(A) The following standard contract terms shall apply to all deliveries and offers by COMINO HOLDING LTD. (together with its affiliates, "Comino" or "we"). Any counter-communications or confirmations of a customer with reference to its own standard or sales terms and conditions are hereby objected to and shall not apply to any purchase contract which is subject to these standard contract terms.
(B) Consumer in terms of these standard contract terms is individual acting for purposes that are wholly or mainly outside that individual’s trade, business, craft or profession.

The order by a customer is an offer to enter into a purchase contract subject to these standard contract terms. The confirmation by us of the receipt of the order and any following status reports shall be no acceptance of the offer. The purchase contract is concluded with either the payment by the customer for the good or, if applicable, delivery of the goods and a confirmation of dispatch.
(A) Generally, our prices are set out in our product basket on our website at the time of the respective order. Prices that deviate from this, which may be seen on websites of our partners and counterparties, including those which may be downloaded through our website, may not be current and are thus invalid. In the absence of any express agreement in writing to the contrary, our prices shall be effective from the respective distribution center, excluding any packaging, freight or possible cash on delivery charges. All prices on our websites are shown exclusive of statutory VAT, which may be calculated and added to a respective price upon our acceptance of the customer's order (and which will be displayed on the respective invoice or payment link) depending on the customer's status as a natural person, a company, a merchant or a public utility or on the jurisdiction of the country of delivery.

The mode of shipment shall be chosen by the customer or, in the absence thereof, by us according to the most feasible arrangement. An overview of the applicable shipment and payment options as well as the relevant prices shall be published on our websites.
(D) In the event of partial shipments or shipment of specific lots, any follow-up or additional shipments shall also be made subject to the applicable shipping charges to be borne by the customer.
The estimated delivery periods are dependent on the products and we do not undertake to display the delivery periods on our website. In the event that a delay of the estimated delivery occurs after an order has been made, we may, in our discretion, inform the Customer to that effect by e-mail or by other adequate means of communication by using his contact details provided at the time of the order. Any cancellation or modification by a customer of the delivery period or method requires our prior approval.
(A) If the customer picks up the goods from our distribution center, then the risk of accidental loss or damage to the goods shall pass from Comino to the customer at the time when the goods are transferred to the customer. Where Comino ships the goods to the customer that risk shall pass to that customer when the goods are handed over to the carrier. Comino shall not be responsible for non-performance by the carrier during shipment of the goods to the customer. We advise the customer to purchase adequate insurance against the risk of loss or damage of the goods during shipment. Comino shall select only reputable carriers to effect delivery of the goods to the customer. We may agree, in our discretion, to the use of a carrier selected by the customer and notified to us in writing.
(B) The warranty period shall begin at the time when the goods are delivered. Subject to any applicable overriding statutory warranty provisions, the periods of limitation for statutory claims for defects shall be two years. Any obvious defects in the products or the performance rendered by Comino must be notified by the customer in writing immediately, but not later than the expiry of fourteen days after receipt of the goods. If such defects are not notified in time, the goods are deemed to have been approved and accepted, with all inherent warranty rights expiring.

· If the product breaks down after the warranty period expiration, Comino will generate a quotation of the repair fee.
· The faulty product returned to us will be dismantled and diagnosed for its specific fault.
· The repair fee of the defective product may equal to the total price of a single unit or the current market price of the part. Each repair fee will be calculated according to the specifications of its case.
· Comino will complete the maintenance and/or repair of the faulty product in the process of dismantling and diagnosing the product; you agree to the terms of this Out of warranty repair, which means that you understand that we cannot suspend repair process, and you will agree to the repair fee stated in the quotation.
· Comino will not return the faulty product to you if you decide not to pay the repair fee.
· Comino strives to serve the customers fairly and diligently, and quote the repair fee as reasonably and accurately as possible. You shall pay the repair fee within 30 days upon receiving quotation of the repair fee, and Comino will ship the repaired or replaced product after receiving the full required fee.

(B) Irrespective of their legal basis claims for damages which are directed either against us or our agents shall be limited to the amount which Comino reasonably expected to receive at the conclusion of the respective purchase contract.

The customer shall be responsible for the safe storage of its data.
