The risk related to the release of the Goods shall be borne by the Buyer in such a situation, as long as the release of the Goods takes place on the date and place of delivery in accordance with the concluded contract.

  10. Long-term orders, in particular "back orders", remain in force despite exceeding the delivery date, if this occurs for reasons for which the Seller is not responsible, in particular as a result of supplier delays and other external reasons.

After the expiry of the payment deadline for any obligations of the Buyer, the Seller has the right to suspend the delivery of any Goods to the Buyer or the performance of any Services for the Buyer, and all financial obligations of the Buyer towards the Seller become immediately due and payable, regardless of the previously agreed payment dates. Suspension of deliveries or the Seller's use of other rights provided for in these GTS in the event of the Buyer's delay in payment deprive the Buyer of the possibility of pursuing any claims for non-performance or improper performance of the contract, in particular claims for damages for damages caused to the Buyer as a result of suspending deliveries, making all receivables of the Seller against the Buyer payable, or the Seller exercising other rights referred to in the GTCS.
  6. The Buyer, who makes regular purchases from the Seller, may be granted a trade credit, ie a postponement of payment deadlines by the Buyer for the purchased Goods or Services, on the terms and in the amount individually agreed by the Parties.

    • lack of any payment arrears of the Buyer towards the Seller,

  10. At the Seller's request, in particular if the Buyer applies for a trade credit, the Buyer shall provide the Seller with a bank or insurance guarantee, a recognized credit or insurance institution, or other appropriate security chosen by the Seller (e.g. blank promissory note, surety, etc.), securing the Seller's claims for payment of the price/remuneration for the Goods or Services. The seller is entitled to demand such security at any time, at its sole discretion. Until the Buyer presents the above-mentioned security, the Seller may suspend the conclusion of the contract, acceptance/confirmation of the order, or execution of the order without any obligation to the Buyer.
  11. In the event of becoming aware of any circumstances/indications indicating the Buyer's loss of financial liquidity or the Buyer's lack of creditworthiness, in particular if it is not possible to execute bills of exchange or checks issued by him, or the Buyer is late with any payments, etc., the Seller may, at its own discretion and choice, withhold the execution of submitted but unrealized orders, or make their execution conditional on the submission of certain securities by the Buyer, or on the payment by the Buyer of the price/remuneration in advance, before the previously agreed payment dates - in this case, the Seller's receivables for payment become due upon the expiry of the deadline set for the Buyer by the Seller in writing, under pain of suspending the execution of the order. In the event of ineffective expiry of the above-mentioned deadline, the Seller may, at its own discretion, withdraw from the order/contract or from any contracts concluded with the Buyer, without separate requests, in whole or in part. The Buyer is not entitled to any claims against the Seller on this account. The right to withdraw referred to above may be exercised by the Seller within 90 days from the date on which the Seller became aware of the grounds for withdrawing from the order/contract.
  12. If the Seller exercises the right of withdrawal referred to above, the Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for all costs previously incurred by the Seller in order to conclude and perform the contract. This does not affect the Seller's right to pursue further claims for damages.
  13. The Seller has the right to transfer any receivables due to the Seller from the Buyer to any third party, in particular to a bank (factor) - without the need to obtain a separate consent of the Buyer.

Any collateral for claims obtained by the Seller from the Buyer will remain valid and effective in such a case, and may be transferred to the assignee/factor - without the need to obtain a separate consent of the Buyer.
  14. The Buyer undertakes to immediately notify the Seller in writing of each change of its registered office or address for deliveries, including the e-mail address and fax number, if they have been provided to the Seller.

  2. In the event of a delay in payments, the Seller may submit to the Buyer, or to each other, current (according to the date of sending the request for return) holder/administrator of the Goods, a written request for the return of the Goods issued and not paid in 100%.

XI. QUALITY GUARANTEE, SELLER'S RESPONSIBILITY:

  1. The Seller may provide the Buyer with its own quality guarantee for the Goods, which can only be confirmed by the AUTOS Guarantee Card issued to the Buyer together with the Goods. Failure to provide a quality guarantee by the Seller does not deprive the Buyer of the possibility to use the quality guarantee provided by the manufacturer or by another entity (importer, supplier of the Seller, etc.) - hereinafter jointly referred to as the "Manufacturer".
  2. If the AUTOS Guarantee Card is issued to the Buyer, the Seller shall be liable for the quality of the Goods only under the terms of the quality guarantee it has provided. In this case, the Seller's liability under the warranty will be excluded in full, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
  3. If the AUTOS Guarantee Card is not issued to the Buyer, the Seller shall be liable for the quality of the Goods only under the terms of the warranty, subject to the modification of the provisions of art. 556 ff. of the Civil Code in a manner analogous to that indicated in point XI item 4 - item 21 of these GTS, unless such a change would be legally inadmissible. If the Buyer is a consumer, limitation or exclusion of liability under the warranty is allowed only in cases specified in specific provisions.
  4. If the Seller grants a quality guarantee, the conditions and deadlines arising from these GTS will apply, unless the AUTOS Guarantee Card states otherwise. In the event of any discrepancies between these GTCS and the AUTOS Guarantee Card, the conditions or terms more favorable to the Seller shall apply.
  5. If the Goods are covered by the quality guarantee provided by the Manufacturer, the Buyer will be primarily obliged to submit/report complaints/defects in the warranty regime provided by the Producer, under the conditions and within the time limits specified therein, in particular if he received a warranty card with the Goods, or another equivalent document issued by the Producer of the Goods.
  6. The Seller, if possible, will provide the Buyer with the Goods with a warranty card issued by the Manufacturer and may mediate in the transfer of the complaint or the Goods to which the complaint relates to the Producer of the Goods - at the expense and risk of the Buyer. As part of the quality guarantee provided by the Producer of the Goods, the Seller shall not be charged with any obligations, risks, costs or liability in this respect, unless otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract concluded with the Buyer.
  7. The Manufacturer's decision as to the acceptance or rejection of the complaint submitted by the Buyer is not binding on the Seller, with the proviso that the Seller may base its decision on the justification of the Producer's decision or on the results of tests carried out by the Producer or on his behalf. The Seller will be entitled to reject the complaint under the quality guarantee provided by him, without the need for its substantive consideration, if it is found that the Buyer has not exhausted the quality guarantee provided by the Manufacturer.
  8. Any rights or claims under the quality guarantee provided by the Seller may be acquired by the Buyer provided that the full payment for the Goods or Services is made within the time limit indicated on the invoice. The above means in particular that the Buyer may not withhold the payment of the price for the Goods or remuneration for the Service in connection with the complaint, or make the payment conditional on accepting the complaint or removing the defect. If a complaint is submitted before the deadline for payment of the price for the Goods or remuneration for the Service, the Seller shall be entitled to suspend the complaint procedure until the Buyer pays 100% of the price or remuneration. If a trade credit is granted to the Buyer for a period longer than 3 months from the date of delivery of the Goods, the Buyer's submission of a complaint under the quality guarantee provided by the Seller results in the immediate maturity of the Seller's claim for payment of the price for the complained Good or remuneration for the Service related to the complained Good. In this case, the Buyer will be obliged to pay 100% of the price or remuneration no later than within 14 days from the date of submitting the complaint.
  9. As part of its quality guarantee, the Seller undertakes to remove defects in the Goods free of charge, by repairing or replacing them with new ones, free of defects, at the Seller's discretion. The Seller may release himself from the obligation to remove the defect if the cost of its removal is, in the opinion of the Seller, grossly high. In this case, the Seller may withdraw from the contract with the Buyer, with the return of the price paid by the Buyer, after deducting the benefits obtained by the Buyer related to the use of the Goods in the period before the defect occurred. For the purposes of the above provision, the Parties assume that the period of full depreciation of the Goods will be 3 years, and the value of the Buyer's benefits will be determined in proportion to the period in which the Buyer used the Goods (or could use them) before notifying the Seller of the discovery of its defect.
  10. If it is granted by the Seller, the quality guarantee period for the Goods will be 12 months from the date of their delivery to the Buyer (the first one), unless the Seller stipulated a different quality guarantee period in the AUTOS Guarantee Card issued to the Buyer, but in any case not longer than quality guarantee provided by the Manufacturer.
  11. The Buyer will be entitled to make any claims under the quality guarantee provided by the Seller only if he has previously examined the Goods, and immediately notified the Seller of all noticed (obvious) defects, not later than within 7 days from the date of delivery of the Goods.
  12. The Seller will be released from liability under the quality guarantee if the Buyer knew about their defect at the time of purchase or delivery of the Goods, or should have known about it, in particular if he is a professional.
  13. In the event of defects in the Goods, in order to take advantage of the quality guarantee provided by the Seller, the Buyer will be obliged to:
    • refrain from their use, assembly, commissioning, configuration, etc. of the Goods.

    • securing the Goods against damage,
    • cooperate with the Seller in explaining the causes of defects,
    • deliver the complained Goods to the Seller or other entities acting on his behalf, in order to examine the Goods and determine the legitimacy of the complaint. In the case of purchases made through the Seller's Branches, the Buyer shall deliver the Goods to the Branch through which he purchased the Goods, at his own cost and risk. The Seller does not accept COD shipments sent to him. The goods will be delivered by the Buyer in the original packaging, or in another equivalent packaging ensuring its safe transport and storage,
    • provide the Seller with proof of purchase of the Goods, as well as proof of exhaustion of the quality guarantee provided by the Manufacturer.
  14. The Complaint Report referred to in point 13 lit. b) above, should contain a detailed description of the defect, as well as the date and circumstances of its disclosure. The Buyer shall attach photos of the defective Goods or photos of the defective element of the Goods to the notification.

The deadline for considering the complaint may be extended by the Seller in justified cases, in particular if its assessment requires conducting tests, consulting the Manufacturer or an expert, about which the Seller will inform the Buyer within the time limit specified above, indicating at the same time the estimated date of completion of the complaint procedure.
  16. The Seller's liability under the quality guarantee may only cover defects caused by reasons inherent in the Goods as at the date of delivery of the Goods to the Buyer. The quality guarantee provided by the Seller shall not cover defects in the Goods resulting in particular from: a) improper or inconsistent with the instructions, or with the normal purpose of the Goods and their properties, assembly, commissioning, configuration, use, etc. of the Goods, b) use of inappropriate materials and devices to be installed, commissioned, configured, etc. of the Goods, c) non-compliance, lack of compatibility, etc. of the Goods with other devices, d) improper protection, transport, unloading or storage of the purchased Goods, unless the Seller has assumed responsibility in this regard on the stage of concluding a contract for a given Good, e) natural disasters or other unpredictable random events.
