1. Introduction
These general terms (the “Terms”) apply to all sale and deliveries from Fynbo Foods A/S (“Fynbo Foods/we/us”) to our customers (“Customers”). No conflicting, contrary or additional terms and conditions shall be deemed accepted by Fynbo Foods unless accepted separately in writing. The Terms shall prevail any of the Customer’s terms regarding purchase, sale, etc.

Fynbo Foods reserves the right to change these Terms at any time.

2. Quotation, purchase order and order confirmation/proforma invoice
All written quotations from Fynbo Foods are open for acceptance within 30 calendar days from the date of issue, unless specified differently therein. If the offer has not been accepted within the said period, the offer lapses, and Fynbo Foods is not bound by the content.

All purchase orders issued by the Customer shall specify as a minimum the type and quantity of goods requested, applicable unit prices, delivery place and requested delivery dates. No purchase order shall be binding on Fynbo Foods unless and until confirmed by us in a written order confirmation/proforma invoice. In case of incompliance between the content of the purchase order and the order confirmation/proforma invoice, the content of the order confirmation/proforma invoice shall prevail.

Quantities and number of products stated in the order confirmation/proforma invoice are approximate, and deviations of +/÷ 5 % or less will not constitute a breach of contract. The Customer will only be charged for the quantities and number of products actually delivered.

The Customer’s cancellation of an order is subject to Fynbo Foods’ prior written acceptance. In such case, the Customer shall indemnify Fynbo Foods’ costs and losses due to the cancellation.

3. Prices and payment terms
The prices for products shall be those set forth in Fynbo Foods’ order confirmation/proforma invoice. All prices are exclusive of taxes, VAT, impositions and other charges, including, but not limited to, sales, use, excise, value added, and similar taxes or charges imposed by any government authority.

Prices stated in the order confirmation/proforma invoice are based on raw material prices, subsidies, exchange rates, customs duties, etc., applicable at the date of the quotation. In case of material changes in raw material prices, exchange rates, customs duties, etc., Fynbo Foods reserves the right to adjust the prices of the contract correspondingly.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the order confirmation/proforma invoice, payment for products shall be made within 30 days (applies within Scandinavia and Europe) or with 50% by order and 50% arrival at port (applies outside Europe) without right to offset or deduction. Credit insurance is mandatory for all customers. If credit insurance cannot be obtained, full prepayment will be required.

Customers are obliged to submit financial information from time to time as may be reasonably requested by Fynbo Foods for the establishment or continuation of payment terms. Fynbo Foods may in its sole discretion at any time change agreed payment terms without notice by requiring payment cash in advance or cash on delivery, bank guarantee, letter of credit or otherwise.

If the Customer fails paying an invoice within the deadline, Fynbo Foods is entitled to charge the Customer interest from the due date to the date of payment at the rate of 2 % per month. This shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights or remedies to which Fynbo Foods is or may be entitled.

Further, Fynbo Foods reserves the right to cancel the contract and/or suspend further deliveries until all outstanding sums have been paid in full.

Title to products delivered shall remain vested in Fynbo Foods and shall not pass to the Customer until the products have been paid for in full. If the Customer fails to pay any invoice within 14 calendar days of the due date of payment, Fynbo Foods may – at the Customers expense – retake the products covered by the invoice. The Customer must ensure all products delivered to their full replacement value until title to the products has passed to the Customer.

It is the Customer’s responsibility that the products can be legally imported, and customs cleared without issues. Any additional charges in this regard lie with the Customer.

5. Examination
The Customer is obliged to examine the products delivered immediately upon receipt. Further, the Customer is deemed to have accepted the products delivered unless written notice of rejection specifying the reasons for rejection is received by us within 5 calendar days after delivery of the products. Failure to comply with this deadline entails that the Customer has forfeited any rights to remedies for breach of contract in this regard. Rejected products are the property of Fynbo Foods and shall at Fynbo Foods request be made available to us.

6. Warranty
Fynbo Foods warrants that upon delivery and for a period up to the expiry date (stated at the label of each product), the product will conform in all material aspects to the applicable and agreed specifications for such products and will be free from material defects in workmanship, material and design, however with respect of the product’s natural decline in organoleptic characteristics and colour. The warranty only applies to normal use of the product and does not cover damage resulting from misuse, inappropriate storage, negligent handling, lack of reasonable maintenance and care and any kind of accident or abuse.

The warranty above lapses as soon as the primary packaging of the product (the jar, the bottle, etc.) has been broken.
