These terms and conditions apply to all sales and/or proposed sales of goods by CHEMIST EU to any Purchaser (Buyer) and shall prevail over and apply to the exclusion of any terms or conditions contained or referred to in the Buyer's order or in correspondence or elsewhere or implied by trade custom or dealing unless specifically agreed to in writing by a director of CHEMIST EU.

Seller assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such data. The Buyer agrees that he has the responsibility to fully determine the accuracy and completeness of any technical and safety data concerning any product or use.

Prices are those confirmed by official quotation, expressed in Euros. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all prices are exclusive of VAT, taxes, duty and insurances, all of which are the responsibility of the Buyer. Unless otherwise indicated all prices are ex works (EXW Incoterms) Niel, Belgium. Seller reserves the right to amend the price of any goods or services.

Shipments

Seller complies with all applicable government regulations pertaining to the safe shipping of hazardous materials, and reserves the right to change the method of shipment designated by the Buyer, including but not limited to shipping routes and product pack sizes, in order to comply with any legal requirement.
