Rocsys General Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Products and Services
1. General Provisions
1.1. Agreement. These terms (“Terms”), together with any Rocsys quotation or proposal referencing them, constitute the entire agreement between Rocsys B.V. or Rocsys Inc. (“Rocsys”) and the purchaser (“Customer” and together with Rocsys, the “Parties”, and each a “Party”) for the sale of Products and/or Services (the “Agreement”), and supersede all prior understandings. The Agreement is formed only upon Rocsys’ written acceptance of the Customer’s order. Where the Agreement includes Services, the Service Level Addendum set out in Exhibit A shall apply and form an integral part of the Agreement.
1.2. Applicability. These Terms govern all offers and agreements for the supply of Products and Services by Rocsys. Any terms proposed by the Customer, including in purchase orders or confirmations, are expressly rejected and shall not apply.
1.3. Scope. The scope is limited to items expressly specified in the Agreement. All other products and services are excluded unless explicitly included in writing, including (without limitation) groundworks, civil works, power network, (secure) IT network, permitting, certification, contractor management, subcontracting, financial services, and legal services.
2. Cancellations, Order Changes
2.1. Cancellations. Customer may not cancel an order accepted by Rocsys. In exceptional cases, Rocsys may agree to accept an order cancellation provided that such cancelled order may be subject to charges, including but not limited to costs incurred by Rocsys in preparation for the order. Rocsys may cancel all or part of an order prior to delivery upon written notice if Customer is in material breach of the Agreement (including non-payment) and fails to cure such breach within a reasonable period, or if performance becomes impracticable due to circumstances beyond Rocsys’ reasonable control. Rocsys may also cancel an order with the Customer’s agreement.
2.2. Order Changes. Customer may request written changes to an accepted order within a reasonable time after Rocsys’ acceptance and prior to shipment. Rocsys may accept or reject such requests at its discretion and, if accepted, shall make equitable adjustments and amend the order accordingly.
2.3. Delays, Suspensions. If Customer delays or suspends an accepted order, if the Customer’s acts or omissions delay Rocsys’ performance or deliveries, or if the Customer fails to comply with the provisions under Section 4 (Customer’s Responsibilities), Rocsys may invoice the Customer in accordance with the agreed invoicing schedule, notwithstanding such delay or suspension.
3. Delivery, Installation
3.1. Delivery Timing. Rocsys shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Products in a timely manner. Delivery dates are estimates only and subject to change, including where dependent on timely receipt of required support from Customer. Rocsys shall notify the Customer of any delays and the parties will cooperate to mitigate their impact. Rocsys shall not be liable for any loss, cost, or damage arising from delivery delays.
3.2. Delivery Terms. Delivery terms shall be as specified in the applicable Rocsys quotation. Unless otherwise stated therein, delivery shall be Ex Works (Incoterms 2020) from Rocsys’ facility, using Rocsys’ standard packaging and shipping methods.
3.3. Title and risk of loss. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties, risk of damage to or loss of the Products shall pass to Customer as soon as they are Delivered. Title in the Products shall not pass to the Purchaser until Rocsys has received cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Products for which payment is then due.
3.4. Installation and Commissioning. Where installation and/or commissioning services are included in the Agreement, the scope, timing, and applicable requirements shall be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties. Unless otherwise agreed, the Customer shall ensure that all necessary site conditions, access, and prerequisites as provided by Rocsys are in place to enable such installation and commissioning.
3.5. Acceptance and Non-Conformity. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Products and/or Services shall be deemed accepted upon delivery or, if applicable, upon completion of installation and/or commissioning (the “Acceptance Date”). Customer shall notify Rocsys in writing of any non-conformity within ten (10) business days of such delivery or completion, whichever applicable, failing which acceptance shall be final. Upon timely notice, Rocsys may, at its option, repair, replace, or re-perform the non-conforming Products or Services, which shall be the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy.
3.6 CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE REMEDIES SET OUT IN SECTION 3.5 ARE ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR NON-CONFORMING PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. SUBJECT TO SECTION 6, ALL SALES OF PRODUCTS ARE FINAL, AND THE CUSTOMER HAS NO RIGHT TO RETURN PRODUCTS TO ROCSYS.

5. Price and Payment
5.1. Prices. Prices are as set out in the Agreement and invoices, and are exclusive of VAT, taxes, duties, freight, and related costs.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes: (a) any warranty that cannot be excluded under applicable law; (b) Rocsys’ warranty of good title to the Products; or (c) Rocsys’ liability for infringement of third-party intellectual property rights to the extent that it is solely caused by the Products or Services provided by Rocsys. The remedies in Section 6.1 constitute Rocsys’ entire liability for any breach of warranty.
6.3. Exclusions.

6.4. Return of Defective Products. Defective Products shall be handled in accordance with Rocsys’ instructions. Rocsys may, at its discretion, inspect, repair, or replace defective Products on-site or require their return. The Customer shall provide reasonable access to the Products and site as necessary for such activities. No Product shall be repaired, replaced, credited, or refunded without Rocsys’ prior written authorization. Replaced Products shall become the property of Rocsys. If Rocsys determines that a reported defect does not exist, the Customer shall reimburse Rocsys for all reasonable costs incurred, including inspection, handling, repair, and transportation at Rocsys’ prevailing rates.
7. Limitation of liability
