General Terms and Conditions of the Anlian
International Group Limited
– hereinafter referred to as Anlian International Group Limited
A. General provisions
1 Validity of the Terms and Conditions
1.1 Deliveries, services and offers of Anlian International Group Limited shall be made exclusively on the basis of the following terms and conditions. Counter-confirmations with reference to own terms and conditions of business or purchase are hereby expressly rejected; these shall not apply even if they do not contradict these terms and conditions but merely supplement them.
1.2 Deviations from the terms and conditions of business shall only be effective if Anlian International Group Limited confirms them in writing. Individual agreements shall take precedence over these Terms and Conditions.
2 Offer
2.1 The offers of Anlian International Group Limited are subject to change without notice and are non-binding, unless they are expressly designated as binding in individual cases. All orders must be confirmed by Anlian International Group Limited in writing or by telephone; only then shall a contract binding on both parties be concluded.
2.2 Anlian International Group Limited reserves the right to technical and design deviations from descriptions and information in brochures, catalogs, the internet presentation and written documents as well as changes in the course of technical progress without any rights against Anlian International Group Limited being derived therefrom. This applies in particular to model changes, changes in design or equipment, provided that the subject matter of the contract does not thereby undergo any change which is unreasonable for the Buyer. All other performance data shall only be binding if expressly agreed in writing and confirmed in writing by Anlian International Group Limited.
3 Prices, Transfer of Risk, Insurance
3.1 The prices of Anlian International Group Limited are EXW ex warehouse Auckland plus the statutory value added tax. Any agreements to the contrary must be confirmed in writing.
3.2 Price quotations which are recognizably addressed exclusively to commercial buyers are in case of doubt exclusive of statutory value added tax and shall be binding upon immediate acceptance. If Anlian International Group Limited submits a binding offer and this is not accepted within 10 days, any acceptance occurring later shall constitute a new offer by the Buyer, so that Anlian International Group Limited shall no longer be bound by the prices on which the offer was based.
3.3 If the Buyer is not a consumer, the risk of transport shall be borne by the Buyer even if, contrary to the above provisions, carriage paid delivery has been expressly agreed; the risk shall then pass to the Buyer as soon as the consignment has been handed over to the person carrying out the transport or has left the warehouse of Anlian International Group Limited for the purpose of dispatch.
3.4 Anlian International Group Limited reserves the right to decide on the form of shipment, transport route and means of transport.
4 Price reservation
If the goods ordered by the Buyer are to be delivered later than within the first four months after conclusion of the contract and if within this period there is a change in the manufacturing or purchasing conditions or a change in price as a result of an increase in the price of raw materials, increased wage rates or other cost increases, Anlian International Group Limited shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract and to submit a new offer to the Buyer taking into account the changed prices.
5 Delivery and Performance Time
5.1 The dates and periods stated by Anlian International Group Limited are not binding unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
5.2 If a delivery period is agreed and not complied with by Anlian International Group Limited, the Buyer shall only be entitled to withdraw from the contract if a reasonable period of grace to be set by him has not been complied with. If the Buyer is not a consumer, a grace period of at least one month shall be deemed reasonable. Delays in delivery and performance due to force majeure and/or due to events which make it considerably more difficult or impossible for Anlian International Group Limited to perform, for example interruption of operations, strike, difficulties in procuring materials, official orders, etc., shall entitle Anlian International Group Limited to postpone delivery for the duration of the hindrance plus a reasonable start-up period or to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part on account of the part not yet performed.
5.3 The delivery period shall be deemed to have been complied with if the goods have been dispatched or the Buyer has been notified of readiness for dispatch by the time of its expiry.
5.4 In the event of non-availability of the ordered goods for which Anlian International Group Limited is not responsible as a result of untimely or incorrect delivery (including the delivery of short quantities) by a (pre)supplier despite a delivery contract already concluded by Anlian International Group Limited with the (pre)supplier for the ordered items or the relevant input material at the time of the conclusion of the contract with the Buyer, Anlian International Group Limited reserves the right not to deliver. In this case Anlian International Group Limited undertakes to inform the Buyer without delay of the non-availability of the ordered goods and to reimburse without delay any consideration (payment) already received by the Buyer.
6 Terms of payment
6.1 Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Anlian International Group Limited’s invoices shall be due for payment immediately upon delivery without deduction. Anlian International Group Limited shall be entitled, despite any provisions of the Buyer to the contrary, to set off payments first against the Buyer’s older debt. If costs and interest have already been incurred, payments shall be set off against the costs, then against the interest and finally against the principal claim.
6.2 Anlian International Group Limited shall not be obliged to accept checks or bills of exchange in payment. Cheques or bills of exchange shall not be deemed to be payment until they have been honoured. Collection or discount charges as well as bill of exchange tax shall be paid by the Buyer with the invoice amount. Anlian International Group Limited shall not be liable for timely presentation, protest, notification and return of bills of exchange in case of dishonor.
6.3 If the Buyer is in default, Anlian International Group Limited shall be entitled to charge interest on arrears at the statutory rate from the date in question. The right to claim further damages is expressly reserved.
6.4 If, after conclusion of the contract, it becomes apparent that Anlian International Group Limited’s claim to the purchase price is endangered by the Buyer’s lack of ability to pay, Anlian International Group Limited may refuse delivery. The right to refuse performance shall not apply if the purchase price is paid or security is provided for it. Anlian International Group Limited may set a reasonable time limit within which the Buyer shall, at his option, effect counter-performance or provide security. After unsuccessful expiry of the period Anlian International Group Limited may withdraw from the contract.
