In certain cases, the Parties may decide to act in a way other than the standard contractual terms, they may enter into a separate Supplier and Contractor contract, but otherwise this GTC shall apply for both parties (Contractor and Customer) as well as the applicable legislation in accordance with other non-regulated matters. The contractor makes the valid GTC available on its website.
II. Quote
In accordance with the specifications provided by the Customer, the Contractor shall prepare a written quote, which shall be valid for 30 days after it is sent, even without a signature. This GTC shall form an inseparable part of the quote and the order, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties; its contents shall be binding for both parties. By signing the order, the Customer also accepts the contents of the GTC. During the quote the price is determined in a net price + VAT form. The quote includes the VAT and the environmental protection fee of 85 HUF/kg per advertising carrier paper and 19 HUF/kg or 57 HUF/kg per packaging material in accordance with Act No. LXXXV of 2011.
III. Order
After accepting the quote, the Customer shall send a written order to the Contractor. The order shall include the work agreed on and documented during the preliminary quotation. If you have any other related, necessary information when placing the order, which was not part of the quote, that must be recorded in writing too when ordering, including e.g. the following: material, size, scope, price, number of pieces, requested deadline, delivery information, payment terms… etc. In case of a reference to the quote, the order will take effect, if the order is identical to the given quote in all respects and the Contractor sends the confirmation of the order. Any changes made by the Customer shall be accepted exclusively in writing by the Contractor. If there is a discrepancy between the given quote and the order, or during production there is a discrepancy between the ordered product or service and the previously agreed task, the Parties shall record that in writing, about which the Contractor shall send a confirmation or an amended quote to finalize the contract. The Contractor is entitled to use a subcontractor to perform the contract. In case of first order (or during data change), the Customer is liable to provide the data required for invoicing when ordering; billing name, registered office, tax number, postal address of the invoice, P.O.B., contact person and their contact details. The Contractor reserves the right to request a deposit or payment guarantee from the Customer in case of ordering. The Customer shall be notified of this request no later than the order is confirmed. In such cases, production of the ordered products can only start after the exact invoicing data and the advance payment have been received.
IV. Order Confirmation
In all cases, the Contractor must send a written confirmation of the ordered product within 3 working days. Unless the Customer requests otherwise, the confirmation will be sent in the form of an email. With the confirmation of the order, the contract shall be finalized, in which all the conditions are already clarified, including both the delivery and payment conditions, as well as the points that remained unspecified in Annex II and III of the GTC. If the Customer does not dispute the confirmation within 24 hours, it shall be deemed accepted, with which the contract shall be concluded.
V. Performance / Invoicing
The Contractor shall issue an invoice for the performed products and services in accordance with the provisions of the contract or order. An invoice other than the order may only be issued by the Contractor if there has been a change in the method of execution after the order and this has been recorded in writing with the Customer when it arose. The Contractor shall notify the Customer about the performance of the product or service and shall arrange the release or delivery of the product in accordance with the contents of the confirmation. The Parties shall consider the production of a given product to be completed if the number of copies ordered and the number of copies completed do not differ by more than 1%. The Parties shall also consider the order to be fulfilled if, in case of random tests, the proportion of products considered defective in relation to the total quantity does not exceed 2%. Upon receipt, the customer checks the quantity received and certifies its receipt by signing it. If you experience a quantitative discrepancy, you can only indicate it at the time of delivery. If in case of offset printing the Customer does not provide a sample or proof, or does not indicate in writing when ordering that he would like to be present and check the test print at machine start-up, thus confirming its acceptance by signing, the quality of the completed print is considered to be accepted. In case of digital printing, the Contractor shall provide a test print, provided that the Customer has notified the Contractor in writing before the start of production. Mass production may start after this has been signed by the Customer. If the product is made without the need for a test print, the Customer will no longer accept a complaint about the print quality of the printed product. The costs of printing corrections or more than one test print are to be paid by the Customer. The Contractor shall not be liable for any errors discovered in the finalized file after the corrections. The Parties agree that pre-performance and partial delivery of the ordered product is permitted. Furthermore, on the basis of an individual agreement, it is also possible to issue a collective invoice for continuous deliveries or a consolidated invoice for the fulfilment of several orders of the Customer in one period.
The deadline for performance is jointly agreed by the Parties and fixed in writing during ordering. The deadline for completion may be modified by the delayed course of business by the Customer (incomplete files or files to be edited, delayed feedback) as well as the delay in checking corrections, due to which the Contractor shall not be liable for the extended deadline.
By accepting this GTC, the Customer acknowledges that, in the absence of any other agreement, the transferred electronic files will be destroyed by the Contractor after 30 days after the delivery of the product.
The Contractor cannot be made responsible for the legal purity of the files received from the Customer or the printed products made from them, for the information contained therein, for their authenticity, nor shall they examine them. The Contractor shall not be liable and cannot be made responsible for any legal matters caused by the Customer’s product, whether caused to itself or to third parties. If the Contractor suffers a legal infringement regarding the content and distribution of the product by the Customer, the Customer shall be liable to undertake this damage and compensate it to the Contractor.
The Contractor hereby informs the Customer that Government Decree No. 60/1998 (III.27.) stipulates the provision of legal deposit copies for publications with ISBN and ISSN numbers. The quantity of the product by the Customer must also include the required legal deposit copies, the delivery of which, unless otherwise agreed, is performed by the Contractor.
