Determination of a different due date for issue of the goods than the date suggested by the Client in the order contemplated in the sentence above shall not be treated by the Parties as a delay in the performance of the service and shall not give right to withdraw from the contract or treat the sale of the goods as not carried out.

If goods are delivered directly to the Recipient nominated by the Client, FOL-PLAST shall not accept any liability for irregularities in receipt of the goods.

  4. The due date shall be prolonged by the duration of an obstacle existing as a result of circumstances beyond the control of the Parties, i.e. e.g. a late delivery by the suppliers of FOL-PLAST, force majeure, unexpected disturbance in the operation of FOL-PLAST, e.g. power cut, transport and customs delays, transport damage, including road blockades, time limitations in the traffic of lorries, deficits of electric energy, deficits of materials and raw materials etc. Failure to meet the due date for delivery by FOL-PLAST for the above-mentioned reasons results in the Client’s not having any claims for repair of damage resulting from failure to execute an order or from undue performance of an order.
  5. Before the receipt of the Goods, the client shall inspect the condition of the goods by checking its quantities and the condition of its packaging. The Client shall report any transport damage upon receipt of the goods, place them in the Damage Report in the presence of a representative of the carrier and subsequently send the Report to FOL-PLAST by e-mail. That document will be the basis for handling a complaint.

The confirmation of receipt of the Goods without reservations made by the Client upon issue shall be equivalent to confirmation of compliance of the goods and absence of any damage or destruction.

FOL-PLAST shall be liable for implied warranty on the terms specified in these GTCS. Any further liability for implied warranty shall be excluded.

The Client undertakes to store and transport goods in a manner compliant with the requirements specified in Clause 7(12) of these GTCS and the general terms specified in the provisions of the Plastic Product Law. Breach of any of those terms shall be basis for refusal to grant complaints and claims of the Client.
  5. A complaint together with the defective goods or its sample being the originally purchased goods, shall be sent to FOL-PLAST upon obtaining of their approval for shipment of such a sample. In absence of provision of defective wrap or its sample or failure to answer questions regarding a complaint asked by FOL-PLAST as part of the complaint procedure – the complaint shall be denied.

  1. The Client shall be notified of the result of the complaint procedure in writing within 14 day from the day FOL-PLAST receives the complaint. If the complaint is granted, FOL-PLAST shall agree with the Client on the manner of handling the complaint (e.g. by way of quantitative adjustment, a discount etc.).
  2. The Client can return the goods they complained about as a result of the complaint being granted solely by consent of FOL-PLAST. In such a case, FOL-PLAST shall reimburse the Client for justified costs of transport incurred and documented by them, yet in an amount not exceeding the costs of transport incurred during delivery to the Client. If the goods to be returned is collected from the Client by FOL-PLAST, the collection shall be carried out from the place where it was delivered to the Client during the sale unless the Parties agree on another address of their receipt, and in the quantity agreed with FOL-PLAST.

§ 5 Liability

  1. FOL-PLAST shall not accept any liability to the Client for any additional running costs incurred by them directly if the goods have a defect reducing its value or if lacks properties which FOL-PLAST guaranteed to the Client, or if the goods are issued to the Client incomplete. FOL-PLAST shall not be liable for any defects of the goods occasioned after the transfer of the goods-related risk onto the Client, including for any defects caused by improper storage of the goods by the Client, unless the defects were caused by a factor present in the goods beforehand.
  2. Any liability for damages of FOL-PLAST towards the Client for damage resulting from sale of defective goods shall be limited to the actual loss sustained by the Client (in particular, it shall not cover the Client’s lost opportunities), its upper cap shall be the value of the purchased goods and it shall be based solely on the principle of wilful misconduct. Otherwise the liability shall be excluded unless this does not stand in opposition with the mandatory provisions of law. In such a scope, FOL-PLAST shall be liable for the actions or inactions of the persons whom they engaged in execution of an order of the Client.
  3. The goods can be returned only due to defects of the goods preventing their due use, where the properties of the goods do not comply with the parameters declared by FOL-PLAST.
  4. FOL-PLAST shall not provide any other considerations for qualitative or quantitative defects of the Products other than those specified in these GTCS or arising from mandatory provisions of law. The Client’s rights specified in these GTCS shall expire if they fail to notify FOL-PLAST of a defect or inconsistency of the goods within the time limits agreed by the Parties above, not later, however, than within 3 months from the issue of the goods.
  5. Promotional, sub-standard or second-rate goods, and price-reduced as a result, shall not be subject to complaints. Products subject to processing or customisation shall not be subject to complaint.
  6. If a complaint is submitted unreasonably, the Client shall collect the goods complained about at its own expense within the time limit specified by the Supplier and shall cover reasonable costs incurred by FOL-PLAST as a result of the complaints procedure.
  7. The Client shall apply any and all measures minimising any damage arising from the use of defective goods. Should such measures not be taken in the scope of damage which could be decreased if the Client applied them – FOL-PLAST shall not accept any liability.
    • The Client shall store and warehouse the purchased Products under proper conditions, i.e.:
    • the wraps are to be stored in places not exposed to direct contact with weather conditions such as or rain and where the temperature does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius or drop below 10 degrees Celsius. The wrap shall be stored at the distance of at least 1.5 metres from live heating devices, strong oxidants, reducers and chemicals. Observance of the above allows proper processing of the

 

wrap and maintenance of all its properties

    • when temperatures outside are high – above 25 degrees Celsius – or very low – below 5 degrees Celsius – for maintenance of the expected parameters of the wrap, conditions of storage and warehousing provided above must be followed, as well as the principle stating that after the process of transport, it is required to subject to wrap to the so-called “seasoning”, consisting in placement of the wrap for around 3 to 5 days in a dry warehouse at the temperature below 25 degrees Celsius and above 10 degrees Celsius in order to prevent any problems with its use. In a period where temperatures outside are lower (autumn and winter), the level of viscosity is increased slightly to facilitate use of the products. In spring and summer, the viscosity of the wrap is adapted to high temperatures outside, which is to prevent wrap sticking to itself. If the Product is stored at a temperature different from the temperature of use – the Product shall be seasoned for at least 12 hours before use under use conditions.
    • Originally packed wrap can be stacked – up to 2 pallets, with due diligence. The pallets must be divided with a cardboard divider to avoid wrap destruction. Damage to the upper layer of wrap caused by improper security of the wrap during stacking shall mean failure of the Client to meet the terms of storage and warehouse of the wrap, not constitute basis for the Supplier’s liability for damage and not justify a complaint.
    • It is recommended to use the stretch wrap within 6 months from the delivery date provided the manufacturer’s recommendations are met as to the warehousing, storage and use of the wrap. After 3 months, the wrap may lose some of its viscosity, which is a natural process occurring in the wraps in question. Decrease in viscosity over time will not affect other qualitative and durability-related parameters of the goods. Similarly – it is recommended to use other wraps offered by FOL-PLAST within 3 months from the date of delivery to the Client. If they are used later, the Client must be aware of the possibility of changes of the specified parameters of the wrap caused by relaxation of its tension when unrolling it.
