Supplier’s prices are Ex works basis. Loading of the cargo as per the transporters directions shall be arranged by Supplier. However for Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC*) Supplier’s scope is limited to the following:

  

i)

Supplier will strictly load the vehicle as per the directions of the transport company. Supplier’s liability ends as soon as the vehicle moves out of Suppliers premises.

  

ii)

Supplier will not be liable for any damage caused to the material, vehicle carrying the material or to any third party during transit of goods from Supplier’s plant to the final destination.

  

iii)

Buyers appointed Transport Company shall be liable to obtain the required permissions for transportation of over dimensional cargo (ODC) from Suppliers premises till the final destination. Once the transport approaches the Supplier for the collection of material, it shall be presumed that Buyer has advised his transporter to collect the consignment after ensuring that the necessary permissions to move/transport the ODC consignment has been obtained.

 

6.6

Definition of Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC*)

  

i)

As per Central Motor Vehicle Rules (Section 93, Sub Section 2, Page No 68), Indian Government defines the height limit for all mechanical trucks and trailers at 3800 mm (3.8 meters) from the surface of the road. This means that if we load a cargo of height 2450 mm (2.45 meters) on a vehicle having a platform height of 1400 mm (1.4 Meters), the total height of the cargo from the surface of the road  will be above 3800mm (3.8 meters), hence the cargo will qualify as ODC.

  

ii)

 In case of length and width, the government has provided upper limits. The upper limit for length of the cargo is 12000 mm for rigid trucks, 16000 mm for articulated vehicles (also called trailers). The maximum width permissible is 2600 mm (2.6 meters) for all vehicles (Refer CMVR Section 93, Page No 68). Considering this upper bound, if cargo is wider than 2600 mm (2.6 meters), it is qualified as ODC even if the loading deck exceeds the cargo width.

7.

Payment Terms

 

Buyer shall pay for all Products as mutually agreed in the contract. Payment shall be deemed to have been made when payment is received by an electronic transfer, Cheque, Demand Draft on realization in Supplier’s bank account.

litigation expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Supplier in the collection of late payment. In addition to any remedies under law, Supplier may at its sole discretion suspend future deliveries or services until all delinquent payments due are received.

9.

Acceptance of Terms & Conditions

 

These terms and conditions are applicable to all the sales, goods & services provided by the Supplier. Any purchase order or agreement made by the Buyer is subject to these Terms & Conditions unless otherwise agreed in writing.

10.

Delivery

 

Delivery dates are estimates only and not guarantees. Partial deliveries shall be permitted. Supplier will not be liable for any delays in delivery due to fire, flood, governmental acts or other circumstances beyond Supplier’s control (Please refer to clause no. 8 above).

The contractual delivery period will begin from the date we receive technically and commercially clear Purchase Order. Since the products manufactured by the supplier are customized and are of specific requirement of the Buyer & have no other commercial value, it is not possible to register the order and initiate production without an effective Contract Review. Letter of Intent and Verbal confirmation of an order will be treated as incomplete. The delivery period would commence only after receipt of Technically and Commercially clear Purchase Order.
Wherever Quality Assurance Plan, Drawings, Manufacturing Process Plan & Material Sampling and Test Plan are required to be approved by the buyer. The contractual delivery period shall commence from the day Supplier receives these approved documents.

The Buyer agrees to accept delivery of the products on the scheduled delivery date. If the Buyer fails to accept delivery at the agreed time, the Supplier shall have the right to store the products at the Buyer’s risk and expense.

 

In the event of a delay in acceptance of delivery due to the Buyer, the Buyer shall be responsible for all costs associated with the storage of the products. This includes any fees charged by Supplier for storage space, as well as any other incidental or consequential charges incurred in maintaining the products during the storage period. Furthermore, the Buyer shall also be responsible for the cost of insurance for the products while they are in storage due to the Buyer’s delay. Written intimation regarding the readiness of the material shall be considered as the date of delivery for calculation of interest for delay in collection of material. Interest shall be charged at the rate of two percent per month compounded monthly.

Supplier will notify the Buyer of the total costs incurred i.e. cost of insurance, storage, handling charges, interest in delay of collection of material and any other incidental or consequential charges.

Supplier shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the products during the storage period, regardless of the circumstances, as long as the Supplier has exercised reasonable care in storing the products.

Unless otherwise agreed, Supplier shall decide how to dispatch the product and invoice accordingly and shall choose the type of Carrier and mode of transport.

11.

Amendments to Purchase Order

 

Supplier shall not be liable for any delays in delivery caused by actions or omissions of the buyer, including but not limited to failure to make advance payment, necessary documentations or any other act that interferes with the Supplier’s ability to fulfil the delivery schedule.

Amendments to Purchase Order are highly discouraged by the Supplier. Amendments to the purchase order are accepted in extreme circumstances with prior acceptance of the Supplier in writing. It is because, the amendments can impact the Supplier’s price and delivery. If production is put on hold at the buyer’s request, Supplier will assess the situation and provide a revised delivery schedule along with price implication. If there are any factors that may further impact the delivery, the seller will also inform the buyer accordingly.

In case of amendments, our commitment for delivery made at the time of offer and order acceptance, shall be null and void. It will depend upon the nature of amendment and how much extra time and extra resources shall be needed to complete the delivery based on the availability of the production slot.

The buyer is strictly advised not to release incomplete purchase order. The purchase orders should be released only when they are complete in all respects. The Buyer is strictly advised to issue Purchase Orders only after freezing their technical requirements.

Supplier discourages amendments as they lead to delay in delivery and increased financial cost. Every time an amendment is made a lot of man hours are lost in technical evaluation of the buyer’s requirements from start to the end. It takes lot of time and effort to take back the stale documents and replace them with the new documents. The Supplier uses Microsoft Business Central ERP system. Once the process is commenced it cannot be reversed.

12.

Transfer of Ownership and Risk

  

i)

The Product shall be delivered as per terms specified in the offer and Order Acceptance. The terms of delivery and ownership shall be interpreted in accordance with the INCOTERMS in force on the date of contract.

In case of any liability of any nature like freight, insurance, taxes, duties, fees and similar charges required for import to destination country or within India, Buyer is responsible for all local taxes, duties, and other fees related to local transport and customs clearance. Supplier will not be responsible for any kind of duties, taxes, related insurance and tariff.

It is because the flow of production will get adversely affected. It takes time and planning to bring the production flow back on track.

  

vi)

Third party inspection charges are to the buyers account until and unless it is clearly agreed in writing that the price of goods is inclusive of third party inspection charges. The buyer shall be responsible for arranging the logistics for their inspectors & third party inspection agency.
