These terms apply to all Purchase Orders (POs) issued by Aiger Group companies. Each PO is binding upon acceptance and overrides any general terms of the Seller.
Key Points
Scope – Each PO consists of a specific part (describing goods/services) and these general terms. Seller’s own terms do not apply.
Acceptance – Seller must confirm or reject the PO within 3 days; silence = acceptance.
Quality & Warranty –
Goods must match specifications (or standard specs if none).
Goods must be free from defects, encumbrances, and third-party rights.
Services must be performed with due skill and qualified personnel.
Seller provides a warranty not shorter than legally required.
Intellectual Property & Compliance – Seller guarantees ownership of IP rights and compliance with environmental and legal standards.
Packaging & Delivery –
Seller pays for packaging, labelling, and proper dispatch.
Standard delivery term: FCA (Incoterms 2020), unless agreed otherwise.
In case of delay, Buyer may cancel the PO or claim damages (up to 0.5% of PO value per day).
Inspection & Documentation –
Buyer may inspect goods before/after delivery and reject non-conforming goods.
Goods must be delivered with test protocols, certificates, and manuals.
Invoices & Payment –
Invoices must clearly state the PO number and comply with law.
Standard payment: 30 days after receipt of goods and correct invoice.
Incorrect invoices may be returned.
Audits & Termination – Buyer may audit Seller’s premises. If quality or deadlines are at risk, Buyer may cancel the PO.
Confidentiality – Seller must keep all information, documents, and Buyer’s IP confidential, and may not use Buyer’s name for advertising without consent.
Most Favoured Terms – If Seller offers better conditions to others, they must be extended to Aiger.
Governing Law & Jurisdiction – Swiss law applies; disputes are settled by the competent courts in Switzerland.
