1.1 These “General Terms and Conditions of Purchase” (hereinafter referred to as: “GTCP”) of LOGICDATA Electronic & Software Entwicklungs GmbH, Wirtschaftspark 18, 8530 Deutschlandsberg (hereinafter referred to as: “LOGICDATA”) shall be applicable for all orders of LOGICDATA.
1.2 For future orders, these GTCP shall be deemed included even if they are not referred to.
1.3 LOGICDATA is only willing to contract based on these GTCP. Should the General Terms and Conditions of the supplier include regulations, which are contrary to these GTCP, or contain additional regulations, which are not taken into account here and which deviate from the legal regulations, then these regulations shall not be included in the content of the contract. Acceptance of the delivery and service of the supplier by LOGICDATA or a payment by LOGICDATA shall not imply agreement with the supplier’s conditions. On the other hand, the supplier shall acknowledge the exclusive applicability of these GTCP through the delivery or service.
2. OFFERS AND ORDERS
2.1 The supplier must send a written order confirmation to LOGICDATA, which must be received within 3 working days from the order. The order confirmation must correspond to the order and particularly contain the delivery period (project plan), order number, delivery date and prices. Deviations shall become a part of the contract only if they are confirmed by LOGICDATA in writing. If LOGICDATA does not receive an order confirmation within this period, this shall be considered as unconditional acceptance of the order.
2.2 Orders shall only be deemed legally binding if they have been duly signed and issued by LOGICDATA in writing. Orders transmitted by telefax shall be accepted.
2.3 The parties agree that, unless otherwise required, legally significant statements or declarations of either party may also be transmitted electronically.

3. SUBCONTRACTING
The supplier shall be authorised to use subcontractors for the fulfilment of the contract only with prior written consent by LOGICDATA.

4. PRICES, OFFSETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
4.1 Any offers submitted by supplier shall be entirely free of charges to LOGICDATA.
4.2 Prices are fixed prices plus legal turnover tax, and exclude additional claims of any kind. Costs for packaging and transport to the shipping address as well as for customs clearance and customs duty are included.

4.4 If LOGICDATA fails to make timely payment of any sums, except those contested in good faith or those in a good faith dispute, interests will accrue at an annual rate equal to three percent (3%). If LOGICDATA fails to make timely payment contested in good faith or those in a good faith dispute LOGICDATA has not to pay any interests.
4.5 Offsetting against the claims of LOGICDATA shall be permissible only with legally determined or acknowledged claims. The supplier waives the commercial right of retention (§ 369 UGB [Austrian Commercial Code]) as well as related legal institutions vis-à-vis LOGICDATA. Advance payments made by LOGICDATA must be credited to a guarantee pursuant to § 1170b ABGB [General Civil Code] that is permissibly demanded by the supplier.
