1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

These General Terms and Conditions are an integral part of our supply order; the same applies to purchasing specifications and any other document expressly specified in the order. The General Purchasing Terms and Conditions may only be amended by special terms and conditions that we have expressly accepted, or by the signature of a more complete and specific agreement that we and the Supplier wished to negotiate. In case of any conflict between these general purchasing terms & conditions and terms & conditions of the specific agreement, the specific agreement shall prevail.

Unless a specific agreement exists, such as a supply framework agreement between the Company and the Supplier, the order and its acknowledgement of receipt constitute the sole commitment between us with respect to the purchase of supplies or services; it cancels all prior offers, letters or other commitments that are not reiterated in the order. The Supplier is under obligation to produce a specific result and/or provide consulting services for us and undertakes to comply with the laws, regulations and other texts currently prevailing in India and abroad, best trade practices, professional practices, the applicable India or international standards, and internal safety regulations.

"Supply" is understood as being the subject of the order (products, material, equipment, provision of services, intellectual services, etc.) including all relevant documents and deliverables.

2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT - ORDER ACCEPTANCE

Any order only becomes final further to returning the acknowledgement of receipt, dated, signed and with the Supplier's stamp within two weeks of the order date, if possible. If the acknowledgement of receipt is not returned and performance has started, the Supplier will be deemed to have accepted the terms of our order. The special terms and conditions agreed to by the Parties will be enclosed in the order or specific agreement as stipulated above; the acknowledgement of receipt shall not specify different terms and conditions that have not been agreed to with us.

Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, the stipulated delivery date is the goods' arrival date in our plants and not the shipping or availability date thereof.

3. HYGIENE AND SAFETY - ENVIRONMENT

By simply accepting the order, the Supplier guarantees that the supply is equipped with all regulatory or usual safety mechanisms. Whenever the order involves services to be provided within our establishments or those of our customers, the Supplier will take all measures required to comply in a timely fashion with legal and regulatory provisions relating to hygiene and safety. In particular, it will specify precautions for using the supply. If such supply creates pollution, or if it contains components which are submitted to specific regulations, the Supplier shall inform us of measures to be implemented for the possible destruction thereof (or of related waste) subsequently to use and in accordance with regulations applicable on the delivery date. Compliance with this clause constitutes an essential and decisive condition to our order.

4. PLANS, DRAWINGS & TOOLING

The plans, drawings, documents, models etc., of whatever type, created on our account and/or which we have entrusted to the Supplier, shall not be used by him without our prior written agreement. Unless otherwise specified, tooling and the related documentation entrusted to the Supplier continues to be our property alone and shall be returned at first request. The Supplier undertakes to ensure the correct preservation and maintenance of tooling entrusted to it.

5. SUPPLIER'S CORPORATE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Costs for demurrage of carriages and trucks, for storage, handling or other reasons resulting from a delay in sending the delivery slip, insufficient details in consignment documents, or any other cause attributable to the Supplier's carrier, shall be the liability of the Supplier.

8. DEADLINES

All deadlines, as negotiated and stipulated in the order, are mandatory. As soon as the Supplier is aware of any expected delay, it shall inform the Company thereof so that we can undertake all measures required to protect our interests.

If such delay causes any damages to the Company or lead to our incurring additional costs, we may serve notice to deliver on the Supplier or inform the latter of our decision to apply appropriate penalties by written notification (e-mail, letter or other means).
