Prices are informed as AB NorthQ’s address, and the Customer pays all shipment costs.
Potential discounts will lapse if payment is not due cf. clause 6.
5 Payment
Payment must be done in accordance with the order confirmation or invoice. Unless otherwise set out in the order confirmation or invoice, payment is due by delivery and due date appears on the invoice. NorthQ is entitled to investigate the Customer’s creditworthiness, and collect information about persons, who by the Customer is authorized to purchase etc. When due date is exceeded the Customer must pay interest of 2 % per month of the due balance from last timely pay date and until payment. NorthQ is entitled to charge a debt collecting fee of DKK 100 per reminder of payment.
If payment is delayed, NorthQ is entitled to withhold other orders from the Customer, which has not been delivered yet. NorthQ is furthermore entitled to obstruct the delivery of already shipped products and cancel former offers and/or order confirmations until the Customer has paid any overdue payments and potential interest. No matter other payment terms have been agreed, NorthQ is entitled to make any future delivery conditional on payment in cash or security, if the Customer does not pay timely.
If delivery has been postponed due to circumstances attributable to the Customer, time of payment will not change.
The Customer may not set off any payment against claims from other legal matters, and the Customer may not withhold or refuse payment due to late performance, right to complain, or counterclaims regarding the specific shipment.
Until NorthQ has received full payment including any outlay, extra charge or interests, NorthQ retains the ownership of the products (retention of title). The Customer must until termination of retention of title hold the products safe and separate for identification.
6 Delivery
​
Shipment happens from NorthQ’s address, regardless if NorthQ’s employees or a third party by separate agreement with the customer, delivers products to the Customer. The Customer is passed the risk of the product, at the time when the product is at the Customers disposal at NorthQ’s address or has been turned over to a carrier. Delivery will happen on the Customer’s risk and account. If delivery cannot happen due to circumstances of the Customer, the products are kept on the Customers risk and account at NorthQ’s or third party’s stock. NorthQ may charge rent and cover any expenses etc.
An announced delivery time is an estimate and not binding for NorthQ, unless fixed delivery time is explicitly specified in the agreement. Is fixed delivery time explicitly agreed, NorthQ may prolong with up to 10 working days from the time when the fixed delivery time expires.
If the Customer chooses to avoid the agreement because of NorthQ’s late performance, the Customer is only entitled to refunds from the specific delivery, and is not entitled to refund of any other delivery. The Customer cannot maintain any other remedy for breach of contract, and thus cannot claim any kind of damages, including loss of profit, collateral damages or any other indirect loss.
If NorthQ’s late performance is caused by circumstances of which the Customer is responsible, the delivery date is postponed with the number of days corresponding with the circumstances. If additional costs incur, due to the late performance of the Customer, NorthQ is entitled to charge the Customer, for the original staff and the extra resources made necessary by the Customer’s late performance. NorthQ may also charge the Customer for any additional expenses caused by long delivery.
NorthQ reserves the right for sold out products or price errors. The Customer will be informed about this immediately after an order is made.
​
7 Right to refusal
​
After delivery the Customer must immediately and no later than seven days after delivery, make such investigations of the product, as must be expected in the business including inspection of the product for any lack of conformity. The Customer must immediately and no later than eight days after discovering of a lack of conformity, inform NorthQ in writing about the lack of conformity and attach a copy of the invoice. If the Customer discovers a lack of conformity, and does not inform NorthQ timely and according to the above, the lack of conformity is no longer valid.
​If the Customer has not within six months after delivery made a lack of conformity known to NorthQ, the Customer can no longer make it valid. For parts that have been replaced or fixed, NorthQ will have the same obligations, as for the original product, for six months, but never longer than nine months after the original delivery. If the product was already used or a “special deal” etc. the timeframe is reduced to three months.
NorthQ’s liability for errors or lack of conformity is always limited to NorthQ’s choice between delivery of substitute goods, remedy or proportional reduction of price. The Customer cannot claim any other remedy for breach of contract.
