The price is without VAT and is based on the terms of delivery with payment of duty to the agreed place of delivery. Payment of the Price must be made within the date specified in the invoice, unless otherwise specified in the text, and provided that the invoice and all relevant documents, such as weighing and testing certificates, have been received and approved by the Customer. The Customer has the right to suspend payment of the Price until he approves the Execution in accordance with the provisions specified in Article 6 of these Conditions. Payment of the Price releases the Customer from all his obligations to the Supplier in respect of Performance. Payment of the Price is not a confirmation by the Customer that the Work has been done properly. The Customer has the right to offset the Price with any funds due to the Supplier to the Customer. The supplier has no right to set-off.

5. Delivery

The Agreement is subject to the Incoterms 2010 of the International Chamber of Commerce, Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) to the place of delivery referred to in the Confirmation of Order. Delivery is carried out in accordance with the Order Confirmation, except in cases of force majeure. If either Party finds itself in a force majeure situation, it must notify the other Party as soon as possible. If the Supplier does not fulfill its obligations under the Agreement or does not do it properly, it is obliged to reimburse the Customer for all direct and indirect damages incurred as a result, including all (additional) legal costs, except in the case of force majeure. The Supplier is obliged to manage the transportation of the goods to be delivered with the help of the required (transport) documents that confirm at least the following:
  • the identity of the Supplier;
  • the weight of the goods delivered;

  • the place of destination.
The Supplier is obliged to send the above-mentioned documents and documents related to transit, cross-border transport and the environment to the Customer in a timely manner, in accordance with the relevant regulations. As for the agreed quantities, a deviation of +/- 2% from the declared amount of non-iron scrap is allowed if "approximately" is indicated before it. The calculation of the Price is based on the net weight of the delivery set by the Customer and specified in the weighing document. Since this net weight was set by the Customer and is less than the net weight specified in the transport documents, the Customer, in case of a difference of less than 0.2% for the supply of non-iron scrap, must be credited by the Supplier, basing on the information contained in the Customer's weighing document. If the difference is greater than the above, the Supplier, after an immediate protest, has the right to organize the weighing of the delivery by an independent third party, after which the Price is calculated in accordance with this weight. If this net weight was set by the Customer and exceeds for more than 5 % from the net weight specified in the transport documents, the Customer has the right to act as follows with respect to the delivery process:
  • accept it at a price to be calculated under the terms of the Agreement;
  • accept it at the related, current LME price;
