ARTICLE 4: DELIVERY

4.1: Delivery time PRODUCTS are delivered at the address indicated by the CLIENT in the order form accepted by the SUPPLIER. Delivery is deemed effected upon signing of the delivery form by the CLIENT or when the goods are made available at the place of delivery agreed with the CLIENT in writing and as set forth in the Acceptance Form, as amended from time to time. The CLIENT accepts that the PRODUCT delivery dates are given for information only. The SUPPLIER undertakes to use reasonable available means to meet such delivery dates. The SUPPLIER shall not be liable for any late, delayed or suspended deliveries attributable to the CLIENT. The Incoterms that apply to the order shall determine the respective obligations of the SUPPLIER and of the CLIENT. Unless otherwise agreed with the CLIENT, the SUPPLIER may, without the prior consent of the CLIENT, proceed with global or partial deliveries.

If such terms are not complied with, the SUPPLIER shall be automatically released from any and all repayment, replacement or indemnification obligations towards the CLIENT.
