General sales and delivery conditions
The information contained in this catalogue was to
the best of the knowledge of Triax, correct at the
time of publication.
Triax reserves the right, without prior notice, to
discontinue products or to make design changes
as part of its continuous programme of product
improvement.
Triax will not accept responsability for damage,
injury, loss or expense resulting from any error or
omissions.
12. COMPLAINTS
Immediately on receipt and prior to taking the
products into use, the buyer should inspect
the goods supplied to ensure that there are no
shortcomings and that the correct quantity has
been supplied.
Complaints of defects which have been found or
should have been found at a general inspection
must be made at once and not later than 8 days
after receipt of the products. If the complaint is
not made within the time limit stated, the buyer
loses his right to put forward a claim.
Complaints of discrepancies in quantity and
damages to the product should be made
immediately to the carrier, if any, and to the seller.
Otherwise, the buyer loses his right to complain
of such faults.
13. RESPONSIBILITY FOR
SHORTCOMINGS
Provided that the agreed terms of payment are
kept, and that complaints are made in due time,
the seller will remedy any shortcomings that turn
up during a period from 12 months from the
delivery date. The responsibility does not
comprise deficiencies caused by factors arisen
after the risk has passed over to the buyer.
Remedy is only made by adjustment, repair or
replacement of (parts of) the product or its com-
ponents according to the seller’s option. Wages
paid for dismounting and mounting will not be
refunded. If dismounting and mounting should af-
fect more than the product, such work and costs
are irrelevant to the seller as well.
The buyer has to send the seller a written
complaint with details of the deficiency without
undue delay. The complaint should be made
immediately, if there is reason to believe that
damages might be involved. If the buyer does not
advise the seller of a deficiency within the time
limit stated, the buyer will lose his right to make
a claim.
Return of repaired parts or return of the product
is paid by the seller who takes over replaced
parts, if any. Unless otherwise agreed, the buyer
will pay such additional costs that may arise if
the product is situated at another place than the
destination stated in the agreement, or, failing
such information, the place of delivery.
If the product has been changed or someone
else than the seller or a repair man appointed by
the seller has tried to repair the product, or if the
product has been subject to damages or used
for unfit purposes, or if installation, operation and
maintenance are not in compliance with the
seller’s stipulations, the seller can refuse to
remedy the deficiency free of charge.
Deficiencies caused by conditions for which the
buyer or someone else is responsible, or which
are not announced until after expiration of the
remedying period, are not the seller’s business.
The seller’s responsibility does not include
deficiencies arisen in materials provided by the
customer or by a co-producer/supplier appointed
by the customer or in constructions ordered
or specified by him. If the seller does not meet
his obligations within a reasonable time, the
buyer can claim a proportional reduction of the
purchase sum, but not more than 15% of the
agreed purchase sum. In case of a vital
deficiency, the buyer can cancel the agreement
by a written notice to the seller, at the same time
demanding compensation for his loss, i.e. max.
15% of the agreed purchase sum.
Above conditions are the seller’s maximum
obligations concerning shortcomings.
So the seller is neither responsible for direct nor
indirect losses, including operational losses, loss
of profit as well as costs or damages etc.
14. LIABILITY FOR CAUSING
DAMAGES
(PRODUCT LIABILITY)
The seller is responsible for personal injuries
according to the legislation concerning product
liability.
The seller is not responsible for damages to real
and personal property which occurs while the
product is in the buyer’s possession. Nor is the
seller responsible for damages to products made
by the buyer or products comprising such parts.
Furthermore, the seller is only responsible for
damages to real and personal property, if it can
be proved that the damage is caused by mistakes
or negligence made by the seller or others whom
the seller is responsible for.
The seller is not responsible for operational
losses, loss of profit or other indirect losses.
If a product liability towards a third party has
been imposed on the seller, the buyer is
committed to indemnify the seller to the same
degree as the seller’s responsibility stated in the
three previous paragraphs.
These limitations of the seller’s responsibility are
not valid, if the seller has shown gross negli-
gence.
If the third party claims compensation from one
of the parties in accordance with this point, he
should advise the other party immediately.
The buyer is bound to let the court or arbitration
tribunal bring an action against him which deals
with claims made against the seller for damages
assertedly caused by the product.
15. FORCE MAJEURE
The seller’s obligations are suspended and can
be dropped when missing fulfilment is owing to
conditions beyond the seller’s control.
16. CONSUMERS’ PURCHASES IN
DENMARK
For consumers’ purchases in Denmark the
stipulations laid down in the Sale of Goods Act
take precedence over these sales and delivery
terms.
17. VENUE AND LAW
Any dispute arising out of the contract shall be
settled before a Danish court. The venue is
„SØ- og Handelsretten“ in Copenhagen.
However, the seller is entitled to demand
arbitration according to the general rules of the
Danish court. The Court of Arbitration is set up in
Copenhagen. Settlement through arbitration does
not exclude the possibility of an injunction or that
other preliminary remedies can be carried through
at the relevant revenue.
