Inspire Nordic AS · Org. no. 938 176 760 · Birkedalsveien 34, 4640 Søgne
1. DEFINITIONS
Supplier means Inspire Nordic AS. Buyer means the company placing and accepting an order. Delivery time and place are those agreed in the order confirmation. The order confirmation, freight confirmation, customer material and sample are understood as described in these terms.
2. AGREEMENT
By accepting an order confirmation, the Buyer accepts these general sales terms and any attachments. The terms are considered accepted unless the Buyer raises written objections within 24 hours of receipt.
3. AGREEMENT DOCUMENTS
The agreement consists of the order confirmation or freight confirmation, any separate agreement document with attachments, and these general sales terms. In the event of conflict, documents take precedence in that order.
4. DELIVERY
Delivery takes place when ordered goods are delivered or made available to the Buyer at the agreed delivery location. Estimated delivery times are not fixed. Delays outside the Supplier’s control do not give the Buyer a right to compensation beyond applicable law.
5. SUPPLIER AND BUYER OBLIGATIONS
The Supplier will deliver the agreed products at the agreed quality and volume. The Buyer must provide complete and accurate customer material, approvals and reasonable cooperation necessary for production and delivery.
6. LIABILITY FOR SUBCONTRACTORS
The Supplier may use subcontractors and production partners to perform the agreement and remains responsible for their work to the extent required by law and these terms.
7. SAMPLES AND APPROVAL
For specially developed or customised products, the Supplier will provide a physical or digital sample for the Buyer’s approval before production begins. Lack of written response within the stated period is treated as approval.
8. PRICING AND ADJUSTMENTS
Prices are agreed in the order confirmation and stated in Norwegian kroner unless otherwise agreed. The Supplier may adjust prices for documented currency, freight or raw-material changes that materially affect the agreed cost price.
9. PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Buyer shall pay within 20 days after delivery unless the order confirmation states otherwise. For customised goods, the Supplier may require advance payment of up to 50 per cent of the agreed price.
10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Designs, patterns, drawings, product development and technical specifications prepared by the Supplier remain the Supplier’s intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing. Customer material remains the Buyer’s property and responsibility.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY
Each party shall treat confidential information concerning the other party’s business, products, prices, designs and commercial conditions as confidential, both during and after the agreement.
12. PERSONAL DATA
Where the parties process personal data about each other’s contact persons or employees, processing shall comply with applicable data-protection legislation and the GDPR.
13. OWNERSHIP AND RISK
Ownership passes to the Buyer when the Buyer takes possession of the goods after delivery. The Supplier retains a security interest in delivered goods until full payment has been received.
14. BREACH
A breach by the Supplier occurs where ordered goods are not delivered in accordance with the quality, requirements and volume agreed in the order confirmation, subject to agreed production tolerances.
15. INSPECTION AND COMPLAINTS
The Buyer shall inspect goods promptly after receipt and notify the Supplier in writing of defects within the applicable complaint period. The Buyer shall document any claimed defects and provide samples when reasonably required.
16. REMEDY
Following a valid complaint, the Supplier has the right, but not the obligation, to remedy the defect within 30 days. The Supplier covers freight costs for goods returned in accordance with the agreed remedy process.
17. PRICE REDUCTION
If a valid defect is not remedied in accordance with these terms, the Buyer may be entitled to a proportionate price reduction reflecting the reduced value of the delivered goods.
18. TERMINATION
If the Supplier’s breach is material, the Buyer may terminate the agreement with immediate effect where the breach cannot reasonably be remedied. The Supplier may likewise terminate for a material breach by the Buyer.
19. COMPENSATION
The Supplier’s liability is limited to the value of the delivery to which the claim relates. The Supplier is not liable for indirect loss, loss of profit, operational interruption or consequential loss, to the extent permitted by law.
20. CANCELLATION
The Buyer may not cancel goods after the Supplier has issued an order confirmation. If a cancellation is nevertheless accepted, the Buyer shall cover documented costs and commitments incurred as a result.
21. INSOLVENCY
If debt negotiations, composition proceedings, bankruptcy or another form of creditor arrangement is opened for either party, the other party may terminate the agreement with immediate effect.
22. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither party is liable for delay or non-performance caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including natural events, war, strikes, pandemics, transport disruption, public authority measures or significant raw-material shortages.
23. ASSIGNMENT
Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under the agreement without the other party’s written consent. The Supplier may assign or pledge claims for payment to a third party.
24. AMENDMENTS
Amendments or additions to the agreement are valid only where agreed in writing by both parties.
25. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES
The agreement is governed by Norwegian law. Disputes that cannot be resolved amicably shall be brought before Agder District Court in Kristiansand, as the agreed legal venue.
26. DOCUMENT STATUS
These terms form part of the agreement between Inspire Nordic AS and the Buyer. For questions relating to a current order, please contact us using the details in your order confirmation.
