Selection of the carrier and delivery route will be made by Decode unless specifically designated by the Customer. Decode will endeavor to meet requested delivery dates and quantities as ordered by Customer. However, Customers acknowledges that shipment and delivery dates provided by Decode are estimates only, and that Decode will not be liable for failure to achieve such dates. For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Products within 30 days of the requested delivery date shall constitute full delivery. Delay in delivery of one installment will not entitle Customer to cancel any other installment(s). Products are deemed accepted by Customer unless Customer notifies Decode of shortages, damage, or defects in writing within 5 business days of delivery.
• INCOMING INSPECTION -Buyer shall perform incoming inspection as necessary to ascertain that the Products shipped correspond to the placed order and the order confirmation. Buyer must reject those Products that do not correspond to the order confirmation if any such inspection is done by the Buyer within fine (5) business days as from the receipt of shipment. Buyer’s failure to perform the incoming inspection shall result in the acceptance of the delivered Products.
• WARRANTY – Decode’s warranty covers for a period of 12 months from delivery proven defects due to bad material or poor workmanship of Decode’s hardware. Under the warranty, Decode undertakes, at its own discretion, to repair, replace or reimburse the purchase price of the defective hardware or part. It is the Customer’s responsibility to arrange and pay the return shipment to Decode. Return shipment will only be accepted under the conditions of Decode’s Return Material Authorization Request form. Repaired or replaced hardware will be warranted hereunder only for the remaining portion of the original warranty period. Any guarantees or additional warranty are expressly excluded. Replaced hardware becomes Decode’s property. The Customer shall bear the associated costs of replacement of defective hardware (i.e. removing, transporting and reinstalling). Excluded from Decode’s warranty are all defects, which result from normal wear and tear or damaging external influences (e.g. electromagnetic, electrolytic, chemical, weather, air pollution), unapproved repairs, improper maintenance or storage, failure to observe the user manual and mounting instructions, excessive loading, inappropriate or insufficient testing, inappropriate material or processes, failure to implement updates or upgrades of firmware or software as recommended by Decode. Before mass-production, Buyer shall perform tests as necessary to assure that the Products are fit for the purpose intended by the Buyer. Samples do not constitute a warranty of quality or characteristics. Decode excludes the warranty for Products that are not identified as “Initial Production”, “Mass Production” or “End of Life”. The warranty terminates upon the Customer’s breach of an obligation under these General Terms and Conditions.
• PRODUCT RETURN – Customer may return Product to Decode only with a return material authorization (RMA) document issued by Decode. Customer must notify Decode of a return for Product warranty in writing stating the specific Product defect within the warranty period. Decode will only issue an RMA if the defect (either visual or Product warranty) is created solely by Decode or the original manufacturer and only if Customer meets the notice requirement. Decode will not grant RMAs for damage, shortage, or other discrepancy created by Customer, the carrier or freight provider, or any other third party. After receiving an RMA, Customer must return the Product adequately packaged to prevent any (further) damage to Product during shipment with the RMA identified on the exterior of the Product packaging. Product returned by Customer with an RMA without proper packaging may forfeit credit by Decode.

Customer’s recovery from Decode for any claim shall not exceed the purchase price paid for the affected products irrespective of the nature of the claim whether in contract, tort, warranty, or otherwise.
• FORCE MAJEURE – Decode is not liable for failure to fulfill its obligations under this agreement due to causes beyond its reasonable control (for example, acts of nature, acts or omissions of Customer, operational disruptions, man-made or natural disasters, epidemic medical crises, material or Product shortages or allocations, strikes, criminal acts, terrorism, delays in delivery or transportation, or inability to obtain labor, materials, or Products through regular sources).
