory limitation period would result in a shorter limitation period in individual cases. However, the statutory limitation periods shall always apply to claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses arising from intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body and health, liability under the Product Liability Act, fraudulent intent and warranty. 6.10. The Buyer shall not be entitled to any rights of retention with respect to our claims not relating to the delivery item on account of its aforementioned rights. We shall be entitled to make the subsequent performance owed dependent on the Buyer paying the purchase price due. However, the Buyer shall be entitled to retain a part of the purchase price which is reasonable in relation to the defect. 6.11. The Seller shall not be liable for damage caused by him or his vicarious agent through slight negligence. 6.12. The Seller shall not be liable for any consequential damage arising from the sale of its goods.

Retention of title
7.1 The delivered goods shall remain the property of the Seller until the purchase price has been paid in full. Dealer customers may resell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business.

Clause 10.2 (assignment of claims in advance) shall apply mutatis mutandis. 7.4 In the event of default in payment or other significant breaches of contract by the Buyer, the Seller shall be entitled to take back the reserved goods while maintaining the contract and to return them only concurrently with payment of the purchase price. In this case, the Buyer hereby assigns to the Seller any claims for return against third parties. The Seller shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract in the event of default in payment by the Buyer. The Buyer irrevocably permits the Seller to enter the Buyer’s premises where the reserved goods are stored in order to enable the Seller to remove the goods or to inspect the goods. 7.5 If the value of the Seller’s security exceeds its claims by 20% on a sustained basis and including the advance assignments, the Seller shall be obliged, at the Buyer’s request, to release securities granted to it at its, the Seller’s, discretion until the value of the remaining securities exceeds the Seller’s claims by less than 20%. The reference value for the calculation of the value of the security shall be the respective sales price of the Seller, less 10% if the goods are no longer as good as new. 7.6 The Buyer is not permitted to pledge the reserved goods or to assign them as security without the written consent of the Seller.

Life support systems
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the Deliverables are not suitable for use in life support equipment or systems, human implants, nuclear facilities or systems, or other applications where product failure may threaten life or cause catastrophic consequential damage. The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against any claims of third parties resulting from a breach of this notice.

Export
Certain goods are subject to national and various international export controls and embargo provisions. Their export is allowed only with the permission of the competent authorities. The buyer shall pass on this notice to his customers and thus, as far as it is within his power, ensure compliance with the provisions up to the end user. The seller points out the punishability of a violation of the provisions.
