5.6. Joident is generally under no obligation to return goods and only authorizes returns if the goods are in a resalable condition and in their original packaging, and the customer accepts the separately agreed handling fees.

5.7. The prices stated in the order confirmation are binding for orders and deliveries. Unless otherwise agreed, prices are ex works in Ningbo, China, excluding packaging, freight, insurance, and VAT. Packaging is at cost price.

6. Payment Terms

6.1. Unless otherwise agreed or confirmed, invoices must be paid in full within 15 days of the invoice date. Repairs and other services must be paid strictly within 7 days.

6.2. If there are outstanding receivables for deliveries not subject to retention of title or for which title has expired, payments received will be allocated first to these receivables and only to these after fully offsetting the receivables still subject to retention of title. The customer’s partial payment will first be allocated to accrued costs and other additional expenses (e.g., late payment interest, reminder fees), and then to outstanding delivery receivables. Any contrary promise to pay by the customer will be void.

6.3. If the Client’s payment is threatened because the Client’s financial situation has deteriorated or is likely to deteriorate significantly after the conclusion of the Contract, JOIDENT shall be entitled to demand immediate payment of all outstanding debts.

6.4. JOIDENT reserves the right to issue invoices for the agreed services by mail or email. All communications sent to the email address or any other electronic address specified by the Client shall be deemed received by the Client upon dispatch.

7. Property reserve

7.1. The delivered items remain the property of JOIDENT until all claims arising from the business relationship with the customer have been paid (reserved goods). Customers must exercise caution with the goods they reserve and ensure they have adequate insurance.

7.2. The purchase price claim for goods delivered under retention of title is deemed assigned to JOIDENT as security in the event of resale by the customer (extension of the retention of title). Upon request, the customer must inform Joident of the assigned claims and their debtors, provide all information necessary for collection, and submit the relevant documents.

7.3. As long as the retention of title is in effect, the customer may not use the goods delivered to it by JOIDENT as security. The conclusion of a financing agreement (such as a lease agreement) that includes an assignment of liens requires Joident’s prior written consent, unless the agreement requires the financial institution to pay Joident directly the portion of the purchase price owed to it. Customers are prohibited from entering into agreements with their buyers that could infringe Joident’s property rights.

7.4. Joident is entitled to terminate the agreement and demand the return of the delivered goods in the event of a breach of the agreement by the customer, in particular in the event of late payment. Any transport costs incurred in this event shall be borne by the customer. The customer also assumes responsibility for the goods until Joident collects them. The Customer hereby expressly and irrevocably authorizes Joident to freely access its business and storage premises and to remove the Goods.

7.5. The Customer shall bear and indemnify Joident for all damages and expenses arising from the breach of these obligations and for preventing third parties from accessing the goods by taking necessary intervention measures.

8. Warranty

8.1. JOIDENT only warrants the properties of the contract goods to the extent specified below, which were expressly promised in writing at the date of transfer of risk and are required by law. JOIDENT assumes no warranty for defects resulting from normal wear and tear, improper handling or use, improper storage, or other acts and omissions of the customer and third parties. Likewise, Joident does not guarantee the fitness for a particular purpose or availability of the contract goods, unless these have been expressly agreed in writing.

8.2. The customer is expressly obliged to check the goods for possible defects immediately after delivery. If a customer wishes to use or resell a defective product that is the subject of a complaint, this requires Joident’s prior written consent. The following provisions also apply to the determination of defects:

  • In the event of a quantity defect (excess or insufficient quantity of the goods delivered in accordance with the contract), and in any case, a notification of the defect must be made immediately upon receipt of the document indicating the weight or quantity of the items supplied, or within seven days of delivery;
  • If a quality defect is discovered upon inspection of the goods, packaging, or random sampling, notification must be given immediately, but in any event within seven days of delivery;
  • If a quality defect is not immediately detectable by inspection or sampling, the defect must be reported as soon as it is discovered. Defects/complaints reported later cannot be considered.

8.3. To report a defect, the customer must accurately describe the goods, list the alleged defects in detail, and provide Joident with supporting documentation. The notification must be submitted in writing to Joident or, if damage during transport is suspected, directly to the freight forwarder. If the notification of defects is not made in accordance with the above provisions, all warranty claims, claims for damages, and other claims of the customer are excluded.

8.4. The customer must keep the goods in a safe place until the situation is clarified and insure the goods for the purchase price in the interest of both parties to the contract.

8.5. Defects that do not affect or only slightly affect the value and fitness for normal use of the goods recognizable by Joident are not included in the warranty.

8.6. Delivery defects may be corrected by repairing the delivered goods free of charge or by exchanging them, at Joident’s discretion. In the event of an exchange of goods, the Customer is obliged to return the replaced or exchanged goods or parts to JOIDENT.

8.7. If improvement or exchange is impossible or involves disproportionate costs for Joident, the Customer is entitled to request a price reduction. If permitted by law, other rights (including rights of conversion, compensation, loss of profit, or alternative performance) are excluded, even if the defect occurred within the first six months after delivery.

8.8. The warranty period for new products is 12 months from the date of transfer of risk and 6 months for used products.

8.9. If the Customer fails to fulfill its obligations, JOIDENT may refuse to eliminate the defect.

8.10. In the event of natural wear and tear or if the delivered goods have been modified without permission and/or by the installation of foreign parts and accessories and resulting defects cannot be excluded, claims for damages and warranty claims are excluded.

9. Liability

9.1. Unless otherwise provided by mandatory statutory provisions, JOIDENT’s liability for slight negligence is excluded.

9.2. Existing claims for damages shall, depending on their merits, be limited to the purchase price of the goods in question. Liability for lost profits, indirect damages, and consequential damages is excluded.

9.3. If JOIDENT’s liability for damages is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of its employees, workers, managers, representatives, and vicarious agents.

9.4. The Customer’s claims for damages due to defects in the delivered goods shall be deemed void if they are not made within six months of becoming aware of the damage, but no later than twelve months after delivery. If it is not legally possible to agree on a limitation period for the exercise of claims for damages, these limitation periods shall be deemed to be extended to the shortest possible period.

10. Product Liability

10.1. Customers may only use products manufactured or sold by JOIDENT for their intended purposes and must ensure that they are delivered or sold only by persons familiar with the risks and proper use of the products.

10.2. When using goods delivered by JOIDENT, the Customer is required to comply with the obligations arising from the Product Liability Act and to provide warnings regarding the goods delivered by JOIDENT.

10.3. The Customer is required to observe the products it sells (including after they have been placed on the market) in order to detect harmful properties or dangerous consequences of use, and to monitor scientific and technological developments related to these products and to immediately inform JOIDENT of any errors discovered as a result of these observations in goods already delivered by JOIDENT.

11. Return Policy

11.1. Unless otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions, the Customer may not terminate the contract, exchange goods, or return goods for any other reason.

11.2. Orders for customized products cannot be cancelled. However, if this occurs, Joident will calculate the work completed up to that point or part up to a maximum amount corresponding to the total delivered value.

12. Place of Performance, Place of Jurisdiction, Choice of Law Clauses

12.1. The place of performance for JOIDENT’s deliveries is Ningbo, China.

12.2. In business dealings with businessmen and legal entities governed by public law, the place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes arising from the contractual relationship shall be the registered in the office of Ningbo Joident Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

13.3. If individual provisions of an individual agreement or these General Terms and Conditions are wholly or partially invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain valid. In the event of partial invalidity, the contracting parties undertake to replace the invalid provision with a provision that comes as close as possible to the objective of the invalid provision.

13.4. The Client’s legal successors will also be bound by the obligations of the Agreement concluded on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions.
