Delivery Penalty & Policy

​

1.  DELIVERY AND LEAD TIMES

​

• Lead times are only approximate insofar as a variation of up to one (1) month is possible, even if a delivery date has been agreed upon with the customer, unless a fixed delivery date has been agreed upon in writing. Confirmed delivery dates are subject to the correct, complete and punctual delivery of goods to our premises. A lead time is considered to be on schedule if the delivered item leaves our factory before expiry of the deadline, or if we have informed the customer of its readiness for dispatch. The lead time does not come into effect for as long as the customer has not accordingly fulfilled his obligations such as the provision of technical details and documents, loan approvals, part payments or guarantees of payment.

• We are entitled to carry out partial deliveries insofar as these are deemed reasonable by the customer and are not subsequently detrimental to usage.
  1.3. Seller(Relief Industries) reserves the right to deliver Goods in installments, insofar as they are deemed reasonable by Buyer and will not disrupt the production process.  Each installment shall be invoiced and paid for separately as though it constituted a separate contract. Shipments made thirty (30) days after a specified delivery date, if date is so specified, shall constitute good delivery, unless a firm delivery date is agreed upon in writing.

• Any delay in delivery or defect in an installment shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel any other installment, or delay payment for a prior delivery.  The quantity of any installment of Goods as recorded by Seller on dispatch from Seller’s facility is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer on delivery unless Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.

• Seller shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods (even if caused by Seller’s negligence) unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller of the non-delivery within seven (7) business days of the date when Goods would in the ordinary course of events have been received. Any liability of Seller for non-delivery of Goods shall be limited to replacing Goods within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice respecting such Goods to reflect the actual quantity delivered.1.6. Force majeure occurrences, industrial action measures including strikes and/or lockouts, and other circumstances for which we are not responsible, which are beyond our control, and which make it impossible to complete an order within the deadline release us from our delivery obligations for the duration of their occurrence.

• The return of sold, defect-free goods is prohibited in principle.
  1.8. Applications for insolvency, declarations as per Indian Government Law, emergent payment difficulties or signs of significant deterioration in the customer’s financial position entitle us to call off deliveries immediately and to refuse the fulfillment of current contracts for as long as the customer has not provided consideration in return or provided the appropriate security at our request, without the customer being able to withdraw from the contract or demand damage compensation.

• If the parties have agreed that the Customer shall collect the Goods, the Customer shall collect them from the Supplier’s premises as set out in the Order within 3 Business Days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready. Otherwise, the Supplier shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree (Delivery Location) at any time after the Supplier notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready. Delivery of the Goods shall be completed in the case of Customer collection on the Goods’ arrival at Supplier’s premises as set out in the Order, or in the case of Supplier delivery on the Goods’ arrival at the Delivery Location.

• If the Seller (Relief Industries) fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. The Supplier shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

• The Supplier shall not accept the return of Goods by the Customer to the Seller unless the Goods are defective, in which case the Customer may only return the Goods if asked to do so by the Supplier in accordance with clause of QUALITY POLICY. The Supplier shall not accept the return of any packaging materials by the Customer to the Supplier and shall not be responsible for any costs incurred by the Customer in attempting such return. The Supplier may accept the Customer’s own packaging for packing of the Goods, but in such case shall have no responsibility for any losses or damage occurring as a result of the use of the Customer’s own packaging.

​​

2. DISPATCH AND TRANSFER OF LIABILITY

​

• Liability for the delivery is transferred to the customer upon departure from our factory premises.

• Liability is transferred to the customer when the goods are ready for dispatch but dispatch is held up for reasons beyond our control and for which we are not responsible.

• The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer upon delivery, or in the case of Customer collection, upon loading upon the Customer’s vehicle at the Supplier’s premises.

​​

3. PACKAGING

​

•  Single-use packaging is not taken back.

​

4. SECURITIES

​

• We reserve the right to ownership of all our delivered good up until the time that all receivables, including partial and incidental ones owed to us by the customer within the scope of our business relationship, have been paid; in this respect, all deliveries are considered as being one comprehensive delivery transaction. With regard to current invoices, reserved ownership is held to be a security for receivables due. The above provisions also apply to future receivables.

• The customer is entitled to sell on the purchase item in due course of business. He is also entitled to process or combine it; as such, he thereupon assigns us all receivables resulting from subsequent disposal, processing, combination or other judicial reasons relating to the purchase item (in particular from insurance contracts or unauthorised dealings) to the value of the invoiced total (incl. VAT). Subsequent disposal denotes usage made by the customer for the purpose of contracts of manufacture or supply.

• The ownership claim also extends to those products resulting from the processing, mixing or combination of our goods, at their full value, with the outcome being that we are considered as the manufacturers of these products.
  Should the processing, mixing or combination with goods of a third party give rise to the latter’s proprietary rights, we shall then acquire co-ownership in proportion to the objective value of these goods. Should our ownership expire due to the combination or mixing of goods, the customer shall thereupon assign us his ownership and/or reversion rights to the new stock or item to the extent of the invoiced amount of the goods supplied by us, and shall safeguard them for us free of charge.

• Notwithstanding the assignment of his rights, the customer is entitled to call in receivables arising from subsequent disposal, as long as we have not withdrawn this entitlement. We will not call in the receivables ourselves, provided that the customer duly fulfils his payment obligations towards us. Upon our first written request, the customer is obliged to provide us with the details of the debtors of the assigned receivables, and to inform the debtors of the assignment.

• In accordance with clause 4.2, we are entitled to withdraw the customer’s right to further disposal and to collection of receivables assigned to us with immediate effect if the customer defaults on payments due to us, if he encounters payment difficulties due to a significant deterioration in his financial position, or if he fails to fulfil his commitments towards us accordingly. In the event of the customer’s application for insolvency, in the event of any default in payment, in the event of a declaration being made in lieu of an oath as per Indian Government Law or in the event of changes in ownership of the customer’s company due to payment difficulties, the right to further disposal and collection of receivables assigned to us will expire automatically.

• The customer shall safeguard the items forming part of our (joint) property with the care of a respectable trader and free of charge, and will ensure these items against fire, burglary and other risks.

• The customer is prohibited from mortgaging or pawning any supplied goods that are subject to reservation of proprietary rights. In the event of seizure or any other prejudice to our proprietary rights on the part of a third party, the customer shall immediately inform us thereof and also confirm the proprietary rights both toward us and the third party in writing. Any remaining costs incurred upon us in spite of the successful outcome of an ensuing legal dispute shall be borne by the customer.

• Applications for insolvency, declarations in lieu of an oath as per Indian Government Law, or signs of significant deterioration in the customer’s financial position, which pose a serious threat to our payment claim and entitle us to cancel the contract, entitle us to recover the goods; in such an instance, the customer hereby agrees to such recovery. Should this recovery occur, the Parties agree that we will refund or otherwise settle the costs at the usual market value at the time of recovery. Recovery of goods is only tantamount to withdrawal from the contract if this is expressly stated by us. Costs incurred by recovery (such as transportation costs) shall be borne by the customer. In cases where there has been no official notice of withdrawal, the customer may only request the delivery of recovered goods once he has paid the full purchase price and all other costs.

• Securities owed to us will not be collected if the value of our securities exceeds the nominal value of the securable receivables by 20 %. The customer can request the express removal of supplied goods from the reserved property as long as the overcollaterisation does not exceed 20%.

​

5. DELAYS

​

• If shipment or delivery is delayed for any reason caused by Buyer or in its sphere of control, including, but not limited to, requests for changes with respect to Goods, then (i) risk of loss to Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Seller, at its option, may store Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).

• Seller will not be liable for any delay in the performance of this Contract, or in the delivery or shipment of Goods, or for any damages suffered by Buyer by reason of such delay, when such delay is directly or indirectly caused by, or in any manner arises from, fires, floods, accidents, riots, acts of God, war, terror or insurrection, governmental interference or embargoes (whether by priorities, rationing or otherwise), strikes, labor difficulties, shortages of labor, fuel, power, materials or supplies, transportation delays or any other cause (whether or not similar to any of the foregoing) beyond Seller’s control.
