2. Ordering, Terms of Delivery and Inspection

2.1 Client shall submit orders by electronic online service, electronic mail, or any other manner to the agreed point of contact. Order means a document or other similar request (in whatever mutually agreed technical form), issued by Client where Client requests Olfactomics to provide its Products. A contract shall be deemed concluded once 1) Olfactomics has confirmed or otherwise accepted the order issued by the Client or 2) upon the delivery of the Products subject to Client’s order (“Contract”). Client shall not reschedule or cancel submitted orders.

2.2 The Products, as well as prices, specifications, quantities, delivery times and other relevant issues related to the Products, shall be defined in each Contract. The Product shall fulfil the requirements and characteristics set forth in the Contract and comply with the applicable law and regulations issued by authorities.

2.5 Time of delivery is indicated in the Contract as accurately as possible. However, delivery times are estimates only. Olfactomics shall promptly inform Client in writing of any expected delay of the delivery, the reasons and effects thereof as well as the estimated new delivery time if possible. Olfactomics shall not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by Client due to Olfactomics’s failure to meet the delivery times.

2.6 Client shall perform an inspection and quality control of each shipment without delay and latest within fourteen (14) days from the date of the delivery.

2.7 Defects, which do not substantially interfere with the use of the Product, shall not prevent the acceptance of the delivery.

2.8 The delivery shall be deemed to be accepted, (a) when Olfactomics has demonstrated that it has corrected all Defects reported by Client in writing which prevented earlier acceptance; or (b) if Client has not presented a written complaint regarding a Defect which prevents acceptance. The criteria mentioned above in this section 2.6 shall not be applied in the acceptance of partial delivery to the extent a Defect in a partial delivery could not have reasonably been noticed prior to the acceptance testing of a later delivered partial delivery.

2.9 Where any valid claim with respect to any of the Products based on any Defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to meet specification is notified to Olfactomics in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions, Olfactomics shall be entitled to replace the defective Products (or the part in question) free of charge or at Olfactomics’s sole discretion, refund to the Client the price of the defective Products, but the Supplier shall have no further liability to the Client.

6. Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights

6.1 Olfactomics shall, at its own expense defend the Client against proceedings presented against the Client claiming that a Product infringes third party intellectual property rights in the agreed country of delivery or use provided that the Client promptly notifies Olfactomics in writing of such presented claims and permits Olfactomics to defend or settle the claims on behalf to the Client and gives to Olfactomics, at the request of Olfactomics, all necessary information and assistance available and the necessary authorisations. Olfactomics shall pay all damages finally awarded in a trial or agreed to be paid to a third party if the Client has acted in accordance with the foregoing.

6.2 Olfactomics shall, however, not be liable if the claim (a) is asserted by a company, which exercises control over Client or which is controlled by Client in the way control is defined in the Accounting Act; (b) results from alteration of the product by Client or from compliance with Client’s instructions; (c) results from the use of the product in combination with any product not supplied by Olfactomics or (d) could have been avoided by the use of a released and equivalent product offered for use by Olfactomics without separate charge.

6.3 Olfactomics disclaims any representations or warranties on the use of the Product in conjunction with any application or product of the Client, nor accepts any liability where such use of the Contract product or performance of the application infringes, may infringe or is alleged to infringe patents or other intellectual property rights of any third parties. Purchase of the Product does not include any license to perform any application of the Client or any third party in any country.
