1.1. SMARTLIFT may at any time and without notice amend these terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of contract set out below (section 2) and/or any special terms and conditions which are included by posting such amendments on the website so users can read them before visiting the website or purchasing any of the goods for sale on the website.

1.2. The legal relationship between Supplier and Customer in connection with Supplier’s deliveries and/or services is governed solely by these TCC which Customer fully and expressly accepts without reservation. Except with the express written consent of Supplier, none of Customer’s terms and conditions of contract that conflict with, contradict or diverge from these TCC shall apply, and even if Supplier makes deliveries when aware of such terms and conditions of Customer this shall in no case constitute tacit acceptance of them.

1.3. These terms and conditions shall also apply to all subsequent orders including orders for spare parts and additional components and no further explicit reference to them shall be required.

1.4. Subsidiary clauses, statements, amendments and additions to these TCC and/or other agreements between the parties including when arranged remotely and in amendment of this point shall be made in writing.

1.5. Should any section of these terms and conditions be invalid or void, this shall not affect the validity of the other sections of this contract. The parties undertake to replace such invalid section by a valid provision which in financial terms is as close as legally possible to the previous provision and failing that by the law.

2 Order and order confirmation

2.1 Offers from Supplier are subject to change and shall only be binding if containing a period for acceptance. The contract is considered concluded when Customer receives Suppliers’ written confirmation of the Order.

2.2 Orders shall be placed through Supplier’s online catalogue whereby Supplier provides Customer with a website for placing their orders which is solely for businesspeople under the terms of Section 4 of the CUPA (B2B website). To confirm they are a businessperson Customer must register, and once their registration is confirmed by Supplier they will receive a customer number to place their orders. Presentation and advertisement of articles in the online shop does not under any circumstances constitute a binding offer of sale by Supplier for certain articles and products. The parties shall agree prices and delivery terms for each order. Once registration has been processed and by placing their order by clicking “submit order” or a similar button, Customer sends their order or purchase offer to Supplier and Supplier will immediately confirm it has been received by email. This email does not represent a binding acceptance of the order unless Supplier expressly states otherwise. Once the availability of the product has been confirmed, the contract is only concluded when the order is accepted by Supplier. 

3 Scope of delivery and services

3.1 SMARTLIFT reserves the right to cease providing access to any of the products offered on the website at any time and without notice.

3.2 Supplier’s written order confirmation is binding for delivery in case of purchases from the online catalogue in accordance with Section 2.2.

3.3 Supplier’s descriptions of technical features and configurations in its general catalogue or online catalogue are authoritative according to the current version on the order date for ordered and delivered goods. In all other respects, specifications in brochures, online catalogue, catalogues or general technical documents shall be binding only if Supplier has made reference to them in writing. Unless otherwise stated, any dimensions or similar specifications referred to by Supplier (for example images and drawings, also in the online catalogue) are not intended to be one hundred percent accurate within the limits of commercially accepted tolerances and the technical possibilities of remote reproduction.

5.2 Delivery time is thirty (30) calendar days and shall be considered met if the article sold has been dispatched or collected within the deadline ready for use. If delivery is delayed for reasons attributable to Customer, notice of readiness for dispatch shall be considered sufficient for this purpose.

5.3 If Customer is in default in receiving the article of sale, Supplier may claim as a contractual penalty compensation of 0.5% of the purchase price for each week of default without such penalty replacing any compensation for damage, and Supplier may require payment of the penalty together with fulfilment of the obligation. Supplier is also entitled to withdraw from the contract or otherwise dispose of the article of sale and any further claims for damages by Supplier due to Customer default in acceptance remain unaffected.

5.5 If Supplier is in default in supplying the article of sale, Customer may claim compensation for damages not to exceed 0.5% of the value of such article for each week in which the article of sale is not delivered provided it can demonstrate it has experienced an actual loss. Indemnity claims from Customer exceeding 5% of the respective value of goods shall be excluded in all cases of delayed delivery.

5.6 The parties agree that Customer may terminate the contract after giving Supplier a grace period for compliance with its obligations of not less than four weeks.

5.7 If the failure to deliver occurs as a result of force majeure, for example as a result of mobilisation, war, riot, natural disaster, interruption of communication links or similar events such as a strike or lockout, the relevant delivery period shall be automatically extended. The same shall apply if such incidents affect Supplier’s suppliers.

6 Transfer of risks

6.1 Unless otherwise agreed, all risks and rewards are transferred to Customer on delivery of the goods ex works (EXW Incoterms 2010). If Supplier is responsible for shipping, it may freely determine the type and form of shipment.

6.2 Delivered goods have to be accepted by Customer even in case of minor defects, notwithstanding the rights specified in section 9 of these terms and conditions (Period of Warranty).

6.3 If the shipment of goods is delayed for reasons that are not attributable to Supplier, the risks shall be transferred to the Buyer at the initially designated time of delivery ex works.

6.4 All shipments will generally be made in Supplier’s standard packaging. However, Supplier may choose special types of packaging at its discretion and any expenses incurred shall be borne by Customer.

7 Insurance

Delivery may be insured against breakage, carriage damage and fire at the request and cost of Customer. This shall also apply if the parties agree to freight paid delivery. If such insurance has been purchased, Supplier shall be informed immediately of any carriage damage.

8 Warranty in respect of defects

8.1 If Customer inspects the goods immediately upon receipt they may not file a claim for recovery against Supplier alleging flaw or defect in the quantity or quality of the goods. Customer may file for recovery against Supplier for defects in the quantity and quality of goods received baled or packaged provided that it does so within four days following their receipt and such defect is not due to chance, inherent vice or fraud. A claim based on internal defects of the article of sale made within 30 days of delivery is a prerequisite for any right of recovery on such grounds against Supplier (Articles 336, 342 Commercial Code). Claims based on such flaws and defects shall become time-barred at SIX MONTHS from the delivery of the article of sale (Article 1490 Civil Code).

8.2 In case of termination of the contract, Customer shall return the article sold and Supplier shall reimburse the price paid after reducing the value of returns by at least 15% of the net invoiced price for costs or servicing and reconditioning. Such reduction may be higher depending on the case, and Customer may demonstrate a lower reduction.

8.3 Supplier’s liability does not extend to natural wear and tear or to damage caused after the transfer of risks and rewards due to negligent or unforeseen use or exposure to unforeseen harsh environments or products or to external handling of the material delivered. Any claims for defects or damage caused by insufficient or inadequate calculations or documentation made or delivered by Customer or due to the use of inadequate or insufficient means or mechanical, chemical, electrochemical, electromagnetic or electrical influences that do not correspond to the intended use of the material delivered are excluded.

8.4 If the delivered material is moved after delivery to a place other than the domicile of Customer, Supplier shall not bear the additional costs for such movement including carriage, travel, labour and material costs as long as such movement does not correspond to the intended use of the delivered material about which Supplier has been duly informed by Customer.

8.5 In all cases Customer agrees to take all possible and reasonable measures to reduce the financial impact of its claim for remedy and to reduce potential damage.

8.6 Customer agrees to return the defective product to Supplier or dispose of it as instructed by Supplier or keep it available for inspection and testing.

9 Period of warranty

Notwithstanding that agreed in section 8.1, claims arising from the warranty in respect of defects shall lapse at six months from the delivery of the article of sale as long as the law does not provide for a mandatory longer term. After expiry of that period, Customer may only return the goods delivered provided that such goods do not show signs of wear, Customer bears return shipping charges and Supplier accepts the return.

10 Warranty of title

10.1 If the use of the delivered articles infringes any industrial or intellectual property right in the contract territory of Customer, Supplier shall endeavour either to provide Customer with the ability and/or right to continue using them or to amend the article under equity so that the infringement of such rights ceases. If this is not possible at a financially reasonable cost, both Supplier and Customer have the right to terminate the contract. In addition, Supplier agrees to hold Customer harmless against any claim made by a third party holder of the industrial or intellectual property rights provided such rights are undisputed or legally established by final court ruling or arbitration award.

10.2 The obligations indicated in section 10.1 are only applicable if a) Customer immediately informs Supplier of the alleged infringement of the aforementioned rights and the claims made against Customer; b) Customer gives Supplier all reasonable assistance in defence against the claims made; c) the grounds for the claim made against Customer are not an instruction given by Customer; and d) the claim made against Customer is not due to a modification of the article sold made by Customer that was not authorised by Supplier or due to use of the article sold in a way not in accordance with this contract.

11 Liability and damages

Supplier shall be liable for damages caused in case of fraud in fulfilling its contractual obligations. In all other cases, and without prejudice to mandatory legal provisions, Supplier’s contractual and tort liability is limited to acts of gross negligence. If Supplier has purchased liability or defective product insurance, it agrees to transfer to Customer any claims against the insurance company and such transfer shall release Supplier from its liability up to the cover of the transferred claim against the insurance policy. In all other cases any liability and compensation for other damages, including consequential damage such as loss of production or loss of use of the article sold or business interruption, are expressly excluded.

12 Failure to perform, default of delivery

12.1 Customer may terminate the contract without prior notice due to loss or deterioration of the article sold before delivery resulting from unforeseen or no-fault accident of Supplier. Moreover, in case of loss or deterioration of a part of the goods not attributable to Supplier, Customer shall be obliged to receive a part and the sale concluded with respect to the articles received as long as delivery is divisible and there is a justified interest in partial delivery. In this case Customer shall pay or Supplier shall return only the price for the part delivered and excluding buyer's right to ask for performance or termination of the contract for the remainder. Any further liability for Supplier is exclusively subject to section 11. If Customer refuses without just cause to accept the purchased items (default of the creditor), Supplier may request performance or termination of the contract and in the former case shall deposit the goods with the court.

12.2 If Supplier fails to deliver the goods sold in the stipulated period, Customer may with advance notice and setting a reasonable delivery time request performance or terminate the contract in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Any further rights as a result of the delay are exclusively subject to sections 5 and 11.

13 Sale to a third party

Customer may resell the article purchased in the ordinary course of its business.

14 Confidentiality, industrial property rights

14.1 Supplier reserves all property rights and copyrights and any other commercial and industrial property rights as well as its knowhow concerning the article sold including all documents, drawings, plans, manuals, technical descriptions, cost estimates and other tangible, intangible or electronic information.

The same applies to Supplier’s manufacturing, research and trade secrets to which Customer has access or otherwise becomes aware of.

14.2 Customer acknowledges all patent, copyright and other intellectual, industrial and commercial property rights of Supplier, including rights to any software provided, irrespective of whether such rights are governed by Spanish or foreign law. This protection also extends to any copies of any software provided. Sub-licensing to third parties is not allowed without written consent from Supplier.

14.3 Any reproduction of any articles sold including their components or parts is prohibited. Supplier will take legal action in case of violation and may claim for damages, including punitive damages if applicable.

14.4 Reverse engineering, i.e. analysis of the structure and the function of the software provided by Supplier, is also prohibited.

14.5 The above obligations shall apply unless Customer can prove that such data was already in its possession prior to delivery by Supplier, or it was given access to such data by a duly authorised third party independently of the sale and delivery of the article sold, or that the data in its possession are in the public domain regardless of this transaction without such public domain being attributable to Customer.

15 Social responsibility and code of conduct

It is extremely important for Supplier that all business activities take into account the social responsibility of the employer to its employees and society in general and Supplier applies this principle to itself and to its customers, suppliers and business partners.
