Terms of Service

I. SCOPE OF APPLICATION:
Our terms and conditions of sale and delivery are part of the contract concluded between the client and Kalasek bottle closures.
Deviations from our general terms and conditions in whole or in part are not binding for Kalasek, even if the client refers to them and we do not expressly object to them.

Binding deviations require the express written form and the countersignature of both contractual partners.

Order acceptance: An order is considered to be legally binding if it is not rejected within 14 calendar days.

II. DELIVERY TIME, RELEASE TO PRINT, DELIVERY
The delivery time begins on the date the order is accepted by Kalasek and all documents relevant to the order are available. If one or more documents for the orderly execution of the order are missing, the delivery time begins on the day of receipt or on the day of clarification of any ambiguities.

The delivery time is interrupted from the day on which brush prints and / or color samples are sent to the client until the day on which these are confirmed by the client with his signature and released for production.

The specified delivery dates are non-binding guidelines (approximate dates). The client is not entitled to compensation, to make a covering purchase or to withdraw from the contract if a delivery date cannot be met.

Withdrawal from the contract is only possible with the written consent of both parties and with payment of any costs incurred by the client.

Unless otherwise agreed, deliveries are carriage forward ex warehouse in Vienna at the expense and risk of the customer. If free delivery has been agreed, Kalasek has the free choice of the means of transport.

If the acceptance does not take place as agreed, the resulting costs can be charged to the client. In the event of a delay in acceptance, the risk is transferred to the client from the date of delay. The quality risk passes to the client after 3 months from the agreed delivery date.

III. PRICES
All our prices are non-binding.
