1. ORDER 

1.1. An order for the purchase of Spare Parts (an ‘Order’) will be concluded when an offer made by Lynk & Co is accepted by You in writing. When You place an Order, You are entering into a legally binding agreement (the ‘Agreement’) according to these General Terms. In representing a company or other legal entity, You accept these General Terms on behalf of that legal entity and warrant that You have the authority to do so on that legal entity’s behalf.

2. PRICE AND PAYMENT

2.1. Upon placing an Order, the prices shown in the offer from Lynk & Co apply. Lynk & Co reserves the right to amend prices with immediate effect and without advance notice.

2.2. The price for Your Order must be paid not later than seven (7) calendar days from the date of issue of the Lynk & Co invoice.

3. DELIVERY 

3.1. Delivery of the Spare Part(s) shall be made to the delivery location specified in the Order (the ‘Delivery Location’) and at the delivery cost stated in the Order (‘Delivery’). Delivery will be at Lynk & Co’s risk until Your receipt of the Spare Part(s) at the Delivery Location, or, in the event that You fail to take receipt of the Order upon Delivery, until such point in time that Your receipt of the Order should have taken place, at which point the risk for the Spare Part(s) will pass to You. Delivery of the Spare Part(s) shall not be made until payment according to the Lynk & Co issued invoice is made by You.

3.2. Following payment of the Lynk & Co issued invoice, Delivery will be made within two (2) to three (3) Working Days. In some cases, Lynk & Co may Deliver Your Order in more than one (1) shipment. Should this be the case for Your Order, Lynk & Co will let You know.

3.4. Where Lynk & Co fail to Deliver the Order in due time, the only remedy You shall be entitled to avail of will be fulfilment of the Agreement and thereby Delivery of the Order. Upon Delivery of the Order, this right will expire. 

4. FORCE MAJEURE

4.1. Lynk & Co shall be relieved from liability for a failure to perform its obligations under these General Terms during such period, and to the extent, due performance thereof by Lynk & Co is prevented by reason of any circumstance beyond the control of Lynk & Co, which could not reasonably have been foreseen prior to entering into an Agreement under these General Terms and is beyond the Lynk & Co’s reasonable control which – without limiting any of the foregoing - shall include, acts of God, war, civil war, riot, acts of government, fire, flood, interruption in public transport, health pandemic or health epidemic as declared by the World Health Organisation (‘WHO’), communications or general energy supply, or other circumstances of similar importance.

5. LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS 

5.1. The characteristics and quality of the Spare Part(s) shall be according to what Lynk & Co has held them out to be.

In the event that Your Order contains more than one (1) Spare Part(s) and Delivery of the Spare Part(s) is made in more than one (1) shipment, the Notification Period will begin from the date of Delivery of the Spare Part(s) being notified of. The notice of defect must contain a description of the defect. Untimely notice of the defect by You shall result in forfeiture of the right to complain of the defect.

5.4. You shall compensate Lynk & Co for any and all labour and costs incurred where notice of a defect in Spare Part(s) given by You is subsequently proven incorrect in that there was no defect for which Lynk & Co was liable.

6. RECTIFICATION OF DEFECT 

Lynk & Co shall have the right and the obligation to rectify any defects and shall be entitled to determine, at its sole discretion, whether rectification will be made through repair or through replacement of the Spare Part(s) (redelivery) which shall be the only remedies available to You. Lynk & Co will rectify the defect promptly and shall bear the costs of rectification, troubleshooting and where applicable transport. You will be responsible to support the return of the Spare Part(s) to Lynk & Co along with any Lynk & Co requested documentation.

You shall be responsible for labour and costs incurred as a result of the rectification resulting in modification to objects other than the Spare Part(s).

7. WARRANTY 

Certain Lynk & Co Spare parts come with a Spare Parts warranty (‘Warranty’), the details and conditions of which can be found in the Warranty certificate. In the event that a defect is covered by the Warranty, the terms and conditions of the Warranty certificate, not these General Terms, shall apply. 

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

14. NO WAIVER

The failure of a Party to insist on adherence to any term of these General Terms shall not be considered a waiver of any right, nor shall it deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist on the adherence to that term or any other terms of these General Terms.

15. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these General Terms should be deemed invalid, unlawful, void or for any reason, unenforceable, the validity or the use of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
