TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PURCHASE OF VISIONECT COMPONENTS

Hi!

These Terms and conditions (the “Terms”) are the basis for purchasing Visionect components such as Visionect systemboards (electronic boards), rechargeable lithium batteries and other components intended for installation in and/or further integration (cumulatively referred to as the “Products”) in ePaper digital signage products. These Products are not intended for direct use and are sold through our authorised representative.

These Terms form a legally binding contract between you and Visionect d.o.o. So please read them carefully. We suggest that you print a copy of the Terms and keep them in your records.

BY PLACING AN ORDER AND/OR PAYING OUR INVOICE FOR ANY OF OUR COMPONENTS YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS AND EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE TERMS IN FULL. IN CASE YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS OR ANY PART OF THEM, SIMPLY DON’T PLACE AN ORDER.

1. Terms of Sale

Basically put, this section describes the who’s and what’s in our easy buying process. You choose the products you want on the website, decide how many you’d like and place an order with one of our authorised representatives at sales@visionect.com, and they will send you a proforma invoice with a specification of your inquiry. If the proforma invoice is in accordance with what you have agreed, pay it and we will ship the paid Products your way.

If the language in these terms gets too complicated or if you have any questions about how to buy the Visionect components, please contact our Support Team at sales@visionect.com (or info@visionect.com), and they’ll walk you through the process.

2. What is a Visionect component?

Visionect offers its partners an array of hardware components intended for further integrations into different e-Paper solutions. The list of our components, technical data and details can be obtained via our authorised representative, some are also listed in our online knowledge base- https://docs.visionect.com/Legacy/index.html. Our hardware components are also supported by our software solution (Visionect Software Suite) developed by Visionect, who owns all intellectual property rights within. To see which ones, please consult our authorised representative or see the above mentioned website.

Visionect components are intended for further integration and are not themselves certified or approved by any safety or another standard. Certification, compliance or other legal requirements are Your sole obligation, if and when placing a product containing one or more of our components on the market.

Visionect hardware components are highly sensitive to static electricity and handling and can be damaged by your miss-use or improper handling of the Product.

3. Who can buy Visionect components?

We can only sell Visionect components to legally organized and incorporated legal entities that comply with the local law of the country of delivery. B2B (business-to-business) means a transaction in which the supplier and the customer are legal entities.

Your Status

By placing an order on the Website or through our representative, you confirm that you are:

  • representing a legal person;
  • legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
  • duly authorised to enter into binding contracts on your or your companies or organisations behalf;
  • if in the EU, able to provide your VAT number, when applicable;
  • not a person barred from buying the Products under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions, including the country in which you reside or from where you use the Products; for example, that you do not appear on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or face any other similar prohibition; and that
  • you will comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations.

Since we need to know who we are working with, you also agree not to omit or misrepresent any data for the creation and further use of your account, and you agree to update such data to ensure that such data is current, complete and accurate.

By accepting these Terms, you represent that you understand and agree to the foregoing.

4. Orders

The Terms become binding on You when you place your order, or pay the Proforma Invoice sent to you, whichever occurs earlier. This also means you agree and have accepted these Terms. The purchase becomes binding upon us once we have sent You an order confirmation after having received the purchase order and your payment.

We need to receive your payment before we can accept your order. You can pay with a credit card, PayPal, or any other pre-arranged payment method.

We can cancel your order if we deem it necessary. In case we have already received any of your payment, all funds will be returned.

Regardless of the foregoing, an agreement will not be binding on either party if the offer from Visionect provided to You in the ordering process or the Customer’s order contains a typing error, and the other party knew or should have known that such error existed, or if You have provided incorrect payment or delivery information.

Once your order is confirmed by Visionect it is considered NCNR (non-cancellable and non-returnable), so You will not be able to cancel it. We will therefore not reimburse any payments received from you.

5. Pricing & Payment Terms

The total purchase price for the chosen product(s) is displayed on your Proforma Invoice. The product is paid in advance. All prices are quoted in EURO or applicable local currency and do not include shipping and other fees unless otherwise expressly stated. Additionally, local VAT, applicable sales taxes, export or import charges, insurance charges, customs and duty fees, personal property taxes or similar charges – all of which are your responsibility to pay, unless expressly otherwise stated, may apply in your jurisdiction. Your order is considered as accepted when your card is debited and Visionect receives payment of invoice.

You need to pay us all taxes and governmental fees we are required to collect or pay upon sale or delivery of the Products unless you provide us with direct payment authority or an exemption certificate valid in the jurisdiction the Visionect components will be delivered.

Our price quotes are non-binding unless we let you know in writing. An order is valid and binding only after we confirm it in writing. Visionect is not responsible for any pricing, typographical, or other errors in our communications. We may process payment and ship parts of an order separately.

We can cancel or indefinitely suspend an accepted order, and refuse additional orders if: (i) you don’t do what you’re supposed to do according to these Terms, (ii) you stop doing business or enter into any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding that lasts more than 30 days, or assign your assets for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) if third-party financing in connection with your Products purchase(s) aren’t fast enough for us.

Once your order is confirmed by Visionect it is considered NCNR (non-cancellable and non-returnable), so You will not be able to cancel it. We will therefore not reimburse any payments received from you.
