2. Catalogues, leaflets, price lists, cost-free assistance, etc.
Cost-free assistance in connection with the Vendor’s advice and guidance in handling of the product including what is based on descriptions in material about the products are solely a service to the Purchaser for which the Vendor does not accept any responsibility.

3. Agreement.
All sales are conducted in accordance with a written order confirmation duly signed by the Purchaser, upon the request of the Vendor.

Reservations or deviation from what is mentioned in the order confirmation or the present general provisions are considered as inconsistent acceptance with the consequence that Vendor is not bound by a quotation or what may be specified in the order confirmation.

If an order confirmation has not been signed by the Purchaser, any objection shall be made in writing to the Vendor within 10 working days from the receipt of this. If not, the order confirmation shall be regarded as a contractual basis irrespective of the fact that it has not been signed.

Upon the request of the Vendor the Purchaser shall provide security for payment prior to starting up production/prior to delivery in accordance with the terms that the Vendor may determine. If a price has not been agreed upon in the written order confirmation, the sale will be effected at the price applicable on the day of delivery.

Any discount shall not be calculated of value added tax or other duties and delivery costs.

Interest on overdue payment shall be 1.5% per commenced month.

6. Currency Rate Reservation.
When invoicing the Purchaser, the Vendor is entitled to regulate the part of the price for the goods and the transport costs, which vendor is to pay in foreign currency up or down based on the exchange rate on the day that the Vendor settles the foreign currency to settle his purchase.

Vendor shall indicate in the order confirmation whether it is subject to an agreed currency reservation.

7. Ownership Reservations.
