LEGAL
Terms of Service
The following are the terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) for the sale of products (“Products”)
by Jaro Thermal to their respective customers (“Customers”).
All orders are subject to acceptance in writing by JARO THERMAL or a duly authorized agent of JARO THERMAL. Any written acknowledgement of receipt of an order shall not, in and of itself, constitute such acceptance. Orders accepted by JARO THERMAL may be cancelled by Customer upon written consent of JARO THERMAL provided such order is not “NC/NR” or “Non-Cancelable/Non-Returnable”, “Non-Standard Products” or governed by a contract or Purchase Agreement Letter. Non-Standard Products are defined as Products that are special orders, custom orders, and orders for non-standard products, products not customarily in stock or orders for value-added products. Non-standard products are non-cancelable and non-refundable. In the event of cancellation or other withdrawal of an order for any reason, and without limiting any other remedy which JARO THERMAL may have as a result of such cancellation or other withdrawal, reasonable cancellation or restocking charges shall include all expenses incurred and commitments made by JARO THERMAL, and shall be paid by Customer to JARO THERMAL. Customer requests to reschedule are subject to acceptance by JARO THERMAL in its sole discretion. Orders may not be canceled or rescheduled after the order has been submitted by JARO THERMAL to the shipment carrier. JARO THERMAL reserves the right to allocate sales and limit quantities of selected Products among its customers in its sole discretion. Product specifications and availability are subject to change without prior notice.
1a. Warranty, duties of buyer upon defects reported by his buyers, compensation for expenditure, liability
Any warranty claims of the buyer rest on the assumption that he himself has met his legal and statutory duties to inspect and report defects without fail. This also applies when the buyer sells on the object of sale. Obvious defectiveness or incompleteness of the goods have to be communicated to us in writing within 2 weeks after the goods or services have been delivered, specifying the fault in detail and quoting the invoice number. Receipts, samples, packing slips and/or defective goods have to be returned if so requested by us. All claims of the buyer due to defectiveness or incompleteness are expressly excluded if he does not meet this duty. Latent defects of quality must be objected to without undue delay after their discovery. If an inspection of goods was carried out, claims involving defects which could have been detected during inspection are excluded.
Liability for a specified purpose of use or any specified suitability shall only be assumed to the extent that the latter is agreed as such expressly and in writing. In all other aspects, the suitability and application risk is the sole responsibility of the buyer. The buyer is obliged to guarantee compliance with the basic technical conditions specified in the documentation and/or supplementary documents. Any other type of use is prohibited. The buyer shall impose these and any other restrictions of use stipulated by the seller to subsequent buyers.
Warranty claims for used objects of sale are excluded completely unless liability for defects has been agreed expressly and in writing.
The object of sale is not considered defective if the buyer uses products supplied by us in a functional connection with product components already available or purchased from third parties, providing the defect was caused by components supplied by us or a lack of compatibility thereof. If we have provided express written assurance that the object of sale is compatible with external products, this assurance only relates to the product version current at the moment the assurance was made, and not to earlier or later product versions. An object of sale is not considered defective if a defect results from the fact that the buyer has not ensured compliance with the basic technical conditions specified in the documentation and/or supplementary documents. If the buyer instructs us to rectify such defects, he shall absorb the resulting costs at our current applicable rates. The buyer shall also indemnify us from any claims for compensation made by third parties in such cases. The buyer shall bear the burden of proof that violation of the provisions in the contract was not the cause of the damage when the product supplied by us was used.
The buyer remains solely responsible, in particular for natural wear of the object of sale, incorrect or negligent use, modifications, assembly and operation as well as incorrect consultation or instruction from the buyer or third parties, excessive loads, unsuitable operating resources, unsuitable installation site, in particular supporting ground under the object, an unstable or unsafe power supply, chemical, electrochemical or electrical influences, weather or other natural influences.
If consumables are found to be defective, the materials shall be set aside immediately in the condition they were in when the defect was discovered and retained for our further inspection. Otherwise they shall be considered accepted by the buyer in the condition in which they were delivered without further liability on our part.
Should delivery items prove to be defective, it is our choice to remedy the fault subsequently by repairing the defective item or supplying a non-defective replacement. Only if this has failed repeatedly, or if it should prove unreasonable for the customer, or if the defects are of substantial nature, then the buyer is entitled to withdraw from the contract or to deductions in price, as stipulated within the legal framework. A delivery recourse shall not affect the limitation period. The buyer is entitled to compensation only to the extent covered by section below. As for potential repairs or replacements, the warranty period is 3 months as of delivery or execution date and covers at least the expiry date of the warranty period for the original goods or services.
The buyer shall give us the necessary time and opportunity to conduct all the remedies and replacement deliveries necessary in agreement with us. Otherwise, the buyer shall be exempt of liability for the resultant consequences. The buyer shall bear any additional costs incurred (e.g. overtime premiums, extended journeys, etc.) for the express deployment of a technician or work performed outside of normal working hours at the specific request of the buyer.
Parts replaced as a result of subsequent repairs become our property. We shall only be liable for replacement parts in accordance with the existing delivery and sales conditions, more specifically the conditions included in these terms and conditions.
The buyer must inform us immediately of any report of defects submitted by his customers on our goods or services. In case the buyer does not meet his obligation, he is not entitled to warranty claims. The buyer must also secure evidence in suitable form and has to grant us the opportunity to verify this claim.
Unless explicitly authorized by us, the buyer’s advertising statements, whether to his customers or in his advertising material, do not constitute the right to warranty claims against us.
Warranty claims due to defects expire within 12 months as of passage of risk. Legal claims expire accordingly. Intentional breaches of duty, breaches resulting from gross negligence, lack of guaranteed characteristics, assumption of procurement risks and personal injury shall be governed by the statutory limitation periods.
A term of exclusion of 6 months applies for all claims that are not subject to a statute of limitations because of a defect. This term begins from the moment when the damage is discovered and the party causing the damage is known. This does not apply for compensation claims resulting from an intentional failure to fulfill obligations or gross negligence.
If the buyer returns an object of sale to have it repaired, and if we then establish the claim to be unfounded and warranty claims not applicable, we shall ask the buyer to collect the returned item within 4 weeks after notification or to let us know in writing whether the inspected item should be returned or repaired. We also inform the buyer that lack of written communication within this given period of time will result in us being entitled to scrap the item at his expense. Shipment and repair of the object of sale are at the buyer’s expense in cases of unwarranted claims.
Any further liability with regards to claims for compensation, other than provided for in the preceding sections, is excluded, regardless of the legal nature of the claim. This applies in particular to claims for compensation for culpability at the time the contract is signed resulting from other breaches of duty or tortious compensation claims for damages. This limitation also applies providing the buyer requests expenses without substitution in place of services instead of a claim for compensation. Any further liability due to maliciously concealed discrepancies remains unaffected.
The preceding regulations also apply in the event of a violation of the product monitoring obligation. The normal service life of products supplied by us depends on the completion of the tasks listed in the documentation and/or the service supplementary documents.
The preceding liability limitations also apply to the benefit of our statutory representatives, agents, employees, commercial agents and other servants and/or assistants, depending on the reason and extent.
Orders are billed at the prices in effect at the time of order placement. Prices will be as specified by JARO THERMAL and will be applicable for the period specified in JARO THERMAL’S quote. If no period is specified, quoted prices will be applicable for thirty (30) days. If Customer does not purchase the quantity upon which quantity prices are based, Customer will pay the non-discounted price for the quantity actually purchased and/or a cancellation or restocking fee. Prices are exclusive of taxes, impositions and other charges, including sales, use, excise, value-added and similar taxes or charges imposed by any government authority, international shipping charges, forwarding agent’s and broker’s fees, bank fees, consular fees, and document fees.
All payments must be made in the currency billed on the original invoice.
Credit cards accepted include MasterCard, VISA, and American Express. Credit Card billing information must be verified on new customers prior to shipment of order. Payment via net thirty (30) days is available to businesses and agencies with strong D&B rating, references or as otherwise specified by JARO THERMAL.
Prepaid Wire Transfer/EFT/Proforma: Customers can wire the funds to our bank. After your order is placed we will e-mail a Proforma invoice which includes our bank information, the merchandise total, shipping charges and a $25 (USD) wire transfer/ EFT fee. We will reserve stock for your order for 72 hours on orders awaiting funds. Customer is responsible for duties and taxes.
3.1 Terms of payment
FOR ALL ORDERS
Customer agrees to pay the entire net amount of each invoice from JARO THERMAL pursuant to the terms of each such invoice, without offset or deduction. Orders are subject to credit approval by JARO THERMAL, which may in its sole discretion at any time change the terms of Customer’s credit, require payment in cash, bank wire transfer/EFT or by official bank check, and/or require payment of any or all amounts due or to become due for Customer’s order before shipment of any or all of the Products. If JARO THERMAL reasonably believes that the Customer’s ability to make payments may be impaired or if Customer fails to pay any invoice when due, JARO THERMAL may suspend delivery of any order or any remaining balance thereof, until such payment is made or cancel any order or any remaining balance thereof. Customer will remain liable to pay for any Products already shipped and all Non-Standard Products ordered by Customer. Customer agrees to submit such financial information as JARO THERMAL may reasonably require for determination of credit terms and/or continuation of credit terms. Checks are accepted subject to collection and the date of collection will be deemed the date of payment. Any check received from Customer may be applied by JARO THERMAL against any obligation owing by Customer to JARO THERMAL under this or any other contract, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such check, without discharging Customer’s liability for any additional amounts owing by Customer to JARO THERMAL. The acceptance by JARO THERMAL of such check will not constitute a waiver of JARO THERMAL’S right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance. Invoices not paid when due will bear interest to date of payment at the annual rate of eighteen (18%) percent or such lower rate as may be the maximum permitted by law. If Customer fails to make payment when due, JARO THERMAL may pursue any legal or equitable remedies, in which event JARO THERMAL will be entitled to reimbursement of costs for collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees. There is a $25 (USD) service charge on all returned checks.
ACH/EFT payments are preferred by JARO THERMAL.
US Shipments
When required by law JARO THERMAL will collect Federal, State and/or Local sale, use, excise, and other taxes that apply to a Customer’s shipment. These taxes are in addition to the purchase price of the Products subject to an order. Customer will remit the correct tax unless customer is tax exempt and JARO THERMAL has a valid signed tax exemption certificate on file, which must be updated annually or JARO THERMAL has the right to charge applicable taxes.
International Shipments
All applicable VAT, PST, HST, and/or GST charges along with brokerage fees will be the responsibility of the Customer and due at the time of delivery.
All shipments by JARO THERMAL are F.O.B. point of shipment from JARO THERMALs’ facilities, and the amount of all transportation charges will be paid to JARO THERMAL by the Customer in addition to the purchase price of the Products, unless otherwise stated in writing by a JARO THERMAL authorized representative in writing. Subject to JARO THERMAL’S right of stoppage in transit, delivery of the Products to the carrier will constitute delivery to Customer and title and risk of loss will pass to Customer. JARO THERMAL will make reasonable efforts to initiate shipment and schedule delivery as close as possible to Customer’s requested delivery date(s). Customer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by JARO THERMAL are estimates only and that JARO THERMAL will not be liable for failure to deliver on such dates. Selection of the carrier and delivery route will be made by JARO THERMAL unless specifically designated by Customer. JARO THERMAL reserves the right to make deliveries in installments. Delay in delivery of one installment will not entitle Customer to cancel any other installment(s). Delivery of any installment of Products within thirty (30) days after the date requested will constitute a timely delivery. Delivery of a quantity that varies from the quantity specified shall not relieve Customer of the obligation to accept delivery and pay for the Products delivered.
6a. Product Country of Origin
JARO THERMAL maintains Country of Origin information on all products. This information is available to customers upon request.
IN NO EVENT SHALL JARO THERMAL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE including, but not limited to, damages resulting from loss of profit or revenue, recall costs, claims for service interruptions or failure to supply downtime, testing, installation or removal costs, costs of substitute products, property damage, personal injury, death or legal expenses. Customer’s recovery from JARO THERMAL for any claim shall not exceed the purchase price paid by Customer for the goods, irrespective of the nature of the claim, whether in warrant, contract or otherwise. CUSTOMER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD JARO THERMAL HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY REGARDING PRODUCTS SUPPLIED BY JARO THERMAL AND INCORPORATED INTO THE CUSTOMER’S PRODUCT.
