II. QUOTATIONS AND PRICES

1. All quotations and offers are without obligation. If a quotation is accepted, we are entitled to dissolve the agreement within working days of receiving the acceptance.

2. Orders which are given to intermediaries only become binding for IMS Group B.V. after they have been confirmed by the latter in writing. Insofar as IMS Group B.V. is acting as an agent, orders to supply goods will not be regarded as having been accepted until they have been confirmed in writing by the manufacturer/supplier.

3. The seller is entitled to adjust the price agreed on with the purchaser if a change is made to one of the items included within the purchase price after the conclusion of the purchase agreement but prior to delivery.

4. The seller is also entitled to correct pricing errors after sending the order confirmation.

III. CALL-OFF ORDERS

1. If call-off deliveries are to be made within a certain period of time, either periodically or in instalments, the purchaser will not be able to make any further calls for delivery of those goods if their period for delivery has expired. On the other hand, IMS Group B.V. will be entitled to proceed to make deliveries at any time after the period has expired. If no period is agreed on between the parties, the purchaser will in any case have to call off the whole order within 6 months of the date of conclusion of the agreement.

IV. ORDERS AND DELIVERIES

1. The lead times, technical specifications, dimensions, etc. specified are approximations and estimates. The seller will indicate if there is a deviation in the specification provided for the purchaser. In that case, the purchaser will be entitled to declare the agreement terminated by means of a written declaration, within 3 working days of receiving any such notification from the seller, failing which the purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the change in the seller’s specification. A deviating specification from the seller will never result in the purchaser being entitled to any compensation, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The seller is always entitled to supply goods ex works, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If required, IMS Group B.V. is prepared to mediate for the purpose of insuring the said risk. The seller is also free to choose the means and method of transport.

V. FORCE MAJEURE

1. In the case of ongoing force majeure, which must be understood to refer to any impediment beyond the seller’s control and therefore which can also include the seller’s failure to deliver, the seller will be entitled to declare the agreement terminated by means of a written declaration, in which case the purchaser will not be entitled to any compensation.

2. In the case of temporary force majeure, the seller will be entitled to postpone the delivery date or extend the period of time within which the services must be provided by the length of time during which the temporary impediment is present. In that case, the purchaser or customer can demand termination of the agreement if he can no longer be reasonably expected to accept the goods or services due to the delay, without him being entitled to compensation.
