General Terms and Conditions of Purchase

• General provisions
  • These General Terms and Conditions of Purchase (hereinafter referred to as the “GTCP”) form an integral part of every purchase contract concluded by Chotěbořské strojírny a.s., with its registered office at Herrmannova 520, 583 01 Chotěboř, Company ID 45534519, as the buyer, and the supplier specified in the purchase order, unless the specific contract stipulates otherwise. Deviations from these GTCP are only possible if agreed in writing.
  • Any other terms and conditions, including the supplier’s terms and conditions, form part of the contract only if they have been approved in writing by the buyer in advance.
• Order, order confirmation
  • The proposal to conclude a contract is the buyer’s written purchase order; the purchase contract is concluded upon the supplier’s written unconditional confirmation. The purchase contract is also deemed accepted and confirmed if the supplier does not raise any objections to it within two working days.
  • If the order is accepted with reservations or changes, the contract is concluded only if the buyer confirms them in writing.
• Purchase price, delivery, payment
  • Goods are delivered at purchase prices agreed in advance. If the purchase price is not stated directly in the order, the price of the goods stated in the price list, catalogue or offer with which the buyer has been demonstrably acquainted shall apply.
  • The supplier is obliged to deliver the goods by the date specified in the order and to inform the buyer without delay of any circumstances preventing delivery of the goods by the date specified in the purchase contract. The supplier is also obliged to deliver the goods together with all required documents and certificates necessary for the acceptance and use of the goods.
  • Goods are unloaded at the buyer’s registered office on working days from 6:00 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.
  • The costs associated with the return of returnable packaging are borne by the seller; the obligation to return such packaging must be expressly stated in the purchase contract, otherwise the packaging is considered non-returnable.
  • The supplier is entitled to payment of the purchase price only after delivery of the complete goods free of defects, with a maturity period of at least 30 days from the date the relevant invoice is delivered to the buyer.
  • Assignment of a claim for payment of the delivery price to a third party requires the prior written consent of the supplier.
• Acceptance of goods and transfer of ownership
  • The buyer’s obligation to inspect the goods upon receipt is limited to deviations in quantity and dimensions and to obvious defects recognisable upon receipt.
  • The buyer is entitled to statutory claims for defects in full and may demand either rectification of the defect by the supplier or delivery of new goods.
  • In the event of a material defect in the delivery, the buyer is entitled to withhold a reasonable part of the payment until the defect has been rectified.
  • Ownership of the goods passes to the buyer upon acceptance of the goods by the buyer.
• Requirements for social responsibility and ethical conduct of suppliers
  • Social responsibility requirements apply to suppliers of materials and services that affect product quality, safety, the environment or the company’s reputation. They do not apply to common office supplies and low-value overhead items with no impact on the production process. These are in particular suppliers of input materials, metallurgical materials, granulates, components and the company’s subcontracting services.
  • When fulfilling their contractual obligations, suppliers must observe the principles of ethical conduct, responsible use of resources and transparent origin of materials, and prevent the use of counterfeit or unauthorised materials.
  • By accepting the order, the supplier confirms its agreement with the General Terms and Conditions of Purchase of CHS, a.s. (GTCP) published on the company’s website; information about this fact is part of the order.
