Orders, Changes, and Cancellations

The Buyer is responsible for the correctness of the order confirmation, including items being purchased, quantities, pricing, discounting, and bill-to and ship-to designations.

Purchase contracts and orders from the Buyer shall be binding and noncancellable. Changes to a purchase contract either by design and/or scope of supply may result in changes to the price and/or delivery and require a signed change order confirmation from the Buyer.

At ICWE’s request, the information, including any and all copies thereof, shall be returned to ICWE without undue delay. These provisions shall not apply to information that is publicly available or has lawfully come into the Buyer’s possession.

The Buyer shall be solely responsible for checking whether the documents, data, figures, drawings, templates, and other information that the Buyer has provided ICWE infringe upon the rights of any third party. If a third party holds us liable for copyright and/or industrial property right infringements or for a violation of any law against unfair competition due to our use, exploitation, or reproduction of the documents and samples, the Buyer must assist ICWE in our defense in connection with such infringements and compensate us for any and all damage and losses (including lawyers’ fees and the cost of judicial proceedings).

Payment

Upon receipt of a completed purchase contract, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total order shall be made to ICWE by the Buyer.

ICWE will accept checks only if they are drawn on a U.S. bank and payment will not be regarded as having been made until the check is redeemed.

ICWE reserves the right to withhold shipment of new orders if Buyer has any outstanding payments until all outstanding dept is paid in full. Late payments will accrue interest charges at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month.

Shipping and Returns

The Buyer shall bear the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the items being shipped. At the wish of the Buyer and at the Buyer’s own expense, ICWE can insure the shipment against transport, fire and water damage as well as breakage, theft, and other insurable risk.

ICWE reserves the right and may determine at its sole discretion to either repair or replace any defects of our supplied equipment as long as the Buyer informs ICWE in writing immediately after the discovery of such defects. If the claim proves to be justified, ICWE shall bear all required expenses, in particular shipping, transport, transit, labor and material costs, so long as they do not increase due to the supplied items having been brought to a location other than the delivery address listed on the purchase contract.
