Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, these General Terms and Conditions shall apply to all Transaction(s) between customer (“Buyer”) and Wiseasy Technology Pte.

QUOTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS

An offer or quotation does not bind Seller and is only an invitation for Buyer to place an order.

Drawings or technical sheets shown or provided (if applicable) shall serve as indications only. Buyer shall approve the final drawings or specifications upon confirmation by Seller when accepting the order from Buyer.

The prices are based on the conditions which apply to Seller at the time at which that Agreement was entered into, such as amongst other things, currency exchange rates, import and export duties and other levies owed in connection with import or export, the costs of raw materials and semi-finished products. Should these conditions change after the Agreement has been entered into but before delivery has been effected and should Seller have been unable to foresee these changes, Seller reserves the right to change the price accordingly, stating the resulting additional costs.
