2. THE CONTRACT :
2.1 All orders must be in writing and are accepted subject to these Terms and Conditions of Sale. No terms or conditions put forward by Buyer and no representations, warranties, guarantees or other statements not contained in Seller’s quotation or Acknowledgement of Order nor otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Seller shall be binding on Seller.
2.2 The Contract shall become effective only upon the date of acceptance of Buyer’s order on Seller’s Acknowledgement of Order or upon the date of fulfilment of all conditions precedent stipulated in the Contract, whichever is the later (the “Effective Date “).
2.3 No alteration or variation to the Contract shall apply unless agreed in writing by both parties. However, Seller reserves the right to effect minor modifications and/or improvements to the Goods before delivery provided that the performance of the Goods is not adversely affected and that neither the Contract Price nor the delivery date is affected.
3. VALIDITY OF QUOTATION AND PRICES :
Unless previously withdrawn, Seller’s quotation is open for acceptance within the period stated therein or, when no period is so stated, within thirty days after its date. ERALUX will add taxes, duties and similar levies to the sales price where ERALUX is required or enabled by law to pay or collect them and these will be paid by Buyer together with the price.
4. PAYMENT :
4.1 Unless agreed otherwise between Seller and Buyer in writing, ERALUX may invoice Buyer for the price of the Products delivered upon delivery of the Products in accordance with the applicable INCOTERM. Net payment is due within thirty (30) days of date of invoice. All payments shall be made to the designated ERALUX address. No discount is allowed for early payment unless agreed to in writing. In addition to any other rights and remedies ERALUX may have under applicable law, interest will accrue on all late payments at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the applicable statutory rate, whichever is higher and to the extent permitted by applicable law, from the due date until payment in full.
4.2 All deliveries of Products agreed to by ERALUX shall at all times be subject to credit approval of ERALUX. If, in ERALUX’s judgment, Buyer’s financial condition at any time does not justify production or delivery of Products on the above payment terms, ERALUX may require full or partial payment in advance or other payment terms as a condition to delivery, and ERALUX may suspend, delay or cancel any credit, delivery or any other performance by ERALUX.
4.3 In the event of any default by Buyer in the payment of any fees or charges due, or any other default by Buyer, ERALUX shall have the right to refuse performance and/or delivery of any Products until payments are brought current and ERALUX may suspend, delay or cancel any credit, delivery or any other performance by ERALUX. Such right shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available under the Agreement or at law.
