BASIS OF SALE

2.1 The Buyer agrees to purchase the Goods from the Seller and the Seller agrees to sell the
Goods to the Buyer on the terms and subject to the conditions of these Conditions.
2.2 By placing an Order with the Seller or accepting the Seller’s quotation, the Buyer agrees to
deal with the Seller on the terms and conditions set out in these Conditions, to the exclusion of all
other terms, conditions, warranties or representations (including any terms or conditions on
which the Buyer purports to accept the quotation or to apply under any purchase order,
confirmation of order, specification or any other document). These Conditions shall govern and
are incorporated into each and every Contract.
2.3 No variation to these Conditions shall be binding unless agreed in Writing between the
authorised representatives of the Buyer and the Seller.
2.4 The Seller’s employees or agents are not authorised to make any representations concerning
the Goods unless confirmed by the Seller in Writing.
2.5 In entering into a Contract the Buyer acknowledges that it does not rely on, and
unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim damages for and/or to rescind the Contract
as a result of, any representations (other than fraudulent misrepresentations) not contained in
these Conditions or which are not otherwise confirmed in Writing by the Seller.
2.6 Any advice or recommendation given by the Seller or its employees or agents to the Buyer or

entitled to correct any error contained in any quotation issued by electronic communication to the
Buyer by a representative of the Seller without any liability on the part of the Seller. The Buyer
hereby acknowledges that due to the informality and ease of electronic communication errors
can occur more readily than by other means of communication but that such errors are capable
of being corrected by the Seller without any liability or the Seller being bound to sell in
accordance with such mistaken terms.
2.9 Upon the Seller discovering an error in the price of Goods ordered by the Buyer, the Seller
may inform the Buyer of such error as soon as possible and may give the Buyer the option of
reconfirming its order at the correct price or cancelling its order. If the Seller is unable to contact
the Buyer, the Buyer agrees that the Seller may treat the order as cancelled. If the order is
cancelled at any time after the order has been paid for at the incorrect price, the Seller will
provide the Buyer with a full refund as soon as possible.

responsible for any loss or claim against the customer by their customer or the original
equipment Manufacturer. By placing a Purchase Order with Qualified Networks B.V. you are
accepting these conditions.

time after delivery of the Goods, unless the Goods are to be collected by the Buyer or the Buyer

set-off, counterclaim, withholding or deduction of any kind, those rights being expressly
excluded) on the date as stipulated on the front of the sales invoice unless agreed otherwise in

at the rate of 4% per cent per annum (or, if higher, the rate payable under the Late Payment of

treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest); (f) recover from the Buyer all
costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Seller in recovering any debts to be paid by the
Buyer (including all legal costs on a full indemnity basis); and (g) charge (in addition to interest
and any legal costs ordered by the Court and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies
available to the Seller) the sum of €100.00 plus VAT or 10% of the total debt, whichever is the
greater, by way of liquidated damages and as a contribution to administrative costs incurred by
the Seller in taking steps to secure payment.

DELIVERY

6.1 Delivery of the Goods shall be made Ex Works (Incoterms 2010) at any time after the Seller
has notified the Buyer that the Goods are ready for collection or if, some other place for delivery
is agreed by the Seller, by the Seller delivering the Goods to that place in accordance with the
applicable Incoterm agreed between the parties in Writing.
6.2 Where the Goods are delivered to a place other than the Seller’s premises, the Buyer shall
provide at its own cost and expense all necessary labour and equipment to enable the Goods to
be safely unloaded at the alternative delivery address.
6.3 Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and the Seller shall not be
liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods howsoever caused. Time for delivery shall not be of
the essence. The Goods may be delivered by the Seller in advance of the quoted delivery date
upon giving reasonable notice to the Buyer and the Buyer agrees to accept and take delivery of
the Goods on such earlier date.
6.4 The Seller shall be entitled to deliver the Goods in instalments. Where the Goods are
delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the
Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any
claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat
the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
6.5 Subject always to Condition 8, if the Seller fails to deliver the Goods for any reason other than
any cause beyond the Seller’s reasonable control or the Buyer’s fault and the Seller is accordingly
liable to the Buyer, the Seller’s liability for its failure to deliver shall be limited to the excess (if
any) of the cost to the Buyer (in the cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those
not delivered over the price of the Goods.
6.6 Subject to other provisions of these Conditions, the Seller shall not be liable for any Loss,
costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of
the Goods, nor shall any delay entitle the Buyer to terminate or rescind the Contract.
6.7 If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give the Seller adequate delivery
instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the
Buyer’s reasonable control or by reason of the Seller’s fault) then, without prejudice to any other
right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller may: (a) store the Goods until actual delivery and
charge the Buyer for the reasonable costs of storage (including insurance); and/or (b) sell the
Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling
expenses) charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.
6.8 Any claim by the Buyer which is based on a shortfall in the quantities of Goods delivered shall
(whether or not delivery is refused) be notified to the Seller in writing within 48 hours from the
time of delivery (or, in the case of delivery being effected by the Buyer collecting the Goods at the
Seller’s premises, within 48 hours from the time of collection). Where the Buyer fails to notify the
Seller accordingly, the Seller shall be deemed to have supplied the Goods in accordance with the
quantities specified in the Contract, and shall have no liability to the Buyer in respect of any such
shortfall claim.
6.9 If the Goods have not been delivered despite receipt by the Buyer of the invoice from the
Seller relating to them then, unless the Buyer notifies the Seller within 7 days after the date of
such invoice, no claim against the Seller may be made in respect of non-delivery of those goods.
6.10 If the Goods are damaged (and such damage is visible) on delivery then, unless the Buyer
notifies the Seller or the carrier in writing (otherwise than on the delivery note) within 3 days of
delivery, no claim against the Seller may be made in respect of damage to such Goods.

RISK AND PROPERTY

7.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer: (a) in the case of Goods to be
delivered at the Seller’s premises at the time when the Seller notifies the Buyer that the Goods are
available for collection; or (b) in the case of Goods to be delivered otherwise than at the Seller’s
premises, at the time of delivery or, if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, the
time when the Seller has tendered delivery of the Goods.
7.2 Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these
Conditions, legal title in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in cash
or cleared funds payment in full of (i) the price of the Goods (plus VAT); and (ii) all other sums
which are or which become due to the Seller from the Buyer on any account.
7.3 Until such time as legal title in the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall: (a) hold the
Goods as the Seller’s fiduciary agent and bailee and shall accordingly remain liable to account to
the Seller for the Goods; (b) store the Goods (at no cost to the Seller) separately from those of
the Buyer and third parties; (c) identify the Goods as the Seller’s property; (d) not remove, alter,
destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; and (e)
protect and maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured on the Seller’s
behalf for their full price against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Seller.
7.4 Subject to Condition 7.2, the Buyer shall be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the ordinary
course of its business but such right shall terminate immediately if: (a) the Buyer fails to make
payment of any sum whatsoever due to the Seller (whether in respect of the Goods or any other
goods or services under any agreement between the Buyer and Seller) on the relevant due date;
(b) the Seller, acting reasonably, notifies the Buyer in Writing that it has bona fide doubts as to the
solvency of the Buyer; (c) the Seller has a right to terminate the Contract under Condition 9; (d)
the Buyer suffers any event of insolvency as described in Condition 9.1; (e) the Buyer allows any
execution, whether legal or equitable to be levied on its property or obtained against it; (f) the
Buyer fails to observe any of its obligations under the Contract or any other contract between the
Seller and Buyer; or (g) the Buyer encumbers or in any way charges any of the Goods.
7.5 Where the Seller is unable to determine whether any Goods are the goods in respect of which
the Buyer’s right to possession has terminated, the Buyer shall be deemed to have sold all goods
of the kind sold by the Seller to the Buyer in the order in which they were invoiced to the Buyer.
7.6 Until such time as title in the Goods passes to the Buyer (and provided the Goods are still in
existence and have not been resold), the Seller shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to
deliver-up the Goods to the Seller and, if the Buyer fails to do so, the Seller, its agents or
employees, may forthwith enter upon any premises of the Buyer or any third party where the
Goods are stored and repossess the Goods. If the Goods have been incorporated into any
property within the control of the Buyer, the Seller may dismantle the Goods or detach them from
any items and all costs incurred in so doing and any diminution in the value of the Goods suffered
by the Seller, or loss of profit on the resale of the Goods shall be charged against the Buyer.
7.7 The Seller shall be entitled to re-sell or otherwise dispose of recovered Goods in any way the
Seller in its absolute discretion, thinks fit. The Buyer hereby grants the Seller a non-exclusive
world-wide, royalty free, perpetual, irrevocable licence (with a right to sub-license) to use, for the
purpose of such re-sale or disposal, any and all trademarks which may have been applied to the
Goods by the Buyer and/or by the Seller or any third party at the request of, or with the consent of,
the Buyer.
7.8 The Buyer shall not be entitled to encumber or in any way charge any of the Goods in which
legal title remains vested in the Seller. If the Buyer does so all monies owing by the Buyer to the
Seller shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Seller) forthwith become due
and payable.
