These General Terms and Conditions of OncoBeta® GmbH (OBG) apply to any offer proposed by OBG and are deemed accepted by OBG’s contract partner (Customer) wherever Customer’s principal place of business may be located (only subject to any national statutory law that may apply and overrule any provision hereof in any country where OBG’s product, device or component (collectively, Product) may be used, against payment received by OBG, specifically including, but not limited to, Europe, South Africa, Brazil, Australia, Canada and the United States of America), at the earliest upon being made available to Customer, and, at the latest, upon delivery of the Product to Customer; provided, however, any written agreement individually negotiated and entered into shall, to the extent in conflict with these provisions, supersede and exclusively govern the following.

 

2. OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE

Any offer proposed by OBG is binding for 30 days after submittal to Customer; provided, however, any offer proposed by OBG, and the acceptance by OBG of an order by Customer, is valid and binding on OBG only if any equipment related to the Product and/or the environment at Customer’s site are approved by OBG, and if the required authorization to work with the radioisotopes provided by OBG has been received by Customer from the national authorities, at the radioactivity levels of any Product. OBG will ensure compatibility before OBG’s acceptance of Customer’s order. If compatibility is not approved by OBG, any offer and/or acceptance by OBG is invalid and not binding on OBG and Customer may not assert any rights from the offer proposed or any acceptance by OBG.
