General Conditions of Sale of European Leather and Plastic Handmade 7th
Technical parts - (Plasteurotec)
preamble
Basically, the general sales conditions of the European plastics processors represent a recommendation. They form a framework for contracts between plastics processors and customers, which must be filled out individually.
Plasteurotec recommends that all users expressly make these general terms and conditions of sale part of the content of the contract for each individual contract.
The general sales conditions of the European plastics processors primarily contain the positions of the suppliers, but without disregarding the interests of the customer. A high level of balance was particularly important with regard to the examination by Directorate General IV - Competition of the Commission of the European Union.
As far as usages and divergent legal situations in the individual European countries are known, they were taken into account when the general conditions of sale were drawn up.
The objections, comments and additions of the Plasteurotec members were incorporated into the drafting of the text, as far as it appeared to be justifiable with regard to the meaning and scope of the set of rules.
