Standard Terms & Conditions

Quotations made by the Supplier will not be binding until the Supplier has received acceptance from the purchaser and issued an order confirmation. Specifications, printed descriptions, drawings, photographs and other documentation attached to a tender shall be binding. However, the Supplier reserves the right to make minor modifications.

The order confirmation and these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale constitute the agreement concerning the sale of goods between the parties, unless other written agreement has been agreed upon by the parties and accepted by the Supplier.

The purchase price of the goods is stated in the order confirmation. The prices are exclusive VAT, taxes and other duties.

If the order confirmation does not contain a purchase price, the Suppliers standard price in force at the time of the delivery of the goods shall apply to the sale of goods. The Supplier is, however, entitled to adjust the purchase price if the Supplier’s total costs for the manufacture of the goods have been increased by circumstances beyond the Supplier’s control, such as increases in prices on raw material, electricity, taxes etc.

The prices quoted include packaging. The packaging supplied is non-returnable.

The name LiTHIUM BALANCE and whatever trade names and trademarks the Supplier may use are property of the Supplier and shall so remain if the agreement between Supplier and purchaser is terminated.

The Supplier grants the purchaser a non-exclusive right, non-transferable license to use such of the goods and software as necessary, and to the extent necessary, for the purchaser to obtain and utilize the intended benefit of the goods.

Upon termination of the relationship between the Supplier and the purchaser, the purchaser is obliged to cancel any registrations with public authorities or other parties as an authorized LiTHIUM BALANCE partner.

The purchase price for each goods shall be paid in advance to the Supplier in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the order confirmation. Alternatively by way of issuing a bank guarantee to the Supplier on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Supplier.

Payment for goods supplied shall be made to the Supplier, the Supplier’s representative, or the Supplier’s bank as set out in the order confirmation.

In no circumstances shall the purchaser be allowed to withhold the payment as security for possible claims by the purchaser against the Supplier.

The Supplier guarantees that supplied goods shall be free from defects, which are proved to be solely due to the Supplier’s workmanship and materials for a period of two years from the date of delivery, unless another warranty period is stated in the Supplier’s quotation, order confirmation or invoice. The purchaser’s exclusive remedy in case of defects shall be, at the Supplier’s option, repair by the Supplier at a facility of its choice, replacement of the defective product with a functionally equivalent product, or refund of the amount paid for the product. If the supplied goods are returned to the Supplier’s factory, defects will be replaced or repaired at no cost to the purchaser. Shipment of goods to and from the Supplier’s factory shall be at the expense and risk of the purchaser.

All other warranties, either expressed or implied, are disclaimed as to the supplied goods and their quality, performance or fitness for a particular purpose. The Supplier does not warrant that the goods supplied will satisfy the purchaser’s requirements or that the operation of the goods supplied will be uninterrupted.

The Supplier’s aggregate liability arising from or related to goods supplied to the purchaser by the Supplier is limited to the purchase amount. Neither the Supplier nor any of its agents shall in any case be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, indirect or punitive damages even if advised of the possibility of those damages. Neither the Supplier nor any of its agents shall be responsible for lost profits or revenue, loss of use of software, loss of data, the cost of recreating lost data, or the cost of any substitute equipment.

Regardless of the above, the Supplier shall in no circumstance be liable for any damages caused by the goods or any damages caused by the use of the goods, if the purchaser fails to implement a software upgrade recommended by Supplier.

The Supplier shall be liable for damages caused for defective products delivery by the Supplier in accordance with the Danish Product Liability Act and unwritten product liability rules under Danish law.

The Supplier shall be liable for personal injury only if it is proved that such injury was caused by negligence on the part of the Supplier or others for whom he is responsible.

The Supplier shall not be liable for any damages which be attributed to incorrect or unusual use of the goods.

The Supplier shall not be liable for damage to property occurring whilst the goods are in the possession of the purchaser, nor shall the Supplier be liable for damage to products manufactured by the purchaser, or of other products of which the purchaser’s products form a part. The Supplier shall not be liable for damage to commercial property. Apart from these limitations the Supplier shall be liable for damage of property on the same conditions as for personal injury. The Supplier shall in no circumstances be liable for loss of production, loss of profit or any other consequential damage and indirect loss.

To the extent that the Supplier might incur product liability towards any third party, the purchaser shall indemnify the Supplier as far as the Supplier’s liability has been limited by the three preceding sub-paragraphs. If a claim for damage, as described in this clause, is lodged by a third party against one of the parties, the latter party shall forthwith inform the other party thereof. The Supplier and the purchaser shall be mutually obliged to let themselves be summoned to the court examining claims for damages lodged against one of them on the basis of damage allegedly caused by the goods.

Each party shall use the same degree of care and supply equivalent measures to the confidential information disclosed to it by the other as it would use or apply with respect to its own confidential information.

Both parties undertake to keep confidential and take all reasonable steps to safeguard the confidentiality of any information given by the other party or discovered by the party itself relating to the other party’s trade secrets.

Discussions of each other’s products, services, policies and personnel with third parties shall be restricted to that information commonly available to the general public in form of printed literature, or which is made available to the other by the disclosing party in written or oral connect, which consent shall indicate the restrictions to be made on subsequent disclosure(s), if any.

The validity interpretation, construction and performance of these Standard Terms and Conditions of sales shall be governed by the laws of Denmark. The Danish rules on the conflicts of law and the United States Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply to any sale of goods from the Supplier.

Any disputes, controversies or disagreements arising out or in connection with these Standard Terms and Conditions, including any question regarding the understanding of or the extent or scope of these Standard Terms and Conditions, which cannot be settled amicably between the parties shall be settled by the Copenhagen Maritime and Commercial Court.
