I. General
Only these conditions of sale, delivery and payment apply to all our deliveries and services to companies, corporate bodies under public law and public assets. All legal relationships, including future ones, between the ordering party (customer) and FPTG follow the latest version of these conditions of sale, delivery, and payment. We explicitly reject any deviating terms of business from the ordering party.
II. Quotations
Our quotations are non-binding and require written confirmation as with all agreements between the ordering party and FPTG. The documents that are part of the quotation such as illustrations, drawings, weight, and dimension specifications are only approximate unless they are specified as binding. FPTG retains the intellectual property rights and copyrights for quotations, drawings, and other documents; they must not be made accessible to third parties.
III. Order confirmation, delivery, and service item
The written order confirmation, if provided, from FPTG is decisive regarding the time, type and scope of delivery and service. Minor changes to the delivery and service item regarding its design, shape and configuration, as well as to the values specified in the description, are permitted if the intended use, quality and functions are not impaired by these.
IV. Prices and payment conditions

5. Interest at a rate of 9 percentage points above the base rate will be charged in the event of default. We retain the right to claim damages beyond this.
V. Delivery and service time
1. The dates and deadlines specified by FPTG are forecasts. Delivery times and dates are only considered binding if they have been explicitly confirmed by FPTG as finite delivery time and date. Adherence to the delivery time and date by FPTG requires the strict compliance of all commercial and technical terms specified between both parties. Which includes supplying of all design input, Installation and operational details by ordering party and not limit to the full compliance and fulfilment of all of the obligations specified such as payment of the purchase price. If this is not the case, the delivery time is extended accordingly and FPTG is not liable for the delay or losses incurred if any.
2. The delivery and service deadline (delivery deadline) starts with receipt of the order confirmation and is adhered to if the delivery and service item has left the FPTG factory or readiness for shipping has been reported by the deadline. If contractual or legal reasons require that acceptance be performed, unless there is justified acceptance rejection, the acceptance date is decisive or, alternatively, the declaration of readiness for acceptance.
3. The delivery deadline extends accordingly in the event of measures regarding industrial disputes, particularly strikes and lockouts, as well as if unforeseeable hindrances that are outside of FPTG’s control occur if these hindrances have a demonstrable significant impact on production or delivery of the delivery and service item. This also applies if the circumstances occur with a sub-supplier or third parties. In significant cases, FPTG will inform the ordering party of the revised start and end of these hindrances as soon as possible.
4. If shipping or acceptance of the delivery and service item are delayed for reasons for which the ordering party is responsible, they will be invoiced for the costs incurred by the delay starting one month after readiness for shipping or acceptance is declared; however, if the Food Process Technology Limited Suite 1113A, 11/F, Ocean Centre, Harbor City, 5 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong Tel: +66 (0) 27537794-6, Fax: +66 (0) 27537791
Bank name: HSBC Hong Kong, Bank code: 004, Saving account no. 801-279324-838 Swift code: HSBCHKHHHKH
item is stored in the FPTG factory, this will be at least 5 % of the invoice amount per month. The ordering party is entitled to prove that damages did not occur due to the delay or that they are significantly lower than the flat rate.
5. Adherence to the delivery deadline requires that the ordering party complies with their contractual obligations.
6. The delivery deadline extends accordingly if FPTG itself is not supplied in good time by a sub-supplier.
7. If the ordering party does not accept the goods without justification, FPTG is entitled to withdraw from the contact and to claim for damages in accordance with the legal requirements.
VI. Transfer of risk, acceptance, transport
1. The risk is transferred from FPTG to the ordering party at the latest when the delivery and service item is provided at the operating premises, and even if partial service are provided or FPTG has undertaken to provide other services such as shipping costs or delivery and set up.
If acceptance must be performed, this is decisive for the transfer of risk. It must be performed without delay on the acceptance date or, alternatively, after receiving notification of readiness for acceptance from FPTG. The ordering party may not reject acceptance if there is any insignificant fault. Upon request from the ordering party, the delivery will be insured by FPTG against theft, breakage, transport damage, fire damage and water damage, and any other insurable risks at the ordering party’s expense.
2. If shipping is delayed due to circumstances outside FPTG’s control, the risk is transferred to the ordering party from the date on which it is ready for shipping; however, FPTG is obliged to take out the insurance that the ordering party requests at the ordering party’s expense.

VII. Retention of title
1. FPTG retains title to the delivery and service item until all FPTG claims against the ordering party arising from the business relationship have been fulfilled. Conduct by the ordering party, which is contrary to the contract, particularly default, entitles FPTG to withdraw from the contract after setting a deadline, to revoke the delivery and service item and to oblige the ordering party to surrender it. When FPTG withdraws and seizes the item, FPTG will only withdraw from the contract if it declares so in writing.
2. The ordering party will always perform processing or remodelling on retained items for FPTG. If the retained item is processed or inseparably mixed with other items that do not belong to FPTG, FPTG acquires joint ownership of the new item in the ratio of the value of the retained item to the other processed or mixed items at the time of processing or mixing. If FPTG goods were connected or mixed inseparably to other moving items to form a homogeneous item and the other item is to be considered the main item, it is considered agreed that the ordering party transfers joint ownership proportionally to FPTG as long as the other item belongs to them. The ordering party grants ownership or partial ownership to FPTG. Furthermore, the same applies to the item created by processing, remodelling, connecting or mixing as for the retained item.
3. FPTG is entitled to insure the delivery and service item against theft, breakage, fire damage, water damage and other damage at the ordering party’s cost unless the ordering party has taken out the insurance and can prove this.
4. Resale of the supplied goods, regardless of whether they are unprocessed, processed, connected, or mixed is only permitted to resellers in the normal course of business with retention of title and only if the receivables from the reselling are transferred to FPTG. The ordering party is prohibited from pawning or transferring by way of security, as well as agreeing upon a prohibition of assignment. If third parties’ access FPTG’s rights, the ordering party must inform FPTG without delay.
5. The ordering party will surrender all receivables due now or later from the resale or from any other legal ground regarding the goods supplied to the value of the retained item (invoiced amount) to FPTG. FPTG will hereby accept the surrender.

7. FPTG is obliged to release the securities to which they are entitled as soon as the value exceeds the receivables to be secured by 20 % if they have not yet been paid.
VIII. Warranty / liability for defects
The FPTG PRODUCTS exclusively meet CE standards, of which the ordering party is sufficiently aware. Liability for meeting foreign standards such as UL standards is explicitly rejected. The ordering party and particularly a reseller is obliged to adapt all FPTG products to the current legal and technical specifications of the corresponding country, which may differ, and to ensure a proper version in accordance with the current standards in this country. The ordering party and particularly a reseller is therefore obliged to clarify for themselves whether the machine can be adapted to the current legal and technical specifications of the corresponding country.
With the exception of further claims, subject to Section IX, FPTG provides a warranty for material and title defects to the delivery or service, which were complained about properly and in good time, as follows:
1. All deliveries or services that prove to be faulty as the result of circumstances that occurred prior to the transfer of risk must be reworked or replaced by non-faulty items at FPTG’s discretion and free of charge. Detection of these faults must be reported to FPTG in wiring and without delay. Replaced parts become FPTG’s property.
2. In order to undertake all rework and replacement deliveries that FPTG deems necessary, the ordering party must provide FPTG with the required time and opportunity in agreement with FPTG; otherwise, FPTG is freed from liability for the consequences resulting from this. The ordering party only has the right to rectify the fault themselves or have it rectified by a third party and to claim the required expenses back from FPTG in urgent cases of hazards for operational safety or to avoid disproportionately large damage, of which FPTG is to be informed immediately.
3. Of the immediate costs resulting from the rework or replacement deliveries performed by FPTG, insofar as the complaint is proven to be justified, FPTG will bear the costs of the replacement delivery including shipping costs.

If the delivery and service item infringe domestic industrial property rights or copyrights, FPTG will, at their own cost, procure the right for the ordering party to continue to use the delivery and service item or modify it for the ordering party in any way feasible in order to ensure that the property rights are no longer violated. If this is not possible due to reasonable economic conditions or within a reasonable time, the ordering party is entitled to withdraw from the contract. FPTG also has the right to withdraw from the contract under the aforementioned preconditions. Furthermore, FPTG will release the ordering party from claims from the applicable property right holder that are undisputed or have been determined to be legally binding.
