GTS Contract

Ariumlab

General Terms & Conditions of Sale and Delivery (GTS)

All legal relationships between Ariumlab and the contracting Party are governed by Estonian law, whereby the UN Sales Convention shall be excluded. 

  1. General information – Scope – Written Form
    1. All goods sales and deliveries performed by Ariumlab shall be subject exclusively to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery (hereinafter called “the GTS”), insofar as these are not amended by means of individual written agreements. 
    2. Any agreements concluded with the Buyer (including side agreements, supplements, and amendments) made in individual cases have priority over these GTS. A written contract or written confirmation from us is authoritative for the content of any agreements of this kind, subject to proof of the contrary.
    3. Ariumlab reserves the right to amend these GTS at any time

 

  1. Price Lists and Offers
    1. Our offers are non-binding and subject to alteration unless they have been explicitly marked as binding or contain a specific term of acceptance.
    2. The written purchase agreement is solely authoritative for all legal relationships between us and the Buyer, including these GTS. Price information and other terms and conditions shown in catalogs, brochures, and price lists merely represent invitations to submit offers; they are time-limited pursuant to the information printed therein and may be amended without prior notification once this period has expired.
    3. The validity of the Ariumlab offers is limited to 15 (fifteen) days from the date of the offer, although at the most to the duration of the respective relevant price lists or special offers.
    4. Amendments to orders require a change agreement at least in text form, and are only possible in exceptions and only if production has not yet started. Any costs for changes to the order requested by the Buyer shall be borne by the Buyer.

 

  1. Prices and Order Volumes
    1. Deliveries and sales prices are shown ex-works and are quoted in Euros unless otherwise agreed. The prices which are offered are subject to the applicable, statutory taxes, fees, and duties.
    2. Orders placed by the contracting Party shall be subject to the prices and conditions which are valid on the day on which the order is recorded.
    3. Orders to the net value of 8,000 Euros will be subject to a shipping and packing fee. Orders above (>8,000 Euros) will be dispatched without any surcharges for shipping and packing. Separately negotiated, individual orders may be subject to a waiver of the shipping and packing fees.

 

  1. Delivery / Delivery time / Deviations in quantities / Packaging
    1. The scope of the delivery does not include further technical specifications, assembly, fitting, intellectual property rights of all kinds, environmental tests, or other tests that go beyond the normal Ariumlab standard tests, certification, and packaging which goes beyond the Ariumlab standard packaging. 
    2. Provided the order confirmation does not specify anything else, “ex works” delivery is agreed and any delivery costs arising from transportation (loading and unloading) will be charged to the contractual partner.
    3. Terms and deadlines suggested by us for deliveries and services are only approximate unless a specific term or fixed deadline is explicitly accepted or agreed upon. If dispatching has been agreed, the delivery times and deadlines refer to the time of the hand-over to the freight forwarder, hauler, or other third-party commissioned with the transport. Orally promised delivery dates shall only be binding insofar as they have been confirmed by Ariumlab in writing.
    4. Without prejudice to our rights due to a default by the Buyer, we can demand the extension of delivery and service periods, or the postponement of delivery and service deadlines, if the Buyer does not meet its contractual obligations to us.
    5. If the goods are returned to Ariumlab for any possible reason, then the risk and liability shall be retained by the contracting Party until these have been unloaded in Tallinn. In the event of the delayed acceptance of the goods by the contracting party, then the risk shall be transferred to the contracting party from the date and /or commencement of the delay.
    6. Insofar as the respective applicable law does not stipulate any other relevant clause(s), then the contracting Party shall in all cases be exclusively responsible for adhering to all export, import, transit, and control regulations and formalities.

 

  1. Obligation to deliver and cooperate
    1. The scope of our obligation to deliver is based exclusively on the contract concluded and these GTS. Changes to construction, form, and color, which are due to an improvement in technology or legislative requirements remain reserved, provided the changes are not major or unreasonable for the Buyer in any other way.
    2. We are permitted to make partial deliveries if the partial deliveries can be used by the Buyer within the scope of the intended contractual purpose if the delivery of the remaining ordered goods is ensured and the Buyer does not incur any considerable extra work or extra costs as a result (unless we declare that we are prepared to take on these costs).
    3. In the event of force majeure, strikes, lock-outs, or similar unforeseen events, which prevent an order from being executed, we are not bound to the agreed delivery time for the duration of the obstruction.

 

  1. Delivery delays
    1. If the agreed deadline cannot be met by us or our suppliers, due to conditions that are not under our control, the deadline shall be extended accordingly. We will notify the Buyer immediately about a case of this kind. If the preventative conditions continue to exist one month after the expiry of the agreed delivery time, both parties can withdraw from the contract. Further claims due to the delivery time being exceeded, for reasons which are not our fault, are excluded.
    2. In the event of a delivery delay which is our fault, the Buyer is permitted to demand lump-sum default compensation of 2% of the affected delivery value for each completed week, up to a maximum of 10% of the delivery value, if the Buyer incurs damage due to the delay. Furthermore, the Buyer can set a suitable grace period for us in writing (text form is sufficient) which must amount to at least 15 days. After this deadline has expired without effect, the Buyer is permitted to withdraw from the contract or to demand compensation instead of delivery.

 

  1.  Notice of defects / Claims for defects / Warranty period
    1. We only assume warranties as part of individual and explicit contractual agreements.
    2. The contracting Party must inspect the products (quality and quantity) at their own expense.
    3. If the goods have a defect upon the transfer of risk, we are obliged and have the right to provide supplementary performance. The supplementary performance is done at our discretion by a remedy of the defect or replacement delivery. The costs for the supplementary performance, in particular the transport, infrastructure, work, and material costs are to be borne by us within the scope of the legal provisions if there is actually a defect. Otherwise, we can demand compensation from the Buyer due to unauthorized requests for defect rectification (in particular the costs associated with verification and transportation), unless the lack of a defect could not have been noticed by the Buyer. Our right to reject supplementary performance based on the legal requirements remains unaffected by this.
    4. Concealed defects must be reported in writing immediately following their discovery, although at the latest within 10 (ten) days following the ascertainment of the defects, describing the defects in detail.
    5. If the Contracting Party fails to issue the correct notice of defects, then the product shall be deemed to have been approved without reservation.
    6. Claims brought by the contracting Party on account of defects shall be excluded in the case of minor material defects. If the subsequent fulfillment has failed to produce the desired effect, has been refused or is unreasonable, or if the contracting Party fruitlessly granted Ariumlab a reasonable grace period for subsequent fulfillment, then the contracting party shall be entitled to demand a price reduction or to withdraw from the agreement.
    7. The legal warranty period for new goods is limited to one year from the transfer of risk, although at the latest from delivery, provided mandatory legal provisions do not intend a longer period of limitation.
    8.  We exclude used goods from the warranty; we are only responsible for defects if we have explicitly provided a warranty.

 

  1. Payment, Invoicing
    1. Provided nothing else has been explicitly stated, all prices are quoted in EUROS, ex-works, and excluding the legally-applicable VAT; the VAT is charged on the invoicing date at the legally-applicable rate, and stated separately on the invoice.
    2. Payments of the purchase price are to be paid in cash or by wire transfer within 15 days. They are deemed to be settled on the date the amount is freely available to us. The risk of the method of payment is to be borne by the Buyer.
    3. Ariumlab may at any time demand advance payment or an irrevocable letter of credit or may insist upon other payment methods. Any resulting costs shall be borne by the contracting party.
    4. Other forms of payment require a separate agreement, usually in text form. The costs incurred by both parties are to be borne by the Buyer.

 

  1. Warranty and guarantee
    1. Ariumlab guarantees that its products are free of material and manufacturing defects
    2. The guarantee issued by Ariumlab shall extend from the day of dispatch (or in the case of assembly or fitting performed or commissioned by Ariumlab, from the date of the completion of these works) for the guarantee period agreed in the individual agreement by and between Ariumlab and the contracting party, or in the absence thereof for the duration of 24 (twenty-four) months, unless otherwise stipulated below.
    3. Expendable goods such as for example seals, valves, actuators, etc. have a limited useful life on account of the application. For this reason, the guarantee for signs of natural wear or for improper utilization shall be excluded.
    4. In the event of replacement or repair, no new guarantee period will commence; the original, remaining period of the original guarantee period shall apply.
    5. The contracting Party shall lose his claims:
  1. a) if the products or their parts were not connected, assembled, fitted, deployed, utilized, or serviced properly or as intended and in accordance with the details set out in the operating instructions and/or the material safety data sheets or in accordance with their specifications;
  2. b) if the damage was caused by the impact of force (e.g. accident);
  3. c) if the products or their parts (incl. electronics and software) were not set, amended, repaired or services by QInstruments or by specialized authorized by Ariumlab ;
  4. d) if non-original Ariumlab parts were used when replacing parts;
  5. e) if serial numbers have been amended, deleted, or removed.
  1. Whosoever asserts a guarantee claim must demonstrate that the product defect was caused by material or manufacturing defects.

 

  1. Liability
    1. We are not liable in the event of simple negligence by our committees, legal representatives, employees, or other vicarious agents, provided it does not concern a violation of material contractual obligations. Material contractual obligations are, in particular, those whose fulfillment allows the proper execution of the contract, and on which the Buyer can regularly rely on being observed.
    2. Ariumlab shall not be liable for the consequences of the improper amendment or treatment of the goods, and in the case of technical medical equipment in particular not for the consequences of faulty maintenance performed by the contracting Party or any third party, as well as for defects which were based upon normal wear or which were caused by the transport.

 

  1. Utilisation restrictions
    1. Goods delivered by Ariumlab may contain products whose use by the contracting Party is subject to statutory patents or licensing restrictions.

 

  1. Intellectual property
    1. All intellectual property (such as e.g., trademarks or company designation) shall be retained by Ariumlab.
    2. The contracting party may not use the intellectual property of Ariumlab without the prior written approval of Ariumlab. The use of Ariumlab advertising material remains reserved.
    3. Should third parties claim that their intellectual property is being breached by Ariumlab products, then the Contracting Party must inform Ariumlab thereof in writing without delay. The contracting Party must to the best of his ability, and following Ariumlab’s instructions, help Ariumlab defend itself against such claims. Ariumlab shall not be liable vis-à-vis the contracting Party for any damages resulting from such claims or actual breaches.

 

  1. Confidentiality
    1. The contracting Party must treat all details of its business relationships with Ariumlab and its business secrets strictly confidential, including after the end of the business relationship. He shall also impose this obligation upon his managing officers, employees, and lawfully involved third parties. The offers made by Ariumlab shall, in particular, also be deemed to be of a confidential nature. Any breach of this obligation shall entitle QInstruments to demand compensation and to withdraw from the legal agreement with immediate effect.

 

  1. Reservation of title
    1. Ariumlab shall retain the title to all sold products until Ariumlab has received the full purchase price. The title held by Ariumlab also extends to the new products created by processing the goods, which are subject to reservation of title. The processing shall be performed for Ariumlab in the capacity of a manufacturer. In the event of any processing, connection, blending, or mixing with items that do not belong to Ariumlab, Ariumlab shall acquire co-ownership thereof in proportion to the invoice value of its goods, which are subject to the reservation of title relative to the invoice values of the other materials.
    2. The contracting party must treat the goods subject to the reservation of title with due care. He is obliged to insure the goods which are subject to the reservation of title adequately at his own expense against fire, water, and theft damage at their new value, and shall, in advance, assign to Ariumlab his claims for compensation arising out of these insurance agreements.

 

  1. Force Majeure, contractual obstacles
    1. Force majeure of all kinds, unforeseeable operating, transport or consignment disruptions, fire damage, flooding, unforeseeable fuel, energy, raw material or auxiliary material shortages, lawful strikes, lawful lockouts, official decrees or other hindrances for which the Party which owes the performance is not responsible, which delay or prevent the manufacture, the dispatch, the delivery or the acceptance, or which render these unreasonable, shall free QInstruments from the obligation to perform the delivery or the acceptance for the duration and scope of the disruption. This shall also apply if the circumstances occur about the suppliers.

 

  1. Miscellaneous provisions
    1. The invalidity of individual provisions of our GTS does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. If the contract or these GTS contain gaps, legally valid regulations shall be agreed to fill these gaps, which the contract partners would have agreed to according to the business objective of the contract and the purpose of these GTS if they had known about the gaps.
    2. All agreements concluded between Ariumlab and the contracting party about the execution of the sale of goods must be made in writing to be valid (validity requirement).
    3. The waiving of the requirement for written form is only valid in writing.
    4. The contracting party may not assign their claims vis-à-vis Ariumlab to any third party.

Code of Ethics Policy

Code of ethics policy

Policy brief & purpose

Our professional code of ethics policy aims to give our employees guidelines on our business ethics and stance on various controversial matters. We trust you to use your better judgment, but we want to provide you with a concrete guide you can fall back on if you’re unsure about how you should act (e.g. in cases of conflict of interest). We will also use this policy to outline the consequences of violating our business code of ethics.

Scope

This policy applies to everyone we employ or have business relations with. This includes individual people such as employees, interns, volunteers, but also business entities, such as vendors, enterprise customers or venture capital companies.

Note that our code of ethics is slightly different than our code of conduct. Code of conduct may include elements such as dress code and social media use, whilst our code of professional ethics refers to legally or morally charged issues. Still, these two codes do overlap.

Policy elements

What is meant by code of professional ethics?

Professional ethics: They are a set of principles that guide the behavior of people in a business context. They are essential to maintaining the legality of business and a healthy workplace.

Our code of ethics definition refers to the standards that apply to a specific setting – in this case, our own organization.

What is the purpose of a professional code of ethics?

Having our business ethics in writing doesn’t mean that we don’t trust our employees. We strive to hire ethical people who have their own personal standards, so we expect that a written code won’t be necessary most of the time.

But, it can still be helpful. You may find yourself in a situation where you’re not sure how you should act. Life is full of grey areas where right and wrong aren’t so apparent. Some professional ethics also correspond to laws that you absolutely must know to do your job properly, so we will mention them in our code of ethics.

Additionally, every organization makes bad hires every once in a while. We also can’t predict how people are going to behave. When an employee behaves, or intents to behave, in a way that’s against our professional ethics, or applicable laws, we will have clear guidelines on what disciplinary actions we will consider.

For these reasons, we advise you to read this document carefully and consult with your manager or HR, if you have doubts or questions.

The components of our code of professional ethics:

We base our business code of ethics on common principles of ethics [Note: Modify this list based on your own organization’s values]:

  • Respect for others. Treat people as you want to be treated.
  • Integrity and honesty. Tell the truth and avoid any wrongdoing to the best of your ability.
  • Justice. Make sure you’re objective and fair and don’t disadvantage others.
  • Lawfulness. Know and follow the law – always.
  • Competence and accountability. Work hard and be responsible for your work.
  • Teamwork. Collaborate and ask for help.

Here’s a more detailed overview of our code:

Respect for others

It’s mandatory to respect everyone you interact with. Be kind, polite and understanding. You must respect others’ personal space, opinions and privacy. Any kind of violence is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination. You’re also not allowed to harass or victimize others.

What constitutes harassment or victimization? To answer this, we have a policy on harassment and a more specific policy on sexual harassment you can take a look at. As a general rule, try to put yourself in someone else’s place. How would you feel if someone behaved a specific way to you? If the answer is “I wouldn’t like it much” or “I would never let them behave like that to me”, then we don’t tolerate this behavior no matter the person it comes from.

If someone, be it customer, colleague or stakeholder, is offensive, demeaning or threatening toward you or someone you know, report them immediately to HR or your manager. You can also report rudeness and dismissiveness if they become excessive or frequent.

Integrity and honesty

First, always keep in mind our organization’s mission. We all work together to achieve specific outcomes. Your behavior should contribute to our goals, whether financial or organizational.

Be honest and transparent when you act in ways that impact other people (e.g. taking strategic decisions or deciding on layoffs). We don’t tolerate malicious, deceitful or petty conduct. Lies and cheating are huge red flags and, if you’re discovered, you may face progressive discipline or immediate termination depending on the damage you did.

Stealing from the company or other people is illegal. If you’re caught, you will face repercussions depending on the severity of your actions. For example, if you steal office supplies, you may receive a reprimand or demotion (at a minimum), while if you steal money or data (e.g. engaging in fraud or embezzlement), you will get fired and face legal consequences. The decision is at HR’s discretion on a case-by-case basis.

Conflict of interest

Conflict of interest may occur whenever your interest in a particular subject leads you to actions, activities or relationships that undermine our company. This includes situations like using your position’s authority for your own personal gain or exploiting company resources to support a personal money-making business. Even when you seemingly act to the company’s advantage, you may actually disadvantage it. For example, if an employee uses dubious methods to get competitor intel and raise their sales record, their action will have a positive impact on the company’s revenue, but it will put us at a legal risk and promote unhealthy business practices.

If it turns out you have created a conflict of interest for yourself, you will be terminated. If the conflict of interest was involuntary (e.g. buying stocks from a company without knowing they’re a competitor), we will take actions to rectify the situation. If you repeat the offence, you may be terminated.

Justice

Don’t act in a way that exploits others, their hard work or their mistakes. Give everyone equal opportunity and speak up when someone else doesn’t.

Be objective when making decisions that can impact other people, including when you’re deciding to hire, promote or fire someone. Be sure that you can justify any decision with written records or examples. Seek and use the most objective methods in any case; for example, when interviewing candidates, ask the same interview questions to all of them and avoid judging non-job-related criteria, like dress, appearance, etc.

Also, don’t discriminate against people with protected characteristics, as this is forbidden by [laws under the purview of the EEOC]. If you suspect you may have an unconscious bias that influences your decisions (taking Harvard’s Implicit Association Test could help you determine this), ask for help from HR.

When exercising authority, be fair. Don’t show favoritism toward specific employees and be transparent when you decide to praise or reward an employee. You’re also obliged to follow our employment of relatives policy, which forbids you from having a reporting relationship with a relative.

If you need to discipline an employee, be sure to have prepared a case that you can present to HR. You must not retaliate against employees or applicants (such as in cases when they’ve filed complaints) as this is forbidden by law.

Be just toward customers or vendors, too. If you think our company was in the wrong in a specific instance, don’t try to cover it up or accuse the other side. Discuss with your manager to find solutions that can benefit both sides.

Lawfulness

You are obliged to follow all laws which apply to our organization. Depending on your role and profession, there might be various laws you need to observe. For example, accountants and medical professionals have their own legal restrictions and they must be fully aware of them.

When you’re preparing contracts, clauses, disclaimers or online copy that may be governed by law (such as consent forms), please ask verification from [our legal counsel] before finalizing anything.

You’re also covered by our confidentiality and data protection policy. You must not expose, disclose or endanger information of customers, employees, stakeholders or our business. Always follow our cybersecurity policy, too.

Following laws regarding fraud, bribery, corruption and any kind of assault is a given. You are also obliged to follow laws on child labor and avoid doing business with unlawful organizations.

If you’re not sure what the law is in a specific instance, don’t hesitate to ask HR or our legal counsel.

Competence and accountability

We all need to put a healthy amount of effort in our work. Not just because we’re all responsible for the organization’s success, but also because slacking off affects our colleagues. Incomplete or slow working might hinder other people’s work or cause them to shoulder the burden themselves. This comes in direct conflict with our respect and integrity principles.

We also expect you to take up opportunities for learning and development, either on-the-job or via educational material or training. If you are unsure how you can achieve this, have an open discussion with your manager.

Also, take responsibility for your actions. We all make mistakes or need to make tough decisions and it’s important we own up to them. Failing to be accountable on a regular basis or in important situations (e.g. a crucial mistake in our financial records) will result in termination. If you take responsibility and come up with ways to fix your mistakes where possible, you will be in a far better position.

Teamwork

Working well with others is a virtue, rather than an obligation. You will certainly get to work autonomously and be focused on your own projects and responsibilities. But, you should also be ready to collaborate with and help others.

Be generous with your expertise and knowledge. Be open to learning and evolving. If days go by without you consulting or brainstorming with anyone, you are missing out on opportunities for excellence. Instead, work with others and don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it.
