1.1. There General Terms and Conditions are applicable to all agreements entered into by Yuniqtech Inc, The Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce no. 11057441, hereinafter referred to as ‘Yuniqtech Inc’, with an opposite party, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Purchaser’ or ‘Lessee’, which is acting in the context of the performance of a profession or the operation of a business. Departure from these General Terms and Conditions is possible in mutual consultation, but is only valid if agreement in the matter is set down in writing.

1.2. These General Terms and Conditions will apply to all sales, deliveries, leases and any other assistance/service provided by Yuniqtech LLC except in those cases where the latter would have expressly stated differently within the offers/agreements, and therefore, the conditions expressly stated therein would have become the particular conditions of the sale and/or delivery. Any other conditions not expressly accepted in writing by Yuniqtech LLC will be null and void.

1.3. These General Terms and Conditions are applicable to all legal relationships between Yuniqtech LLC and Purchaser or Lessee, including all offers and agreements in which Yuniqtech LLC commits to deliver or to lease goods, and/or provide services, in which context the use of other terms, such as (assembly) work, may apply to both, and thereby refers to the realisation, in the broadest sense of the word, of the obligations under the agreement.

1.4. Any offer/agreement made by Yuniqtech LLC will rely upon these General Terms and Conditions, which will be applicable from the very moment such offer/agreement is made, as well as from the moment any Purchaser or Lessee places an order with Yuniqtech LLC or accepts a sale and/or delivery from Yuniqtech Inc, and will remain in force during their entire (commercial) relationship, notwithstanding the fact that both parties do not mention nor refer to the same anymore in future correspondence, like e.g. new orders/offers/agreements.

1.5. The applicability of any terms and conditions of purchase or other terms and conditions, applied by the Purchaser or Lessee, is explicitly excluded, and these other terms and conditions are not binding on Yuniqtech LLC except and inasmuch as they have been explicitly accepted in writing by Yuniqtech Inc.

1.6. Commercial terms used in quotations, order confirmations or otherwise must be interpreted in accordance with the ICC Rules for the use of Domestic and International Trade Terms of the International Chamber of Commerce, known as the ICC Incoterms 2010, all inasmuch as these are not in conflict with these General Terms and Conditions.

1.7. If the order is granted/ the agreement is entered into through the mediation of a representative, this intermediary remains fully responsible – and issues an indemnification – for the full compliance with all obligations, in addition to the requirement to do so of the principal on behalf of whom or at the expense of whom the order was issued or agreement was entered into.

1.8. The applicability of the provision in Title 1 (Purchase and Exchange) and 12 (Acceptance of Work) of Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code is excluded, as far as is legally possible.

1.9. The applicability of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International  
Sale of Goods (Vienna, 11 April 1980) is hereby excluded.

Formation and realisation of an agreement

Article 2.  
2.1. An agreement is not formed until such a time as:  
(1) a written (or other) offer made by Yuniqtech LLC within the period set for it is accepted by the Purchaser or Lessee.  
(2) an order placed or offer made by the Purchaser or Lessee is accepted by Yuniqtech Inc.  
The object of and the obligations and arrangements set down in the agreement entered into with Yuniqtech LLC replaces the verbal and written agreements entered into previously, and can apply equally to the delivery of goods and the performance of services, including the performance of feasibility (and other) studies by or on behalf of Yuniqtech Inc, including in the context of subsequent orders.

2.2. The quotations issued by Yuniqtech LLC are free of obligation and are open for acceptance during a 14-day period, unless otherwise indicated.

2.3. The prices quoted in a quotation are net (applicable taxes not included) and in euros, unless otherwise indicated.

2.4 In the event that goods are ordered (including by telephone) through one of the employees of Yuniqtech Inc, the order is not deemed accepted by Yuniqtech LLC and the agreement not deemed to have come into being until 7 days have passed after the order was placed, during which time Yuniqtech LLC has not indicated to the Purchaser or Lessee that it will not be accepting the order.

2.5. Yuniqtech LLC is permitted to increase the prices if, after the agreement is entered into, circumstances occur which result in a price increase, including but not limited to increases in raw materials prices, foreign exchange rate differences, increases in taxes/contributions, collective wage increases and/or other objective circumstances. Such price increases do not entitle the Purchaser or Lessee to dissolve the agreement.

2.6. Yuniqtech LLC is at all times entitled – if in the opinion of Yuniqtech LLC the financial situation of the Purchaser or Lessee gives cause – to require advance payment, collateral or other guarantee for satisfactory payment, and to suspend realisation of the agreement in whole or in part while awaiting such. In the event that advance payment is not made or such collateral or guarantee is not provided to the reasonable satisfaction of Yuniqtech Inc, Yuniqtech LLC is entitled to dissolve the agreement by a mere written declaration and without judicial intervention, without prejudice to the right of Yuniqtech LLC to compensation and without the Purchaser or Lessee being entitled to any compensation.

2.7. All additions to, amendments of and subsequent arrangements in respect of the agreement only apply if these are agreed in writing, including email, and have also been confirmed by the other party in writing.

2.8. Yuniqtech LLC is not liable for imperfections in the advice and information provided by Yuniqtech Inc. The Purchaser or Lessee cannot derive any rights from advice and information it receives from Yuniqtech LLC if this is not related to the agreement and/or this advice is provided by Yuniqtech LLC unrequested.

2.9. In the event that the Purchaser or Lessee wishes that the goods must comply with specific requirements/ specifications, it must notify Yuniqtech LLC to this effect clearly in writing before the agreement is entered into. Yuniqtech LLC is not responsible and cannot be held liable for non-compliance of the goods to be supplied or the services to be provided with the technical requirements or standards set by law and/or stipulations of the country in which the goods will be used and/or the services will be used. The Purchaser or Lessee is responsible for the drawings and calculations made by or on behalf of it and for the functional suitability (or other efficient suitability) of the materials prescribed by or on behalf of the Purchaser or Lessee.

2.10. Yuniqtech LLC cannot be held liable for errors in images, measurements, weights, qualities and/or prices/pricelists, whether these are made known by means of printed matter or not.

2.11. In the event of additional work, as referred to in Article 4.3 of these General Terms and Conditions, the additional work will be calculated on the basis of the value of the price-determining factors applicable at the moment the additional work is carried out, according to the statement of Yuniqtech Inc.

Force majeure  
Article 3.  
3.1. In the event that it becomes apparent after the agreement comes into being, that realisation is burdensome or impossible for Yuniqtech LLC as a result of force majeure, and inasmuch as realisation of the agreement is still required, Yuniqtech LLC is entitled to dissolve the agreement or suspend its realisation, in which cases the Purchaser or Lessee will be notified as quickly as possible, in light of the circumstances.

3.2. The term force majeure is deemed to mean: a failure to perform on the part of Yuniqtech LLC which cannot be attributed to it and which means that further realisation of the agreement cannot reasonably be expected of Yuniqtech Inc. Such a failure to perform can be deemed to have taken place if it cannot be attributed to its negligence, and is not for its account by virtue of law, legal act or generally accepted opinion.

3.3. In any event, the following non-exhaustive list of circumstances shall be deemed force majeure:  
natural disasters;  
diseases of an epidemic nature;  
wars, international or national armed conflicts and preparations for such conflicts;  
measures of domestic, foreign or supranational government agencies, including but not limited to decisions relating to the imposition of import quotas;  
loss or theft of tools;  
a stoppage of the delivery of necessary parts, materials, raw materials and/or manufactured products;  
the loss of the materials to be processed;  
blockade or obstruction of transport routes, including traffic congestion;  
strike or labour disputes;  
supply cuts by utilities companies.

3.4. The following circumstances are deemed equivalent to force majeure: all those circumstances which prevent or render impossible or make unreasonably burdensome to Yuniqtech LLC the execution of the agreement or any part thereof in as far as such circumstance occur beyond the reasonable control of one of Yuniqtech Inc.

3.5. Yuniqtech LLC will also be entitled to rely on force majeure in the event that the circumstance hindering (further) compliance occurs after Yuniqtech LLC should have met its obligations.

3.6. In the event that Yuniqtech LLC has already partially complied with its obligations at the commencement of the force majeure situation, it is entitled to invoice separately the goods already delivered or the work carried out (partially or fully), and the Purchaser or Lessee is required to pay this invoice in full as if it were a separate transaction. In such cases, the Purchaser or Lessee is entitled to the goods already manufactured in the possession of Yuniqtech LLC (partial deliveries), inasmuch as these are present.

Delivery times and lease period  
Article 4.  
4.1. Any agreed delivery times and the delivery times in an agreement for the sale of goods or the time at which goods are made available for lease, also if these times are included in a quotation, are always estimates and are not binding on Yuniqtech Inc. Without prejudice to the provisions in Article 3 and also with the exception of cases of force majeure, any overrun of the delivery time does not grant the Purchaser or Lessee the right to dissolve the agreement and/or demand compensation, unless the Purchaser or Lessee can show negligence or deliberate recklessness on the part of Yuniqtech Inc.

4.2. The delivery time commences when Yuniqtech LLC has access to all the necessary specifications and data and agreement has been reached regarding all technical details, all necessary data, for example definitive drawings, images, models, etc. are in the possession of Yuniqtech Inc, any agreed payment or payment instalment has been received and the necessary conditions for the realisation of the commission have been complied with.

4.3. In the event circumstances arise, other than those of which Yuniqtech LLC was aware at the time it set the delivery time, Yuniqtech LLC can extend the delivery time by the time which is necessary to realise the commission under these circumstances. If the work cannot be scheduled within Yuniqtech Inc’s planning, it will be completed as soon as Yuniqtech Inc’s planning permits this, in its opinion.

4.4. In the event of additional work, which is deemed to include the performance of additional work/services over and above those agreed with Yuniqtech LLC on the formation of the agreement, the delivery time will be extended by the time necessary for the delivery of the materials and spare parts and for the performance of the additional work. If the additional work cannot be scheduled within Yuniqtech Inc’s planning, it will be completed as soon as Yuniqtech Inc’s planning permits this, in its opinion.

4.5. In the event of a suspension of obligations by Yuniqtech Inc, the delivery time will be extended by at least the duration of the suspension. If continuation of the work cannot be scheduled within Yuniqtech Inc’s planning, it will be completed as soon as Yuniqtech Inc’s planning permits this, in its opinion.

4.6. The lease period commences on the agreed time, or at the time at which the leased goods are made available to Lessee, whichever moment is earlier in time.

Performance of work  
Article 5.  
5.1. The Purchaser or Lessee guarantees that all ancillary resources and facilities will be present at the location in which the work must be carried out, to make it possible for the work of Yuniqtech LLC to be performed undisturbed, without interruption or restriction, and at the agreed time.

5.2. The Purchaser or Lessee is liable for all damage resulting from loss of, theft of, fire damage or other damage to tools, materials and other goods of Yuniqtech LLC which are located at the location in which the work is carried out.

5.3. If the Purchaser or Lessee does not comply with the obligations set down in Paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article, and as a result of this delays occur in the realisation of the work, the work will be carried out as soon as Yuniqtech Inc’s planning permits this. In case of such delays the Purchaser or Lessee shall reimburse Yuniqtech LLC for the additional costs incurred, among which but not limited to waiting hours and (additional) inspection costs. Furthermore, the Purchaser or Lessee is liable for all losses incurred by Yuniqtech LLC as a result of this, but will not be able to claim any reimbursement due to delays to work resulting from the circumstances described in this article.

Purchase, transport, unloading, risk and completion of work  
Article 6.  
6.1. Delivery takes place – unless explicitly otherwise agreed – ‘ex-works’ (‘Incoterms 2010’). This means that the goods are deemed to have been delivered to the Purchaser or Lessee as soon as they have left Yuniqtech Inc’s building. The goods to be delivered by Yuniqtech LLC in an ‘ex-works’ delivery are at the expense and risk of the Purchaser or Lessee from the moment the goods are made available to the Purchaser or Lessee in/at the premises of Yuniqtech LLC or are loaded into the means of transport or from the moment the goods otherwise leave the building, at which moment the delivery of the goods is deemed to have been completed, irrespective of whether the Purchaser or Lessee has signed for them (sole proof).

6.2. In the event that Yuniqtech LLC commences installation or assembly of the delivered goods, the risk on the goods is transferred at the moment Yuniqtech LLC makes the goods available to the Purchaser or Lessee at the quayside, in the ship or at another agreed location.

6.3. In the event that it becomes clear that an old good must be replaced with a new good by Yuniqtech Inc, the risk on the old good remains with the Purchaser or Lessee at all times.

6.4. Yuniqtech LLC will package the goods to be delivered by it in the usual manner, which under normal conditions is suitable for the ‘ex-works’ delivery of goods at the premises of Yuniqtech LLC where the delivery takes place. If special requirements are made by the Purchaser or Lessee regarding the manner in which the goods ordered by the Purchaser or Lessee are to be packaged, the Purchaser or Lessee must make these wishes known to Yuniqtech LLC in writing when entering into the agreement. Any additional costs resulting from the special package requirements made by the Purchaser or Lessee will be borne by the Purchaser or Lessee.

6.5. In the event that the goods are ready for collection by the Purchaser or Lessee and Yuniqtech LLC has notified the Purchaser or Lessee to this effect, the Purchaser or Lessee is required to collect the goods immediately. Noncompliance with this obligation entitles Yuniqtech LLC to store the goods at the expense and risk of the Purchaser or Lessee and/or to keep them stored, and to invoice the Purchaser or Lessee for the storage, without the option that payment can be refused afterwards due to non-collection of the goods.

6.6. In the event that the parties – in departure from ‘ex-works’ delivery (‘Incoterms 2010’) as determined in Paragraph 1 – explicitly agree in writing that transport will be arranged by Yuniqtech Inc, that transport takes place on behalf of and at the expense and risk of the Purchaser or Lessee, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

6.7. In the event that the parties – in departure from ‘ex-works’ delivery (‘Incoterms 2010’) as determined in Paragraph 1 – explicitly agree that transport by Yuniqtech LLC takes place at its expense and risk, the goods shall be at the risk of Yuniqtech LLC until the moment of delivery at the agreed destination. The transport costs will be charged to the Purchaser or Lessee. The Purchaser or Lessee is obliged to unload the goods as quickly as possible after the means of transport has arrived at the delivery location.

6.8. When the goods are unloaded, the Purchaser or Lessee must sign for good receipt and the undamaged condition of the goods. If the Purchaser or Lessee engages a third party for receipt of the goods, the Purchaser or Lessee must guarantee this third party’s authorisation to act on its behalf and represent it vis-à-vis Yuniqtech Inc. The delivery to the third party referred to above shall be deemed a delivery to the Purchaser or Lessee, after which Yuniqtech LLC is indemnified with regard to the realisation of the agreement. The Purchaser or Lessee bears the full risk after delivery to the third party and is liable for any loss occurring, such as that resulting from delay, storage elsewhere, etc., due to receipt of the goods by a third party.

Complaints and guarantee  
Article 7.  
7.1. Yuniqtech LLC does not guarantee that the goods are suitable for the purpose for which the Purchaser or Lessee wishes to use them, even if this purpose has been made known to Yuniqtech Inc, unless the contrary has been agreed between the parties in writing.

7.2. The Purchaser or Lessee must inspect the goods on delivery for any deviations from that agreed. In the event that the Purchaser or Lessee ascertains damage upon collection or delivery of the goods, it must notify Yuniqtech LLC in writing to this effect immediately. Any complaints must be submitted to Yuniqtech LLC in writing immediately, and must in any event be received by Yuniqtech LLC within 7 days of the delivery date. After the end of this period, the delivered items are deemed to have been accepted by the Purchaser or Lessee irrevocably and unconditionally. In the event that there is no opportunity at the time of delivery for inspection of possible damage, the Purchaser or Lessee must give notification to this effect in writing or electronically no later than at the moment of delivery.

7.3. If the complaint of the Purchaser or Lessee is deemed to be correct in the opinion of Yuniqtech Inc, with due observance of the above provision, Yuniqtech LLC can choose between repair and re-delivery/ replacement of the goods. The Purchaser or Lessee must keep the faulty goods available for Yuniqtech Inc. The Purchaser or Lessee must in any event offer Yuniqtech LLC the opportunity in every circumstance to remedy any fault or perform the process again, always at the originally agreed delivery/realisation location.

7.4. The goods can only be returned to Yuniqtech LLC with its prior written permission. With the exception of faults observed by the Purchaser or Lessee, the goods must be properly delivered to the premises of Yuniqtech LLC in the event of a return shipment. Yuniqtech LLC explicitly reserves the right to inspect the goods, or have them inspected, at the location in which they are located.

7.5. Each claim against Yuniqtech LLC lapses by the mere passing of the guarantee period of 12 months after delivery of the goods. No new guarantee is given for goods which have been repaired or replaced in accordance with the provision in 7.3.

7.6. No guarantee is provided, without prejudice to the provision in 7.5, for faults which are the result of:  
normal wear and tear;  
inexpert use;  
maintenance not carried out or carried out incorrectly;  
– installation, assembly, modification or repair by the Purchaser or Lessee or by third parties;  
no guarantee is provided for goods delivered which were not new at the moment of delivery.

8.2.

b. carries out work, in or outside the company of Yuniqtech Inc, e.g. examinations in order to make quotations, assessing technical problems, examining/assessing samples, etc.

8.4. If and inasmuch as any liability exists in law on the part of Yuniqtech Inc, such liability shall be limited to the amount of compensation payment made by the insurance company. In the event that the insurance company does not pay out in a given case – irrespective of the reason for this – or the loss is not covered by any insurance policy, any liability of Yuniqtech LLC shall be limited to the invoice value of the individual good (component) delivered or service provided for which Yuniqtech LLC committed itself.

8.5. The Purchaser or Lessee indemnifies Yuniqtech LLC against all third-party claims relating directly or indirectly to the realisation of the agreement and/or the delivered goods.

Article 9.  
The Purchaser or Lessee will ensure that all permits, exemptions and other decisions required are obtained in good time.

Yuniqtech LLC is also authorised in such cases to wholly or partially dissolve the agreement without judicial intervention, retroactively as appropriate. The Purchaser or Lessee is liable for damage and loss suffered by Yuniqtech LLC and costs incurred as a result of such a dissolution, including loss of profits.
