Hectronic shall at the request of the Supplier assist him in taking any measures necessary to protect the Supplier’s title to the Product according to contract and country laws. The retention of title shall not affect the passing of risk under Clause 13.

TIME FOR DELIVERY. DELAY

16. If it is apparent to the Supplier that he will not be able to deliver by the stipulated delivery date, the Supplier has an obligation to notify Hectronic at once of the expected or the actual delay and its cause in writing. The Supplier undertakes to limit the delay as much as possible and any detrimental effects arising therefrom. This also entails an obligation to cover additional transportation costs and if possible, with the written agreement of Hectronic, to procure the ordered product from other manufacturers or dealers.

17. If delay in delivery is caused by any of the circumstances mentioned in Clause 52 or by an act or omission on the part of Hectronic, including suspension under Clauses 27 or 55, the time for delivery shall be extended by a corresponding period. This provision applies regardless of whether the reason for the delay occurs before or after the agreed time for delivery.

18. If the Product is not delivered at the time for delivery (as defined in Clauses 16 and 17), Hectronic is entitled to liquidated damages from the date on which delivery should have taken place. The liquidated damages shall correspond to 1-one-per cent of the total purchase price for each commenced week that delivery is delayed. The liquidated damages shall not exceed 10-ten-per cent of the agreed purchase price. The liquidated damages can be settled by direct deduction from the Supplier’s invoice. Hectronic shall forfeit his right to liquidated damages if he has not lodged a claim in writing for such damages within six months after the time when delivery should have taken place.

19. If the delay in delivery is such that Hectronic is entitled to maximum liquidated damages under Clause 18 and if the Product is still not delivered, Hectronic may in writing.to the Supplier terminate the Order. If Hectronic terminates the Order, or any part thereof, he shall be entitled to compensation for the loss he has suffered as a result of the Supplier’s delay. The Supplier agrees that Hectronic may return part or all of any shipment so made, and if order calls for partial shipments, balance may be cancelled or suspended upon notice, and Hectronic may charge the Supplier with any loss or expense sustained as a result of such failure to deliver as specified. Hectronic shall also have the right to terminate the contract by notice in writing to the Supplier, if it is clear from the circumstances that there will occur a delay in delivery which, under Clause 18 would entitle Hectronic to maximum liquidated damages. In case of termination on this ground, Hectronic shall be entitled to maximum liquidated damages and termination support as defined under Clause 50. In the event of termination on these grounds, or if Hectronic is prepared to accept such late delivery, Hectronic is entitled to demand additional compensation for the loss it has sustained as a result of the breach of contract over and above the level of the accrued liquidated damages.

20. Liquidated damages under Clause 18 and termination of the contract with defined compensation under Clause 19 are the only remedies available to Hectronic in case of delay on the part of the Supplier. All other claims against the Supplier based on such delay shall be excluded, except where the Supplier has been guilty of a negligent breach of a condition which goes to the root of the contract, intent or gross negligence. In these General Conditions gross negligence shall mean an act or omission implying either a failure to pay due regard to serious consequences, which a conscientious supplier would normally foresee as likely to ensue, or a deliberate disregard of the consequences of such act or omission.

21. If Hectronic anticipates that he will be unable to accept delivery of the Product at the delivery time, he shall forthwith notify the Supplier in writing thereof, stating the reason and, if possible, the time when he will be able to accept delivery. The Supplier shall arrange for storage of the Product at the risk and expense of Hectronic. The Supplier shall also, if Hectronic so requires, insure the Product at Hectronic’s expense.

22. Unless Hectronic’s failure to accept delivery is due to any such circumstance as mentioned in Clause 52, the Supplier may by notice in writing require Hectronic to accept delivery within a final reasonable period. If, for any reason for which the Supplier is not responsible, Hectronic fails to accept delivery within such period, the Supplier may by notice in writing terminate the Order in whole or in part. The Supplier shall then be entitled to compensation for unavoidable loss for the Supplier by loss he has suffered by reason of Hectronic’s default. By negotiation in good faith and with Hectronic’s right to audit, the Supplier shall be reimbursed and indemnified by Hectronic against any and all reasonable direct costs and expenses. The compensation shall not exceed two thirds of the purchase price which is attributable to that part of the Product in respect of which the contract is terminated.

LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS. WARRANTIES

28. Pursuant to the provisions of Clauses 29-43 inclusive, the Supplier expressly warrants, and is liable for all faults in any Products that may occur as the result of shortcomings in his own design (where design is Supplier´s responsibility), materials, workmanship and production and that they comply with the requirements of the purchase order and any drawings, design or specifications referred to. The Supplier also warrants that the products shall be fit and sufficient for the purpose intended, for a warranty period of 24 months. Complaints may be made about faulty goods whenever they are found in Hectronic’s system, regardless of whether they belong to an approved delivery or not.

29. Hectronic is entitled to draw and retain goods which are not faulty from batches which otherwise are faulty. The supplier shall remain liable as provided above for faulty goods for 24 months from the time the products have been delivered to Hectronic’s customers. The supplier is also liable after this date for faults in assembled goods which are of the same character or have the same cause as faults which were identified before the end of the 24 months period, so called “repeated defects”.

30. When a defect in a part of the Product has been remedied, the Supplier shall be liable for defects in the repaired or replaced part under the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the original Product for a period of 24 months.

31. Hectronic is entitled either to return the faulty Products to the supplier, in which case Hectronic is entitled at his own option to (i) a replacement delivery or a refund of the purchase price or in urgent cases (ii) to deal with the fault himself, in which case the supplier shall compensate Hectronic for the direct costs incurred in rectifying the fault. Distribution to and from suppliers on account of faulty goods shall be at the supplier’s risk and expense. Where the defect is such that it may cause damage, Hectronic shall immediately inform the Supplier in writing. If the Supplier has reason to believe that the defect may result in damage to the Products, or other damage, he shall immediately inform Hectronic.

32. On receipt of the notice under Clause 31 (i), the Supplier shall remedy the defect without undue delay and at his own cost as stipulated in Clauses 29-43 inclusive. Repair shall be carried out at the place where the Product is located unless the Supplier deems it appropriate that the defective part or the Product is returned to him for repair or replacement. The Supplier is obliged to carry out dismantling and reinstallation of the part if this requires special knowledge. If such special knowledge is not required, the Supplier has fulfilled his obligations in respect of the defect when he delivers to Hectronic a duly repaired or replaced part.

33. If Hectronic has given such notice as mentioned in Clause 31 and no defect is found for which the Supplier is liable, the Supplier shall be entitled to compensation for the costs he has incurred as a result of the notice.

34. Hectronic shall at Suppliers expense arrange for any dismantling and reassembly of equipment other than the Product, to the extent that this is necessary to remedy the defect.

35. Unless otherwise agreed, necessary transport of the Product and/or parts thereof to and from the Supplier in connection with the remedying of defects for which the Supplier is liable shall be at the risk and expense of the Supplier. Hectronic shall follow the Supplier’s instructions regarding such transport.

36. Unless otherwise agreed, Supplier shall bear any additional costs which the Supplier incurs for repair, dismantling, installation and transport as a result of the Product being located in a place other than the destination stated in the contract or – if no destination is stated – the place of delivery.

37. Defective parts which have been replaced shall be made available to the Supplier and shall be his property.

38. If, within a reasonable time, the Supplier does not fulfill his obligations under Clause 32, Hectronic may by notice in writing fix a final time for completion of the Supplier’s obligations. If the Supplier fails to fulfill his obligations within such final time, Hectronic may himself undertake or employ a third party to undertake necessary remedial works at the risk and expense of the Supplier. Where successful remedial works have been undertaken by Hectronic or a third party, reimbursement by the Supplier of costs expenses and losses incurred by Hectronic shall be in full settlement of the Supplier’s liabilities for the said defect.

39. Where the defect has not been successfully remedied, as stipulated under Clause 31, Hectronic is entitled to (i) a full refund of the purchase price in proportion to the purchase value of the returned Product, or (ii) where the defect is so substantial as to significantly deprive Hectronic of the benefit of the contract, Hectronic may terminate the contract by notice in writing to the Supplier. Hectronic is then entitled to compensation for the loss he has suffered

40. The Supplier is not liable for defects arising out of materials provided, or a design stipulated or specified by Hectronic.

41. The supplier has been informed of the intended use of the goods and takes full responsibility for the goods being suitable for the intended use, and is liable only for defects which appear under the conditions of operation provided for in the contract and under proper use of the Product. The Supplier’s liability does not cover defects which are caused by faulty maintenance, incorrect erection or faulty repair by the Hectronic, or by alterations carried out without the Supplier’s consent in writing. Finally the Supplier’s liability does not cover normal wear and tear or deterioration.

43. Save as stipulated in Clauses 28-42, the Supplier shall not be liable for defects. This applies to any loss the defect may cause including loss of production, loss of profit and other indirect loss. This limitation of the Supplier’s liability shall not apply if he has been guilty of gross negligence as defined in Clause 20, or if the Supplier negligently causes damage to life, body or health. Furthermore, the limitation of liability shall not apply in cases of negligent breach of a condition which goes to the root of the Order. In the case of slight negligence the Supplier shall be liable only for reasonable foreseeable damage which is intrinsic to the Order.

ALLOCATION OF LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE PRODUCT

44. The Supplier shall be responsible for and shall indemnify Hectronic and/or Hectronic clients with respect to death and/or personal injury to Hectronic or its clients´ employees/representatives and damage to Hectronic (and/or its clients´) property, resulting from the Products or its personnel. Consequently the Supplier undertakes to indemnify Hectronic against liability incurred by Hectronic in respect of third parties for damage caused by the supplied items including to indemnify and hold harmless Hectronic for any costs incurred by it as a consequence of a court order or reasonable decision by Hectronic to retrofit and/or recall a final product into which the goods have been incorporated, provided, however, the goods are the reason for such retrofit and/or recall.

45. The Supplier shall take out sufficient insurance to cover its obligations under this article. In the event that the Supplier damages any item of the Products, the Supplier shall bear the costs of repair or replacement of such item in a timely manner including the insurance or transportation costs.

CHANGE ORDER

46. Hectronic has the right at any time, by written change order issued by an authorized buyer of Hectronic (i) to order such variations to the scope of supply as in Hectronic’s opinion are desirable. Variations to the scope of supply may include an increase or decrease in the quantity, suspend production in whole or in part, or change in quality, kind or execution of the work or any part thereof. (ii) to make changes in drawings, designs, specifications, method of shipment or packing, or time or place of delivery, require additional work, or direct the omission of work.

47. If any such change causes a decrease or increase in the cost of, or the time required for, the completion of this order an equitable adjustment shall be made in the contract price, or delivery date or schedule, or both and this order shall be modified in writing accordingly. Any claim for adjustment under this paragraph shall conclusively be deemed waived unless asserted in writing within ten (10) days from the date of receipt by the Supplier of the change order. The amount of the claim shall be stated when it is submitted. Where the cost of property made obsolete or excess as a result of a change is included in Supplier´s claim for adjustment, Hectronic shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of such property.

48. Other type of information shall not excuse Supplier from proceeding with the Order as changed. Hectronic’s engineering and technical personnel may, from time to time, render assistance or give technical advice to, or affect an exchange of information with Supplier´s personnel in a liaison effort concerning the supplies or services to be furnished hereunder. Such exchange of information or advice shall not vest Supplier with authority to change the supplies or services hereunder or the provisions of the order.

TERMINATION

49. Hectronic has the right, without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, to terminate all or any parts of this Order without incurring any liability by Hectronic to the Supplier on account thereof if the Supplier (i) fails to make any delivery in accordance with the agreed delivery date or schedule within a reasonable time frame or otherwise fails to observe or comply with any of the other instructions, terms, conditions or warranties applicable to the order, or fails to make progress so as to endanger performance of the order, or (ii) ceases or threatens to cease to carry on a substantial part of its business, enters into liquidation, or becomes subject to full or partial control of another company, or in the event of any proceeding by or against Supplier in bankruptcy or insolvency or for appointment of a receiver or trustee of an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Hectronic may then purchase similar supplies or services elsewhere on such terms and in such manner, as Hectronic finds appropriate.

50. Upon termination of the Order the Supplier shall render all necessary assistance to Hectronic upon request to effect an orderly hand-over so that the products are supplied with the minimum level of interruption or inconvenience. Hectronic is also entitled to have the full use of tools, production equipment, production documentation and the like.

51. Termination without cause: Hectronic may cancel/terminate any pending (in process) Order in whole or in part, without cause and without prior written notice given to the Supplier. In this case, subject to prior negotiation in good faith and to Hectronic right to audit, the Supplier shall be reimbursed and indemnified by Hectronic against any and all direct costs and expenses, which are reasonable and properly chargeable by the Supplier in connection with the Order to the extent to which such costs and expenses would otherwise represent an unavoidable loss for the Supplier by reason of the cancellation or termination of the Order. Any amount reimbursed by Hectronic shall be in lieu of and exclusive of any other remedy.

FORCE MAJEURE

52. Neither the Supplier nor Hectronic can demand compensation for losses sustained by the respective parties arising out of delay on their respective parts if the party in default can establish that the delay on its part or caused by a third party supplier was caused by issues beyond the control of the parties, such as: national union disputes; fire; war; extensive military mobilization, requisitioning or seizure; foreign exchange restrictions; riots and commotion; shortage of means of transportation; or a limitation in the supply of power and faulty or delayed deliveries from sub-contractors which could have been relieved as aforesaid.

53. The party claiming to be affected by Force Majeure shall notify the other party in writing without delay on the intervention and cessation of such circumstance. If Seller has observed or ought to have observed that such circumstances, but fails to inform Hectronic within a reasonable delay, seller loses his rights to claim relief thereto.

54. The exclusion of liability applies as long as the hindrance exists, but Hectronic retains the right to terminate the contract if it entails a delay that would normally give rise to such a right, pursuant to Clause 17 above. If the circumstances referred to above still exist after 6 months, and if it is considered the agreement cannot be completed later without significant inconvenience to the party concerned, Hectronic is entitled to cancel the agreement in writing.

ANTICIPATED NON-PERFORMANCE

55. Notwithstanding other provisions in these General Conditions regarding suspension, each party shall be entitled to suspend the performance of his obligations under the contract, where it is clear from the circumstances that the other party will not be able to perform his obligations. A party suspending his performance of the contract shall forthwith notify the other party thereof in writing.

CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES

56. Save as otherwise stated in these General Conditions there shall be no liability for either party towards the other party for loss of production, loss of profit, loss of use, loss of contracts or for any other consequential or indirect loss whatsoever. The said exclusion of liability shall not apply if the Supplier in the case of intent or gross negligence (under clause 20) causes damage to life, body or health. Furthermore, the exclusion of liability shall not apply in cases of negligent breach of a condition which goes to the root of the contract. In the case of a slightly negligent breach of a condition which goes to the root of the contract, the Supplier shall be liable only for reasonably foreseeable damage which is intrinsic to the contract. Nor shall the exclusion of liability apply in the cases of strict liability under any national Product Liability Act, for defects of the Product causing dead or personal injury, or damage to items of property used privately. Neither does the said exclusion apply in the case of damage attributable to fraudulent concealment or despite specific guarantees.

WAIVER, MISC

57. The failure of Hectronic to enforce at any time any of the provisions of the Order including these General Purchase Conditions, or to require at any time the performance by the other of any of the provisions hereof, shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the validity of the Order nor of these General Purchase Conditions or any part hereof, or the right of Hectronic thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement.

58. In the event that any provision in the Order shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect upon, the remaining provisions of the Order, provided that the effect upon the remaining provisions does not substantially change the designated legitimate interests of either of the Parties. In the event such severance substantially changes such interest, both Parties shall agree in good faith upon a mutually acceptable alternative provision of an equivalent effect.

59. Neither the Order nor any term or condition hereof shall be amended or varied in any manner except by an instrument in writing of even or subsequent date hereto signed by a duly authorized representatives of each Party.

DISPUTES AND APPLICABLE LAW

60. Supplier and Hectronic agree that all disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said rules.

61. The contract shall be governed by the substantive law of Sweden

62. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with the Order or any other agreements arising out of or relating to it, which is not amicably settled between the Parties within sixty (60) calendar days, shall be settled through legal channels.
