I. General Provisions

The General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall govern the conclusion of contracts for the sale of goods and services offered by Biuro Techniczno-Handlowe BTH Import Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Podłęże, except for the purchase of goods for purposes not related to professional or business activity (consumer sales).
General Terms and Conditions of Sale form an integral part of all sales agreements concluded with the Seller – including supplementary or substitute deliveries – and define mutual relations between the Seller and the Buyer. Any deviation from these General Terms and Conditions of Sale must be made in writing in order to be valid. In case of discrepancies between the contractual terms agreed by the Parties and these GTCS, the contractual sales terms agreed by the Parties shall apply.
The General Terms and Conditions of Sale are provided for the information and acceptance of the Buyer at the latest when placing an order, and are also available on the website www.bth.pl. If the Buyer remains in permanent commercial relations with the Seller, the Buyer’s acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale at the time of the first order shall be deemed to be their acceptance for all other orders and sales agreements until their content is changed or their application is revoked.
Lack of acceptance of these GTCS by the Buyer shall entitle the Seller to withhold the issue and delivery of goods until their acceptance by the Buyer in writing. The Seller may set an additional time limit for acceptance of GTCS, after its ineffective expiry, the Seller may withdraw from the agreement.
Within the scope of sales of goods and services offered by the Seller, the application of contract templates other than the General Terms and Conditions of Sales, in particular general contract terms and conditions, contract templates and regulations applied by the Buyer shall be excluded. The absence of the Seller’s objection to any contractual models other than the General Conditions of Sale as well as the actual delivery of goods or provision of services by the Seller may under no circumstances be construed as acceptance of contractual models other than the General Conditions of Sale.
The following terms used in the further part of the General Terms of Sale shall mean:

Seller – Biuro Techniczno-Handlowe BTH Import Stal Sp. z o.o. with the registered office in Podłęże,

Buyer – an entity which is the other party to the sales contract,

Parties – Seller and Buyer,

GTCS – these General Terms and Conditions of Sale,

Goods – all goods and services offered by Biuro Techniczno-Handlowe BTH Import Sp. z o. o. with its registered office in Podłęże,

Contract – a contract for the sale of goods,

Supplier – the Seller’s business partner who supplies the Seller with goods.

II . Concluding the contract

The Contract is concluded on the basis of an order placed by the Buyer in writing, or sent by e-mail or fax, and the confirmation of that order, with the proviso that the Contract is concluded only at the moment of the Seller’s written confirmation of the acceptance of the order, including fax or e-mail.
The Seller reserves the right to refuse to accept an order within 5 working days of receiving it.
If the Seller confirms the order with changes or reservations, the Contract is concluded at the moment when the Buyer confirms that he accepts the offer with changes or reservations. In the event that within 3 days the Seller does not receive confirmation that the Buyer accepts the offer with amendments or reservations, it is deemed that the Contract is not concluded and the Seller is no longer bound by the submitted offer.
Any oral agreements, assurances, promises and guarantees made by the Seller’s employees in connection with the conclusion of the Agreement or submission of an offer shall not be binding upon the Parties unless confirmed in writing or electronically.
If, for reasons beyond the Seller’s control, relating to the Supplier or the manufacturer of the Goods, the Seller shall be unable to perform the Contract in whole or in part, it shall be entitled to withdraw from it in whole or in part. The Seller shall not be liable for any damage caused thereby.
Any amendments to the Contract shall be made in writing, including amendments that may be made by e-mail or fax, but any amendments to the Contract or separate oral agreements shall be valid upon written confirmation by the Seller and shall apply exclusively to the business transaction concerned.
Apart from the regulations included in GTCS, the Seller allows for the possibility of concluding individual contracts and reserves the right to accept orders in part and to reject them without stating the reason.

III. Information about goods, offers, samples, prices

All technical information concerning the Goods resulting from catalogues, brochures and other advertising materials presented by the Seller are approximate data and are valid only to the extent they are accepted by both Parties.
The Buyer is obliged to know the technical parameters of the Goods ordered. The Seller is obliged to deliver the Goods in accordance with the order and is not responsible for their further use.
Advertisements, commercials and catalogues about the goods offered by the Seller are for information purposes only. The samples and specimens issued by the Seller are for illustration and exhibition purposes only.
The prices for the Goods offered by the Seller are exclusive of VAT, unless expressly indicated otherwise.
The final price of the Goods shall be determined on the basis of prices valid at the Seller’s on the date of placing the order.
Any discounts, rebates, etc. granted by the Seller must be agreed individually in writing.

IV. Order performance

During the execution of deliveries, due to the nature of the offered products, the Seller reserves the margin of quantitative accuracy in the execution of the order of plus or minus 10%, and in the case of coils of plus or minus 15%.
Goods are sold by quantity according to the sales units (e.g. mb, kg).
The Seller guarantees the quality of one side of the material. Unless otherwise specified, it is the face in the case of sheets and the outside in the case of coils.
The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that the technical data, quality and quantity of the material specified in his order or contract corresponds to his needs. If the order does not specify the conformity of the material to a standard, or does not contain a description of the desired quality of the material, the ordered Goods shall be delivered as ordinary commercial goods, in this situation the Seller shall not be liable for special quality requirements.
The seller reserves that in the case of products made of corrosion-resistant steel, the existence of defects, as stipulated by the standards, cannot be excluded. Therefore, the Buyer undertakes to subject these products, prior to their use, to the tests appropriate to their purpose and required by Polish law.
Approvals, certificates, declarations of conformity or other documents confirming the quality of the Goods shall be attached to the Goods delivered, if such a requirement is indicated in the order or contract, up to 5 days from the date of delivery. The Seller does not verify the technical information contained in approvals, certificates and other documents certifying quality.
If the Seller has not received approvals from the manufacturer or its supplier by the time the Goods are issued or invoiced, the issuance or dispatch of the approval shall take place as soon as the Seller has received it. Such a delay shall not give rise to any claims whatsoever on the part of the Buyer or its business partners, including, in particular, the withholding or reduction of payments, the lodging of complaints and the assertion of other claims of a sanctioning nature.
Placing an order shall not bind the Seller, and the absence of his response shall not constitute “tacit acceptance of the order”, unless the Seller proceeds immediately to its execution.
If the Seller accepts an order with objections, the Buyer shall be bound by the content of such objections unless he submits his comments immediately.

V. Goods entrusted – waste

If the service is performed on entrusted goods/material, the waste generator (steel scrap) is the Seller (Waste Act of 14 December 2012, Journal of Laws 2019, item 701).

Within the scope of the order performed on the goods/material entrusted, in connection with the resulting waste, the Buyer shall:

collect the waste generated during the processing (scrap) with his own transport, however, in the event of failure to collect the scrap within 14 days from the date of order execution, the Seller shall charge the Buyer with the costs of storage
transfer the material/goods to the Seller in full, which means that the Seller will manage the waste (steel scrap) generated during the Service/Order on its own and the Buyer has the option to negotiate a price discount for the generation of scrap, unless such a discount was included in the negotiation process.

Pillow Plate Heating and Cooling Jackets

LEAD TIME
1. The lead time may be extended by the time required for verification and amendments to the design documentation;
2. The agreed lead time shall be counted from the date of acceptance of the design documentation.
BUYER’S DOCUMENTATION
1. Expansions are made according to the documentation provided by the Buyer;
2. The size of the connections made is based on the documentation provided by the Buyer;
3. The size of the holes for the connections is based on the documentation provided by the Buyer. Where additional connection components are used, e.g. a connection crown, the diameter of the hole cut in the overlay is reduced by the value necessary to form a flange with a height of approx. 10 mm;
4. Where the grid of ‘spot welds’ or ‘guides’ is specified by the Buyer, the order will be carried out according to the documentation provided. The Seller shall not be liable for the further functioning and performance of the pillow plate components made in this way;
5. Upon acceptance of the drawings prepared by the Seller (i.e. the layout of the ‘spot welds’ / ‘guides’, etc.), the Buyer shall declare that he has familiarised himself with the documentation and accepts the execution of the service (i.e. overall dimensions, material thickness and grade);
6. By placing the order the Buyer accepts the arrangement of the spot welds, the guides and the execution of the pillow plate jacket, which shall thereafter not be subject to complaints;
7. The applicable drawing shall be the DXF/DWG format drawing. If the Buyer requests a PDF drawing, the Buyer shall be obliged to notify this by email;
8. If the documentation is provided in both formats, i.e. both DXF/DWG and PDF, the Seller specifies that the DXF/DWG version is the superior format;
9. Where the jacket must meet specific heating/cooling parameters, the Buyer shall be obliged to declare the parameters each time when placing the order;
10. After receiving the calculations, the Buyer shall be obliged to check the parameters and report any variances;
11. The Seller only manufactures pillow plate jackets as a semi-finished product and does not deal with designing entire systems;

D		± 4	± 7	± 9	± 12	± 16	± 21	± 27	± 32

Where different tolerance values are to be applied to a dimension, the Buyer shall be obliged to notify the Seller of this before the Seller performs the service;
The overall dimensions contained in the technical documentation correspond to the overall dimensions of the components after the welding process, and therefore the Seller shall not be liable for any change in size resulting from subsequent material processing (e.g. rolling or inflation).

EDGE ORTHOGONALITY
1. The Seller wishes to make clear that the welding process results in material shrinkage, the extent of which depends on the size and location of the overlay sheet, which may cause that the outer edges will not be perpendicular to each other.
DEFORMATIONS
1. Deformation of pillow plate components depends on the dimensions of the individual component sheets, their thickness and the welding technology used;
2. Whenever a particular degree of flatness is required, the Buyer shall be obliged to inform the Seller in advance about the tolerance, i.e. the maximum allowable variation of the actual surface. The Seller reserves the right to produce a sample component for the Buyer’s approval.
‘A’ SIDE QUALITY
1. As a standard, the side coated with foil (the internal side) is made with 2B finish;
2. When placing an order, the Buyer shall be obliged to specify the required level of surface roughness. As a standard, for 2B finish, this value can usually reach Ra<0.98 (Ra in the range of 0.8-1.2) for thicknesses up to 5mm while for thicknesses of 6 and 8mm Ra is up to 1.2;
3. Roughness measurement shall be carried out in accordance with PN-ISO 4288:1998;
4. The Seller forewarns that there may appear on the surface some minor discolorations, dents (in random places/regular), and abrasions resulting from the production process and the cutting of metal sheets from the coil;
5. The Seller forewarns that minor scratches may occur on side A during the welding process due to the nature of the welding process.
‘B’ SIDE QUALITY
1. The Seller forewarns that there may occur some spatter during the welding process (i.e. abrasions, dents, chips) on the external (welded) surface;
2. In exceptional circumstances there may occur some micro holes in the weld. The Seller reserves the right to a TIG repair during the manufacturing of the panels;
3. The Seller’s liability shall not include the ‘B’ side (i.e. possible scratches, manufacturing marks or dents) unless the Buyer specifies particular demand regarding the surface when placing the order.
INFLATING
1. The Seller shall provide the Buyer with the guidelines for the procedure of inflating the pillow plate components and shall not be liable for any non-compliance arising from the Buyer’s failure to comply with them.
2. When using material of 1.4301 / 1.4307 grade on the top plate, it is necessary to check the heating / cooling fluid for contaminants that may adversely affect the occurrence of corrosion centers. It is recommended to additionally counteract corrosion by using inhibitors, replacing or filtering the medium, as well as flushing the working space of the pillow plate.
3. Inflating the upper sheet to a height lower than the required value is a factor that has a negative impact on the design parameters of the tank
