- If a fixed price has been agreed for the work, AmaraPure will inform the Buyer of any additional costs or financial consequences of the extra work.
- If a fixed price has been agreed for certain work and performing that work results in extra work which reasonably cannot be included in the fixed price, or the price must be increased due to incorrect information provided by the Buyer which was relevant for price determination (unless AmaraPure should have discovered the incorrect information before setting the price), AmaraPure is entitled to charge these costs, after consultation with the Buyer. If the Buyer or an authorized representative is not present on-site, AmaraPure is entitled either to suspend its work or to perform the necessary work in its professional opinion, with the costs and risks borne by the Buyer.

AmaraPure will inform the Buyer of all circumstances that may affect the (availability) of maintenance.
- The Buyer is obliged to report any defects, errors, or other malfunctions in writing to AmaraPure, after which AmaraPure, according to its usual procedures, will repair the defects or make improvements as soon as possible and to the best of its ability.

- The Buyer is obliged to provide cooperation to AmaraPure upon first request.
Article 13 – Delivery of Installation
- If the start, progress, or delivery of the work is delayed because, for example, the Buyer did not or did not timely provide all requested information, does not cooperate sufficiently, the (advance) payment was not received on time by AmaraPure, or due to other circumstances for which the Buyer is responsible, AmaraPure is entitled to a reasonable extension of the delivery period. All agreed delivery periods are never fatal deadlines.
- All damages and additional costs resulting from a delay caused by the reasons stated in paragraph 1 are at the Buyer’s expense and risk and may be charged by AmaraPure.

- If AmaraPure has indicated that the work is ready for delivery and the Buyer does not inspect or accept the work within a reasonable period, the work is deemed accepted silently. Minor defects that can be remedied within the maintenance period do not justify non-acceptance if they do not hinder use. After acceptance, the work is considered delivered.
- After delivery, the work is at the Buyer’s risk. Therefore, the price remains due regardless of loss or deterioration of the work due to reasons not attributable to AmaraPure.
- AmaraPure is not liable for defects that the Buyer could reasonably have discovered at the time of delivery, except in cases of intentional or grossly negligent behavior by AmaraPure.
- AmaraPure is entitled to deliver and/or perform work in parts, with each partial delivery or partial performance invoiced separately.

- During the validity period of the Offer, the prices of the offered Products or Work will not increase, except in the case of changes in VAT rates.
- The prices stated in the Offer are exclusive of VAT unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- The prices mentioned in the Offer are based on the cost factors applicable at the time of concluding the Agreement, such as import and export duties, freight and unloading costs, insurance, and any levies and taxes.
- In the case of Products or raw materials subject to price fluctuations in the financial market, over which AmaraPure has no influence, AmaraPure may offer these Products at variable prices. The Offer will state that the prices are indicative and may fluctuate.
- If AmaraPure executes the order (partially) on the Buyer’s premises, additional costs (travel, call-out, parking, and accommodation) will be charged, unless agreed otherwise. For urgent work or work outside office hours at the Buyer’s request, a surcharge may also apply as agreed in the quotation and/or Agreement. Shipping costs are to be reimbursed by the Buyer.
- The Buyer cannot derive any rights or expectations from a previously provided estimate unless expressly agreed otherwise. If the quoted price is indicative, it may be adjusted during the execution of the Agreement unless AmaraPure has timely warned the Buyer of the likely excess and provided the opportunity to limit or simplify the work. AmaraPure will reasonably cooperate in limiting or simplifying. This also applies if the price depends on the estimated time for the work.
- If between the date of conclusion of the Agreement (or quotation) and its execution cost-increasing circumstances occur for AmaraPure due to law, regulations, price changes from suppliers or subcontractors, changes in prices of necessary semi-finished products, materials, components, currency fluctuations, import/export duties, shipping/delivery costs, wages, employer contributions, or social premiums, AmaraPure is entitled to increase the agreed price accordingly and charge the Buyer.
- The Buyer is obliged to pay the agreed advance within the stated period before AmaraPure begins execution of the Agreement. In any case, the Buyer must pay for materials in advance.
- If a dispute arises over the hours spent or invoiced, AmaraPure’s time records are binding unless the Buyer can convincingly prove otherwise.

- If a periodic payment obligation is agreed, AmaraPure may adjust the applicable prices and rates in writing with a 3-month notice.
- In the event of liquidation, bankruptcy, seizure, or suspension of payment of the Buyer, AmaraPure’s claims are immediately due.
- AmaraPure may allocate payments by the Buyer first to costs, then to outstanding interest, and finally to principal and ongoing interest. AmaraPure may refuse full principal repayment if the outstanding and ongoing interest and costs are not also paid.
- If the Buyer fails to meet its payment obligation within the specified 14-day period, a Business Buyer will be in default. A Consumer Buyer will first receive a written reminder with a 14-day term after the reminder to fulfill the obligation, including the out-of-court costs if the Consumer does not comply within the term.
- From the date of default, AmaraPure will claim statutory (commercial) interest from the first day of default until full payment and reimbursement of out-of-court costs in accordance with the law.
- If AmaraPure has incurred higher or additional costs reasonably necessary, these costs are to be reimbursed by the Buyer. Legal and enforcement costs incurred are also at the Buyer’s expense.
Article 16 – Retention of Title

Article 17 – Warranty
- AmaraPure guarantees that the Products comply with the Agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, usability and/or quality, and applicable legal regulations at the time of the Agreement. This does not apply if the products are intended for use abroad and the Buyer has explicitly informed the Seller in writing before the Agreement.
- Any warranty must be explicitly agreed in writing. Product warranties never extend beyond what is provided by the manufacturer or explicitly agreed. In case of conflict, the manufacturer’s warranty prevails. AmaraPure provides no warranty for sales and/or installation abroad. The warranty period depends on the Product and is the responsibility of the manufacturer/producer. AmaraPure is only responsible for the Product features that the Buyer could reasonably expect.
- The Buyer can only invoke the warranty provided by AmaraPure if all payment obligations have been fulfilled.
- If the Buyer validly invokes a warranty, AmaraPure is obliged to perform a free repair or replacement of the delivered product. For any additional damage, the general liability provisions apply. The warranty expires:

- as long as the Buyer is in default;
- if the Buyer has carried out repairs or installation work himself, or had them done by third parties;

- if the Buyer uses other Products than those prescribed by AmaraPure and/or the manufacturer.
Article 18 – Suspension and Termination

- AmaraPure is also entitled to terminate the Agreement without prior notice if circumstances occur that make fulfillment impossible or, according to standards of reasonableness and fairness, cannot reasonably be expected.
- If the Agreement is terminated, AmaraPure’s claims on the Buyer become immediately due. When suspending obligations, AmaraPure retains its legal and contractual rights.
- AmaraPure always retains the right to claim compensation.
Article 19 – Limitation of Liability
- If the execution of the Agreement by AmaraPure leads to liability towards the Buyer or third parties, such liability is limited to the costs charged in connection with the Agreement, unless the damage is due to intent or gross negligence.

- The Buyer is responsible for the accuracy, reliability, and completeness of all data, information, documents, and/or materials provided to AmaraPure in the context of an Agreement. This includes data from third parties. If AmaraPure is aware or reasonably should be aware of inaccuracies in the assignment, including errors or defects in plans, drawings, calculations, specifications, or execution instructions provided by the Buyer, AmaraPure is obliged to warn the Buyer.

- Force majeure includes, but is not limited to: (i) supplier defaults, (ii) suppliers’ failures prescribed or recommended by the Buyer, (iii) defects of third-party goods, equipment, or software, (iv) governmental measures, (v) power failures, (vi) internet, data network, or telecommunication failures (including cybercrime or hacking), (vii) natural disasters, (viii) war and terrorist attacks, (ix) general transport problems, and (x) other situations beyond AmaraPure’s control that prevent fulfillment of obligations temporarily or permanently.

Article 23 – Intellectual Property Rights
- All intellectual property rights and copyrights of AmaraPure remain exclusively with AmaraPure and are not transferred to the Buyer.
- The Buyer may not disclose, reproduce, modify, or provide to third parties any materials on which AmaraPure’s or the manufacturer/supplier’s intellectual property rights or copyrights rest, without prior written consent from AmaraPure.

- If AmaraPure is required under the Agreement to provide security of information, such security will meet the agreed specifications and a security level that, considering the state of technology, the sensitivity of the data, and associated costs, is not unreasonable.
