Each offer is subject to changed decisions concerning import and export of goods. Provided that these conditions are realized, InterSign ApS is entitled to recall the offer, without this entitling the entity receiving the offer to make any kind of demand.

11.2 Correspondingly, statements made in the offer apply to orders accepted by InterSign ApS.

12.0 DELIVERY TIME AND DELAY

12.1 Each statement of delivery time is a rough estimate and is therefore approximate.

12.2 Furthermore, InterSign ApS is entitled to postpone the approximate delivery time, provided that the postponement thereof is necessitated by conditions beyond the control of InterSign ApS, cf. section 8 concerning force majeure.

12.3 Subject to section 9.1, when the stated or specified delivery period is substantially exceeded, the Purchaser is entitled to cancel the purchase; however, delay in a delivery does not entitle the Purchaser to compensation for direct or indirect loss, regardless of the cause thereof, including negligence. This applies only to goods categorized as A & B goods.

13.0 TRANSFER OF RISK

13.1 The goods are delivered from the InterSign ApS warehouse Ex Works (Incoterm 2020).

13.2 When goods are transported via a InterSign ApS carrier, the risk responsibility for the goods is transferred on delivery to the first carrier. Thereafter, you assume the risk.

For any loss or damage, you must: Report the loss or damage in writing to InterSign ApS at once (same day), and if there is any sign of damage to the shipment, you must reject the goods from the carrier, or accept them with a note to the carrier that the goods are damaged in transport.

All Purchaser rights are suspended or removed on these occasions.

1. The Purchaser complains in good time.

2. Defective goods are returned to InterSign ApS.

3. Following an investigation, InterSign ApS establishes that the defects identified are due to faults in materials or implementation, do not result from poor treatment or storage, neglect, installation, repairs or changes undertaken by the Purchaser, and are not due to an accident.

4. InterSign ApS is not responsible for defects and flaws covered by a warranty issued by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer has established such an independent warranty, it is the situation according to this warranty that applies, regardless of the drawbacks this may involve in the eyes of the customer. InterSign ApS will help the Purchaser and provide directions concerning the warranty and arrangement of repairs for an individual manufacturer.

15.2 With the exception of situations covered by section 13.1, InterSign ApS is not responsible for flaws in the delivered goods, regardless of the cause, including negligence.

15.4 On no occasion that directly or indirectly relates to the delivered goods, their use or InterSign ApS’s output in general is InterSign ApS responsible for indirect losses and consequential damages, such as operational down time, wasted costs, property or other consequential damages, including lost or corrupted data. InterSign ApS is thus never responsible for operational down time, profit-related losses or other indirect losses.

15.5 InterSign ApS is not responsible for defects in goods delivered that are due to errors or neglect on the part of InterSign ApS suppliers or are in any other way caused by the supplier. Where InterSign ApS may be entitled to take action against a supplier, InterSign ApS hereby transfers this claim to the Purchaser, in such a way that the Purchaser is obliged to make their claim directly to the supplier.

15.6 Otherwise, for products that are sold with user instructions, see specific obligations concerning exchange/repair.

15.7 The beforementioned limitation to the compensation amount applies regardless of the motivation for or formulation of the compensation claim, and thus also covers claims that are based on negligence or oversight.

15.9 InterSign ApS does not guarantee that the products delivered will operate without faults or operational down time, or that all software errors (if any) will be corrected.

15.10 On return of DOA (dead on arrival) or defective equipment, the warranty covers repairs, or a replacement product based on an assessment carried out by InterSign ApS.

Claims must be presented in writing within seven days of the receipt of goods. In the case of concealed defects, the complaints period is extended to fourteen days.

16.3 Should the Purchaser fail to inform InterSign ApS that they wish to plead a defect within fourteen days of the transfer of the object, they may not subsequently do so, unless InterSign ApS has undertaken to be responsible for the object for a longer period of time or has acted fraudulently.

In this situation, the new category will apply when the Purchaser wishes to return a product. The price is based on the lowest price at the time of invoicing or the current price. For most Software licenses there is a “No Return Policy” which means that InterSign ApS as a rule does not accept a return of licenses as long as the partner has received what has been ordered. Regarding Microsoft licenses there is a 21-Day Return Policy on all Volume Licenses. The timeframe setting is the date on which InterSign ApS purchases the licenses from the supplier.

A similar amount of depreciation is applied for each year of the product’s lifetime and is always fixed by InterSign ApS.

24.4 InterSign ApS cannot be liable if products are designed to the Purchaser’s specifications, or if the infringement cannot be directly attributed to the supplied products, but rather to the Purchaser’s specific use thereof, including supplementation of and changes to the supplied products, or the product’s combination or use in conjunction with other products. Furthermore, InterSign ApS does not undertake responsibility for action taken after the Purchaser has become aware of the possible infringement.
