These terms apply whether the contract between B-Sport A/S and the customer is made by telephone, by e-mail, the website of B-Sport A/S or in any other manner.
1.2. Any indication by the customer of special or general terms in tender material, order, acceptance, purchase conditions etc. will not be considered a deviation from these terms, unless expressly accepted by B-Sport A/S in writing.
2. The Product
2.1. B-Sport A/S's product information shall be indicative only. Information given by B-Sport A/S shall only be binding when warranted separately in writing as part of the contract.
2.2. The customer shall have the full responsibility for selecting the product, including for the product's contents and quality matching the customer's requirements. Where no specific description of the product is made, B-Sport A/S's understanding thereof shall apply.
3. Order commitment
3.1. Orders are binding for customer and B-Sport A/S. The customer will receive an order confirmation and shall with no further delay respond to this by e-mail if the customer wants to correct anything on the order. Otherwise, the order is binding and cannot be cancelled due to any reasons B-Sport A/S cannot influence. Any acceptable changes to orders will be confirmed with a new order confirmation.
4. Time and place of delivery
4.1. Price term EX Works (EXW), Incoterms® 2020, delivery from B-Sport A/S's warehouse, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Freight cost is carried by the customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, B-Sport A/S shall insure the freight during transport, at B-Sport A/S's own cost.
4.2. For preorders, the possible cancel date will be stated at the order confirmation. Customer can request B-Sport A/S to cancel any items not delivered by this date. B-Sport A/S reserves the right to invoice and ship at customer's expense when the preorder is 50% complete, or by 30/06 for summer season or 01/01 for winter season, whichever comes first.
4.3. For all reorders, B-Sport A/S reserves the right to invoice and ship the orders at customer's cost at once, unless anything else has been agreed in writing before order placement. Despite any such written agreement, B-Sport A/S reserves the right to invoice and ship orders by the end of the month in which the order has been placed, without further notice. Cost of freight is covered by the customer.
4.4. Where delivery cannot be made due to conditions for which the customer is responsible, the product will be stored by B-Sport A/S at the customer's expense and risk. B-Sport A/S may charge storage rent, costs etc.
4.5. Any time of delivery stated by B-Sport A/S shall be approximate and thus not binding on B-Sport A/S, unless a fixed time of delivery has been expressly agreed. If a fixed time of delivery has been expressly agreed, B-Sport A/S may extend such time by 10 working days from expiry of the fixed time of delivery. The customer shall not be entitled to exercise actions for breach of contract until after the expiry of the extended time of delivery. Where B-Sport A/S exceeds the extended time of delivery, the customer may terminate the contract with immediate effect if B-Sport A/S has not delivered the product within an additional time limit fixed by the customer in writing of at least five working days. Where the customer chooses to terminate the contract with immediate effect, the customer shall have no other claim than repayment of any payments already made for the delayed product, but not repayment of any other amounts paid for other products. The customer shall have no other remedies for breach as a result of the delay and shall thus be prevented from making any claim for damages. B-Sport A/S cannot be held liable for any delivery delays due to conditions B-Sport A/S has no influence on, e.g. delay of delivery from the supplier of the product or delays in shipping, whether from the supplier or from B-Sport A/S to the customer.

For prepayment conditions, the order is not processed until payment is received in B-Sport A/S's bank account.
5.3. B-Sport A/S shall be entitled to increase a price agreed with the customer due to currency changes, changes in freight prices, delivery failures, tax changes, out-of-stock goods, printing errors, technical errors and force majeure. These reservations may lead to individual items in an order (or the whole order) either not being delivered, or being delivered only after a price adjustment has taken place. The customer will be informed by e-mail if this is the case.
5.4. If the price of a product is increased by more than 10% from when the contract is made until delivery takes place, the customer may, without being liable to pay damages, rescind the contract if B-Sport A/S is notified thereof in writing immediately after the customer received information of B-Sport A/S's price change.

The customer shall have no other remedies.
