If there is no schedule of prices applicable to this Contract, the price will be agreed upon for each order. An order shall not be effective unless it is confirmed in writing by Prosemi.

  2. Advance payments may be requested by Prosemi, and partial invoices covering the goods or services already rendered may be issued without being specifically mentioned as such. Prosemi may refuse or delay any shipment of goods or service if the Client fails to pay promptly any payments due to Prosemi, whether pursuant to this Contract or any other contract between Prosemi and the Client. Prosemi may deliver goods or services covered by this Contract at one time or in portions, from time to time, and use reasonable efforts to deliver within the time for delivery provided in the order but it shall not be liable for any delay in delivery, nor will any delay in delivery entitle the Client to terminate or suspend this Contract. It is important to note that the issuance of an invoice does not necessarily mean that the entire order has been billed by Prosemi.

  3. Prosemi will communicate the credit terms to the Client prior to rendering the goods or services. A Client who is not given any credit terms must pay in advance. A Client who is given credit terms by Prosemi must make payments within the specified time as indicated in the invoice for the goods or services rendered. The Client shall pay to Prosemi, on demand, a late payment charge of 1.5% per month of the unpaid balance or the maximum rate of interest allowed by law, whichever is less.

  4. Unless expressly provided otherwise on the front of this Contract, the Client shall pay all freight, handling, delivery, and insurance costs for the shipment of goods. The Client agrees to indemnify and pay Prosemi for all taxes, levies, and duties, including but not limited to goods and services tax or withholding tax, for which Prosemi may be held liable as a result of providing the goods or services to the Client under this Contract.

  5. Any objections to invoices must be communicated in writing to Prosemi within 7 days of receipt of the invoice, along with a statement of reasons.

  6. Prosemi must be notified in writing by the Client of its decision to cancel the order for goods or services within three working days after the order is confirmed. The Client will be responsible for paying for all goods or services rendered prior to the cancellation.

The Client must inform Prosemi in writing in advance of any known hazards or potential dangers associated with an order, samples, products, or testing. Examples include but are not limited to the presence or risk of radiation, toxic or harmful materials, explosives, environmental pollution, or poisons. The Client warrants to Prosemi that it has procured all necessary licences, permits, consents, registrations, and authorizations for the Client to possess such hazardous or dangerous samples or products and for Prosemi to receive, handle, use, store and dispose the same for the purposes of this Contract.

  9. Samples or products will be retained by Prosemi for a maximum of one month, or for a shorter time if necessary due to the sample's nature. Samples or products will either be returned to the Client or disposed of at Prosemi’s discretion. If samples or products are requested to be stored with Prosemi for more than one month, the Client will be charged a storage fee. Additionally, in any event, the Client will be billed for handling, freight, delivery, and insurance costs if the samples or products are returned to the Client, or disposal charges if the samples or products are disposed of. The Client hereby grants Prosemi absolute discretion to handle, use, store and dispose the samples or products as Prosemi deems fit for the purposes of providing the goods and services under this Contract.

  10. Prosemi shall not be liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform under this Contract due to events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control (including without limitation, customs examination, loss, or delay by common carrier, acts of God, quarantine restrictions, industrial disturbances, accident of human or machinery or equipment), or due to the Client’s failure to fulfil any of its obligations under this Contract. In such event, Prosemi has the option to either extend the performance period in line with the delay or terminate this Contract at its sole discretion. In the event of any delay, the contractual date of delivery shall, if elected by Prosemi, be extended for a period equal to the time lost because of the delay without penalty to Prosemi. In the event of any termination of this Contract, any unpaid amounts owed by the Client to Prosemi for goods or services delivered by Prosemi up to the date of such termination shall immediately become due and payable. Termination of this Contract shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of the parties, or any provision herein which is expressly or by implication intended to continue after such termination.
