TERMS OF PURCHASE

These terms and conditions of purchase shall be deemed accepted and bindingly agreed between the seller, supplier and service provider and Murexin GmbH. The company Murexin GmbH is bound to a variation only if expressly agreed in writing. Murexin GmbH shall only be bound by the general terms and conditions of the supplier if these are acknowledged in writing. The acceptance of deliveries or services as well as payments of the company Murexin GmbH do not imply agreement. 

Offers to conclude an order must be made exclusively in writing and are free of charge irrespective of the outlay required. After submitting  the offer, the supplier shall be bound to the exclusion of the possibility of revocation for at least 30 calendar days after receipt of the offer in the purchasing department. The supplier expressly waives the plea of ignorance of relevant circumstances. If a business relationship exists, orders placed verbally by Murexin GmbH are also subject to the terms and conditions of purchase without separate reference to them. The acceptance of an offer by Murexin GmbH takes place exclusively in writing (letter, fax, mail…) until the expiry of the offer period.

2. Order confirmation

3. Delivery period

For all orders placed by Murexin GmbH, the goods must have been received at the specified place of receipt by the agreed delivery date at the latest.

The amount shall either be taken into account directly upon invoicing on the part of the contractor, or shall be remunerated by means of a separate credit note, whereby the payment period shall only be remunerated after receipt of the credit note, whereby the payment period shall only commence after receipt of the credit note. Changes to the date agreement must be agreed in writing with the receiving office and head office at least 3 working days before the intended delivery date. Murexin GmbH reserves the right to assert additional claims for damages which may occur due to late delivery. The penalty shall not be deemed waived if the delivery has been accepted and/or paid either in whole or in part without reservation. If a delivery is not pallet-clean or if the order quantity is not complied with, a penalty as above shall also apply. A  delivery ontime of the orders from Murexin GmbH takes place, if the goods are received completely at the agreed place of receipt at the latest on the agreed delivery day at the agreed time of receipt of the warehouse.
