These terms and conditions of commercial sale of Aison Technologies AG (the “Terms and Conditions”) apply to and form an integral part of all quotations and offers made by Aison Technologies AG (“Aison Technologies AG”), all acceptances, acknowledgements and confirmations by Aison Technologies AG of any orders by any of Aison Technologies AG’s buyers (a “Buyer”) and any agreements (“Agreement(s)”) regarding the sale by Aison Technologies AG and purchase by Buyer of goods and services (“Products”), unless and to the extent Aison Technologies AG explicitly agrees otherwise in writing.
Aison Technologies AG hereby rejects and shall not be bound by any additions, exceptions or changes to these Terms and Conditions, whether in any printed form of the Buyer or elsewhere, unless explicitly agreed to by Aison Technologies AG in writing.
Orders by the Buyer must be in writing (fax, email and webform included). Aison Technologies AG may, at its sole discretion, provide confirmation of acceptance of Buyer’s order (the “Purchase Order”), by providing the Buyer with Aison Technologies AG’s purchase order number. These Terms and Conditions form part of the Purchase Order. The Purchase Order constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Products and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, agreements or undertakings related to the Purchase Order, either written or oral. If the Buyer fails to acknowledge the Purchase Order, it shall be deemed to have accepted the Purchaser Order as soon as it commences to perform any of its obligations under the Purchase Order.
Prices in any offer, confirmation or Agreement are in Swiss Francs (CHF) Euros (EUR) or US Dollars (USD) as indicated and agreed in the applicable communication from Aison Technologies AG, based on delivery Ex-Works (INCOTERMS latest version) Aison Technologies AG’s manufacturing facility in Wiesenstrasse 10A CH-8952 Schlieren, or other facility designated by Aison Technologies AG, unless agreed otherwise in writing between Buyer and Aison Technologies AG and do not include any transfer costs, costs of insurance of transport, clearance costs, taxes, duties or similar levies, now or hereafter enacted, applicable to the Products or any other expenses. Aison Technologies AG will add taxes (e.g. value added tax), duties and similar levies to the sales price where Aison Technologies AG is required or enabled by law to pay or collect them and these will be paid by Buyer together with the price.
(a) Unless agreed otherwise between Aison Technologies AG and Buyer in writing, Aison Technologies AG may invoice Buyer for the price of the Products upon sending the Purchase Order. Net payment is due within fifteen (15) days of date of invoice unless agreed otherwise between Aison Technologies AG and Buyer in writing. All payments shall be made to the designated Aison Technologies AG account. If deliveries are made in installments, each installment may be separately invoiced and shall be paid for when due. No discount is allowed for early payment unless agreed to in writing by Aison Technologies AG.
(b) Aison Technologies AG may require full or partial payment in advance or other payment terms as a condition to delivery, and Aison Technologies AG may suspend, set-off, delay or cancel any credit, delivery or any other performance by Aison Technologies AG.
(c) In the event of any default by Buyer in the payment of any fees or charges due, or any other default by Buyer, Aison Technologies AG shall have the right to refuse performance and/or delivery of any Products until payments are brought current and Aison Technologies AG may suspend, set-off delay or cancel any credit, delivery or any other performance by Aison Technologies AG without any liability towards the Buyer. Such right shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available under the Agreement or at law.
(a) Products shall be delivered Ex-Works (INCOTERMS latest version) as designated by Aison Technologies AG, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Should parties agree on delivery by Aison Technologies AG by any means, such transport and delivery shall be done at the risk and account of Buyer. Delivery dates communicated or acknowledged by Aison Technologies AG are approximate only, and Aison Technologies AG shall not be liable for, nor shall Aison Technologies AG be in breach of its obligations to Buyer, for any delivery made within a reasonable time before or after the communicated delivery date.

If Aison Technologies AG does not deliver within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer may cancel the affected and undelivered portions of the Agreement, provided that Aison Technologies AG is responsible for the delay. Aison Technologies AG shall have no liability for any damages due to failure to deliver, any delay, or any claims for damages in lieu of performance.
(c) Risk of loss in or damage to the Products shall pass to Buyer as of the moment the Products have been put on transport in accordance with Ex-Works (INCOTERMS latest version) as designated by Aison Technologies AG.
Aison Technologies AG shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance if:
(i) such failure or delay results from interruptions in the Product manufacturing process, except in cases of gross negligence or intent; or
(ii) such failure or delay is caused by Force Majeure as defined below and/or by (case) law.
In case of such a failure as set forth above, the performance of the relevant part(s) of the Agreement will be suspended for the period such failure continues, without Aison Technologies AG being responsible or liable to Buyer for any damage resulting therefrom.
The expression “Force Majeure” shall mean and include any circumstances or occurrences beyond Aison Technologies AG’s reasonable control, whether or not foreseeable at the time of the Agreement, as a result of which Aison Technologies AG cannot reasonably be required to execute its obligations including force majeure and/or default by one of Aison Technologies AG’s suppliers, regardless whether such circumstances or occurrences are or may be covered by insurances. Such circumstances or occurrences include but are not limited to: acts of god (including but not limited to fire, flood, earthquake, storm, hurricane or other natural disaster); ionizing radiations or contamination (by radio-activity) from any (nuclear) fuel or from any (nuclear) waste from the combustion of (nuclear) fuel or (radio-active) toxic, explosive or other hazardous properties of any explosive (nuclear) assembly or (nuclear) component thereof; pressure waves caused by aircraft or other aerial devices travelling at sonic or supersonic speeds; war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (regardless of whether war is declared), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power or confiscation; pandemic outbreak; terrorist activities; nationalization; government sanction; government restrictions on production, logistics or employment; regulatory limitations; blockage; embargo; labor dispute, strike, lockout or lockdown; or interruption or failure of electricity, data, telephone or IT services.

(b) Until the payment of each Purchase Order has been received by Aison Technologies AG in full, the Buyer will arrange and maintain (at its own cost) a professional indemnity insurance at a level sufficient to meet any liability for any act or default for which the Buyer may become liable to indemnify Aison Technologies AG under the terms of the Purchase Order. The Buyer shall supply Aison Technologies AG with evidence of such insurance on demand.

(b) The failure on the part of either party to exercise, or any delay in exercising, any right or remedy arising from the Agreement shall not operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy arising there from preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy arising from the Agreement or from any related document or by law.
