Terms & conditions

TAVRIDA ELECTRIC NORTH AMERICA INC. CONDITIONS OF SALE

I. GOVERNING PROVISIONS AND ACCEPTANCE: 

  • All quotations are subject to these conditions of sale. Acceptance of an order by Tavrida Electric shall be expressly conditioned on Purchaser’s assent to these conditions. Purchaser’s direction to proceed with engineering, manufacture or shipment by Tavrida Electric shall be deemed evidence of this assent. No modified or other conditions will be applicable unless those conditions are so stated in Tavrida Electric’s proposal or are specifically agreed to in writing and signed by an authorized official of Tavrida Electric. Failure to object to provisions contained in any Purchase Order or other communication from the Purchaser (including, without limitation, penalty clauses of any kind) shall not be construed as a waiver of these conditions nor an acceptance of any other provisions. These terms are a complete statement of the parties’ agreement and may only be modified in writing signed by both parties. These terms may not be modified by course of dealing, course of performance or usage of trade. These terms supersede all previous written or oral quotations statements or agreements. Any contract for sale by and between the parties shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Each of the parties irrevocably attorns to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia.

II. QUOTATIONS:

  • Written quotations shall be valid for no more than thirty (30) days from their date, unless otherwise stated in the quotation. Verbal quotations expire the same day unless accepted in writing that day. All quotations are subject to change by Tavrida Electric at any time upon notice to Purchaser. Quotations are made based on Tavrida Electric’s interpretation of the plans and specifications submitted to Tavrida Electric by the Purchaser. It is the Purchaser’s obligation to review the quotation carefully and to immediately advise Tavrida Electric in writing of any differing interpretation Purchaser has so any necessary change can be made.

III. ORDER ENTRY:

  • A complete, signed Purchase Order must be received before entry of an order into Tavrida Electric’s system. Considerable detail is involved in the manufacture of power equipment. To facilitate timely shipment, complete details and information, including Purchaser’s requested on-site dates must be provided at the time of order entry, shipment dates are approximate and are based upon timely receipt of all necessary information from the Purchaser. Lack of complete information may result in delays of drawings or manufacture. Such delays shall relieve Tavrida Electric from compliance with the quoted delivery dates and may lead to price escalation. Failure to provide a complete signed Purchase Order within twenty (20) days of notification of award may result in renegotiation of price or shipment dates.

IV. APPROVAL DRAWINGS:

  • When required by a specific Purchase Order, drawings will be submitted for approval per agreed upon schedules to assure Tavrida Electric has designed the equipment as described in Purchaser’s specifications, as modified by Tavrida Electric’s quotation. If at time of drawing approval Tavrida Electric has not designed the equipment to meet the specifications, as modified by Tavrida Electric’s quotation, Tavrida Electric will make the appropriate changes at no charge to Purchaser. Where the Purchaser’s specification is not definitive, Tavrida Electric shall have the right to design the product in line with good commercial practice, without further obligation to Purchaser. If at drawing approval, Purchaser makes changes outside the design as stated in the specifications, such changes shall be treated as a Change Order as provided below.

V. PRICE POLICY:

  • Quoted prices are firm provided:

    • A) The order is received with complete engineering details and is released for manufacture within thirty (30) calendar days from the originally anticipated release date.

    • B) All required approval drawings are returned and equipment released by Purchaser no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the original date of mailing of approval drawings by Tavrida Electric or as per negotiated schedule at time of order placement. The returned drawings must be released for manufacture for shipment on the agreed date. Drawing re-submittals which are required for any reason other than to correct Tavrida Electric errors will not extend the thirty (30) day deadline. If the Purchaser causes delay of shipment in any way or returns approval drawings beyond the time stated above, Purchaser may be subject to charges which shall not exceed 1% of the Purchase Order price for each full month or fraction thereof that shipment is delayed, as compensation to Tavrida Electric for expenses created by such delay and not as a penalty. If shipment is delayed through the fault of Purchaser for more than 270 days from the originally anticipated release date, the price must be renegotiated.

VI. PRICING-PURCHASER CHANGES:

  • All prices cover a bill of material as described in Tavrida Electric specifications or quotations to be designed and manufactured to Tavrida Electric standard designs, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties. Purchaser may make minor changes not effecting the time or cost of performance without charges prior to the final drawing approval. If any changes are requested by the Purchaser after submission of the original Purchase Order, additional billing will be made with the amount of price added dependent on the changes and the status of the order when the change is made. Changes may also result in an extension of time for shipment. All changes will be agreed to by the parties, in writing, prior to implementation. Purchaser’s rescheduling shipment will be considered a change. All expenses incurred by Tavrida Electric in connection with the storage of equipment, including demurrage packing, storage charges, insurance and handling charges by Tavrida Electric will be paid by the Purchaser upon submission of invoices by Tavrida Electric. Tavrida Electric will issue price changes for any change requested by the Purchaser that affects modifications of equipment, changes the bills of material, engineering or drawings or delivery schedule as follows: A) If Purchaser makes a change to an order prior to being released to engineering, the net price may be adjusted by re-pricing the equipment with prices in effect at the time of the change. A commensurate delay in the shipping date will be based on the changes involved. B) For changes made after the order is released to engineering, the net price and ship date will be adjusted as described in paragraph A) above. An additional charge based on Tavrida Electric standard engineering billing charges and cost of parts ($500 minimum) may be made to cover any extra engineering and drafting, scrap or rework of parts, or cost of modification. C) If during the drawing approval process, the Purchaser makes changes outside the design covered by the specifications, Tavrida Electric will be reimbursed as described in paragraph A and B above, plus any additional charges for any extra cost incurred as a direct result of the changes and allowed a commensurate delay in shipping date based on the changes involved. Changes to the order can not be processed until a formal Change Order is received from the Purchaser.

VII. SUBSTITUTION:

  • Tavrida Electric may furnish suitable substitutes for material unobtainable because of priorities of regulations established by governmental authority or non-availability of materials from suppliers, provided such substitutions do not adversely affect the technical soundness of the equipment. Tavrida Electric assumes no liability for deviation from published dimensions and descriptive information not essential to proper performance of the product. 

VIII. TAXES:

  • Any duty, tariff, levy, tax or charge (including without limitation, sales, use, excise, goods and services, harmonized, value-added and withholding taxes), customs levy or inspecting, licensing or testing fee, or other tax, fee or charge of any nature whatsoever, imposed by any governmental authority or measured by any transaction between Tavrida Electric and Purchaser, shall be paid by the Purchaser in addition to the prices quoted or invoiced, and such charges will appear as a separate line item on the invoice. In the event Tavrida Electric will be required to pay any such tax, fee, or charge, Purchaser shall reimburse Tavrida Electric or, in lieu of such payment, Purchaser shall supply Tavrida Electric at the time the order is submitted with an exemption certificate or other document acceptable to the tax authority. Purchase Orders must state the existence and amount of any such tax, fee or charge for which Purchaser claims an exemption. 

IX. TERMS OF PAYMENT:

  • Acceptance of all Purchase Orders is subject to Purchaser meeting Tavrida Electric credit standards.

Tavrita Electric may set terms of payment for customers that do not meet credit standards. All invoices must be paid in full. Invoices must not be held or any set off made due to a dispute. Any disputed amount settled by agreement between Tavrida Electric and Purchaser shall be debited by way of a Debit Memo which must indicate the reason for the debit. A service charge of 2% per month shall be applicable to a past due invoice. Tavrida Electric reserves the right at any time to demand full or partial payment before proceeding with a contract of sale, if in its sole judgment, the financial condition of the Purchaser shall not justify the terms of payment specified. 

X. PAYMENTS:

  • If delivery is delayed or deferred by the Purchaser beyond the scheduled date, payment shall be due in full when Tavrida Electric is prepared to ship. Title shall pass to Purchaser upon payment. The equipment may be stored at the risk and expense of the Purchaser. If the Purchaser defaults when any payment is due, then the whole contract price shall at the option of Tavrida Electric become due and payable upon demand without prejudice to other lawful remedies. Tavrida Electric may in such event in its discretion defer delivery or cancel the contract for sale. If Purchaser becomes insolvent or bankrupt or in the event any proceeding is brought against the Purchaser, voluntarily or involuntarily under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, Tavrida Electric may cancel any order then outstanding at any time and recover its proper cancellation charges from the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s successors and assigns.
