General Sales terms & conditions of Hyva Group

Section 1. General

1. These General Sales Terms & Conditions of Hyva Group (General Terms) apply to all orders, agreements relating thereto, modifications thereof and additions thereto between any company of the Hyva Group (Hyva) that is acting as a seller of products and their Buyers. Any deviation from these General Terms, use of any Hyva's local terms or applicability of Buyer's standard terms is permitted only if explicitly agreed in writing.

2. Buyer shall be regarded as having accepted the General Terms by placing an order to Hyva or by entering into a sales agreement with Hyva.

3. Due to the nature of the products sold by Hyva, most of Hyva customers are considered professional customers, i.e. natural persons who are acting as professionals within the scope of their economic activity (trade, business, craft, liberal profession) or legal entities. If Buyers are consumers within the meaning of applicable law, i.e. they are acting outside the scope of their economic activity (trade, business, craft, liberal profession), these General Terms apply to the extent that they do not limit or are in conflict with the protections granted by the applicable consumer protection laws.

4. Proposals by Hyva become binding on Hyva only after Buyer places an order and Hyva confirms the acceptance of the order.

5. Buyer remains bound by Buyer's order. Hyva will only be bound by descriptions and conditions in the order which deviate from or add to the proposal made by Hyva, after written acceptance thereof.

6. Documentation, drawings, specifications, weight and performances shall be understood as general indications and shall in no way be binding on Hyva.

 

Section 2. Prices and payment

1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, prices shall be Ex-Works Hyva factory or Hyva warehouse as indicated in the offer or order confirmation, according to Incoterms 2020. Insurance, special packaging, transport, assembly and installation and other additional costs and the risk inherent therein, plus any duties or levies shall be quoted separately and shall be at Buyer’s expense.

2. Hyva reserves the right, even after the order has been accepted by Hyva, to reasonably increase the agreed price for products in case of increases in the price of material or energy or other manufacturing or purchasing costs, increased customs duties or taxes, changes to official exchange rates or other charges that were not specifically foreseeable at the time of entering into the contract. On request, Hyva shall provide Buyer with proof of the increased costs for price increases after the order has been accepted.

3. Unless otherwise agreed, payment should be received by Hyva within 30 days from the date of invoice. Failure to meet this condition will cause Buyer to be in default without the need for Hyva to send a default notice.

4. Any claim for damages or compensation under the warranty or for reimbursement from Hyva shall not suspend the Buyer’s obligation to pay.

5. Delay interest for late payment shall be 1% per month calculated from the payment due date until the date of actual payment. Such late payment interest will be automatically due without prior notice. This rate of interest is also due on all costs, described by and arising from clause 5 of this Section 2.

6. All legal and extra judicial costs incurred by Hyva in order to collect any outstanding amounts shall be at the Buyer’s expense.

7. Any products which Hyva has in its possession and which belong (in joint ownership) to Buyer, shall be regarded as a security for the settlement of all amounts Buyer owes to Hyva.

8. If Hyva has reasonable grounds to doubt the financial credibility of Buyer, Hyva shall be entitled to demand payment immediately and to suspend the performance of any agreed obligation until payment has been received or terminate the order immediately and without further notice and/or judicial interference. 

 

Section 3. Delivery

5. Hyva shall notify Buyer when the products are available for shipment or pick-up. Should Buyer fail to pick-up the products within 3 months after Hyva's notification, Hyva shall be entitled to charge Buyer the storage costs.

6. Hyva shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligation to deliver upon notification to Buyer that the products are ready for delivery or from the moment that the products have left Hyva's factory or warehouse, whichever is earlier. Hyva shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligation to deliver even if the required consent of authorities has not been obtained due to circumstances beyond Hyva’s control  i) assembled products function, despite not all parts being delivered together with the assembled products, or ii) where a third party, not falling under Hyva’s supply chain processes, has failed to complete the expected tasks.
