General terms of sale


Orders

Any order implies the buyer’s unreserved acceptance of these general terms of sales. No clause contained on order forms or correspondence sent to us by our buyers may depart therefrom, except as otherwise specified in formal and accurate terms in the text of our offers or of our acceptances. Offers made by our agents, or over the telephone, do not constitute a firm commitment by the SAFE BOAT EQUIPMENT company before being confirmed in writing.


Price

Prices are given without any undertaking of time, and our sales are always made at the rate of the delivery date. Prices are given before taxes and carriage costs. The buyer shall pay such taxes and carriages costs pertaining to his order. In the event of a contract with deliveries spread over time, our prices may be revised based on variations resulting from labour costs, raw material and carriage costs. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, our prices are always understood for ex works or ex warehouse sold and approved goods.


Delivery

Delivery times and transport times specified by us are given for informational purposes and do not constitute an undertaking on our part. Whatever the transport mode, even shipped free of charge by the seller, the goods always travel at the buyer’s risk. In the event of on site delivery, the site should be easy to access, without any danger or hazard. We decline any responsibility for any loss by any of our transport vehicles occurring on the site, if such loss results from difficult access and non appropriate land.

Acceptance of our commercial papers constitutes no novation or exception to the above clause.


Formal termination clause

Termination shall take place simply by that period of time elapsing.
