5. Date of Delivery
The agreed delivery date is based on the conditions prevailing at the time the order is placed and under the assumption of normal supply and manufacturing conditions. Qenax is not responsible for delays in the supply of goods unless caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct of Qenax. If special specifications required by the Buyer have been agreed for the Goods, the Buyer shall bear the risk of delayed delivery caused by failure to meet the required specification.
6. Warranty and Liability
Defects must be notified and specified in writing within ten days after receipt of the goods.

If Qenax does not provide such replacement or if replacement fails, the purchaser has the right to raise rescission or price reduction claims, but no claims for damages.

Qenax is not responsible for damage resulting from either faulty usage, storage or alteration of the goods by the purchaser or third parties.

Notwithstanding any such recommendations the purchaser shall remain responsible for satisfying himself that the products as supplied by us are suitable for his intended process or purpose.

The purchaser shall ensure that the intended use of the products will not infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights.
