In such a case, there is no reason to take any sanction steps unless the Purchase Contract explicitly stipulates otherwise. However, each party is entitled to withdraw from the contract if the delay exceeds three months, and such withdrawal shall not result in any sanctions or obligations of the other party, unless otherwise agreed. Previous delivery delays do not undermine the Buyer’s obligation to accept further deliveries of the Goods.

5.5. Confirmation of delivery The Buyer must provide the Seller with a written confirmation of the delivery of the Goods by signing the Delivery Note; otherwise the Seller is not obliged to hand over the Goods to the Buyer. 

5.6. Acceptance of Goods transported by the Seller If the Purchase Agreement stipulates that the transport of the Goods to the place of delivery is to be arranged by the Seller, the Buyer shall ensure that a person is present at the place of delivery on the delivery date (the Seller may determine the exact time in advance by communicating it to the Buyer by telephone), such a person being authorized by the Buyer to take over the Goods and ensure that the Goods are unloaded from the vehicle immediately after its arrival; otherwise, the Buyer is liable towards the Seller for any damage that the Seller may incur thereby (especially for the cost of waiting incurred by the carrier, lost profits, damages and penalties claimed from the Seller by third parties for the delay of other deliveries effected within one transport, etc.). 

Unless the Buyer informs the Seller in writing of the identity of the person entitled to take over the Goods from the Seller at the place of delivery at least 1 day prior to the delivery of the Goods, the person in the place of delivery may take over the Goods on behalf of the Buyer, inspect the Goods and notify the Seller of any defects.

If the Buyer fails to arrive at the place of delivery even within one hour after the time of arrival of the vehicle carrying the Goods to the place of delivery communicated by the Seller to the Buyer, the Seller may withdraw the vehicle and demand that the Buyer pay the cost of the unrealised transport and the associated costs. If the Seller withdraws the vehicle because of the Buyer’s delay in taking over the Goods and the parties do not agree a substitute delivery date, the Seller discharges his obligation to deliver the Goods by allowing the Buyer to dispose of the Goods at the registered office of the Seller, notifying the Buyer thereof. 

5.8. Arrangements for the unloading of the Goods Unloading of the Goods from the vehicle is arranged and performed by the Buyer at his own expense and risk. The Buyer is liable for any damage or losses incurred during unloading, storing and handling of goods at the place of delivery.

The Buyer must inspect the Goods at the place of delivery before they are unloaded from the vehicle (where transport of the Goods is arranged by the Seller) or before they are loaded to the vehicle at the place of delivery (where the transport of the Goods is arranged by the Buyer). If, for any reason, the Buyer is unable to carry out a detailed inspection of the Goods upon takeover, he shall indicate so on the Delivery Note and undertakes to store the Goods so as to ensure maximum protection against damage, loss and destruction, particularly from the effects of weather (e.g. rain, high humidity) and third-party access. If the Goods are packed, the Buyer must take the necessary measures to prevent humidity condensation in the packaging. In this case, the Buyer must inspect the Goods without undue delay after the removal of the obstacle that prevented him from performing the inspection upon the takeover of the Goods. If the Buyer breaches his duty to store the Goods under this paragraph, and if, subsequently, the Goods are returned to the Seller due to the Seller’s liability for defective Goods, the Seller may claim that the Buyer pay damages for the defective Goods up to 70% of the price of the returned Goods (the exact amount to be determined by the Seller at his discretion, usually depending on the extent of the damage to the Goods). The Seller may set off such an amount of damages against his obligation to return the purchase price of the returned Goods to the Buyer.

The Seller is also not liable for damage to products manufactured by the Buyer or a third party or to products containing the Goods sold by the Seller. The Seller shall not be liable for any consequential or indirect damages, including, but not limited to, loss of profit or earnings.

Unless otherwise agreed in the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price excludes the transport of the Goods to the place of delivery and the packaging of the Goods for transport (if the Seller is obliged to pack the Goods under the Purchase Agreement). The Seller may add VAT to the purchase price pursuant to applicable law, unless the Purchase Agreement expressly stipulates that the agreed purchase price already includes VAT.

The invoice must contain all statutory requirements; otherwise the Buyer may return the invoice without making the payment. In this case, a new period commences from the date of the delivery of the corrected invoice. The day of payment is the date the amount is credited to the account of the Seller or the date the Seller receives the payment in cash. The Buyer is not entitled to set off claims against the Seller that have not been acknowledged in writing and are not entitled to withhold any payment due to mutual claims.

8.5. VAT The Seller agrees that on all invoices he will specify his bank account in the Czech Republic published in the “Register of VAT payers and identified persons”. If, on the date of taxable supply, any of the conditions has been met for the creation of the Buyer’s liability for unpaid VAT as referred to in Act no. 235/2004 Sb., on value added tax, as amended (the “VAT Act”) or, on the date of the taxable supply, the Buyer will have reasonable suspicion that such a condition has been met, the Buyer may pay the amount of VAT to the competent tax authority instead of the Seller.
