- GTCs are available at INSOTEC’s head office and on the website https://insotec.pl/general-conditions-of-sale/
- Subject to § 1.4 of the GTCS, these GTCS constitute an integral part of each Sales and Delivery Agreement concluded by INSOTEC with customers who are entrepreneurs or institutions (hereinafter referred to as the „Purchaser”). These GTCS shall apply to agreements other than a Sales and Delivery Agreement, if the Parties so agree. Exclusion of application of GTS and all arrangements of the Parties deviating from GTS require, in order to be effective, agreement of individual terms and conditions in writing. Provisions of general contractual terms and conditions and other contractual templates of the Purchasers concluding the Contract with INSOTEC, deviating from the provisions of GTS, shall not apply, unless INSOTEC accepted them in writing. Conclusion of a separate agreement excludes application of these GTCS only to the extent regulated otherwise therein.
- The Buyer accepts the provisions of INSOTEC’s GTCS from the moment of:
a) to place an order or to receive an order confirmation if the order is placed according to the procedure described in par. 1 para. 4 lit. b
b) to conclude a contract of sale or supply with INSOTEC
c) receipt of goods from INSOTEC, whichever occurs first. - These GTCS do not apply to sales contracts concluded with consumers within the meaning of Article 221 of the Civil Code.
- Obvious mistakes, printing, typing or calculation errors are not binding for INSOTEC and cannot be the basis for claims by the Buyer for any reason whatsoever.
§ 2 CONDITIONS OF SALE
- INSOTEC’s GTCs apply to all goods in INSOTEC’s current catalogues and to goods imported or made at the Buyer’s request, as well as to services (hereinafter referred to as „Goods” or „Goods”).
- The information on INSOTEC’s website, catalogues, price lists, brochures and other information addressed to the Buyer concerning the Goods, does not constitute a commercial offer within the meaning of the Civil Code, even if a selling price has been included therein, unless otherwise stated separately by INSOTEC.
- The information referred to in paragraph 2 above is kept up to date by INSOTEC and INSOTEC reserves the right to change it without prior notice to the Buyers, unless otherwise agreed with the individual Buyer.
- The condition for the effective conclusion of the Sales Contract is:
a) the placing of the order by the Buyer (in writing, or electronically) and the confirmation of the order by INSOTEC (in writing or electronically). Confirmation of the order means that INSOTEC has received the order and accepted it for processing. The placing of an order by the Buyer does not bind INSOTEC, and the absence of a response from INSOTEC does not imply tacit acceptance of the order,
b) in the case of Buyers who have a permanent relationship with INSOTEC, including those who have access to the current sales price lists posted on the Direct purchasing platform or in the online shop, the placement of an order and INSOTEC’s confirmation of the delivery date of the ordered goods means that INSOTEC has received the order and accepted it for fulfilment, but even in this case INSOTEC reserves the right not to fulfil the order for reasons beyond INSOTEC’s control, in particular due to the unavailability of the goods in question at the manufacturer. - The Buyer is responsible for the correctness and completeness of the data contained in the order or in the documentation provided to INSOTEC. The order must unambiguously identify: a) the Buyer
a) Goods: quantitative, indicating the names and/or indices of INSOTEC
b) the price of the Goods based on the current quotation received from INSOTEC
c) place, manner and date of performance of the entire order or, in the event that the Buyer does not provide for a single place, manner and date of performance for all the Goods covered by the order, separately the place, manner and date of performance for the individual Goods covered by the order. - The Buyer represents and warrants that orders will be placed by persons authorised to represent the Buyer in accordance with applicable law or authorised to deal with INSOTEC on the basis of a power of attorney granted to them by the Buyer, and is fully liable in this respect.

If collection is not made by the date specified on the order confirmation, INSOTEC reserves the right to charge the Buyer a storage fee for the period from the date of fulfilment indicated on the order confirmation until the date of actual receipt of the Goods from the warehouse. The amount of the storage charge is determined individually by INSOTEC.
- The placing of an order for Goods imported or manufactured to the Buyer’s specifications or at the Buyer’s special request which are not shown in INSOTEC’s current catalogues, once this order has been confirmed or delivery confirmed by INSOTEC, may not be revoked or cancelled. The remaining provisions of the GTCS shall apply accordingly.
- Subject to paragraph 9 above, the Buyer, with INSOTEC’s prior consent in writing or by e-mail correspondence, may cancel the order.

In the event that INSOTEC incurs higher costs, INSOTEC is entitled to charge the Buyer an amount equal to the total cost associated with the cancellation (including actual damage and lost profits).
- The Buyer, with INSOTEC’s prior consent expressed in writing or by e-mail correspondence, may return the Goods. If the return is accepted and INSOTEC agrees to the return, INSOTEC will provide the Buyer with the conditions under which the return may be implemented.

Goods shall be returned in their original condition, i.e. intact in relation to the condition in which they were issued from INSOTEC’s warehouse. Goods that have been stripped of their original packaging and Goods that have been manufactured or customised according to the Buyer’s specifications are not refundable. Delivery and other transaction costs are not refundable. All costs accompanying the return of the Goods shall be borne by the Buyer. INSOTEC excludes the possibility of returning the Goods by cash on delivery. The possibility of return does not apply to the Goods referred to in paragraph 9 above. - INSOTEC shall not be liable to the Buyer for damages or defects in the product made by the Buyer, using Goods supplied by INSOTEC.
- INSOTEC is not responsible for the possibility and correctness of the application of the Goods to the Buyer’s specific solutions and products.
- INSOTEC shall not be liable to the Buyer for any damage, lost profits, loss of profit, loss of use or any other damage resulting from non-performance or improper performance of the Contract. In particular, INSOTEC shall not be liable for non-performance of the Contract in the event that the manufacturer of the Goods refuses or abandons its manufacture, delivery or transport. The above exclusion shall not apply to damage caused to the Buyer by INSOTEC intentionally. In any event, the upper limit of INSOTEC’s liability shall be an amount equal to the gross price of the Goods subject to the Goods Contract.

- Due to continuous technological progress, INSOTEC reserves the right to unilaterally change the Goods, including the design of the Goods and their composition.

- The invoice or Release Document signed by the person authorised to receive the Goods on behalf of the Buyer shall at the same time constitute confirmation of delivery of the Goods to the Buyer.

- Force majeure shall be understood as an event of an extraordinary nature, external to the Parties, the occurrence and consequences of which could not have been prevented by either Party, insofar as this event affects the performance of the Sales or Supply Agreements.
