2. Application of the General Terms and Conditions (GTC)

2.6. If an offer or any other document of the Supplier forms part of the Contract, it shall always apply only to the extent of its technical specifications. Any other terms and conditions contained in the offer or other document of the Supplier which forms part of the Contract (e.g. payment terms, delivery terms, guarantee terms, contractual penalties, limitations of compensation for damage or any other limitation of the Supplier’s liability, etc.) shall not apply.

3. Obligations of the Supplier

3.4. The Supplier shall be solely and exclusively liable for any and all claims or actions brought by its employees or subcontractors, and shall, without any limitation, defend, indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against any claims, proceedings, fines, losses, costs, damages and expenses arising out of or in connection with such claims and/or actions. The Supplier shall also indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against any failure by the Supplier, its employees or subcontractors to comply with legal obligations and with requirements of state authorities or public-law entities.

3.6. The Purchaser shall be entitled to issue change Orders to the Supplier for the purpose of modifying, amending, reducing, supplementing or otherwise changing the ordered Goods and/or Services or parts thereof, and the Supplier shall be obliged to comply with such change Order. Should a change Order result in an increase or decrease in the costs of providing the Goods and/or Services or in the time required to provide the Goods and/or Services, the price and/or the delivery date of the Goods and/or Services shall be equitably adjusted in writing, whereby the agreed unit prices specified in the Order or otherwise agreed between the Purchaser and the Supplier shall apply with priority.

Should any information, data or values supplied by the Purchaser be insufficient, incomplete or inaccurate to such an extent that this could affect the proper supply of the Goods or Services, the Supplier shall in such case be obliged to clarify and/or obtain the missing information and data. Where the values or data provided by the Purchaser are of fundamental importance for the performance of the supply of the Goods or Services, the Supplier shall always be obliged to verify such data. The Purchaser shall provide the Supplier with the necessary cooperation within time limits in line with its operational capabilities. The Supplier shall not be entitled to any additional payments or to any extension of the delivery date of the Goods or Services by reason of an incorrect interpretation of any documents relating to the Contract.

4. Delivery of Goods and Provision of Services

4.2. The Services shall be provided at the place specified in the Contract or, if no such place is specified, at the Purchaser’s place of business defined in the Order.

4.3. The Supplier shall, no later than at the time of concluding the Contract, provide at least the following information: the number of packages and their contents, the customs tariff number of the country of dispatch and the country of origin of all Goods supplied. For controlled Goods, the relevant national control numbers must also be stated and, furthermore, if the Goods and/or Services are subject to US export regulations, the US Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) must also be specified. The Supplier shall state the Contract number on all tax documents.

4.4. Together with the delivery, the Supplier (or the carrier designated by it) shall provide the Purchaser with a delivery note and the necessary export and import documents. If the Purchaser has agreed to partial deliveries, the delivery note for a partial delivery shall also state the remaining quantity to be delivered subsequently.

4.5. Ownership of the Goods shall pass to the Purchaser at the moment of delivery. However, if the Goods contain software, ownership of such software shall not pass to the Purchaser; instead, the Contractor shall grant, or shall ensure that a third party grants, to the Purchaser and to all users the right to use this Integrated Software as an integral part of such Goods or for the purpose of operating such Goods pursuant to Article 10 of these GTC.

5. Inspection of Goods and/or Services

5.1. The Supplier shall, at its own expense, at any time during the performance of its obligations under the Contract, permit the Purchaser, upon the Purchaser’s request, to inspect the progress of work on the subject matter of the Contract at the Supplier’s production plant, or, as the case may be, at the production plants of its subcontractors and/or at the place of performance of the Services, for the purpose of verifying the conformity of the actual progress of work with the Purchaser’s technical specifications or with the agreed performance dates and/or for the purpose of checking the quality of performance of the Contract, and/or the Supplier shall provide test samples and/or quality documentation of the relevant Goods or parts thereof or of the materials of which the Goods are composed. The Supplier undertakes to provide the Purchaser’s representative, free of charge, with the necessary technical means and cooperation for carrying out such inspection and to ensure access to the relevant premises.

5.2. Should the Purchaser, following such inspection or the taking of test samples, conclude that the Goods and/or Service do not conform, or are likely not to conform, to the Contract, the Purchaser may inform the Supplier thereof and the Supplier shall immediately take all steps necessary to ensure the conformity of the Goods and/or Services with the Contract. The Supplier shall further be obliged to carry out, at its own expense, such further inspections or tests as are necessary, and the Purchaser shall have the right to be present at and participate in them.

5.3. Notwithstanding any inspections of the Goods and/or Services carried out by the Purchaser, the Supplier shall remain fully liable for the conformity of the Goods and/or Services with the Contract. This shall apply irrespective of whether the Purchaser exercises its right to carry out inspections and/or tests, and the obligations of the Supplier arising from the Contract shall not be affected thereby in any way. For the avoidance of doubt, inspections or tests of the Goods and/or Services carried out by the Purchaser shall in no event release the Supplier from its liability or from its obligations under guarantees, nor shall they limit the same in any way.

6. Payment of the Price

6.1. For Goods supplied and/or Services provided in accordance with the Contract, the Purchaser shall pay the Supplier the purchase price specified in the Contract, provided that the invoice meets the requirements set out in the Contract.

6.3. Should the Supplier deliver a tax document (invoice) that does not contain all of the above information, the Purchaser shall be entitled to reject such incomplete invoice and return it to the Supplier for completion. In such case, the maturity period shall be calculated from the date of delivery of the corrected tax document (invoice).

6.4. Services provided and paid for on the basis of hourly rates require the written approval of the Supplier’s timesheets by the Purchaser. The Supplier shall submit the timesheets to the Purchaser for such approval in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions. The Purchaser shall not be obliged to pay tax documents based on timesheets which have not been approved by the Purchaser in writing.

6.5. The Purchaser reserves the right to set off any of its receivables (a disputed receivable, a receivable not yet due, etc.) against a receivable of the Supplier or, as the case may be, not to make payment for Goods and/or Services which have not been supplied in accordance with the Contract.

6.6. The Purchaser shall be entitled to require the Supplier to provide bank guarantees or other security instruments of equivalent standing in cases where the Purchaser is to provide monetary performance to the Supplier prior to the completion and handover of the subject matter of the Contract by the Supplier.

6.7. If the Supplier fails to provide the security in a timely and proper manner, the Supplier shall, unless the parties agree otherwise, be entitled to demand payment of the purchase price only after full performance of the subject matter of the Contract.

7. Acceptance of Goods and/or Services

7.1. The delivery of the Goods or the provision of a Service shall not be deemed acceptance of the Goods or Service by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall be given a reasonable period of time to inspect or test the delivered Goods and/or Services and to notify the Supplier of any defects. In the case of defects of the Goods and/or Services which could not reasonably have been detected during the inspection following their delivery, the Purchaser shall be entitled to notify the Supplier of such defects and to reject the Goods and/or Services after the defect has become apparent.

7.2. Unless the Parties agree on a different acceptance procedure, acceptance shall be conditional upon a written declaration of acceptance by the Purchaser (or by another company within the Purchaser’s group). The Supplier shall inform the Purchaser (or another company within the Purchaser’s group) in advance, within a reasonable period, that the Goods and/or Services are ready for acceptance.

7.3. The Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise any of its rights set out in the Contract in connection with any rejected Goods or Service.

7.4. In the event of an unsuccessful acceptance procedure or test of the Goods and/or Services for reasons attributable to the Supplier (e.g. due to defects of the Goods, the Supplier’s lack of readiness, etc.), the Supplier shall pay the Purchaser an amount of CZK 5,000 for the Purchaser’s repeated attendance at the acceptance procedure or tests. However, should the costs or damage incurred by the Purchaser (e.g. travel costs, accommodation, etc.) exceed the amount of CZK 5,000, the Purchaser shall be entitled to demand reimbursement of all costs incurred in full. This provision shall not exclude the Purchaser’s right to the agreed contractual penalties.

8. Delay of the Supplier

8.1. Should the Goods not be supplied and/or the Services not be provided within the agreed delivery period, the Purchaser shall be entitled, at its discretion, to exercise one or more of the following rights:

8.2. Unless otherwise agreed in the Contract, the Supplier shall, for delay with any deadline for the supply of the Goods and/or the provision of the Services specified in the Contract (including interim performance deadlines), pay the Purchaser a contractual penalty in the amount of 0.1% of the total price of the Goods and/or Services under the Contract exclusive of VAT for each commenced day of delay and for each deadline separately.

9.5. In the event of exercise of the rights under Articles 9.4.1 or 9.4.2, the entire guarantee period defined in Article 9.2 shall commence anew in respect of the newly performed acts or newly supplied Goods, from the date of performance of such acts or delivery of the new Goods.

9.6. The rights of the Purchaser arising from the Contract are cumulative and shall not exclude the exercise of any statutory rights.

9.7. The Supplier shall remedy defects of the Goods and/or Services even if it does not acknowledge them, whereby, if it is subsequently proven that such defects are not guarantee defects, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Supplier for the reasonable and documented costs of remedying such defects.

9.8. The Supplier provides a guarantee for the project documentation for such period during which the remedying of defects in the documentation is still of economic or technical significance. The Purchaser’s right to compensation for damage on account of defective project documentation shall not be affected thereby.

13.6. The Purchaser shall be entitled at any time to request the Supplier in writing to suspend performance under the Contract.
