These terms and conditions shall apply to any transaction between IDS and any purchaser of its products. Under no circumstances shall IDS be bound by a Buyer’s terms and conditions unless IDS agrees to such terms in writing. The Buyer‘s general terms will also not become part of the contract by virtue of acceptance or completion of an order.

2. These GTC shall also apply for all future deliveries and services by IDS even if no subsequent reference is made to them. The Buyer‘s general terms shall not be applicable, even if IDS does not expressly contradict or reject them.

3. Amendments and additions to the contract and to technical specifications can only be made by an officer of IDS. Verbal assurances and/or promises and/or declarations by IDS employees will only be binding if they are confirmed by an officer of IDS in writing.

1. Prices quoted, unless otherwise stated in writing, do not include sales, use, excise or similar taxes or duties. Buyer shall pay these taxes directly if the law permits or will reimburse Seller if it is required to pay them. Buyer will provide a tax exemption certificate or evidence of tax payment on request. Unless otherwise stated, prices are valid for sixty (60) days from the date specified on the quotation and shall be the delivery date specified in the quotation. Revisions to the desired delivery date by the Buyer and delays not due to IDS’s negligence may be subject to escalation of prices at Seller’s sole discretion.

IDS can accept the Buyer‘s orders within two weeks of receipt of the order by IDS. The Buyer may place its binding order of the products in the shopping- cart by clicking the button “place order” (or similar) on the website of IDS (www.ids-imaging.us) or by sending a purchase order document to IDS via email, fax, or mail.

2. A contract with IDS is formed when the Buyer receives the order confirmation from IDS via email or IDS commences rendering the products or services.

3. Where IDS issues a written confirmation of order, such confirmation shall be determinative as to the substance and scope of the contract between the parties, unless it was expressly agreed in writing by the parties to the contrary.

1. Unless otherwise agreed bet- ween the parties, the delivery is effected ex-works or warehouse and on account and risk of the Buyer. The risk of loss or damage to the products passes to the Buyer upon dispatch.

1. To the best of our knowledge and belief, delivery is made in the country of the delivery location unencumbered by commercial protection rights or copyrights of third parties (referred to in the following as „Protective Rights“). If a third party files a valid claim against the Buyer for infringement of Protective Rights by products delivered by us and used in accordance with the contract, IDS shall be liable to the Buyer as follows:

a. At its discretion, IDS will either obtain right of use for the delivery in question to its own cost, or

b. IDS will modify the products in such manner that the protective rights are no longer infringed, or

c. IDS will replace the delivery with products that are not deficient.

2. If IDS is unable to take any of these steps under reasonable conditions, the Buyer shall be entitled to the statutory rights of rescission or reduction. The obligation to pay compensatory damages is governed by the pertinent law and subject to the liability limits of clause VII.

3. The obligations of IDS stated in paragraphs 1. and 2. of this section are exhaustive in the case of infringement of Protective Rights. They take effect only if:

a. the Buyer immediately informed IDS about the claim of infringement of Protective Rights by a third party;

b. the Buyer lends IDS reasonable assistance in defending against the claims; and IDS enables modification measures;

c. IDS reserves the right to take all defensive steps, including making extra-judicial settlements;

d. the Buyer has not created or caused the violation of the Protective Rights;

e. the defect of title has not arisen as a result of other information that the Buyer made available to IDS;

f. the rights infringement did not arise as a result of the Buyer altering the delivered products in an unauthorized manner or using them in a manner inconsistent with the contract.

4. IDS shall not be liable for any remedies whatsoever if the Buyer makes modifications to the delivered products, installs additional equipment or combines the delivered Products with other equipment or devices, and as a result protective rights of third parties are infringed.

Buyer’s order will be deemed a re- presentation that Buyer is solvent and able to pay for the products ordered. If Buyer fails to make payments when due, or if bankruptcy or insolvency proceed-ings are instituted by or against Buyer, or if Buyer makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, Buyer will be deemed to be in default and IDS will have the right to terminate its obligations by written notice to Buyer, but such termination will not affect Buyer’s obligation to pay for products delivered and works in progress.

1. Buyer acknowledges that the Products are not intended for use in:

a. weapons or nuclear-related applications;

b. applications involving the human body (for example, endoscopic cameras, im-plantable cameras, etc.); and

c. applications where the failure of the Products could be reasonably expected to result in personal injury, death or damage to property (collectively, “Prohibited Applications”).

2. Buyer will not use the products for any Prohibited Applications. If IDS, in its sole discretion, determines that the Buyer uses or is about to use the products form any Prohibited Applications, IDS or its distributors may immediately stop supplying Products to the Buyer.

IDS will not be liable for any failure to perform due to the prospect, occurrence or results of any act of God, war, civil commotion, acts of civil or military authority, legislation, strike, labor dispute, breakdown of machinery, accident, inability to obtain supplies, raw materials, labor, equipment, fuel, power, components, or transportation, inability to obtain any necessary import or export or other licenses or the consent of any governmental authority or any other cause or circumstances whatsoever beyond its control, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.
