Contracts for the supply of goods and services concluded with entrepreneurs

 

This part of the General Terms and Conditions shall apply to contracts relating to the supply of goods and services, concluded in any way and in any form between Happy tails mermaids s.r.o. (hereinafter HTM) and the client, who is an entrepreneur, and to any obligations arising from these contracts.

 

PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS

1.1. HTM supplies comply with the Incoterms 2010 delivery terms. The price means a price not including transport from manufacturer’s factory and not including packing costs (EXW clause according to Incoterms 2010). EXW clause of Incoterms 2010 will be applied both in international contractual relationship and for supply of goods in the territory of the Czech Republic, so even in case that the Contract is concluded only between subjects with residence or domicile in the Czech Republic.

 

1.2. Price is based on recommended prices of the manufacturer converted by the exchange rate, the amount of which is determined by the specific contract, to Czech crowns (CZK). Purchase price can be also agreed in other currency than in the Czech crowns. It is necessary to add VAT and eventually customs duty to the price, both in the amount according to the applicable tax and customs legislation.

 

1.3. Unless otherwise agreed in the contract, price is payable before the goods are delivered to the HTM account within 3 days from conclusion of the contract between the HTM and the client. In case of client’s delay with reimbursement of the price for performance according to the Contract, the client is obliged to reimburse HTM contractual fine amounting to 0,05 % of the amount due for each and started day of delay. Thus established contractual fine for breach of clients’ duties does not relate to eventual claim of HTM for damages or interests on late payments.

 

1.4. Payments are reimbursed in a way determined by HTM, preferably by transferring to a predetermined HTM account, non-cash via the GoPay payment system.

 

1.5. In case that the client arranges takeover of the goods by personal collection and does not collect them, all costs related to the reverse transport of the goods will be additionally charged to him. Storage charges in the HTM stores will be charged to the client as well, at least amounting to 0,25 % of the price of the goods for each day of storage. After being returned, the goods will be prepared for collection again and given over only after reimbursement of the full price of the goods including storage charges. Payment for the goods will be reimbursed on the basis of application for payment and a tax document as confirmation of receipt of payment will be issued only after reimbursement of the entire purchase price.

 

1.6. In case of non-compliance of application of payment within 3 days from conclusion of the contract between HTM and the client, the HTM will issue an advance invoice for the entire purchase price on the day when physical delivery of the goods is possible. The goods will be given over to the client only after reimbursement of this advance invoice, whereas performance of delivery on the part of HTM is ensured by issuing of this advance invoice for the entire purchase price. In case of non-compliance of due date of this advance payment, sanctions are the same as in point 1.3. of this part of the General Terms and Conditions and storage will be charged in addition to that, namely at least amounting to 0,25 % of the price of the goods for each day after maturity of this advance payment. In case of delay with reimbursement of the advance payment, HTM is further entitled to sell the goods to another interested party. The goods will be reordered and delivered to the original client at earliest after reimbursement of the invoice to the HTM account. In this case it is not a delay of delivery on the part of the supplier.

 

1.7. The client and HTM agreed that within their contractual relations, there are only two types of receivables creditable against HTM: either undisputable receivables or receivables that were acknowledged to the client by a cognizable and executable judicial decision. The client and HTM further agreed that within their contractual relationships, all due and undue receivables are creditable against the client, regardless of their possible limitation.

 

TERMS OF DELIVERY

2.1. Prerequisite for keeping terms of delivery are timely receipt of all necessary permits and data from the clients, compliance with the agreed payment terms and other liabilities from the part of the client.
