1.2. These terms and conditions are binding and supersede and replace any of Buyer's terms and are an integral part of the order and/or agreement. All terms and conditions in or attached to Buyer's Purchase Order are hereby expressly declared null and void, regardless of which of the documents has been forwarded last.
1.3. Any terms and conditions set forth on the Buyer's purchase order or otherwise issued by the Buyer are hereby rejected and shall not apply to the sale and supply of Products.
1.4. No other agreements or understandings, which change these terms, shall be binding unless Seller has agreed to them in writing.

2.1. Unless clearly stated on the Sales Order/Invoice, Seller will only provide light packaging of the goods, limited to securing the goods on wooden pallets and wrapping the goods in plastic bubble wrap.
2.2. Seller can offer additional packaging (if applicable) of the goods, suitable for the selected way of transport, e.g., vapor packing and wooden crating. If such has been agreed as a delivery by Seller, this will be clearly stated on the Sales Order/Invoice.
2.3. Goods shall be available on the delivery date, which is 14 days after the date on which the latter of the following two events occurs:
- a) Buyer's advance payment of the total invoice amount is received on Seller's account.
- b) Seller has had the equipment delivered by the third party from whom Seller is acquiring the equipment.
2.4. If Seller is unable to make the goods available at the time of delivery, Seller shall endeavor to make the goods available as soon as possible. Buyer is not entitled to any reimbursement of costs, expenses, or the like on grounds that Seller has failed to make goods available within the agreed availability period. Buyer's sole remedy for breach of contract in such situations is to cancel the purchase agreement. Buyer is, however, not entitled to cancel the purchase agreement unless Seller has failed to make delivery 3 months after the delivery date as determined in 2.3.
2.5. Buyer shall, to the extent that Buyer fails to retrieve the equipment within 30 days from when the equipment is made available to Buyer, be obligated to indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any and all costs that Seller may incur in connection with storing the equipment, including, but not limited to, rental of warehouse space depending on modality corresponding to the following rates per commenced week (invoiced separately on monthly sales orders):
- MRI: 900.00 EUR per commenced week
- Other equipment: 300.00 EUR per commenced week
- Ultrasound / Mobile X-Ray / Mammo: 100.00 EUR per commenced week
2.6. If any maintenance (including but not limited to liquid helium refilling) is needed during storage, this will be the responsibility of Buyer, and Buyer must cover any and all costs related to maintenance during storage.
2.7. MRI systems are sold with the liquid helium level present at the moment Buyer accepts the agreement. Any request from Buyer for liquid helium filling must be provided to Seller no later than 14 weekdays before shipment. If this notification period is not respected, shipment may be subject to delay. Seller accepts no warranty or liability for direct losses, costs, expenses, failure, or damage in relation to the supply or filling of liquid helium. Risk of loss passes from Seller to Buyer upon delivery into the MRI Cryostat.
2.8. If the Product is sold EXW and Buyer is contracting a 3rd party forwarder/transporter for collection, the Product will only be released if the transporter can present the Sales Order Number at the time of collection.
2.9. For EU intra-community transactions: If the goods are sold EXW and Buyer is handling transport, either by own means or contracting a 3rd party forwarder/transporter for collection, a copy of the signed and stamped CMR, issued by Seller, must be returned to Seller within 14 days after collection of the goods.

Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any and all costs (including rental of warehouse space corresponding to section 2.5), lost profits, lost revenue, or the like that Seller may incur in connection with such sale to a third party. Buyer shall in addition pay a 15% cancellation fee, which is calculated as 15% of the Sales Order/Invoice amount.
2.14. Buyer is not entitled to set forth any claims and/or protests against Seller with regard to the price that Seller may obtain in connection with the resale of the equipment.
3.1. Buyer understands that certain transactions of NOVO Imaging are subject to export control laws and regulations, such as but not limited to the UN, EU, and USA export control laws and regulations ("Export Regulations") which prohibit export or diversion of certain products and technology to certain countries. Any and all obligations of NOVO Imaging to export, re-export, or transfer Products as well as any technical assistance, training, investments, financial assistance, financing, and brokering will be subject in all respects to such Export Regulations and will from time to time govern the license and delivery of Products and technology abroad by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the relevant authorities responsible for such Export Regulations. If the delivery of products, services, and/or documentation is subject to the granting of an export or import license by certain governmental authorities or otherwise restricted or prohibited due to export/import control regulations, NOVO Imaging may suspend its obligations and the Buyer's/end-user's rights until such license is granted or for the duration of such restrictions or prohibitions. Furthermore, NOVO Imaging may even terminate the relevant order in all cases without incurring any liability towards the Buyer or end-user.
3.2. Buyer warrants that it will comply in all respects with the export, re-export, and transfer restrictions set forth in such Export Regulations or in export licenses (if any) for every Product supplied to Buyer. Buyer accepts the responsibility to impose all export control restrictions to any third party if the items are transferred or re-exported to third parties. Buyer shall take all actions that may be reasonably necessary to ensure that no customer/purchaser or end-user contravenes such Export Regulations. Buyer shall indemnify NOVO Imaging against any and all direct, indirect, and punitive damages, loss, costs (including attorney's fees and costs) and other liability arising from claims resulting from Buyer's or its customers' breach or non-compliance with this article.
3.3. Buyer acknowledges that the obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the termination of any agreement or other arrangement under which the products, software, or technology was provided to Buyer. In addition, in the event of any conflict in the terms provided in this Agreement with any other document entered into between Buyer and NOVO Imaging, Buyer understands that the terms of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon Buyer.

6.3. The offered Sales Order is only valid for 10 days from the Sales Order date. After this date, Seller is entitled to consider the offer obsolete and canceled.

7.4. If Buyer fails to give such notice, Buyer is deemed to have approved and accepted the goods and waived any right to claim any kind of compensation in relation to defects, errors, or the like.
7.5. In case of any significant and material defect (defined as a defect equivalent to more than 25% of the Sales Order value), and subject to the notice being given in accordance with 7.3, Buyer's sole remedy shall be cancellation of the transaction on grounds of significant defects.
7.6. Any other defects will be rectified, if possible, by Seller within a reasonable time.
7.7. Buyer is not entitled to claim any compensation for breach of contract due to defects. Buyer is thus precluded from advancing claims for any damages, loss of revenue, proportional reductions, or other compensation.
7.8. Buyer specifically agrees that cosmetic discrepancies and fair wear and tear issues are not to be regarded as defects. Only major lacks or defects, which substantially influence the overall functionality of the goods, can be defined as significant defects.
7.9. Auxiliary calibration and testing devices, instruction books, user manuals, technical manuals, installation manuals, unique service keys, and the like shall be included to the extent that such exist, but Buyer is not entitled to claim any kind of compensation against Seller to the extent that they are not included.
