General Terms and Conditions of Supply – REGO-FIX AG

1. General

These general conditions of supply shall be applicable on all supplies of REGO-FIX AG. They shall be binding if declared applicable in the offer or in the order acknowledgement. Any conditions stipulated by the customer which are in contradiction to these general conditions of supply shall only be valid if expressly acknowledged by REGO-FIX AG in writing. Changes in construction due to improvements may at any time be introduced.

2. Prices

Unless otherwise agreed, all prices are net, EXW ex works, in the specified currency, without any deductions.The packaging will be charged to the customer. The packaging is non-returnable. Pallets, duly returned to REGO-FIX AG within 10 days from date of delivery and still in good condition will be credited to the customer. Any and all additional charges, such as, but not limited to, freight charges, insurance premiums, fees for export and other permits shall be borne by the customer. Likewise, the customer shall bear any and all taxes, fees, customs duties, levies and the like which are levied out of or in connection with the contract. Such expenditures, if paid by REGO-FIX AG, shall be invoiced separately to the customers.

An appropriate price adjustment shall apply in case
– the delivery time has been subsequently extended due to any reason stated in Clause 5; or
– the nature or the scope of the agreed supplies or services has changed.
We reserve the right to charge a handling fee for small orders.

3. Terms of payment

Payments shall be made by the customer at the domicile of REGO-FIX AG within 30 days from the date of invoice, without any deduction for cash discount, expenses, taxes, fees and the like. The obligation to pay is fulfilled insofar as REGO-FIX AG has placed the items at its free disposal at the domicile of REGO-FIX AG. The dates of payment shall also be observed if transport or delivery is delayed or prevented due to reasons beyond the control of REGO-FIX AG. If the customer delays in the agreed terms of  ayment, it shall be liable, without reminder, for interest with effect from the agreed date on which the payment was due at a rate of not less than 3 per cent over the rate for current accounts (unsecured) charged by the house bank of REGO-FIX AG. The customer shall waive his right to set-off payments in advance.

4. Reservation of title

REGO-FIX AG shall remain the owner of all supplies until having received the full payments in accordance with the contract. The customer shall cooperate in any measures necessary for the protection of supplier‘s title.

5. Delivery time

The delivery time shall start as soon as the contract is entered into and the main technical points have been settled. The delivery time shall be deemed to be observed if by that time REGO-FIX AG has sent a notice to the customer informing that the supplies are ready for dispatch. Compliance with the delivery time is conditional upon customer‘s fulfilling of its contractual obligations.

The delivery time is reasonably extended:

– if the information required by REGO-FIX AG for performance of the contract is not received in time, or if the customer subsequently changes it thereby causing a delay in the delivery of the supplies or services;

– if hindrances occur which REGO-FIX AG cannot prevent despite using the required care, such as cases of force majeure.

Any delay of the supplies does not entitle the customer to any rights and claims, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of REGO-FIX AG.

6. Transport, Insurance

Unless otherwise agreed in the present terms, the Incoterms 2020 apply to our deliveries. The benefit and the risk of the supplies shal pass to the customer by the date of their leaving the works. If dispatch is delayed at the request of the customer or due to reasons beyond the control of REGO-FIX AG, the risk of the supplies shall pass to the customer at the time originally foreseen for their leaving the works. From this moment on, the supplies shall be stored and insured on the account and at the risk of the customer. Special requirements regarding transport must be notified in time to REGO-FIX AG. The transport shall be at customer‘s expense and risk. Complaints regarding forwarding or transport shall upon receipt of the supplies or of the shipping  ocuments
be immediately submitted by the customer to the last carrier. The customer shall be responsible for taking insurance against risk of any kind.

7. Inspection and acceptance of the supplies

The customer shall inspect the supplies within 10 days from the date of receipt and shall immediately notify REGO-FIX AG in writing of any deficiencies. If the customer fails in doing so, the supplies and services shall be deemed to have been accepted. Having been noticed of the deficiencies, REGO-FIX AG shall as soon as possible remedy them, and the customer shall give REGO-FIX AG the possibility of doing so. Deficiencies of any kind in supplies shall not entitle the customer to any rights and claims other that those expressly stipulated in Clauses 8 (guarantee, liability for defects).

 8. Guarantee, liability for defects

REGO-FIX AG guarantees a quality customary for its products and for a period of 24 months from the date of delivery. Upon written request of the customer, REGO-FIX AG undertakes at its choice to repair or replace as quickly as possible any parts of the supplies which, before the expiry of the garantee period, are proved to be defective or not useable due to bad material or poor workmanship. Replaced parts shall become the property of REGO-FIX AG.The guarantee expires prematurely if the customer or a third party undertakes inappropriate modi cations or repairs or if the customer, in case of a defect, does not immediately take all appropriate steps to mitigate the damage and give REGO-FIX AG the possibility of remedying such de- fect. With respect to any defective material or execution the customer shall not be entitled to any rights and claims other than those expressly stipulated in this Clause.

9. Exclusion of further liability

Excluded from the guarantee and liability for defects of REGO-FIX AG are all de ciencies which cannot be proved to have their origin in bad material or poor workmanship, e.g. those resulting from normal wear, improper maintenance or resulting from other reasons beyond the control of REGO-FIX AG. All cases of breach of contract and the relevant consequences as well as all rights and claims on the part of the customer are exhaustively covered by these general conditions of supply. In no case whatsoever shall the customer be entitled to claim damages other than compensation for costs of remedying defects in the supplies. This in par- ticular refers, but shall not be limited, to loss of orders, loss of pro t and other direct or indirect or consequential damage. This exclusion of liability, however, does not apply to unlawful intent or gross negligence on the part of REGO-FIX AG, but does apply to unlawful intent or gross negligence of persons employed or appointed by REGO-FIX AG to perform any of its obligations.

10. Return of supplies

Goods that have been ordered and delivered correctly, will only be taken back after prior written agreement no later than 24 months after the invoice date. Only new, unused, in original packaging goods will be accepted, as far as performance, precision or surfaces are not impaired. Returns are always at the expense of the customer. Costs for re-storage will be charged at 15% of the invoice value.

11. Jurisdiction and applicable law

The contract shall be governed by Swiss substantive law, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for international sale of goods of April 11, 1980.

The only place of venue for REGO-FIX AG and the customer shall be Liestal/Switzerland. REGO-FIX AG shall however have the right to sue the customer at its domicile.
