4. DELIVERY AND DELAY
4.1 Ordered Products that are shipped from Pedab’s warehouse shall be delivered DAP (Delivered At Place) to the Partner’s stock/premises in accordance with the latest issued Incoterms, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise in writing. In relation to Products that are not shipped from Pedab’s warehouse, e.g. because they are shipped directly from the Producer, the applicable Incoterm may differ and is set out in the relevant Order Confirmation. If delivery shall be made directly to an End Customer, such information shall be evident from the order.

4.2 Ordered Services shall be provided in accordance with the applicable Order Confirmation which shall contain any relevant information about premises, scope, timeframes, volumes, assumptions, the Partner’s responsibilities, End Customer beneficiaries and similar.

Any visible transportation damage to the goods, defects or other cargo deviations shall be reported to the carrier immediately. Such damage or deviation shall be noted on the Delivery Receipt and signed by both the chauffeur and the Partner’s representative, respectively.

4.5 Notwithstanding the above in this Section 4, Software shall be delivered in accordance with the delivery procedures as decided by Pedab, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

4.6 The Partner acknowledges that Pedab is dependent on the supply of Deliverables from the relevant Producer(s) and that such dependency may affect delivery timelines. The estimated date of delivery indicated in the Order Confirmation is approximate. Pedab shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver by the estimated delivery date, but the Partner shall have no remedy for delays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a material delay in the delivery of the Deliverables, the Partner may submit a written request to Pedab to cancel the affected order. Such cancellation shall only become effective if the relevant Producer accepts the cancellation. Upon an effective cancellation in accordance with this provision, Pedab shall refund any amounts already paid by the Partner for the cancelled Deliverables.

4.7 If Pedab reasonably anticipates that the Partner will fail to fulfill an obligation in the Agreement, Pedab may cancel its delivery of Deliverables and request the Partner to provide Pedab with an acceptable security for the Partner’s rightful fulfillment of its obligations.

 

5. PRICE, PAYMENT AND TAXES
5.1 The prices for the Deliverables are set out in the Order Confirmation. All prices are stated exclusive of VAT and other taxes. Any amount payable under the Agreement shall be paid against invoice. Provided that the Partner has been granted a corresponding credit by Pedab pursuant to Section 5.6, the invoice shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.

5.2 Pedab reserves the right to, from time to time, adjust its prices. Furthermore, if the Order Confirmation or an invoice contains price information that is clearly incorrect, Pedab reserves the right to adjust the charged price after execution of such Order Confirmation or issuance of such invoice (as applicable) by sending the Partner an invoice amounting to the difference between the correct and the incorrect price. If the Partner, by virtue of such adjustment of an Order Confirmation or invoice (as applicable), no longer wants a Deliverable, the Partner may, at its own cost, request Pedab to collect the Deliverable and reimburse the purchase price to the Partner, provided that the 5.3  The Partner undertakes to inform Pedab in writing about any change of premises. If Pedab incurs any additional costs due to the Partner’s change of premises, Pedab shall have the right to adjust the fees for the Deliverables with an amount corresponding to such additional costs. 
Deliverable still is in its original condition. If the Partner discovers that an Order Confirmation or an invoice contains a price that is clearly incorrect in Pedab’s favor (i.e., overcharging the Partner), the Partner may notify Pedab in writing within five (5) Business Days of the Order Confirmation date. Pedab shall review such notification and, if the error is confirmed, issue a credit note for the difference or cancel the order at the Partner’s election.


5.3 If a Producer materially changes the price of any Deliverables after Pedab has issued an Order Confirmation to the Partner, Pedab reserves the right to adjust the price charged to the Partner accordingly by issuing a revised invoice and/or Order Confirmation, provided that (i) the price adjustment shall only apply to Deliverables that have not yet been delivered to the Partner as of the date of the revised invoice and/or Order Confirmation; (ii) if Pedab and the Partner have, for a specific period of time, agreed in writing to fixed or committed prices for certain Deliverables, the price adjustment shall not apply in relation to such Deliverables during such agreed time period; and (iii) Pedab shall notify the Partner of such price adjustment in writing within five (5) Business Days of becoming aware of the Producer’s price change and, in such notification, include written evidence documenting the Producer’s price change (subject to applicable competition laws). The Partner may, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notification, elect to: (i) accept the adjusted price; or (ii) cancel the order without penalty, in which case Pedab shall refund any amounts already paid by the Partner for the affected Deliverables. If the Partner does not respond within the specified timeframe, the Partner shall be deemed to have accepted the adjusted price.

5.4 In the event of late payment by the Partner, Pedab shall be entitled to charge late payment interest in accordance with applicable local law. Pedab may also, where applicable and if permitted under applicable law, withhold delivery or part thereof of the Deliverables under the relevant Order Confirmation as well as other Deliverables until full payment has been made. In addition, administrative fees for written payment reminders may be charged the Partner. Reference is also made to Section 15.3 in relation to a material breach.

5.5 In case the Partner disputes an invoice (which may only be made in good faith), the Partner must send a written notice, stating the disputed amount and the reasons for the dispute, to Pedab no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the issuance of the disputed invoice. Otherwise, the invoice shall be deemed accepted by the Partner. Amounts that are subject to a good faith dispute shall not accrue late payment interest for the duration of such dispute, provided that it is subsequently determined that the disputed amount was rightfully disputed and the Partner has complied with the notice requirements set out under Section 5.5.

5.6 Pedab may grant the Partner a credit limit. Pedab may from time to time adjust the Partner’s credit limit, including but not limited to decreasing such credit limit to zero (0). Pedab may also terminate a credit granted to the Partner at any time, if Pedab would deem the Partner to no longer be credit-worthy.

5.7 The Partner shall fulfill any applicable tax regulations in relation to the Agreement, including but not limited to tax regulations regarding chemicals (where applicable).

5.8 Proceeds distributed in connection with selling competitions always accrue to the Partner and any tax relating to such proceeds shall be  paid by the Partner
