2.     The present General Terms of Sale shall be applied if the Buyer is an entrepreneur within the meaning of the provisions of the Civil Code (the Buyer).

3.     These General Terms of Sale are a complete and exclusive contractual regulation binding the parties in the scope of sale of machines and devices. Thus, the parties exclude the application of any other contractual provisions. Any other provisions (general terms, etc.) applied by theBuyer shall not be applied.

4.     The acceptance of the General Terms of Sale by the Buyer in any order or contract shall be considered as their full acceptation for all subsequent orders and contracts. In case when the General Terms of Sale are altered, the General Terms of Sale of machines and devices, which are binding on the day when an order is placed by the Buyer, shall be binding every time for the Buyer and the Seller.

5.     The provisions of these General Terms of Sale may be altered only in writing or otherwise be declared null and void. Concluding of a separate sale agreement shall exclude the application of these General Terms of Sale only in the scope regulated in different manner in such agreement.

1.     Any information included in catalogues and advertising folders of the Seller shall not constitute an offer within the meaning of the Civil Code. Information regarding weight and dimensions, as well as photos, descriptions and drawings, included in advertising materials or attached to them by the Seller shall have only an informative character, unless otherwise is expressly indicated.

2.     The basis of the concluding of a sale contract shall be the Buyer’s order, placed in response to the Seller’s offer, subject to paragraph 7 of this section. In case of any alteration of offer or introduction of reservations to the offer in the Buyer’s order, the contract shall be concluded only when the Seller confirms its acceptance of order with alterations or reservations. Lack of confirmation of such an order shall mean that a sales contract is not concluded. The parties exclude all possibilities of implied concluding of a contract which are stipulated by laws.

3.     In case when the Buyer places an order without previous receiving of written offer (e.g. on the basis of commercial negotiations), a written confirmation of order’s acceptance by the Seller shall be necessary for concluding a contract.

4.     Any understandings, affirmations, promises and guarantees placed orally by the Seller’s employees in connection with concluding a contract or submitting an offer shall not be binding.

5.     For the effectiveness of a sale contract or its alteration, any statements exchanged between the parties in this scope shall be delivered to the other party in writing, by mail, facsimile or e-mail. This provision shall apply particularly to the offers, orders and order confirmations.

6.     In case when the Seller is not able to execute a contract, fully or partially, for reasons not attributable to the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract, fully or partially, within 3 months from concluding of such contract. The Seller shall not be responsible for possible damage resulting from that.

7.     If the Buyer submits a written declaration from which it results that the Buyer does not accept the General Terms of Sale of machines and devices, then a contract between the Seller and the Buyer shall not be concluded. If the Buyer does not submit such a declaration in writing on the day of order’s submittal at the latest, then it shall mean that the Buyer gives its consent to the application of General Terms of Sales of machines and devices without any modifications.
