Retention of title

1. The Seller shall retain title to all goods delivered until payment has been received for all receivables arising from the business relationship with the Buyer. This shall also apply to any delivery that the Buyer may refer to and for which the purchase price has already been paid.
2. In case of open account terms, the Product subject to the retention of title shall serve as collateral for the Seller’s outstanding balance claim. Any processing or conversion carried out by the Buyer of any Products that were delivered by the Seller and are still subject to the Seller’s retention of title shall always take place on the Seller’s behalf, however, without any obligation to the Seller. If the Products delivered by the Seller are mixed or combined with other items, the Buyer shall hereby transfer to the Seller the Buyer’s full or partial title to ownership and possession with regard to the mixed stock or newly created items.
3. The Buyer shall immediately notify the Seller of any attempts by third parties to seize Products subject to the retention of title by submitting to the Seller a bailiff’s return and an affidavit stating that the seized items are identical to the Products delivered. The Buyer is liable for any costs or damage resulting from such seizures. The Buyer shall be entitled to sell the Products delivered and those items that result from their processing or conversion in the course of proper business practice only. If the Buyer resells on credit terms Product of the Seller while the Seller’s retention of title is still in effect, the Buyer may not transfer the title to such items to the third-party buyer before settling in full all payment commitments to the Seller. Until such time, the Seller’s previous retention of full or partial title shall remain in effect with respect to the third-party buyer. The Buyer is obliged to protect the Seller’s rights against the third-party buyer in any manner necessary.
4. Already at this time and until full payment of all receivables for Product supplied by the Seller has been received, the Buyer shall assign, upon their creation and by way of security, to the Seller in full, with all ancillary rights, and enforceable against possible legal successors of the Buyer, all receivables to which the Buyer is entitled that result from the subsequent sale of the Product supplied by the Seller or from any other legal cause against the Buyer’s customer with respect to said Product.
5. As a consequence, any pledging or assigning of receivables, in particular to financing companies, is not permitted without the Seller’s written consent until any and all of the Seller’s claims against the Buyer have been settled in full.
6. If the Buyer is in default with respect to a portion of the Buyer’s commitments to the Seller, the Buyer has to notify any third-party debtors of the assignment and to request the third-party debtors to make payments to the Seller only and to refrain from any seizure of property, and to provide the Seller with a list showing those Product resold that are still subject to retention of title and/or showing those receivables incurred from the resale of such Product.
7. If so requested by the Buyer, the Seller shall assign back to the Buyer any receivables previously assigned to the Seller that exceed by more than 20% the total value of the Seller’s receivables for Product supplied. The Seller shall acquire ownership of the proceeds which shall have to be kept separately. Furthermore, the Seller may demand, at any time, the name of the customer and the amount of and the legal reason for any receivables to which the assignment agreed upon refers. The Seller may also demand that the Buyer notify the Buyer’s customers of the assignment of such receivables. For this purpose, the Buyer has to permit the Seller access to the Buyer’s books and invoices.
8. The Seller shall be entitled to collect any receivables assigned to the Seller; the Seller also has the right to notify the Buyer’s debtors accordingly. However, the Buyer is authorized to collect these receivables on behalf of the Seller as long as the Buyer is not in default with regard to the Buyer’s commitments to the Seller.
9. In the event of the Buyer’s default or if the Buyer experiences difficulties in payment, the Seller is entitled to demand the immediate release and return of the unsold Product. Until they have been duly returned, the Buyer has to keep the Product that are the property of the Seller separate from other merchandise and to mark them as the Seller’s property; the Buyer has to refrain from disposing of them in any way, and to provide the Seller with a list of such property

Fitness for Purpose

Due to the specialist nature and variable applications of the goods which the Seller may supply, the Seller gives no warranty that the Products are fit for Buyers purpose or purposes. The Buyer warrants that he has satisfied himself that the Products will be fit for every purpose that he requires them and that Buyer does not rely on any skill or judgment of Seller in that regard.

Warranty 

1. Unless specifically stated to the contrary, Products are covered by standard factory warranty against manufacturing defects. Returns will not be accepted without prior authorization. Seller’s decision on all matters relating to warranty is final.
2. In the case of defective or faulty Goods supplied by Seller, Buyers remedy against Seller is limited to a period no longer than 12 months from the date of purchase. If any defect arises during this period Seller reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to repair or replace the goods or to give credit to the value of the purchase price of the Goods. This is subject to the Goods not having been damaged, abused or improperly operated by the Buyer. All warranty items must be returned to Seller by prepaid freight within the Warranty Period.
3. Where the Seller is not the manufacturer of the Goods the only warranty provided by the Seller is that given by the manufacturer of the Goods.

Force Majeure

Neither the Buyer or Seller shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under the Contract to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event. A “Force Majeure Event” means any event beyond a party’s reasonable control.

Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

Singapore law shall apply exclusively. Singapore shall be the place of performance and jurisdiction for either party to the contract.

Final clauses

The preceding terms of payment and delivery shall become effective as of their publication and apply to any and all deliveries, unless otherwise stipulated in writing, even if no specific reference is made to them in individual instances. Any terms or conditions of the Buyer contrary to these terms shall lose their legal validity through the acceptance of these terms upon placement of the order, unless such contrary terms have been expressly accepted by the Seller. The Seller’s previous terms of payment and delivery deviating from these shall be void. Insofar as nothing specific has been agreed upon, the statutory provisions apply in addition to these terms of payment and delivery. In the event that some of its clauses are or become legally invalid, this contract shall remain binding.
