§1. GENERAL TERMS
1. These General Sales Conditions (“GSC”) form an integral part of every Sales Agreement, regardless of whether the
Sales Agreement explicitly references them.
2. The Parties shall be bound solely by the terms of the Sales Agreement together with these GSC. The provisions set out
therein are comprehensive. Accordingly, any other terms, including those found in templates, standard forms, general
conditions issued by the Buyer, trade associations, commodity exchanges, or similar bodies, shall be excluded,
whether they are referred to by the Buyer, either expressly or implicitly. Any modifications to the Sales Agreement must
be made in writing and signed by both Parties; otherwise, they shall be void.
3. Except as provided in Clause 4 below, the GSC may only be modified or waived by specific provisions contained within
an individual Sales Agreement. In case of any conflict between the terms of the Sales Agreement and the GSC, the
Sales Agreement shall prevail.
4. The Seller reserves the right to update or revise these GSC at any time. Such changes shall not affect Sales
Agreements that have already been executed. For each Sales Agreement, the version of the GSC effective on the date
of the Seller’s signature shall apply; if no signature date is indicated, the version in force on the date of conclusion of
the Sales Agreement shall govern.
5. The Seller’s failure to enforce any provision of these GSC or any right under applicable law shall not constitute a
waiver of such rights, in whole or in part, nor shall it prevent the Seller from exercising such rights at a later time.
§2. CONCLUSION OF THE SALES AGREEMENT
1. A Sales Agreement shall be valid and binding only if executed by a person duly authorized to represent the Seller,
including members of the Management Board acting within their authority or properly appointed commercial
proxies.
2. A Sales Agreement shall be deemed concluded in the following circumstances:
a. If the Buyer submits an Order using the Seller’s standard Sales Agreement form – upon the Seller signing the
form and sending it to the Buyer, no signature from the Buyer being required.
b. If the Buyer submits an Order by other means (e.g., telephone, e-mail) – three (3) days after the Seller sends a
signed Sales Agreement consistent with the Essential Conditions of the Order, unless the Buyer signs and returns
it earlier.
c. If the Sales Agreement signed by the Seller deviates from the Order regarding the Essential Conditions – upon
the Buyer signing and returning the document to the Seller.
3. Execution in documentary form, including sending a scanned signed document via e-mail to the address specified
in the Sales Agreement, shall suffice for concluding the Sales Agreement.
4. Provisions differing from the Essential Conditions in the Sales Agreement shall be deemed accepted by the Buyer
unless objections or amendments are raised within three (3) days by e-mail. Any such objections or amendments
shall be binding only if expressly accepted by the Seller. Failure to reach agreement shall prevent conclusion of
the Sales Agreement.
5. If the Buyer does not raise objections and performs under a signed Sales Agreement containing the agreed
Essential Conditions, the contract shall be considered concluded under the Sales Agreement and these GSC. Any
provisions in documents issued by the Buyer shall have no binding effect unless signed by an authorized
representative of the Seller.

accordingly.

the Seller’s bank account indicated on the invoice sent by e-mail. This term applies where the Buyer lacks valid
trade credit insurance or exceeds the insured limit.

or in part, without further notice. Withdrawal must be documented in writing within 180 days of the payment
deadline.
8. Submission of a complaint by the Buyer does not relieve it from timely payment.
9. The Seller may set off any of its receivables against the Buyer’s obligations, whether due or not, by written
declaration sent via e-mail.
10. The Buyer may not set off its receivables against the Seller without prior written consent.
