All Contracts are personal to the Customer and may not be assigned.
2.2 No amendment or addition to these Conditions shall form part of any Contract unless agreed to in writing. Such amendment will entitle the Company to adjust the price and any delivery dates appropriately. Should any of these Conditions conflict with any conditions stated in the Customers order then these Conditions shall prevail absolutely.
2.3 Any advice or recommendation given by the Company or by its employees or agents to the Customer or its employees or agents as to the storage, application or use of the Goods which is not confirmed in writing by the Company as followed or acted upon entirely at the Customer’s own risk and accordingly the Company shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation which is not so confirmed.
2.4 No order submitted by the Customer should be deemed to be accepted by the Company unless and until confirmed in writing by the Company’s authorised representative. No order which has been accepted by the Company may be cancelled by the Customer except with the written agreement of the Company and on terms that the Customer shall indemnify the Company in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs (including the cost of all labour and materials used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by the Company as a result of cancellation.

The Containers are to be used exclusively for the transport of the Goods and not for any other purpose or use.
4.2 The risk of loss or damage to the Containers shall pass to the Customer upon delivery and shall pass back to the Company only after the Containers have been collected by the Company or its agents, or delivered to the Company’s premises (whichever is the earlier), unless otherwise agreed.
4.3 The Company shall be responsible for the return transport and carriage of the Containers. The Customer shall notify the Company immediately when the Containers are emptied of the Goods. 4.4 In the event the Containers are not returned promptly the Company reserves the right to charge replacement costs to the Customer.

5.2 Unless otherwise specified prices are ex the Company’s UK premises, include the cost of packing the Goods in accordance with the Company’s normal practice to protect against damage or deterioration under normal transport conditions for delivery and exclude valued added and any other tax which will be added to all invoices.
6 Payment
6.1 Payment is due in full (without any withholding set-off or counterclaim being made for any reason whatsoever) and must be paid within 30 days from the invoice date provided that the Company may at any time, whether before or after acceptance of an order, in respect of any order or any instalment require payment in advance of or upon delivery of any instalment. Without prejudice to the Company’s other rights and remedies the Company shall be entitled to interest on the amount outstanding at the rate of 4% above the base rate for the time being of Lloyds Bank Plc calculated from day to day from the date upon which payment becomes due to the date of the actual payment and for the avoidance of doubt the payment terms set out above or otherwise agreed shall be of the essence of the contract.
6.2 Should the customer make default in any payment or commit an act of bankruptcy or be the subject of a bankruptcy petition or execute an assignment for the benefit of his creditors or being a company enter into voluntary or compulsory liquidation or suffer a receiver to be appointed over all or any part of his or its assets, then without prejudice to any other rights or remedies the Company may cancel any undelivered or uncompleted portion of the Contract or cancel any other contract with the Customer and stop any of the Goods in transit and may without prejudice to any other rights demand immediate payment of any outstanding amount which may or may not be due and payable.
7 Property in Goods
7.1 Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk the full legal and beneficial ownership in the Goods shall remain with the Company and shall not pass to the Customer until the Company has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by the Company to the Customer whether under this Contract or otherwise.
7.2 Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer shall hold the Goods as the Company’s fiduciary agent and bailee and shall keep the Goods separate from those of the Customer and third parties, and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as the Company’s property.
7.3 Until the property in the Goods passes to the Customer the Company shall be entitled at anytime to require the Customer to deliver the Goods to the Company and if the Customer fails to do so forthwith upon demand to enter upon any premises of the Customer or any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods.
8 Delivery
8.1 Delivery shall occur upon the delivery of the Goods to the Customer’s UK premises unless otherwise agreed in writing.
8.2 Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and the Company accepts no liability whatsoever for any loss or damage resulting from delay howsoever the same shall have been caused and for the avoidance of doubt the time of delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract.
8.3 Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Company to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claims by the Customer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
9 Risk of Loss
Risk of loss, deterioration and damage to the Goods shall pass to the Customer when the Goods or any instalment of them is delivered.
10 Acceptance of Goods
10.1 The Goods shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Customer thirty (30) days after delivery unless:

10.1.2 In the case of a defect not discovered within the eight-day period, notwithstanding careful examination, becoming apparent thereafter the Customer provides the Company with a written report of a defect sent to the Company without delay and in any event within the thirty (30) days after delivery.
10.2 Any action taken under this clause as set out above gives no right to refuse acceptance of further deliveries under the same or any other contracts.

If delivery is not refused, and the Customer does not notify the Company accordingly the Customer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods and the Company shall have no liability for such defect or failure and the Customer shall be bound to pay the price as if the Goods had been delivered in accordance with the Contract.
11.2 Where any valid claim in respect of any of the Goods which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Goods or their failure to meet specification is notified to the Company in accordance with these Conditions, the Company shall be entitled to replace the Goods (or the part in question) free of charge or, at the Company’s sole discretion, refund to the Customer the price of the Goods (or a proportionate part of the price), but the Company shall have no further liability to the Customer.
11.3 Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by the Company’s negligence the Company shall not be liable to the Customer by reason of any representations, or implied warranty condition or other terms or any duty at common law or under the express terms of the Contract for any consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit or otherwise) costs, expenses or other claims for consequential compensation whatsoever which arise out of or in connection with the supply of the Goods or their use or resale by the Customer except as expressly provided for in these Conditions.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE, SWEDEN

ALLMÄNNA LEVERANSBESTÄMMELSER
antagna av
Sveriges Färgfabrikanters Förening och Sveriges Limleverantörers Förening 2004-01-01
Nedanstående bestämmelser gäller såvida parterna inte skriftligen enas om annat. Bestämmelserna kan ändras endast genom skriftlig handling undertecknad av parterna.

1. SLUTANDE AV AVTAL
Av säljaren lämnad offert eller annat meddelande, som annars vore att anse som anbud, gäller utan förbindelse om inte annat uttryckligen angetts i offerten eller meddelandet.

Lämnar köparen beställning till säljarens representant eller agent, blir säljaren bunden av avtal i enlighet med innehållet i dessa leveransbestämmelser och beställningen, om inte säljaren inom tio dagar från det han fick kännedom om beställningens innehåll, meddelar köparen att säljaren inte accepterar beställningen.

2. AVLÄMNANDE OCH FARAN FÖR GODSET
Om inte annat angivits i säljarens ordererkännande skall godset anses avlämnat, då det tillhandahålles leveransklart vid säljarens fabrik eller lager. Faran för godset övergår till köparen, då lastning av godset på transportfordon vid säljarens fabrik eller lager påbörjas, dock att, om avtransport fördröjes av köparen, faran skall anses ha övergått då godset har avlämnats.

3. LEVERANSTID
Anges leveranstid som viss tidsrymd, skall den räknas från den dag då avtalet slöts.

4. SUCCESSIV LEVERANS
Avser avtalet successiva leveranser (delleverans), har köparen inte rätt att vid försening av delleverans eller vid fel eller brist i delleverans, häva avtalet annat än till den del det avser den ifrågavarande delleveransen.

5. FÖRSENING
Finner part att han inte kan hålla avtalad tidpunkt för leverans (delleverans), mottagande av godset, eller annan parts åtagande, skall - i den mån annat inte avtalats - den andra parten omgående underrättas därom.

Beror förseningen på annan omständighet än vad som anges i punkt 15 nedan och medför den väsentlig olägenhet för den part som inte svarar för förseningen och den andra parten insåg eller borde ha insett detta, kan denne häva avtalet i dess helhet eller, om fråga om delleverans, såvitt avser den delleverans som berörs.

Försenad leverans berättigar inte köparen till skadestånd
med mindre säljaren visar grov oaktsamhet och köparen kan visa att förseningen förorsakat betydande skada.

6. TID FÖR FRAMSTÄLLANDE AV KRAV l ANLEDNING AV DRÖJSMÅL
Önskar köparen häva köpet eller begära skadestånd på grund av dröjsmål skall köparen skriftligen meddela säljaren detta senast en vecka från avlämnandet.

7. FEL OCH BRIST l GODSET
Avtalad kvantitet får över- eller underskridas med 10% och sådan avvikelse skall ej anses som
fel eller brist.

Är levererat gods behäftat med fel eller brist skall godset - om part så begär och det med rimliga medel är praktiskt möjligt - utbytas mot felfritt gods eller bristen fyllas. Om felet inte avhjälpts eller bristen fyllts inom skälig tid, har köparen rätt till ett mot felet eller bristen svarande avdrag på köpeskillingen eller, om felet eller bristen är väsentlig och säljaren insåg eller borde ha insett detta, rätt att häva avtalet.

Säljarens skyldighet att ersätta köparen för skada som denne åsamkats som en direkt följd av fel eller brist i godset, är begränsad till ett belopp som motsvarar priset för det levererade godset (delleveransen). Visar köparen att han som en direkt följd av fel eller brist i godset haft kostnad för extra arbeten avseende till exempel borttagning av felaktigt gods eller applicering av levererat felfritt gods, är säljaren därutöver skyldig att utge ersättning därför, dock högst med ett belopp motsvarande tre gånger värdet av det levererade godset
(delleveransen).

Säljarens ansvar omfattar inte skada som kan ha orsakats av oriktig användning eller osedvanligt bruk av godset, såsom dess användning på material eller dess utsättande för påverkan, av till exempel väder och fuktighet, för vilket godset inte är avsett. Säljarens ansvar för fel eller
brist omfattar inte heller normal förslitning eller försämring och gäller - såvitt parterna inte avtalat om annat - inte längre än ett år från avlämnandet.

Utöver vad som föreskrivits ovan har säljaren inte något ansvar för fel eller brist i godset. Säljaren är sålunda inte skyldig att på grund av fel eller brist i godset utge någon ersättning till köparen för produktionsbortfall, utebliven vinst eller annan indirekt skada. Denna begränsning av säljarens ansvar gäller dock inte om han gjort sig skyldig till grov vårdslöshet.

8. REKLAMATION FÖR FEL OCH BRIST
Köparen skall skriftligen meddela säljaren fel eller brist i godset omedelbart eller senast inom en vecka från det köparen märkt eller bort märka felet eller bristen.
Underlåter köparen det, är säljaren befriad från ansvar för felet eller bristen.

Erhåller säljaren underrättelse om fel i godset eller om köparen märkt eller bort märka att godset var felaktigt äger säljaren kräva att köparen upphör med användandet av godset. Köparen skall självmant upphöra med att använda gods, som köparen förstår eller bör förstå omöjliggör ett fackmässigt arbete eller kan förorsaka skada. Upphör inte köparen att använda godset, då detta
begärts eller ändå bort ske, är säljaren befriad från allt annat ansvar för ifrågavarande fel än att leverera felfritt gods.

Om köparen, senast vid tiden för avtalets ingående skriftligen upplyst säljaren, att det levererade godset är avsett att användas i entreprenad som skall godkännas vid slutbesiktning och vid vilken tidpunkt slutbesiktningen skall äga rum, skall vid fel i godset reklamation, trots vad som angivits i första stycket, anses ha skett i rätt tid om köparen skriftligen meddelar säljaren detta senast inom
en månad från den uppgivna tiden för slutbesiktning.

9. RETURER
Returer mottages endast efter i förväg träffad överenskommelse.

10. ANSVAR FÖR GODSETS SKADEBRINGANDE EGENSKAPER (PRODUKTANSVAR)
Säljarens information beträffande godset är baserad på laboratorieförsök eller användningstekniska försök och är endast vägledande vid valet av produkt, arbetsmetod och användningsområde och utgör ingen garanti för godsets lämplighet för visst ändamål.

Säljaren ansvarar inte i något fall för skada, som kan drabba köparen till följd av att godset förorsakat skada på annan egendom tillhörande köparen av vad slag de vara må.

Säljaren är heller inte ansvarig gentemot köparen för ersättningsanspråk från köparen, som grundas på skadeståndskrav från tredje man, däri inräknat hos köparen anställd personal, till följd av sakskada eller personskada annat än i sådana fall, då köparen enligt tvingande lag haft att svara för detta och köparen enligt sådan lag har rätt att regressvis föra anspråket vidare på säljaren och förutsatt att säljaren beretts tillfälle att samråda med köparen vid handläggningen av ärendet.

Säljaren svarar i enlighet med tvingande lag i de fall tredje man ställer anspråk direkt emot säljaren grundade på skadebringande egenskaper hos godset. Köparen skall dock i sådana fall ersätta säljaren i den mån skadan uppkommit till följd av att köparen åsidosatt säljarens anvisningar för användningen av godset eller skadan annars helt eller delvis är en följd av köparens handlande eller underlåtenhet.

11. PRISJUSTERING
Har bestämt pris avtalats och införs därefter export- eller importavgift, tull, skatt på export, import och leverans eller annan liknande pålaga eller sker ändring härav, skall, om pålagans införande eller ändring inte uttryckligen beaktats i avtalet, priset ändras i motsvarande mån.

Genomförs efter avtalets ingående, men före leverans, devalvering eller revalvering, skall priset på parts begäran justeras i den mån devalveringen/revalveringen påverkat säljarens tillverknings - eller inköpskostnader för den vara som skall levereras.

12. MERVÄRDESSKATT
Köpeskillingen innefattar inte mervärdesskatt.

13. BETALNINGSVILLKOR
Såvida parterna inte enas om annat, skall betalning vara säljaren tillhanda senast trettio dagar efter fakturadatum. Erlägges ej betalning på förfallodagen, utgår dröjsmålsränta med en räntesats som med lägst tre procentenheter överstiger den av Riksbanken vid var tid fastställda referensräntan.

Förorsakar köparens dröjsmål med betalning säljaren kostnad i form av kurs-, inflations- eller devalveringsförlust eller uppkommer därigenom andra kostnader såsom kostnader för betalningspåminnelser med mera, skall köparen ersätta säljaren för dennes kostnader.

14. INSOLVENS m m
Finns skälig anledning antaga att köparen inte kommer att fullgöra sina betalningsskyldigheter,
äger säljaren rätt att kräva att godtagbar säkerhet ställs. Sker detta ej utan dröjsmål äger säljaren
skriftligen häva avtalet såvitt avser icke levererat gods. Säljaren är berättigad att häva köpet på grund av köparens dröjsmål med erläggande av betalning även efter det att godset kommit i köparens besittning.

15. FORCE MAJEURE
Skulle till följd av omständigheter såsom arbetskonflikt av vad slag de vara må, brand, explosion eller annan allvarlig olyckshändelse, naturkatastrof, krig, uppror, myndighetsbeslut, omfattande driftstörningar hos parten, utebliven leverans från underleverantör eller råvarubrist, onormal stegring av råvarupriser eller med de uppräknade jämställd omständighet, säljarens möjligheter att fullgöra respektive mottagarens möjligheter att mottaga leverans hindras eller avsevärt försvåras, är säljaren respektive köparen, om omständigheterna inte bort beaktats vid avtalets ingående och ej heller parten rimligen kunnat undanröja omständigheternas menliga inverkan,
berättigad att uppskjuta leverans (delleverans) under så lång tid som erfordras för att undanröja verkningarna av sådan omständighet.

Skulle denna tid överstiga två månader, äger vardera parten rätt att helt eller delvis häva avtalet beträffande de leveranser som skulle ha skett under ifrågavarande tid.
Detta gäller även om sådan omständighet som avses ovan inträffar efter avtalad leveranstid.

Part som vill begagna sig av ovannämnda rättighet, skall utan uppskov skriftligen underrätta den andra parten härom.

Part är inte skadeståndsskyldig vid hävning helt eller delvis av avtalet på grund av omständighet som angivits i denna punkt.

16. TVIST
Tvist i anledning av avtalet skall avgöras i Sverige genom lag om skiljeförfarande, och enligt svensk lag utan tillämpning av dess internationella privaträttsliga regler.

Part äger dock att ansöka om betalningsföreläggande vad avser fordran för levererat gods som lämnats obetald. Skulle ansökan om betalningsföreläggande bestridas i rätt tid och önskar part föra tvisten vidare skall detta ske genom skiljeförfarande som får påkallas även sedan målet
om betalningsföreläggande avskrivits.

Framställer part krav som sammanlagt inte avser högre belopp än 75.000 kr exkl. ränta, inkassokostnader och rättegångskostnader kan part i stället väcka talan vid allmän domstol.
