The seller has the right to adjust the prices after the formation of the contract if the exchange rates, which directly affect import prices, raw material prices, taxes, or other costs beyond the seller’s control change before the delivery date. If the exchange rate is not specifically mentioned in the offer, the price is based on the exchange rate published by the European Central Bank on the date of the offer.

The product warranty does not cover damage that occurred during transportation. The buyer must return the defective product or part to the seller without separate request. Unless otherwise stated in the manufacturer’s warranty terms, repairing the product or supplying a new product does not extend the warranty period. A warranty-based claim must be presented to the seller in writing during the warranty period and within 7 business days of detecting the warranty-covered defect. In consumer sales conducted by a reseller, a warranty-based claim must be made during the warranty period and within 2 months of the defect covered by the warranty being discovered. The manufacturer’s warranty terms also limit the seller’s and the product manufacturer’s liability for defects. Unless the manufacturer’s warranty terms provide for broader compensation liability, the seller/manufacturer only compensates for the transportation costs related to removing the defect.

However, the buyer has the right to terminate the contract with written notice if, following the aforementioned delay, the seller is still unable to deliver the agreed-upon products within a reasonable time period agreed upon in writing with the buyer. Termination requires that the buyer has reported the matter to the seller within 7 days of the seller’s notice of a new delivery date.

A note regarding the defect or damage must be made in the consignment note and an appropriate complaint must be made to the seller. If the risk passes to the customer and the item is destroyed, lost, deteriorated or reduced due to a reason beyond the control of the seller, the customer must still pay the purchase price. - FREIGHT AND SERVICE CHARGES
Freight, packing charges, and other service charges are invoiced according to separate charging criteria. - RETURNING THE GOODS
Returning goods delivered through the seller’s warehouse must always be agreed upon in advance with the seller’s representative, and the return must take place immediately after the agreement.

If the goods subject to the transaction have been manufactured or acquired specifically for the buyer according to their instructions and wishes, and the seller cannot utilize the goods in any other way without incurring significant losses, the buyer may cancel the transaction due to the seller’s delay only if the essential purpose of the transaction is not achieved due to the delay. - THE SELLER’S RIGHT TO ANNUL A CONTRACT
If the payment of the purchase price or part thereof is delayed beyond the due date, the seller has the right, at their discretion, to cancel the entire transaction or the part of the transaction for which the buyer has not yet received the goods.

We emphasize that the seller has the right to demand that the buyer return the unpaid goods if the invoices are more than 7 days overdue.
