3. Business conduct

3.1. General business management

AUTEFA Solutions' business relations are based on the principles of loyalty, fairness, transparency, efficiency, and openness to the market.

Recipients acting in AUTEFA Solutions' name or on AUTEFA Solutions' behalf are required, in AUTEFA Solutions' business dealings and in relations with the public administration, to behave ethically, in compliance with the law and with the utmost transparency, clarity, fairness and efficiency.

Corrupt practices, illegitimate favors, collusive behavior, and the solicitation, directly and/or through third parties of personal and career advantages for oneself or others are prohibited.

In commercial or promotional relations and relationships, the recipients are also required to behave in line with AUTEFA Solutions' corporate policies, which, even if aimed at pursuing the corporate purpose, may never result in acts contrary to the law, the regulations in force or the corporate procedures adopted with reference to individual functions.

3.2. Conflict of interest

The recipients must avoid situations and/or activities that could lead to conflicts of interest with those of AUTEFA Solutions or that could interfere with their ability to make impartial decisions, in the safeguarding of AUTEFA Solutions’ best interests.

By way of mere simplification, this applies in relations with Suppliers, Customers and other third parties, as well as in the conduct of one's personal affairs, including transactions in financial instruments issued by the company.

It shall also be considered a conflict of interest to make available to third parties confidential information obtained in the performance of one's duties or to use it for one's own personal benefit.

Should a recipient be in a situation of conflict with AUTEFA Solutions’ interests, he or she must immediately inform his or her superior or one of the reference authorities and refrain from any activity connected with the situation giving rise to the conflict.

The recipient is required to promptly report to his or her superior and/or one of the reference authorities any information that may suggest or presage a situation of potential conflict at AUTEFA Solutions.

This is without prejudice to the rules governing conflicts of interest of members of company board pursuant to the law.

In this regard, each director is obliged to disclose to the other directors, as well as to the board of statutory auditors if appointed, any interest he or she may have on his or her own behalf or on behalf of third parties, in a certain transaction of the company on which he or she is called to decide.

Such disclosure shall be precise and punctual, i.e., it shall specify the nature, terms, origin and extent of the interest itself: it shall then be for the board of directors, after hearing the opinion of the board of statutory auditors if appointed, to assess its conflict with the interests of the company.

3.3. Gift, presents or other benefits

In relations with customers, suppliers and third parties in general, offers of money, gifts or benefits of any kind of a personal nature aimed at obtaining undue real or apparent advantages of any nature whatsoever (e.g. promises of economic advantages, favors, recommendations, promises of job offers, etc.) are not permitted.

In any event, acts of commercial courtesy are permitted within the framework and according to custom, and in any case of modest value, and such as not to compromise the integrity and reputation of AUTEFA Solutions.

Any recipients who receive gifts beyond the limits of normal courteous relations and not of modest value shall immediately inform his/her superior or the supervisor of the CoC and shall donate such gifts and/or benefits to charity or social benefit.

3.4. Relations with customer

AUTEFA Solutions achieves its success in world markets by offering high quality products and services on competitive terms and in compliance with competition rules.

In their dealings with customers, and in compliance with internal procedures, all persons concerned must promote maximum customer satisfaction by providing, among other things, full and accurate information on the products and services supplied to them, so as to encourage informed choices.

3.5. Relations with suppliers and external collaborators

The selection of suppliers and the formulation of conditions for the purchase of goods and services for AUTEFA Solutions is dictated by the values and parameters of competition, objectivity, fairness, impartiality, price equity, quality of the goods and/or services, with careful evaluation of the service guarantees and the range of offers in general.

Purchasing processes must be based on the pursuit of the greatest competitive advantage for AUTEFA Solutions, and on fairness and impartiality towards any supplier meeting the necessary requirements.

Suppliers must also cooperate with AUTEFA Solutions’ customers to ensure that their needs are met in terms of quality and delivery times.

The conclusion of a contract with a supplier must always be based on a relationship of extreme clarity, avoiding, where possible, the assumption of contractual obligations that entail forms of dependence on the contracting supplier.

In order to ensure respect for the individual, when selecting suppliers AUTEFA Solutions applies criteria that guarantee workers respect for their fundamental rights, the principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination, and the protection of child labor.

3.6. Prevention of money laundering

The company and its employees must never carry out or be involved in activities that involve money laundering, i.e., the acceptance or processing of proceeds from criminal activities in any form or manner.

The company and its employees must check available information, including financial information, on business counterparties and suppliers in advance, in order to ascertain their respectability and the legitimacy of their activities before establishing business with these relationships.

The company is committed to complying at all times with the application of anti-money laundering laws in any competent jurisdiction.

4.1. Accounting records

Accounting transparency is based on the truthfulness, accuracy, and completeness of the basic information for the relevant accounting records.

Each employee is required to cooperate in order to ensure that management events are correctly and promptly represented in the accounts.

It is forbidden to behave in such a way as to jeopardize the transparency and traceability of financial statement information.

Adequate supporting documentation of the activity carried out shall be kept on file for each operation, so as to allow easy recording in the accounts, the identification of the different levels of responsibility, as well as the accurate reconstruction of the operation.

Each record must reflect exactly what is shown in the supporting documentation.

Recipients who become aware of omissions, falsifications, alterations, or deficiencies in the information and supporting documentation shall report the facts to their superior or to one of the reference organisms.

4.2. Internal controls

It is AUTEFA Solutions’ policy to spread a culture of awareness of the importance of an adequate internal control system throughout the organization.

The attitude towards controls must be positive because of the contribution they make to improving the efficiency of production and management processes.

By internal controls we mean all the tools necessary or useful to direct, manage and verify the company's activities with the aim of ensuring compliance with laws and company procedures, protecting company assets, efficiently managing activities, and providing accurate and complete accounting and financial data.

All addressees, within the scope of their functions, are responsible for the proper functioning of the control system.

Within the scope of their responsibilities, Managers are required to be involved in the company's control system and to involve their employees in it.

Human resources are an essential element for the life of the company.

The dedication and professionalism of our employees are both values and conditions for the achievement of the company's objectives.

AUTEFA Solutions is committed to developing each employee's skills and expertise so that the energy and creativity of each individual can be fully expressed, and their potential realized.

AUTEFA Solutions offers all employees the same employment opportunities, ensuring that everyone is treated fairly on the basis of merit, without discrimination.

Personnel to be recruited are assessed on the basis of whether the candidates' profiles match the company's expectations and needs, while respecting equal opportunities for all concerned.

The information requested is strictly related to the verification of the aspects foreseen by the professional and psycho-aptitude profile, respecting the privacy and opinions of the candidate.

Staff are hired under regular employment contracts; some forms of irregular employment are not tolerated.

As in the case of personnel management and development processes, as well as in the selection phase, the decisions taken are based on the correspondence between the expected profiles and the profiles possessed by the employees and/or on considerations of merit.

Access to roles and positions is also determined in consideration of skills and abilities.

AUTEFA Solutions expects its employees, at all levels, to cooperate in maintaining a climate of mutual respect for the dignity, honor, and reputation of everyone, taking action to prevent insulting or defamatory interpersonal attitudes.

AUTEFA Solutions does not accept sexual harassment, as such:

  1. the subordination of decisions of relevance to the working life of the addressee to the acceptance of sexual favors
  2. proposals of private interpersonal relations, conducted despite an expressed or reasonable disagreement, which have the capacity in relation to the specificity of the situation, to disturb the serenity of the recipient with objective implications on his or her work expression

AUTEFA Solutions also regards as totally unacceptable any harassment or undesirable behavior such as that related to race or other personal characteristics, which has the purpose and effect of violating the dignity of the person to whom the harassment or behavior is directed both inside and outside the workplace.

Disciplinary action will therefore be taken in accordance with the scope of contractual law.:

5.5. Cigarette smoking

Smoking is forbidden in all workplaces in order to avoid dangers to persons, plants, and materials, except in rooms and/or environments specifically designated for this purpose by the employer.

6.2 Unless agreed otherwise, the prices are fixed prices DDP Buyer’s registered office (Incoterms 2010), inclusive of shipping and packaging. Where DDP Buyer’s registered office has not been agreed and Supplier is obliged to dispatch the goods, Supplier shall choose the most economic shipping method. Where, notwithstanding the 1st sentence of this clause, the agreed price is not inclusive of packaging the packaging shall be billed at cost.

7. Payment terms, no assignment, passage of title, processing of goods in Buyer’s business

7.1 Payment shall be made within ten days after the delivery or service and receipt of a due and proper, verifiable invoice (see section 6.1) with a 2% discount, and within thirty days net, however, not before the acceptance under section 8.3 2nd sentence of any work results and other services for which acceptance has been agreed. Any invoice failing to meet the criteria of section 6.1 above may be rejected by Buyer, in which case the beginning of the period for payment shall be the date of receipt of the new, duly prepared invoice. In the event of early delivery or services the agreed date of delivery or service shall take the place of delivery or service for the calculation.

7.2 Supplier shall have no right to assign its claims against Buyer or have them collected by a third party without Buyer’s written consent, unless Supplier has granted its supplier an extended reservation of title in the ordinary course of business. Nothing in this shall prejudice Sec. 354a HGB (German Commercial Code).

7.3 Where a reservation of title has been agreed the title to delivered goods shall pass to Buyer upon payment. Buyer accepts no increased or extended reservation of title.

7.4 Buyer has the right to process, sell or otherwise dispose of delivered goods in the ordinary course of business, including before the passing of the title.

8. Supplier responsibility for deliverables/work results, defects, acceptance, warranty, statute of limitation for warranty claims

8.1 Buyer’s warranty rights are governed by the applicable laws, as amended by the terms of section 8 and 9 below.

8.2 Supplier has sole responsibility for the deliverables and work results, whether or not Buyer has approved any drawings, calculations and other documents or attended technical or official inspections, tests and acceptance tests. This also includes proposals, recommendations and other contributions by Buyer.

8.3 For deliveries of goods (including manufacture, if applicable) Buyer must report any obvious defects to Supplier within fourteen days after delivery and any hidden defects within seven days after their discovery. For work results and other services for which acceptance has been agreed, Buyer must accept any results that are ready for acceptance within fifteen days after completion and notification that the results are ready for acceptance. Where Buyer inspects the goods prior to delivery at Supplier’s premises in agreement with Supplier or where the parties have agreed acceptance for services that are not work results, the inspection at Supplier’s premises or the acceptance shall take the place of any inspection on delivery according to Sec. 377(1) HGB; Buyer is obliged to further inspect such goods only for obvious defects that were not yet in evidence at the inspection at Supplier’s premises or the acceptance (for example, obvious damage in transit).

8.4 Supplier will bear all expenditures incurred in connection with determining and removing defects, including disassembly and assembly costs, and including expenditures incurred by Buyer.

8.5 Any payments towards the purchase price prior to the determination of a defect or acceptance of the goods by an agent of Buyer from Supplier shall not constitute an acknowledgment that the goods are free of defects or release Supplier of its liability for defects.

8.6 Buyer may in its discretion choose between the removal of a defect or delivery of a replacement or, where work results are concerned, the completion of a new work result.

8.7 Where, due to particular urgency of the matter, it is not appropriate to set a deadline for Supplier to take remedial action Buyer, without prejudice to its legal remedies, has the right to undertake or arrange for substitute performance at Supplier’s expense. Buyer will give Supplier advance notice of any such substitute performance, where possible.

8.8 Buyer’s warranty claims for deliveries and services rendered by Supplier shall become time-barred 36 months after the beginning of the statutory limitation. Warranty claims for structures, for goods that were used for a structure in accordance with their ordinary usage and caused the structure to become defective, and for the event that Supplier fraudulently concealed the defect shall become time-barred within the statutory limitation periods. Without prejudice to any other or further reasons for suspension or interruption of the limitation period, the limitation period will be suspended for deliveries and services that cannot be used as agreed by contract for reason of remedial action, for the duration of such remedial work.

9. IP rights, Supplier deliveries to third parties

9.1 Supplier shall indemnify Buyer against any and all claims of third parties resulting from any infringement of patents, copyrights, design rights, trademark rights, name rights and other intellectual property rights and applications for intellectual property rights (“IP Rights”) through the contractually agreed use of the deliverables, unless Supplier is not responsible for the infringement of rights. This applies equally to all necessary expenditures incurred by Buyer in connection with any such third party claims, in particular the costs of legal defence. Supplier further is liable for all consequential losses incurred by Buyer, particularly as a result of shortage of supplies and disruptions of production.

9.2 IP Rights that arise from developments based on special orders by Buyer or joint developments with Supplier are vested solely in Buyer if they are based exclusively on proprietary Buyer knowhow and/or if Buyer bears the development costs. For this purpose, Supplier herewith assigns to Buyer any and all IP Rights in such developments at the latest at the moment of their creation. If it is impossible to assign the resultant IP Rights to Buyer, Supplier will grant Buyer at the latest at the moment of their creation exclusive rights of use at no charge, for full exploitation, in particular with no limit as to time, territory and subject matter.

9.3 Supplier may use any goods made with designs, drawings and specifications of Buyer, which include IP Rights or secret knowhow of Buyer, only to fulfil the contract with Buyer. This includes goods including no IP Rights or secret knowhow of Buyer but for the manufacture of which Supplier requires drafts, plans or other documents prepared by Buyer or for Buyer’s account, or stencils, moulds, tools or related accessories owned by Buyer, if the goods manufactured by Supplier differ significantly in form, function or composition from other products made by Supplier or available in the market.

10. Liability, limitation of claims

Unless set forth otherwise in these General Purchase Terms the liability and the limitation of claims shall be governed by the applicable laws. Any limitations and exclusions of liability of Supplier will not be accepted.

11. Tools, drawings, provision of materials, manufacturing means, insurance, sub-suppliers

11.1 If, at Buyer’s expense, Supplier makes any tools for purposes of fulfilling the contract (whether such tools are indicated separately or included in the total price), the parties agree that such tools shall be Buyer’s property. In lieu of their actual handover, Supplier has the right to keep the tools on loan until the contract has been completed. Supplier may not use the tools for fulfilling other orders from third party buyers. Upon fulfilment of the contract and on Buyer’s request Supplier must release the tools to Buyer.

11.2 All items, models, documents, drawings, samples and tools made available to Supplier by Buyer are the property of Buyer. This includes items acquired by Supplier at Buyer’s expense for fulfilling the contract, and material provided by Buyer. The items and documents made available to Supplier may only be used and – as permitted by copyright legislation and only as strictly necessary to fulfil the contract – copied for fulfilling the contract with Buyer. After fulfilment of the contract and at Buyer’s request, they must be returned to Buyer without delay, including all duplicates made thereof.

11.3 Supplier bears the risk of loss of and damage to Buyer property, however, not for normal wear and tear. Supplier will store Buyer’s property separate from other property of Supplier, with the diligence of a prudent businessman, handle it with care, maintain it in good condition and, as reasonably feasible, mark it as Buyer property. Buyer’s property may not be removed from Supplier's business premises and/or the agreed location, sold, used as collateral, pledged, etc. without Buyer’s prior written approval.

11.4 Buyer’s property may not be joined, mixed or processed with Supplier's or a third party's property unless this is necessary for fulfilling the contract with Buyer. In the event of processing or transformation, Buyer shall be considered the producer. If Buyer’s property is joined or inseparably mixed with other items, Buyer shall be considered co-owner at the proportion of the value (purchase value plus value-added tax) that the items had at the time of joining or mixing. If such joining or mixing is such that Supplier's property may be considered the main component, it shall be agreed that Supplier transfers proportionate co-ownership to Buyer. Supplier shall store the sole or joint property for Buyer.

11.5 Supplier shall insure Buyer’s property at Supplier’s expense. Supplier hereby assigns to Buyer, who accepts the assignment of, any payment claims against Supplier’s insurance.

11.6 Any sub-suppliers must be subjected to obligations equivalent to those laid down in this section.

12. Spare parts

Supplier shall supply spare parts at reasonable conditions for the duration of the ordinary technical service life of the deliverables but at least for twelve years after the last delivery. If Supplier discontinues the delivery of spare parts upon expiration of the term set out in the 1st sentence of this clause or discontinues delivery of the deliverables prior to the expiration of such term, Supplier must allow Buyer the opportunity of placing a final order.

13. Change of production, Buyer inspections, compliance

13.1 In an ongoing business relationship, Supplier shall advise Buyer without delay in writing of any intended change of materials or bought-in parts as well as any intended product modification, conversion or relocation of production, change of analysis methods and other alterations that may impact the quality and safety of the products purchased by Buyer. Any changes to the agreed specifications will not be permitted, except with Buyer’s prior written consent.

13.2 Buyer has the right to demand access to the manufacturing sites of Supplier and/or of Supplier’s sub-suppliers during normal operating hours in order to inspect the status of production, the use of suitable materials, the deployment of the required skilled personnel and professional workmanship as well as Buyer’s property (see section 11). Where required, and requested by Supplier, to protect any trade or business secrets of Supplier these inspections shall be carried out by a third party sworn to secrecy, who must not forward any information about trade and business secrets to Buyer. Any such inspections will remain without legal effect on the formal acceptance of the deliveries and services.

13.3 Supplier shall comply with all laws applicable to the deliveries and services, in particular but not limited to environmental protection, health and occupational safety, including any minimum wage, product safety, anticorruption, and data protection legislation.

14. Confidentiality, advertising

14.1 The contracting parties shall treat as a business secret and keep confidential any and all commercial and technical information that is not publicly known and which is disclosed to them in connection with the business relationship. This confidentiality undertaking shall survive and remain in effect after the termination of the contract. The confidentiality undertaking does not extend to information which (i) is or becomes publicly known other than by a breach of rights, (ii) is known to the other party at conclusion of the contract, or (iii) is disclosed to the other party by a third party without breaching any nondisclosure obligation.

14.2 The contracting parties may not advertise their business relationship or use it for reference purposes, except with prior written consent.

15. Place of fulfilment, governing law, forum

15.1 The place of fulfilment shall be at Buyer’s registered office, unless stated or agreed otherwise.

15.2 The legal relations between the parties shall be governed exclusively by the substantive laws of Germany to the exclusion of the UN Sales Convention (CISG).

15.3 The exclusive place of jurisdiction shall be the courts having jurisdiction at the registered office of Buyer, if Supplier is a trader or if Supplier has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany at the time the lawsuit is filed. Buyer has the right, however, to appeal to any court having legal jurisdiction.

AUTEFA Solutions  Austria GmbH – Download as PDF (edition 07/2018)

The following terms and conditions of purchase shall apply to all business relations unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms and conditions shall not apply, even if AUTEFA is aware of them, unless AUTEFA has explicitly agreed to their application. Contractual performance acts by AUTEFA shall not be deemed as consent to deviating contractual terms and conditions. These terms and conditions shall also apply as a framework agreement for all further legal transactions between AUTEFA and the contractor (CO).

1. general terms and conditions for orders

Orders, modifications, and additions are only legally binding if they have been issued in writing by the purchasing department authorized to do so. The Contractor (CO) may only refer to agreements with other persons if he immediately informs the responsible purchasing department and the latter's written confirmation is available. These Terms and Conditions of Purchase shall be deemed accepted at the latest when the Contractor begins to execute the order. Verbal agreements require written confirmation by the responsible purchasing department to be legally effective. The order date shall be the date on which the order is sent. The order shall be confirmed or rejected in writing immediately. If the Contractor does not reject the order within three days (received by AUTEFA) from the order date, the contract shall be concluded with the contents of the order. As long as the order is not accepted by order confirmation, with which the order is accepted in full, AUTEFA shall be entitled to withdraw from the order without giving reasons and free of charge. The withdrawal shall be deemed to have been made in due time if it has been sent before receipt of the declaration of acceptance. Deviations from orders shall be clearly indicated and require the explicit written consent of AUTEFA in order to be effective. The unconditional acceptance of order confirmations or deliveries does not imply any acknowledgement of the CO's GTC. Terms and conditions of the CO and its GTC are hereby explicitly rejected. AUTEFA may at any time request changes in the design and execution of the order or the delivery item. If, as a result of such changes, the agreed delivery times can no longer be met, or if an increase in the agreed prices is necessary, the CO shall immediately notify AUTEFA thereof and submit a reasonable proposal in writing with respect to the delivery time and/or price increase. Otherwise, the originally agreed delivery periods and prices shall also apply to the modified order.

2. prices

The agreed prices are fixed prices including all taxes (except VAT) and duties. If the order does not contain any other provisions, the pricing shall be "DDP" in accordance with INCOTERMS 2020. The price includes the costs of documentation, technical inspection, packaging, marking, labelling, etc. The price shall also include the costs of the delivery of the goods. In the case of deliveries abroad, the Contractor's services shall include export customs clearance, including the assumption of all associated costs.

3. payment and invoice

Unless otherwise agreed, AUTEFA shall make payment within 30 days after invoicing and after fulfilment of all conditions specified for this purpose in the order, in particular also the proper delivery of documentation, with 3% discount or 60 days net. Complaints about the delivery/service entitle AUTEFA to withhold payments due. Payment does not imply any acknowledgement of the correctness of the delivery and services and thus no waiver by AUTEFA of performance, warranty, guarantee, damages, contractual penalties, etc. In the case of a notice of defect or complaint, the purchase price may be retained in full. Invoices shall include the order and delivery note number as well as AUTEFA's UID. The sales tax must be shown separately. Invoices may not be enclosed with the shipments.

4. packaging and shipment

The shipping conditions and packaging guidelines of AUTEFA shall apply. If these are not available to the Contractor, they must be requested from AUTEFA. The Contractor shall provide a valid proof of preference (such as movement certificate, certificate of origin, etc.). Separate instructions from AUTEFA shall be observed. Unless otherwise stated in AUTEFA's shipping terms, the shipping documents accompanying the goods shall not contain any indication of value. AUTEFA shall only bear the costs of transport insurance if this has been agreed in writing. In case of non-compliance with AUTEFA's shipping, packaging, customs clearance or documentation requirements, all resulting risks, damages and costs shall be borne by the Contractor.

5. appointments

The delivery dates specified in the order shall be binding and shall be understood as arriving at the place of performance. If the CO realizes that the agreed dates cannot be met, he shall immediately notify AUTEFA in writing, stating the reasons and the expected duration of the delay. If the CO fails to meet the dates agreed in the purchase order, the CO shall pay the following contractual penalties, each calculated from the total order value, until the actual delivery date. The contractual penalties shall be deducted from the Contractor's current invoices.

  • delivery and performance
    1% per week of delay or part thereof, up to a maximum of 10% of the total value;
  • documentation
    1% per week of delay or part thereof, up to a maximum of 10% of the total value;

The obligation to pay a contractual penalty shall arise for the Contractor upon the occurrence of the default. The payment of contractual penalties shall not release the Contractor from its fulfillment obligations and resulting liability.

6. warranty, exclusion of the notice of defects

The Contractor warrants and represents that all specific deliveries and services also meet the latest state of the art and the legal provisions and regulations of the authorities. The Contractor warrants that its supplies and services are free from defects for a period of 36 months from acceptance of the entire plant by the end user (AUTEFA's customer) and shall indemnify and hold AUTEFA harmless for any resulting disadvantages. An obligation to inspect as well as the obligation to notify defects according to § 377 f UGB (Austrian Commercial Code) by AUTEFA with regard to the deliveries is expressly excluded without AUTEFA losing any legal claims (in particular claims under warranty and claims for damages and avoidance of mistake). In case of replacement delivery and repair, the warranty shall start anew.

7. warranty, compensation and product liability

In the event of defects in the goods delivered or services rendered, the Contractor shall be obliged. AUTEFA may choose to remedy the defect either by improvement, replacement or price reduction. If the defect is not minor, AUTEFA shall also be entitled to demand rescission of the contract instead of the aforementioned warranty remedies. AUTEFA is entitled at any time to remedy the defect itself or to have it remedied by a third party. Any costs incurred thereby shall be borne by the Contractor. Until the Contractor proves otherwise, it shall be presumed that the defect was already present at the time of handover; this shall also apply if the defect only becomes apparent after the expiry of 6 months after handover. The Contractor shall fully indemnify and hold AUTEFA harmless for any and all disadvantages whatsoever incurred by AUTEFA directly or indirectly as a result of a defective delivery or service, violation of official safety regulations, violation of the agreed delivery times, dates and deadlines, under-delivery or for any other legal reasons attributable to the Contractor. The Contractor shall be obligated to fully compensate for all damages that occur in this context. This shall apply in particular to any own or third-party expenses (including material and personnel expenses) in connection with the determination or rectification of defects, as well as to any frustrated material and personnel expenses and other costs caused by defects. Subcontractors and suppliers of the Contractor shall in any case be deemed to be its vicarious agents, so that the Contractor shall be liable for their fault as for its own. In the event that AUTEFA is held liable on the basis of product liability, the Contractor shall be obliged to indemnify us against such claims if the damage was caused by a defect in the subject matter of the contract delivered by the Contractor. In such cases, the CO shall bear all costs and expenses, including the costs of any legal action and recall action.

8. export licenses

The Contractor is obliged to obtain at its own expense any export licenses required in connection with its deliveries and services, in particular for export to the country of the end customer (AUTEFA's customer). The CO assures that at the time of the order the complete delivery of the ordered item is secured and that no official or other restrictions prevent the complete delivery and performance, otherwise the CO shall be liable for any damage incurred by AUTEFA.

9. property rights of third parties

The Contractor assures that the rights of third parties do not conflict with the intended use of the purchased goods, in particular that no patents or other industrial property rights of third parties are infringed. Should such impairments or infringements of rights be alleged, the CO undertakes to fully indemnify and hold AUTEFA and/or the end user harmless without limitation against any claims of third parties.

10. secrecy

All drawings, documents, information, etc., which are made available to the Contractor for the purpose of fulfilling an order, as well as all empirical values and the entire know-how, which are developed in the course of the execution of the order ("Confidential Information"), shall remain or become the exclusive property of AUTEFA. Such Confidential Information shall be treated as confidential and shall not be exploited, reproduced, analyzed or used in any way, nor disclosed or made available to any third party without the written consent of AUTEFA. After performance of the contract, the confidential information which AUTEFA has handed over shall be returned to AUTEFA. Any disclosure of confidential information to third parties, in particular to builders and operators of the same or similar plants, is expressly prohibited. A breach of the confidentiality obligation entitles AUTEFA to reclaim the payments due for the order concerned and to assert claims for damages. The obligation to maintain secrecy shall continue to exist even after completion of the order in question and shall apply to all employees, subcontractors, and vicarious agents of the Contractor.

11. drawings, execution documents and provided materials

The ownership and exclusive rights of use of the drawings, information and know-how provided by AUTEFA to the CO shall remain with AUTEFA. The CO acknowledges that these are copyrighted exclusively for AUTEFA. Any material provided shall remain our property and shall be marked as such and stored separately. In case of loss and/or damage, the Contractor shall be liable even if not at fault. After completion of the order, provided material shall be returned to AUTEFA without delay.

12. postponement and withdrawal

(1) AUTEFA shall have the right to postpone the project realization schedule (delivery time, etc.) and all related deadlines, in particular performance, acceptance and payment deadlines, in whole or in part, at any time without giving reasons. AUTEFA shall notify the CO thereof in writing. AUTEFA shall be free to indicate the expected duration of the postponement without obligation, but shall not be obliged to do so. Upon receipt of the written notice from AUTEFA, the Contractor shall immediately take all measures at its own expense to minimize the costs of such postponement. If the postponement does not exceed 6 months, the Contractor shall bear all costs associated with the postponement. If the postponement lasts longer than 6 months, the Contractor shall have the right to charge AUTEFA for any costs charged by third parties directly caused by the postponement lasting longer than 6 months (e.g. third party storage fees), if and to the extent that such costs are reasonable and unavoidable and can be proven to have been incurred after the expiry of the first 6 months. However, all other costs caused by the postponement (such as the Contractor's own personnel costs, any price increases of suppliers or subcontractors, interest, other additional costs of subsequent performance) shall be borne by the Contractor. The sales price or the order amount shall remain unchanged in any case. All postponed deadlines, in particular the performance, acceptance and payment deadlines, shall be extended by the extent of their respective postponement. The postponement shall in any case, i.e. even if the expected duration of the postponement has been announced, be for an indefinite period, but shall end at the latest after 24 months; during this period AUTEFA shall be entitled to terminate the postponement at any time by written notice. In such case, the suspended periods shall recommence after the expiry of a further 14 days after receipt of the notice by the Contractor. If AUTEFA does not make such a declaration, the postponement shall automatically end after the expiry of 24 months; in this case, the period shall resume immediately thereafter. (2) AUTEFA shall have the right to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part at any time and without giving reasons. AUTEFA shall notify the Contractor thereof in writing. Upon receipt of the written notice from AUTEFA, the Contractor shall immediately cease all work relating to the withdrawal at its own expense. AUTEFA undertakes to pay the manufacturing costs for those parts which are affected by the withdrawal and which have demonstrably been produced or manufactured by the Contractor by the time AUTEFA receives the written notification, whereby the ownership thereof and all other rights associated therewith shall pass to AUTEFA. Excluded from this are those parts which the Contractor can utilize otherwise, in particular for or in connection with other orders or works. All further costs of a rescission shall be borne by the Contractor. Other contractually agreed or statutory rights to withdraw from the contract, in particular the immediate termination of the contract for important reasons, shall remain unaffected. (3) The CO is obliged to agree on the rights of AUTEFA to postponement according to paragraph (1) or to rescission according to paragraph (2) on his part with any of his own subcontractors and suppliers in the same sense and content. (4) Furthermore, AUTEFA may withdraw from the contract in whole or in part in the event of a breach of duty on the part of the Contractor and after unsuccessfully setting a reasonable grace period (usually 14 days). The setting of a reasonable period of grace shall also be deemed to be a reminder to comply with the contract. In particular, but not exclusively, delays of intermediate and final deadlines, unauthorized subcontracting or defects that jeopardize AUTEFA's performance of the contract vis-à-vis its contractual partners shall be considered as a breach of duty. In such cases AUTEFA shall be entitled to carry out the omitted or insufficiently performed deliveries and services itself (self-performance) or by third parties (substitute performance) at the expense of the Contractor. The costs incurred thereby may either be invoiced directly by AUTEFA or deducted from the next payment due from AUTEFA to the CO. Further claims for damages on the part of AUTEFA shall remain unaffected by this provision.

13. force majeure

The contracting parties shall be released from responsibility for the partial or total omission of obligations under this contract to the extent that such omission was caused by force majeure. The following shall be referred to as force majeure: Fire, war, general mobilization, riots, natural disasters, embargoes, and restrictions imposed by a governmental authority. Expressly excluded from force majeure are strikes or lockouts at the Seller's plant or its subcontracting plants and general shortages of materials or raw materials. The party that has been prevented from fulfilling its contractual obligations or from fulfilling them in a timely manner due to force majeure shall inform the other party of the circumstances of the force majeure within 5 working days from the occurrence of the event of force majeure by means of reasonable evidence. Both parties shall be released from their contractual obligations for the period of time from the occurrence of a force majeure event. If the period of force majeure exceeds 3 months, AUTEFA reserves the right to agree on a new delivery period with the Contractor or to withdraw from the Contract. A case of force majeure in the country of AUTEFA's end customer shall also apply to the relationship between the Contractor and AUTEFA.

14. others

The Contractor's right of retention, if any, is expressly excluded. Any interest on arrears for grants of the CO shall amount to 5 % p.a.. AUTEFA and other inspection bodies reserve the right to carry out schedule inspections as well as technical intermediate and final inspections (including packaging inspections) in the offices, production facilities and storage rooms of the CO and his subcontractors at any time during design, planning, production, and delivery preparation and to reject faulty documentation as well as defective material. These checks and inspections shall not relieve the Contractor of its responsibility. Any sub-suppliers, except for standard parts, shall be notified to AUTEFA in due time and approved by AUTEFA in writing. The transfer of ownership to AUTEFA shall take place simultaneously with the transfer of risk. Persons who make declarations to AUTEFA on behalf of the CO shall be deemed to be fully authorized to do so. Any ancillary costs associated with the execution of the order which are not covered by agreements or INCOTERMS 2020 shall be borne by the CO. Should the delivery dates agreed in the order change for reasons not attributable to the CO, the CO agrees to provide proper storage for up to 6 months at the CO's expense and risk for AUTEFA. All deliveries to AUTEFA shall be made free from reservations of title and third-party rights. Such reservations shall be ineffective even without express objection by AUTEFA. The Contractor shall also be liable for compliance with these Terms and Conditions of Purchase by its sub-suppliers. Notwithstanding the provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Purchase, any further legal claims of AUTEFA shall remain unaffected. The Contractor shall maintain product and public liability insurance with a sum insured appropriate to the order and shall provide AUTEFA with a corresponding confirmation of coverage upon request.

15. place of fulfilment, place of jurisdiction, applicable law

The place of fulfilment is the delivery address specified in our order. In the event that individual provisions of the contract are invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain binding (severability clause). The contract is subject to Austrian law to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The country of jurisdiction is the place of the buyer (Linz).

Any different condition of sale of the Seller shall be valid only if specifically approved in writing.

2. Orders

every order and contract as well as any amendments or additions thereto shall only be binding if approved in writing by the Buyer. Quotations are binding for the Seller only and shall not give rise to any right to compensation in his favor, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing between the parties.

4. Invoicing, conditions and terms of payment

Invoices must be provided in a verifiable form and must contain the Buyer's order number, complete order code and date of order.  Invoices must conform to the order and refer to the Buyer's item numbers and order lines.
