2 MAKING THE CONTRACT

2.1 Any written quotation, estimate and/or advertised price for the Goods shall be an offer and no binding contract shall be created by placing an order on Hilti’s website or otherwise until Hilti has sent an acceptance of the order to the Buyer or (if earlier) Hilti delivers the Goods to the Buyer, whereupon a Contract shall be formed.

Any order shall be accepted entirely at the discretion of Hilti.

2.2 Any quotation made by Hilti is given subject to these Conditions and is valid for 30 days from its date (or until any other date shown on the quotation), provided that Hilti has not previously withdrawn it.

2.3 Unless agreed otherwise in writing, these Conditions shall be incorporated in the Contract to the exclusion of all other terms, conditions or other representations (including any terms and conditions which the Buyer may purport to apply under any order, confirmation of order, specification or other document whatsoever and whenever).

3.2 All descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by Hilti and any descriptions, details or illustrations contained in Hilti’s website, catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods or Services described in them and they will not form part of the Contract unless otherwise agreed in writing.

3.3 Hilti reserves the right, without liability to the Buyer, to make any changes in the specification of the Goods and/or Services which are required to conform to any applicable national or international laws and regulations and/or safety requirements which do not materially affect the quality or performance of the Goods and/or Services.

3.4 No statement, description, information, warranty, condition or recommendation contained in any catalogue, price list, advertisement or communication or made verbally by any of the agents or employees of Hilti shall be construed to vary in any way any of these Conditions under this Contract.

4 PRICE

4.1 Subject to Condition 4.2 below, the price payable for Goods and/or Services shall, unless otherwise stated by Hilti in writing and agreed on its behalf by an authorised representative, be the price determined by Hilti current at the date of delivery or deemed delivery and in the case of an order with partial delivery, the price payable for each delivery shall be Hilti’s current price list at the date of the delivery.

Hilti accordingly reserves the right at any time, by notifying the Buyer in writing to adjust the invoice price payable by the amount of any increase or decrease in such costs after the price is quoted by Hilti or the Buyer’s order without any liability on the part of Hilti. The invoice so adjusted shall be payable as if it were the original Contract price.

4.3 All prices for the Goods and/or Services are inclusive of value-added tax unless explicitly stated otherwise, other similar taxes and all other applicable duties. The Buyer shall be liable for all and any local taxes or charges as appropriate.

4.4 Hilti shall invoice the Buyer for the price of the Goods and/or Services in the currency stated on the invoice.

4.5 Hilti has the right to invoice the Buyer for the costs of any packaging, transportation of the Goods or any additional costs resulting from any other alteration made by the Buyer on or at the time of delivery or upon notification by Hilti that the Goods are awaiting collection. Any such additional costs shall be invoiced by Hilti in the currency stated on the invoice.

5 CARRIAGE AND INSURANCE

5.1 The price of the Goods shall be exclusive of carriage and insurance which shall be in accordance with the charges laid out in Hilti’s current price list.

5.2 The charges for carriage and insurance shall be payable by the Buyer and added to the price of the Goods.

6.1 The Buyer agrees to pay for any loss or extra costs above the quoted price for the Goods which are directly or indirectly incurred by Hilti through the Buyer’s instructions or lack of instruction or through failure or delay in taking delivery or through any act or default on the part of the Buyer, its servants or agents.

6.2 Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies which Hilti may have, if the Goods are submitted to Hilti or its agent for repair, Hilti shall have a general lien on the Goods in respect of all debts owed by the Buyer to Hilti (including the costs of the repair), and if the Goods are not collected and paid for by the Buyer within the agreed payment terms of the Buyer being informed that the Goods are ready for collection, the Buyer agrees that Hilti shall be entitled to dispose of the Goods as Hilti thinks fit.

7 TERMS OF PAYMENT

7.1 Unless agreed otherwise in writing by Hilti, all payments due under any Contract shall be in the currency stipulated in the invoice and must be made by the Buyer within the agreed payment terms from the date of the invoice sent by Hilti to the address provided by the Buyer. Time for payment shall be of the essence.

7.2 The Buyer shall not be entitled to exercise any set-off, lien or any other similar right or claim unless the Buyer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by Hilti to the Buyer. Hilti may set off any claim of any kind whatsoever which the Buyer may have against Hilti under the Contract or any other contract against any sum which would otherwise be due from the Buyer to Hilti under the Contract or any other contract.

7.3 Notwithstanding any other provision all payments payable to Hilti under the Contract shall become due immediately upon termination of the Contract for whatever reason.

7.4 If the Goods are partially delivered, Hilti shall be entitled to invoice each delivery as and when delivery thereof has been made and payment shall be due in accordance with Condition 7.1 above in respect of each invoice.

7.5 Any failure by the Buyer to either pay any dues related to partial delivery in accordance with this Contract or failure to give delivery instructions in respect of any Goods shall cause the whole of the price for Goods already manufactured at the time of such a default, to become due forthwith without any notice.

8.4 If for any reason the Buyer does not accept delivery of the Goods in accordance with Condition 8.6, or Hilti is unable to deliver the Goods on time because the Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorisations, then the Goods will be deemed to have been delivered, risk passing to the Buyer (including for loss or damage caused by Hilti’s negligence) and Hilti may at its sole discretion:

8.4.1 store the Goods until actual delivery and take all reasonable steps to safeguard and insure them at the cost of the Buyer, provided that the Buyer shall be immediately informed thereof; or

8.4.2 sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deduction of all reasonable storage and selling expenses) charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the Contract price.

8.5 Hilti shall have the right to make partial deliveries of goods and at such intervals as it may decide. Any defect in any such delivery shall not be a ground for cancellation of the remainder of the deliveries and the Buyer shall be bound to accept further deliveries thereof.

8.6 Without prejudice to the warranties in Condition 13 below, the Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods as being in accordance with the Contract and no liability for non-delivery, late delivery, loss of or damage to the Goods occurring post delivery or for any claim that the Goods are not in accordance with the Contract will attach to Hilti unless:

8.6.1 Within forty-eight hours after the Buyer has taken delivery of the Goods the Buyer has notified Hilti in writing of any defect of other failure of the Goods to conform with the Contract (which would be apparent upon reasonable inspection and testing of the Goods within forty-eight hours); or

8.6.2 the Buyer notifies Hilti in writing of any defect or other failure of the Goods to conform with the Contract within a reasonable time where the effect or failure would not be so apparent within forty-eight hours of the date of delivery or collection, failing which the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods and Hilti shall have no liability and the Buyer shall be bound to pay the Contract price as if the Goods has been delivered in accordance with the Contract.

8.7 In all cases where the Buyer notifies Hilti of defects or shortages, Hilti shall be afforded an opportunity to inspect the Goods (including when relevant by the Goods being returned to Hilti at the Buyer’s cost) before any use is made thereof or any alteration is made thereto by the Buyer.
