Delivery
- Unless otherwise specified in writing, the place of delivery in all cases shall be the physical location of the customer or the location specified in the customer’s order that was contracted.
- While delivery terms mentioned in offers, quotations, confirmations, and contracts will be given due consideration to the best of our knowledge, they should not be regarded as strict deadlines.
- The customer is responsible for facilitating Supasim in carrying out the delivery.
- The customer guarantees, at their own expense and risk, that: a. Supasim is provided with the necessary cooperation to execute the delivery. b. The ordered items or services are duly accepted. c. The delivery can take place during normal working hours of 08:00 – 18:00 AEST under standard working conditions.
- In the event that the ordered items or services have been offered for delivery, but delivery is not possible due to the customer’s failure to fulfill the obligations mentioned in paragraphs 3 and 4, it shall be deemed that the purchase has been refused. At this point, the customer is considered to be in default without any further notice from Supasim. The date of refusal of acceptance shall be deemed as the delivery date for the ordered items or services. Furthermore, from this moment onwards, the goods shall be at the customer’s risk, in accordance with the provisions under the “Risk Transfer” section of these general terms and conditions.
- Notwithstanding the obligation to make payment, the customer shall be liable to compensate Supasim for any damages incurred as a result of the refusal, including costs incurred for storage and transport, the latter being calculated at the prevailing on-site rates.
Risk Transfer
Irrespective of any agreed-upon transport and insurance costs between Supasim and the customer, the items shall remain at Supasim’s risk until they are physically under the customer’s actual control or transferred by way of signing waybills, checklists, and/or packing lists, or through actual delivery.
Retention of Title
- The ownership of the goods delivered by Supasim to the customer shall only pass to the customer once all obligations under all agreements with Supasim have been fulfilled, including the settlement of any claims for services or activities rendered.
- Notwithstanding the provision in paragraph 1, the customer is entitled to use the goods received from Supasim in the normal course of business.
- The customer shall never have the authority to pledge, transfer, hand over, or make any changes to the delivered goods in any manner.
- If the customer defaults in fulfilling their obligations, Supasim has the right to retrieve the goods at the customer’s expense from their location.
Liability
- In the event that one of the parties fails to fulfill one or more of its obligations under the agreement, the other party shall issue a notice of default to the non-compliant party, unless the performance of said obligations has become permanently impossible, in which case the negligent party is considered to be in default immediately. The notice of default shall be made in writing, allowing a reasonable period for the negligent party to fulfill its obligations. This period is deemed to be of crucial importance. Supasim’s liability towards the customer for direct damages arising from non-performance, delayed, or improper performance is limited to the net invoice value of the relevant items or services.
- The limitation mentioned in paragraph 1 also applies if Supasim is held liable by the customer for any reason other than the agreement concluded between them.
- Direct damages are exclusively defined as: a. Reasonable costs that one party would have to incur to fulfill the performance of the other party under the agreement. However, such damages will not be reimbursed if the other party has terminated the agreement; b. Reasonable costs incurred to determine the cause and extent of the damage, as long as such determination relates to direct damages within the meaning of the general terms and conditions; and/or c. Reasonable costs incurred to prevent or limit damage, provided the suffering party demonstrates that these costs have resulted in the limitation of direct damages within the context of these conditions.
- Supasim shall not be liable for indirect damages, including consequential damages, loss of profits, missed savings, damages due to business interruption, and all damages not covered by direct damages within the meaning of these terms and conditions.
- The limitation of liability does not apply in cases of intent or gross negligence by directors and executives of Supasim.
- Supasim shall not be liable for materials provided by the customer to Supasim in connection with the agreement. The customer is obligated to take out adequate insurance for such materials.
- Without prejudice to the above, Supasim shall not be liable if the damage results from intentional and/or gross negligence and/or willful or improper use of the delivered goods by the customer.
Software
- Upon purchasing or using a software product, the customer receives access (Login if hosted in the cloud), the associated documentation (if any), and a user license in accordance with the licensing conditions set by the manufacturer.
- By using the software for the first time, the customer automatically agrees to the relevant license conditions. The intellectual property of the product remains with the licenser. All rights to product designations, trademarks, logos, etc., as mentioned and used by Supasim, belong to the respective rights holders. The customer must respect all rights of third parties while using the products.
- Installing new software or making changes to already installed software carries the risk of data loss. The customer must take measures to prevent data loss. Supasim is not liable for any damage resulting from the installation of new software.
Indemnification
- The customer shall indemnify Supasim to the extent permitted by law, against any liability towards one or more third parties arising from or connected with the execution of the agreement, regardless of whether the damage was caused by Supasim, its agents, affiliates, or the goods and/or services delivered. Additionally, the customer shall indemnify Supasim, to the extent permitted by law, against all claims from third parties related to any infringement of intellectual property rights by these third parties.
- The customer is responsible for securing adequate insurance to cover the aforementioned risks.
- The customer is always obliged to take all necessary measures to limit the damage.
Force Majeure
- If the performance by Supasim or the customer’s fulfillment of the agreement is delayed due to force majeure for a period exceeding one month, either party – with the exclusion of further rights – may dissolve the agreement in accordance with the law. Any performance that has already been fulfilled or carried out under the agreement will be settled pro rata.
- Force majeure circumstances, in the case of Supasim, include but are not limited to: a. Events that prevent Supasim from delivering a performance (including a performance by the customer) on time or properly; b. Strikes; c. Traffic disruptions; d. Government measures that hinder Supasim from fulfilling its obligations in a timely or proper manner; e. Riots, rebellion, war; f. Extreme weather conditions; g. Fire; and/or h. Import, export, and/or transit restrictions.
- If unforeseen circumstances arise of such a nature that it becomes unreasonable and unfair to expect Supasim to perform, either party may seek the dissolution of the agreement, in whole or in part, as decided by the judge.
Dissolution
- Each party has the right to terminate the contract, either wholly or partially and without further notice of default or judicial intervention, in the following cases, to the extent such rights have been granted: a. If the other party has applied for or been granted a suspension of payment or declared bankrupt; b. If the other party’s company is wound up voluntarily or involuntarily; c. If the enterprise of the other party undergoes a merger or acquisition; d. If a substantial part of the assets of the other party is seized; and/or e. If there are other circumstances under which the continuation of the agreement is not feasible.
- The right to dissolve the agreement shall only be exercised by each party if the other party, after proper and detailed written notice of default with a proposal for a reasonable period to remedy the breach, fails to adequately fulfill material obligations under the agreement and this breach is attributable to the other party.
- In the event of the agreement being dissolved, Supasim’s claims against the customer become immediately due. If Supasim suspends the fulfillment of its obligations, it retains its claims under the law and the agreement.
- Supasim always retains the right to claim compensation.
Intellectual Property
- Supasim ensures that the goods it delivers do not infringe Dutch patent rights, design rights, or other industrial or intellectual property rights of third parties.
- If, however, it is ultimately recognized by Supasim or a Dutch court in an irrevocable judgment that any delivered item by Supasim infringes the rights of third parties as referred to herein, Supasim will, at its discretion, either replace the infringing item with an item that does not infringe on third-party rights, acquire the relevant right or license, or refund the price paid for the item, less any normal depreciation, without being obligated to provide further compensation.
- However, the customer forfeits the rights specified in paragraph 2 if they fail to promptly and fully notify Supasim of any claims from third parties as mentioned in this article, thereby preventing Supasim from properly defending its rights in this matter.
Transmission
The customer is not allowed to assign the rights and obligations arising from the agreement to third parties without prior written permission from Supasim.

- Supasim values and respects the privacy of its customers. All personal data provided to Supasim is handled and processed in accordance with applicable legislation, particularly the Personal Data Protection Act.

In such cases, Supasim will endeavor to establish a new provision to replace the void/nullified provision while preserving the intended purpose of the original provision.
