The Customer is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by him/her. The prices are based on the rates, salaries, taxes, duties, charges, freight charges, etc. valid during theoffer, quotation or estimate.

3. TRANSFER OF TITLE

A delivery date agreed upon is never a strict deadline.

In the event of a late delivery, the Customer must give Track written notice of default, whereby the Customer is to allow a reasonable term of 30 days for the delivery after the notice of default.
The commercial communications by Track, such as brochures, advertisements, letters and emails, have been prepared to the best of Track's knowledge, but are only mere estimates and approximations of the reality. Only major deviations that will have an extremely adverse effect on the operation of the delivered goods will entitle the Customer toterminate the agreement, in which case neither of the Parties is entitled to damages.
Track is entitled to refuse orders from Customer or not deliver, if (i) acceptance and/or implementation thereof is contrary to the existing or new legislation or regulations, (II) the Customer acts in breach of his obligations to Track under any agreement or these General Terms and Conditions, and/or (iii) the Customer acts unlawfully toward Track.

The Customer explicitly agrees not to export the purchased goods either directly or indirectly.

Track will also be entitled to recover any damage to its trade and image from the Customer.
In case of onward delivery to non-end-users, the Customer indemnifies Track for all claims by these non-end-users, for whatever reason, subject to the warranty obligation included in the User Agreement that Track has provided to the Customer and may have supplied with the goods/services to be delivered.

5. RETENTION OF TITLE AND LIEN

All goods supplied by Track shall remain its property until the Customer has complied with all the obligations in each of the agreements concluded with Track (of whatever kind).

Goods subject to retention of title supplied by Track may only be resold in the framework of the Customer's normal business operations. The Customer is not entitled to pledge the goods or to establish any other real right in them.
Regarding the rights to any claim on third parties resulting from the sale of goods subject to retention of title supplied by Track that arise or will arise, the Customer undertakes to assign these to Track on demand, or, at Track's discretion, to pledge these.
If the Customer fails to fulfil his/her obligations, Track is entitled to remove the goods delivered subject to retention of title from the Customer or the third parties that have the goods in their possession on the Customer's behalf. The Customer is obliged to cooperate in this, on penalty of a fine of 10% of the amount due by the Customer to Track for each day or part of a day that the Customer is in default.
If any third party wishes to create or assert any right to the goods delivered under retention of title, the buyer is obliged to inform Track immediately.
The Customer is required to insure the goods delivered subject to retention of title and to keep them insured against fire, explosion and water damage, as well as against theft, and to submit the insurance policy for inspection.

All software and computer software associated with the supplied goods will remain the property of Track at all times. In case of a contract of sale between Track and the Customer, the Customer only ever purchases the media or hardware, but never the software and/or computer software that might be on these media or hardware.

a. the reasonable costs that the Customer would need to incur to have Track's performance comply with the agreement. This damage, however, is not reimbursable if the Customer has terminated the agreement;
b. the costs that the Customer has incurred in keeping the existing system/systems and related services operational longer because Track did not deliver on its binding delivery date, less any savings as a result of the delayed delivery;
c. reasonable costs made to determine the cause and extent of the damage, as long as this determination regards the direct damage within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions;
d. reasonable costs made to prevent or limit damage, insofar as the Customer demonstrates that these costs have led to a reduction of direct damage referred to in these General Terms and Conditions.
Track's total liability for damage caused by death or bodily harm will in no case exceed 400,000 Euros (in words:four hundred thousand Euros) per occurrence, in which a series of related events will count as one occurrence.
The notice of Track’s liability is to be made immediately and properly in writing, within at most 5 days after the discovery of the alleged basis of the liability. The notice of default must include an as detailed as possible description of the alleged failure, to allow Track to react adequately.
Track accepts no liability for any damage of the Customer as a consequence of or related to the misuse or improper use by the Customer or by a third party of the software and other goods and/or means of communication and/or other facilities delivered by Track, as a result of which acts (including the conclusion of agreements) are performed that Track has not ordered or has ordered otherwise.
Track is not liable for damage as a result of the revoked and/or cancelled acts (including the conclusion of agreements) and the failure of these to be carried out by Track and/or third parties, unless this is the result of intentional acts and/or gross negligence on the part of Track.
The Customer states to be aware that Track neither wants to nor shall promote infringements of the laws and regulations, whether implicitly or explicitly. The Customer expressly agrees that it is his/her/its responsibility, and if he/she/it acts in the capacity of reseller, of his/her/its customers, to know and to keep abreast of all applicable laws and regulations at all times, and that it is entirely and solely his/her/its responsibility, and if he/she/it acts in the capacity of reseller, of his/her/its customers, to abide by these laws and regulations. The Customer will in no case hold Track/have Track held liable or responsible for the unauthorized, unlawful and/or illegal use of the delivered goods or for any other infringement of the applicable laws and regulations by the Customer.
In no case will Track reimburse any installation and removal costs of the supplied goods, neither to the Customer or to the person or company that bought or received the goods from the Customer, even if the installation and/or removal is the result of material damage and/or a manufacturing defect covered by the guarantee. The Customer is required to test the delivered goods/have the delivered goods tested for their proper operation before installing them or having them installed.
