6. Delivery:

Unless otherwise stated, Goods will be shipped in one (1) single consignment. Such shipped Goods may however be delivered as separate consignments due to carrier restrictions. While every effort is made by the Seller to adhere to delivery dates, times quoted for delivery are to be treated as estimates only and the Seller shall not be liable for any loss incurred due to failure to deliver within such time. Whether a time for delivery is quoted or not, the time for delivery shall be extended by a reasonable period if delay in delivery is caused by anything beyond the Seller’s reasonable control. Any special delivery requirement must be notified to the Seller by the Buyer at the time of placing an order. The Seller reserves the right to charge the Buyer for delivery unless otherwise agreed and stated in writing by the Seller. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all sales of Goods are made FCA according to the latest edition of Incoterms.

7. Damage and or Loss In Transit and Insurance:

8. Force Majeure:

i. Neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall be liable for the failure to carry out its obligations in the event that it is prevented from doing so by an event of force majeure which is, or the consequences of which are, beyond the reasonable control of the parties including, but not limited to, pandemic, epidemic, disease, quarantine; fire; strike, lockout, injunction or other labour disturbances, governmental intervention; customs delays such as delayed or refused issue of export licences or detention of equipment or raw materials at customs; currency restriction; war, riots, acts of civil or military authorities, explosion; weather, flood, acts of God or nature; inability to obtain on terms acceptable to the Seller or a shortage of fuel, power, raw materials, labour or transportation; accident; breakage of machinery; or disruption of normal supplier channels of distribution. In the event of force majeure, the obligations of the party affected by the force majeure shall be suspended for as long as the force majeure continues and to the extent which the force majeure affects the relevant party’s obligations hereunder.

ii. Except where the nature of the event of force majeure shall prevent it from doing so, the party suffering force majeure shall notify the other party in writing forthwith after the occurrence of force majeure and shall in every instance, to the extent it is capable of doing so, use all reasonable efforts to remove or remedy such cause as quickly as possible.

iii. If for reason of force majeure, supplies of the Goods or of the feedstock or raw material from which the Goods are directly or indirectly derived from any of the Seller’s then existing sources of supply are curtailed, restricted or cut off, the Seller shall have the option during such period of curtailment, restriction or cessation to allocate and apportion fairly among its customers (including the Seller’s Affiliates) such Goods in any manner as Seller in its absolute discretion deems appropriate.

iv. Seller shall not be obliged to purchase or otherwise obtain alternative supplies of Goods, or the feedstock or raw material from which the Goods are, directly or indirectly, derived.

v. If, as a result of an event of force majeure, supply and/or delivery of the Goods is delayed by more than three (3) months, either party shall have the right to terminate these Terms and the Seller shall not be liable for any loss, cost, expense or damage suffered by the Buyer resulting therefrom.

9. Amendment/Cancellation:

The Seller shall be under no obligation to accept amendment, cancellation or rescission of any order of any part thereof by the Buyer; but may nevertheless agree in writing to such amendment, cancellation or rescission at its absolute discretion and upon whatever terms and conditions it may choose to impose. The Seller shall be entitled to impose a cancellation fee of up to 100% of the relevant total order value should the Buyer postpone or cancel any order, or a portion thereof.

10. Notification of defects, Replacement and Refunds:

i. Upon receipt, the Buyer shall inspect the Goods, by analysis or otherwise, exercising such care as is customary or appropriate in the circumstances. Any claim concerning the quality or quantity of the Goods delivered must be submitted by the Buyer to the Seller in writing within three (3) days of receipt of the Goods by the Buyer, giving full details of the claim (including, but not limited to, samples and packing slips stating the relevant invoice number and date, and the marking on the packaging). When requested by the Seller, the Goods must be returned by the Buyer for inspection. Goods shall not be returned to the Seller without their prior written consent.

ii. If the Buyer has notified the Seller of a defect in any Goods under Section 10(i) and the complaint proves justified, the Seller shall have the right to supply the Buyer with a replacement. If the Seller (a) waives its right to supply a replacement, (b) does not supply a replacement within a reasonable period, or (c) if the Goods supplied in replacement also prove defective, the Buyer shall have the option of requesting in writing a reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the purchase of the defective Goods.

iii. The Seller will only provide refunds against defective Goods if a replacement product cannot be provided. Defective Goods will, in the first instance, always be exchanged for a replacement.

11. Title:

i. Title to the Goods sold shall not pass to the Buyer until all sums due to the Seller from the Buyer (whether in respect of those Goods or otherwise) have been paid to the Seller in full. If the Buyer defaults in paying any such sum, the Seller shall be entitled to take such proceedings against the Buyer as it may be entitled without further notice. Risk of loss shall pass to Buyer upon delivery of the Goods to Buyer or any agent of Buyer. The Buyer shall not be entitled to encumber the Goods delivered with any right in favour of third parties until title has passed to the Buyer.

ii. The Buyer shall be under obligation to provide, on behalf of the Seller, adequate storage of the Goods to which the Seller retains title, to service and repair them at Buyer’s expense, and to insure them at Buyer’s expense against loss and damage up to an extent which may reasonably be expected of a prudent business person. By accepting these Terms the Buyer assigns in advance to the Seller any and all claims which may accrue to the Buyer under any insurance policies.

iii. The Seller reserves the right to repossess and resell any or all of the Goods to which it has retained title. The Seller consents to the Buyer’s possession of the Goods and any right the Buyer may have to possession of the Goods shall in any event cease if the Buyer is in breach of any of these Terms or any other contract between the Buyer and the Seller. Repossession of the Goods by the Seller shall not constitute termination of these Terms unless the Seller has expressly declared so in writing.

iv. The Buyer grants an irrevocable right and licence to the Seller and its employees and agents to enter the Buyer’s premises with or without vehicles during normal business hours for the purpose of inspecting and/or repossessing Goods to which it has retained title. This right and licence shall continue to subsist notwithstanding the termination for any reason of these Terms and is without prejudice to any accrued rights of the Seller under these Terms or otherwise.

12. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability:

i. NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE IS GIVEN AND NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE BY THE SELLER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE USEFULNESS, SUITABILITY, SUFFICIENCY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR PERFORMANCE FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER OF THE GOODS SUPPLIED.

ii. The Seller does not represent or warrant that the importation, use or sale of the Goods is free from infringement of any third-party rights.

iii. The Goods are sold, and service, information and advice rendered on the understanding that the Buyer is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the Goods for the purpose for which the Buyer intends to use them. Accordingly, the liability of the Seller for any loss, cost, expense or damage incurred by the Buyer as a result of third party claims or indirect or consequential loss or damage suffered by the Buyer and arising by reason of defects in the Goods or otherwise shall be limited to the invoice price of the Goods in respect of, or in relation to which, any loss, cost, expense or damage is claimed. The Seller shall, however, in no way be liable to the Buyer if said loss, cost, expense or damage is due to Buyer’s own negligence, error or omission, in whole or in part.

13. Health and Safety:

Goods should be handled and used only by trained personnel or under appropriate supervision, and where relevant only within the specified shelf-life of the Goods. No responsibility or liability whatsoever is accepted by the Seller for any loss, cost, expense or damage arising out of or in relation to, the storage, use or handling of Goods supplied by the Seller however caused.

14. Use of Intellectual Property Rights:

i. The Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused directly or indirectly by the infringement of any patent rights resulting from Buyer’s use of the Goods provided.

ii. The Buyer shall not modify, change, remove, cover or otherwise obscure the Seller’s brands, trade or service marks on the Goods or use the trademarks owned by or licensed to Seller or its Affiliates as, or as part of, any corporate, domain or business name, or as part of any promotional or marketing material including for the products manufactured from such Goods, unless agreed in writing in advance by Seller.

iii. As between the Buyer and the Seller, the Seller and its Affiliates (and where applicable their licensors) exclusively own all Intellectual Property relating to the Goods. Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing the purchase of Goods by the Buyer grants only a limited, non-transferrable right under the Seller’s (or its Affiliates’ or licensors’) Intellectual Property Rights for the Buyer’s own use of the Goods. No right to transfer or assign, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, distribute or resell the Goods (whether or not bundled with other goods) or any of their components is conveyed expressly, by implication or by estoppel. The Buyer shall immediately inform Seller of any actual or threatened infringement of any of the Seller’s (or its Affiliates’ or licensors’) Intellectual Property Rights of which it becomes aware. Buyer shall not market, distribute, resell or export the Goods (whether or not bundled with other goods) or any of their components for any purpose, unless otherwise agreed by Seller in writing.

15. No License:

It is expressly understood that the transfer of the Goods and the disclosure of the Information is solely for the use of the Goods purchased by Buyer or otherwise as may be specified in the relevant quotation or order.

i. The Buyer represents and warrants that it has obtained and shall obtain, maintain in force, and comply with any and all applicable licences, permits, approvals, consents, certificates, authorisations, and permissions (“Approvals”) required by all relevant governments, agencies or other authorities arising out of and in connection with its purchase of Goods from the Seller including in connection with transportation, resale or use of the Goods. Upon request by the Seller, the Buyer agrees to promptly furnish applicable Approvals to the Seller for inspection.

iii. The Buyer further warrants that it shall abide by any service standards as communicated by Seller from time to time.

17. Indemnity:

The Buyer shall bear all risk and responsibility, including for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and assumes liability for all of its activities in using the Goods. The Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold the Seller and its Affiliates, and each of their officers, employees, and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses (including attorney fees), damages and judgments whatsoever, arising out of or resulting from the Buyer’s use, storage or handling of the Goods or which the Seller or its Affiliates may sustain or incur as a result of: (i) breach of these Terms (including the LULL, if applicable) by the Buyer; (ii) breach of any contract or order by the Buyer; (iii) the Buyer’s non-compliance with the Laws, or failure to obtain, maintain in force or comply with applicable Approvals; and (iv) any claim, prosecution or suit brought against the Seller or its Affiliates by any third party including any government agency or other authority for any loss, injury or damage wholly or partly caused in any way by the Buyer’s purchase, use, transfer, sale or disposal of the Goods; and (iv) any claims, proceedings or allegations that may be brought by third parties alleging an infringement of their rights (particularly on the grounds of intellectual property rights or unfair competition) by the Buyer.

18. Foreign Trade Law Requirements:

i. The Seller is committed to compliance with international sanctions and export control regulations. The Buyer agrees that it will not directly or indirectly, export, re-export, transfer or divert or otherwise dispose of any Goods that it has purchased from the Seller and/or any technical data supplied by the Seller to any country, individual, corporation, organisation, or entity to which such export is restricted or prohibited by any applicable jurisdiction. For example, economic sanctions and embargoes imposed by the European Union, the United Nations, US Departments of State, Treasury or Commerce, and other government authorities (such as embargoes imposed on specific countries, or economic sanctions imposed on individuals or companies for terrorism or money laundering offences) may prohibit the Buyer from taking the Seller’s Goods and its technical data to other countries, even for the Buyer’s own personal use, and/or sending the Seller’s Goods and its technical data (whether physically by mail or digitally via email or
file-sharing) to particular individuals, corporations, organisations or entities. In addition, the Buyer agrees that it will not purchase any Goods from Seller if the Buyer is subject to such sanctions.

ii. The Seller reserves the right to change or cancel any accepted order for Goods based on foreign trade law requirements, and to terminate the business relationship with the Buyer in case of non-compliance with applicable foreign trade law requirements.

iii. The Seller reserves the right to claim damages in case of the Buyer’s non-compliance with applicable foreign trade law requirements.

19. Confidential Information:

i. Each party in receipt of Confidential Information, whether verbal or in writing or in any other form, of the other party shall not disclose such Confidential Information to third parties or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than performance under these Terms and/or the LULL.

ii. The recipient of Confidential Information shall limit access of such Confidential Information to those of its employees (and to Seller’s Affiliates and their employees) who need to know it for purposes of the recipient’s performance hereunder or otherwise in connection with the Buyer’s purchase of the Goods. The recipient employees shall be advised of the confidential nature of the information, and the recipient shall be responsible in case of breach of these Terms by any such employee. A recipient of Confidential Information shall treat the Confidential Information with the same degree of care that it exercises in protecting its own confidential and/or proprietary information, and in any case not less than a reasonable degree of care.

iii. The obligations arising from this Section 19 shall survive for ten (10) years after the expiration, termination or invalidation, for any reason, of any related agreement.

iv. Confidentiality obligations shall not extend to Information that is in the public domain at the time of receipt, enters the public domain after receipt other than by the recipient’s breach of confidentiality, that is lawfully received from third parties, or to the extent the recipient is held to disclose information under the law or by governmental or judicial order.

v. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-public aspects of the Goods and associated Information and the terms of any related quotation or order shall be treated as Confidential Information by the Seller.

20. Relationship of Parties:

Nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed as establishing or implying any partnership or joint venture between the Seller and the Buyer and nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to construe either of the parties as the agent of the other.

21. No Consulting:

The Seller is not required to share any know-how or to provide consulting services regarding the Goods. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any know-how, advice or other information shared by the Seller with the Buyer, other than on the Website or in publicly available documents, shall be Confidential Information of the Seller. The Buyer is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the Goods for the purpose for which the Buyer uses them.

22. Promotion Codes:

i. The Seller may from time to time issue certain promotional vouchers or coupons for use on the Website or for the offline purchase of Goods (“Vouchers”). Individual Vouchers may only be used subject to these general Voucher terms as well as any additional specific Voucher terms and conditions that may be specified on the Voucher, or at the time the Voucher is issued. These additional terms may include, but are not limited to, a minimum spend amount to use a Voucher; an end date for use or expiry of a Voucher; the automatic expiry of Vouchers following the redemption of a fixed number of such Vouchers; limitation on the use of Vouchers by account holders of the Seller’s Website.

ii. Unless otherwise provided or specified in the specific Voucher terms and conditions: (a) the right to use a Voucher is personal to the original recipient and may not be transferred; (b) each Voucher will be valid for use by a recipient only once; (c) each recipient is limited to use of only one Voucher per promotion or offer; (d) Vouchers may not be used in conjunction with other Vouchers or any other discounts or promotions.

iii. The Seller reserves the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to add to or amend any terms and conditions in relation to the use of Vouchers or to vary or terminate the operation of a Voucher at any time without notice. The Seller shall not be liable to any Buyer or recipient of a Voucher for any loss or claim arising out of the refusal, rejection, cancellation or withdrawal of any Voucher or any failure or inability of a Buyer or the recipient of a Voucher to use a Voucher for any reason.

iv. Vouchers may not be exchanged for cash.

23. General Matters:

i. If any term or provision of these Terms is at any time held by any jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then it shall be treated as changed or reduced, only to the extent minimally necessary to bring it within the laws of that jurisdiction and to prevent it from being void and it shall be binding in that changed or reduced form. Subject to that, each provision shall be interpreted as severable and shall not in any way affect any other of these Terms.

ii. No failure or delay by any party to exercise any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver of it nor indicate any intention to reduce that or any other right in the future.

iii. These Terms are personal to the Buyer and do not give any right to any third party. The Seller may assign its rights under these Terms without notice to, or consent from, the Buyer, however the obligations of the parties set out in these Terms shall pass to any permitted successor in title.

iv. For sales to the world, except North America, these Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of England, and for sales to North America, these Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Massachusetts, expressly excluding the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (Vienna Convention). Any disputes which may arise in relation to these Terms shall be settled by binding confidential arbitration and referred to a single mutually agreed arbitrator, which shall be in Boston, USA and in accordance with the JAMS comprehensive arbitration rules and procedures in relation to sales to North America and which shall be in London, UK and in accordance with the rules of arbitration of the ICC in relation to sales to the world, except North America. In default of agreement, the arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS or the president of the Law Society of England and Wales on application of the Seller. The decision of such arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties in relation to the dispute and the arbitrator’s fees shall be borne on an equal basis by all parties involved.

v. These Terms, including the LULL if applicable, constitute the entire understanding between the Buyer and Seller concerning the Goods and supersede any other agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, including any conflicting general purchase terms and conditions in any document sent by the Buyer.

Limited Use Label License Agreement (“LULL”)
