"Buyer" means the party contracting with Seller for products or services and identified as the purchasing entity on the face of the order or in the Purchase Agreement.
"Seller" means the party selling the applicable products or services to Buyer. References to "products" include items specifically provided for in the Purchase Agreement or incorporated in services Buyer purchases from Seller.
“Purchase Agreement” or “Agreement” means the terms and conditions set forth herein, as well as the Supplier Code of Conduct which is incorporated by reference herein https://www.corporate.carrier.com/Images/Carrier-Supplier-Code-of-Conduct-07-2020-English_tcm558-81504.pdf
and any applicable purchase agreement or order currently in effect between Seller and Buyer.
(a) Any purchase of products or services by Buyer from Seller is subject to the present terms and conditions and any fully signed Purchase Agreement between Buyer and Seller. Unless otherwise stated by Buyer, any other terms and conditions to which Seller refers in its offer, order confirmation or any other document, are expressly rejected and shall not be applicable to Buyer’s purchases. Any deviation from the present terms and conditions must be expressly agreed in writing by both Buyer and Seller by their authorised representatives.
(b) Buyer’s order constitutes an offer to purchase from Seller, which Buyer may revoke at any time before Seller accepts it. By selling products or services to Buyer, Seller confirms that the present terms and conditions apply to Buyer's purchases. Buyer’s order does not constitute an acceptance by Buyer of any Seller’s offer to sell: any quotation, any proposal, and reference in the order to any such offer to sell, quotation, or proposal shall in no way constitute a modification of any of the terms and conditions of the order.
(c) The order number specified on Buyer’s purchase order must be indicated on all correspondence and documents, including delivery or shipping documents from Seller, accompanying the provision of the products and services.
(d) Seller must acknowledge receipt of the order and confirm the delivery date to Buyer within three (3) working days from the receipt of Buyer’s order.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing between parties, prices are: (i) stated in EUR; (ii) not subject to increase for the duration of the Purchase Agreement; and (iii) Ex Works Seller (Incoterms 2010). No extra charges of any kind will be allowed unless specifically agreed to by Buyer in writing.
(b) Unless otherwise stated on the face of the order or Purchase Agreement or agreed in writing, payment terms are net due ninety (90) days from the Payment Start Date as defined below (“Due Date”) plus the number of days between the Due Date and, if any, Buyer’s next scheduled Normal Payment Date as defined below. If this payment period, or any other payment period agreed on by the parties, would be held unlawful, invalid or void, payments shall be net due sixty (60) days from the Payment Start Date.
“Payment Start Date”: the later of the required date identified on the order or Purchase Agreement, the received date of the goods and/or services in Buyer’s receiving system, or the date of receipt of valid original invoice at the address indicated by Buyer
“Normal Payment Date”: the regularly scheduled business day of the week or month on which Buyer makes payments pursuant to this article.
Unless otherwise stated on the face of the order or Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled, either directly or through an affiliated third party, to take an early payment reduction of 0.0333% of the gross invoice price for each day that actual payment precedes the Normal Payment Date. By way of examples, an early payment reduction of 2.5% would correspond to a payment made 75 days earlier than the Normal Payment Date and an early payment reduction 0.333% would correspond to a payment made ten (10) days earlier than the Normal Payment Date.
(c) The price must be stated exclusive turnover tax (VAT) which must be stated separately in accordance with the applicable VAT rules.
(d) Without prejudice to any other provision, Buyer may deduct from the price, any social security charges, contributions and taxed for which Buyer may be jointly and severally liable under the Wages and Salaries Tax and Social Security Contributions Act (“Wet Ketenaansprakelijkheid”). Payment in that matter will fully discharge Buyer vis-à-vis Seller.
(e) Buyer may set off any amount owing at any time from Seller to Buyer (or any of its affiliated companies) against any amount payable at any time by Buyer under the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Seller warrants that it is selling at the lowest prices and upon the most favorable terms (including, without limitation, volume, quality and/or payment terms) that it offers any buyer for products or services of the same or similar quality, and in comparable quantities, to that provided for in the Purchase Agreement. If, during the term of the Purchase Agreement, Seller makes an offer to sell any such products or services to a third party at a lower price or upon one or more terms that are more favorable than the price or terms then applicable under the Purchase Agreement, an equivalent reduction or modification of terms will apply to all products or services purchased thereafter for the balance of the term of the Purchase Agreement.
(g) If, under the Purchase Agreement, Buyer must purchase certain quantities of products or services from Seller and Seller does not meet the Favorable Terms as provided in this clause, Buyer will be released from its obligations with respect to any quantities of products or services available from the third party on such Favorable Terms. If at any time during the term of the Purchase Agreement: (1) a third party makes a competitive offer to sell products or services pursuant to one or more terms (including price, volume, quality and/or payment terms) that are more favorable to Buyer than the terms then in effect under the Purchase Agreement (the “Favorable Terms”), then Seller will meet, or notify Buyer that it will not meet, such Favorable Terms within fourteen (14) days of receipt of Buyer's notice thereof. Seller's failure to meet such Favorable Terms within such fourteen (14) day period shall be deemed a decision not to meet such Favorable Terms regardless of whether Seller specifically notifies Buyer thereof; or (2) Buyer anticipates that it may receive a competitive offer from a third party to sell products or services on Favorable Terms through an internet web based trading platform (an “On-Line Offer”), and Seller is provided with a written invitation to participate in the applicable on-line event that may result in an On-Line Offer at least seven (7) days prior thereto, then Seller will meet, or not meet, the Favorable Terms of the On-Line Offer during the on-line event. Seller's failure to meet such Favorable Terms during the on-line event shall be deemed a decision not to meet such Favorable Terms regardless of whether Seller specifically notifies Buyer thereof.
(h) If, under the Purchase Agreement, Buyer must purchase a percentage of its product requirements from Seller, reasonable amounts of product purchased from a third party supplier for purposes of qualifying such products shall be deemed excluded from Buyer's requirements and can be used by Buyer for commercial production and sale.
(a) Delivery dates requested by Buyer are firm and time is of the essence with respect to delivery. Seller must promptly notify Buyer in writing if Seller anticipates difficulty in complying with a required delivery date and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to meet the required delivery date. Buyer has no obligation to accept deliveries that are not made on the required delivery date. If Seller fails to meet a required delivery date, Seller shall be in default without further notice being required and Buyer may procure replacement products or services. Seller will be responsible for all costs incurred by Buyer as a result of early or late deliveries.
(b) Unless otherwise stated on the face of the order or Purchase Agreement or agreed in writing, delivery will occur, and title and risk of loss will transfer when the risk passes according to the applicable Incoterm.
(c) Seller shall be responsible at his own expense for the safe and suitable packaging and labeling of the products. Packing, preservation, labeling and marking will be in accordance with the specification drawing or as specified in the Purchase Agreement, or if not specified, the best commercially accepted practice, consistent with applicable law. The gross and net weight, shipping address, mode of packing, and in case of over-dimensional shipment the hook-points and stacking ability shall be marked on the packing. Each shipment made by Seller shall include a packing list containing, if applicable, the purchase order number, Buyer’s product identification and part number, quantity shipped, date of shipment, country of origin, product gross and net weight, product dimensions, composition by box or other packaging unit, quantity of boxes or other packaging units and quantities missing in relation to those stated on the purchase order or Purchase Agreement and such other information as Buyer may reasonably request or is required by applicable law.

(iii) upon notice to Seller, take such actions as may be required to cure all defects and/or bring the products or services into conformity with all the requirements of the Purchase Agreement; and/or

(ii) with respect to products, replace or repair the nonconforming products; or
(iii) with respect to services, re-perform all services necessary to correct any such nonconformity.
Any replacement products or services will also be subject to the above warranties and warranty period.

Any Seller claim for adjustment under this clause will be deemed waived unless asserted within thirty (30) days from Seller’s receipt of the change or suspension notification, and may only include reasonable, direct costs that will necessarily be incurred as a direct result of the change. Any change to the Purchase Agreement shall be made by a signed amendment.

Seller agrees to include this clause in any subcontracts issued.
Buyer may, by written notice to Seller specifying the extent of termination and the effective date, terminate the Purchase Agreement, or its purchase of any ordered quantity of products or services, for convenience, and Buyer and Seller shall negotiate reasonable termination costs consistent with the cost of materials and labor incurred (and not otherwise mitigated) on ordered products or services prior to the date of Buyer's termination notice, provided Seller takes all steps reasonably necessary to mitigate such costs.

(v) Buyer determines any of Seller’s representations, warranties, certifications or covenants to be untrue; or
(vi) Seller ceases to conduct its operations in the normal course of business, including inability to meet its obligations as they mature, or if any proceeding under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws is brought by or against Seller, or a receiver for Seller is appointed or applied for, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors is made by Seller;

In case of (i) to (iv) apply, Buyer shall be relieved from its obligation to make further payments to the Seller and shall be entitled to recover damages arising from such breach(s).

(a) The failure of Buyer to enforce at any time or for any period of time any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions nor the right of Buyer thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. Any check or approval of drawings by Buyer will be for Seller’s convenience and will not relieve Seller of its responsibility to meet all requirements of the order or Purchase Agreement. No claim or right arising out of a breach of the order or Purchase Agreement can be discharged in whole or part by a waiver of the claim or right unless the waiver is supported by consideration and is in writing signed by the aggrieved party.

A. Seller shall:
(a) comply with all applicable Data Privacy Laws;
(b) only collect, access, use, or share Buyer Personal Information, or transfer Buyer Personal Information to authorized third parties, in performance of its obligations under the Agreement and/or Order, in conformance with Buyer’s instructions, or to comply with legal obligations.

(c) not share, transfer, disclose or provide access to Buyer Personal Information for any third party except to provide services under the Agreement and/or Order or as required by law. If Seller does share, transfer, disclose or provide access to Buyer Personal Information to a third party, it shall:
(i) be responsible for the acts and omissions of any subcontractor or other third party, that processes (within the meaning of the applicable Data Privacy Laws) Buyer Personal Information on Supplier’s behalf in the same manner and to the same extent as it is responsible for its own acts and omissions with respect to such Buyer Personal Information;
(ii) ensure such third party is bound by a written agreement that contains the same or equivalent obligations and protections as those set forth in this Section; and
(iii) only share, transfer, disclose or provide access to a third party to the extent that such conduct is compliant with applicable law;
(d) take commercially reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of Seller’s Personnel who have access to the Buyer Personal Information and ensure that such access is on a need-to-know basis;
(e) provide such information, assistance and cooperation as Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates may reasonably require from time to time to establish Seller's compliance with Data Privacy Laws;

If Seller learns of any such complaint, request, allegation, or inquiry, Seller shall provide assistance to Buyer, fully cooperate with Buyer in investigating the matter, including but not limited to, providing the relevant information to Buyer, preparing a response, implementing a remedy, and/or cooperating in the conduct of and defending against any claim, court or regulatory proceedings. Buyer shall be responsible for communicating with individuals regarding their Buyer Personal Information in connection with such Data Privacy Matters unless Buyer authorizes Seller to do so on its behalf. Seller shall use commercially and legally reasonable efforts to limit the nature and scope of the required disclosure to the minimum amount of Buyer Personal Information required to comply with applicable law. Unless prevented by applicable law, Seller shall provide Buyer with advance written notice of any such Data Privacy Matters sufficient to allow Buyer to contest legal, regulatory, administrative, or other governmental processes.
B. Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer as soon as possible and, in no instance in more than 48 hours of any actual or reasonably suspected incident of accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized or accidental disclosure of or access to Buyer Personal Information of which it becomes aware (a “Security Breach”); thereafter shall take all reasonable measures to contain and remedy the Security Breach, wherever possible; provide Buyer with information regarding the investigation and remediation of the Security Breach, unless restricted by law; not make any notification, announcement or publish or otherwise authorize any broadcast of any notice or information about a Security Breach (a “Security Breach Notice”) without the prior written consent of and prior written approval by Buyer of the content, media and timing of the Security Breach Notice (if any), unless required to do so by law or court order; and even where required to do so by law or court order, make all reasonable efforts to coordinate with Buyer prior to providing any Security Breach Notice. Where the Security Breach involves data elements that could lead to identity theft and is on the Seller’s networks or systems or is the fault of the Seller, Seller will, at the request of Buyer pay for the costs of remediation, notification (including, where reasonably necessary, a call center), and provide the affected individuals with credit monitoring or other commercially-reasonable identity theft mitigation service for one year or such longer period as required by law or a government regulator.
C. Seller shall obtain the prior written consent of any and all natural persons from whom Seller collects Buyer Personal Information when required to do so by applicable Data Privacy Laws or as instructed by Buyer. In the event Seller shall provide to Buyer personal information protected by Data Privacy Laws, Seller shall ensure that such personal information is provided consistent with applicable law, including, where required, obtaining consent or providing notice.
D. All Buyer Personal Information acquired by Seller shall be returned or destroyed (at the option of the applicable Buyer Affiliate), unless and to the extent that: (i) such Buyer Personal Information is required by Seller to discharge its obligations hereunder or under applicable law; or (ii) return or destruction is prohibited by applicable law. Absent contrary instructions and except as prohibited by law, Seller shall immediately destroy all Buyer Personal Information after termination or completion of the Order after waiting 30 days to allow Buyer to request return of Buyer Personal Information.

If this Purchase Agreement and/or Order involves the cross-border transfer of Buyer Personal Information from any country in the EEA/CH to outside the EEA/CH but the Seller will not act as a Controller, then the Buyer and Seller agree that the terms of the Model Contract Clauses (also called the Standard Contractual Clauses) adopted by the European Commission in Decision 2010/87/EU (hereinafter the “Processor Model Clauses” or the “Model Clauses”) are incorporated by reference as if set forth herein.
