Preamble
The following are the Terms and Conditions appended to and fully incorporated into the Sales Agreement between BAGJUMP ACTION SPORTS GmbH, also defined as “Bagjump” or “Seller” or the “Company”, and the buyer (“Buyer”) of goods or services through any form of sale as between the parties hereto.
Bagjump develops, produces through engaging third-parties, and sells to arenas, amusement parks, ski and snowboard facilities, and other sport and leisure companies, and to individuals, products designed to avoid or to reduce the severity of injuries and other consequences that may occur as a natural consequence of some sports and leisure activities.Bagjump products can best fulfil their tasks safely when properly serviced, maintained and used, based on the Operations Manual (“OP Manual”), which is provided to and known to the Buyer. Since these products are regularly used in potentially life-threatening situations, a risk of injuries can never be excluded, and thereby the risks can only be minimized.
Nonetheless, even in the case of proper utilization of Bagjump’s products and services, the potential for serious, even fatal injuries cannot be excluded, and Buyer has knowledge of the considerable risks of using the Object of Purchase herein and agrees to utilize all of Bagjump’s products and services only for their intended use and under uninterrupted surveillance while in use, in order to minimize the risks as much as possible.
1. Acceptance of Controlling Terms and Conditions
Buyer agrees to the Terms and Conditions outlined hereunder with respect to the goods, services and information provided by or through Bagjump (“Object of Purchase” or “Objects of Purchase”). Together with these Terms and Conditions, the Sales Agreement constitutes the entire and only agreement between Bagjump and Buyer, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings with respect to the Object of Purchase or Objects of Purchase provided by or through Bagjump, concerning the subject matter of this Sales Agreement. Buyer agrees to review these Terms and Conditions prior to purchasing anything, and purchase of a product or service from Bagjump shall be deemed to be acceptance of these Terms and Conditions and the Sales Agreement to which they are appended. Any terms and conditions proposed in Buyer’s offer, acceptance or in any acknowledgment, invoice, or other form of Buyer that add to, vary from, or conflict with the terms herein are hereby rejected, and shall be of no force or effect unless specifically agreed to in writing by Bagjump.
2. Single Transaction
The Sales Agreement is solely for the products or services provided thereunder and shall not be a recurring order. Any additional or repeat orders for products from the Bagjump shall be ordered under a separate Sales Agreement.
3. Payment
a) Where applicable, the Purchases Price stated in the Sales Agreement will be invoiced together with the then prevailing sales tax and/or the Austrian Value Added Tax, if any.
b) Banking fees that are charged for bank wires or for other cross-border transfers to the account of the Bagjump shall be entirely borne by the Buyer.
c) The Purchase Price is payable in two instalments unless otherwise agreed on specifically in writing:
i) The first partial payment is due and payable upon execution of the Sales Agreement. Only after receipt of this payment by the Bagjump, will it commence to produce the Object of Purchase. Accordingly, delays in payment may affect the delivery date.
ii) The second partial payment, in effect the remainder of the Purchase Price, shall be paid before Bagjump’s turning over the Object of Purchase to the Buyer from the facility of Bagjump, if not agreed differently. Only after receipt of this payment and thereby of the entire Purchase Price, is the Object of Purchase turned over to the Buyer or, respectively, to any assigned logistics enterprise.
iii) All payments are to be dispatched to the bank account of Bagjump as specified in the offer (grace period of 3 days), and all transfer fees are to be borne by the Buyer:
d) Should the Buyer default when paying an instalment, Bagjump may withdraw from the Sales Agreement after having previously set a grace period of 14 days in writing. Should the Object of Purchase have already been produced at that time, a cancellation fee of 60% of the entire Purchase Price becomes due and payable. Should the first partial payment not have been paid, and the Object of Purchase had not yet been completed, a cancellation fee of 20% of the Purchase Price becomes due and payable. In case of special orders regarding printing, color, shape etc. higher cancellation fees can also apply.
e) Setting-off of any claims of the Buyer against the Purchase Price, or the cancellation fees or other claims of the Bagjump shall not be permissible.
4. Delivery and Retention of Title
a) Buyer will be informed by Bagjump on the date that the Object of Purchase is completed for pick-up. The Object of Purchase may be picked up after the payment by Buyer of the remaining second payment, and such taking possession by Buyer shall constitute delivery.
b) Accordingly, delivery is completed when the goods are given to Buyer, its authorized personnel, or the carrier of Buyer’s choice and designation at the production plant or warehouse specified by Bagjump.
c) Risk of loss shall pass to Buyer upon delivery by Bagjump to Buyer or its carrier or other authorized personnel of Buyer.
d) Delays caused by production or transportation are permissible and do not provide grounds for withdrawal from the Sales Agreement by Buyer.
e) Bagjump retains title to all products that it ships until Buyer has performed all of the obligations owing to Bagjump under the Sales Agreement, and until the purchase price of the products has been fully paid. However, such products after delivery shall be at the risk and expense of the Buyer as to loss, destruction, or damage, and taxes and charges of every kind. Until such time as title passes, Buyer shall hold the Object of Purchase as fiduciary. Bagjump retains a security interest in the Object of Purchase, and in all accessions to, replacements of, and proceeds from the Object of Purchase, as security for the performance by the Buyer of all of the Buyer’s obligations arising under the Sales Agreement.
f) Until complete payment of the Purchase Price, the Buyer shall not be entitled to sell or encumber the Object of Purchase.
5. Warranties
a) Bagjump hereby represents and warrants that the Object of Purchase provided hereunder:
(i) is free from defects in material workmanship and title at the time of transfer, and will be suitable for its intended purpose so long as Buyer utilizes the products in accordance with Bagjump‘s written instructions (“OP Manual”), which are incorporated by reference and made a part of the Sales Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, Bagjump expressly disclaims all warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express or implied to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(ii) is merchantable for the intended purpose;
(iii) shall match the description, assortment, shipping unit, case pack, and quantity prescribed in the Sales Agreement;
(iv) have been produced and provided in accordance with Buyer’s desired specifications.
b) If the Object of Purchase does not meet the above warranties, Buyer shall immediately notify Bagjump in writing and Buyer shall refrain from using the product until it has been repaired in accordance with Bagjump s repair regulations in order to avoid any subsequent damage or injuries. Bagjump shall at its option, repair or replace defective products. If despite Bagjump’s reasonable efforts, a non-conforming Object of Purchase or component cannot be repaired or replaced, Bagjump shall refund or credit monies paid by Buyer for such non-conforming product. Warranty repair, or replacement by Bagjump shall not extend or renew the applicable warranty period.
c) Manufacturer’s warranty shall be given for a duration of 2 years. This covers all clear manufacturing or material defects. Wear on replaceable wear-and-tear items (such as air pillars, topsheets, etc.) as well as mechanical damages due to excessive force or use outside the intended purpose are subject to evaluation by Bagjump and may not be covered under warranty.
d) Buyer shall immediately notify Bagjump of any defects in the Object of Purchase in writing. In case of the occurrence of any defects, Buyer shall immediately stop using the Object of Purchase in order to avoid any injuries resulting therefrom. Only a product doubtlessly free of defects may be used by the Buyer. Buyer is not authorized to cure defects himself or to assign such cure to a third party without written approval by Bagjump. Shipping costs to transport the Object of Purchase to the workshop of Bagjump are initially paid by Buyer. In case of a justified warranty claim, the shipping costs back to the Buyer’s facility are paid by Bagjump. Should it be possible to repair the Object of Purchase immediately and on-site, the transportation costs and travel expenses for the personnel of Bagjump are paid by Buyer. In case the warranty claim is justified, then the transportation costs and travel expenses shall be paid by Bagjump. Should no warranty claim exist after inspection by Bagjump, all repair fees are charged to the Buyer. Upon arrival at the repair shop of Bagjump, a repair period of up to 6 weeks may be required.
e) Warranty shall be null and void and Bagjump shall be released from all liabilities as to any Object of Purchase in the event that Buyer performs any modifications to Bagjump product(s) using any components that are not manufactured or approved by Bagjump.
6. Bagjump’s Obligations
a) In the case of a self-installation by Buyer Bagjump shall provide Buyer an Installation Manual that gives written and visual instructions for every step of self-installing the Object of Purchase by Buyer.
b) Bagjump shall provide to Buyer an Operations Manual („OP Manual“) together with the Object of Purchase.
7. Buyer’s Obligations
a) Buyer confirms to have been informed by Bagjump, that injuries in connection with the Object of Purchase cannot be completely avoided and that due to the inherent nature of its use, a residual risk remains. Any use, including short-term use, or insignificantly altered use of the Object of Purchase without adequate compliance with the extensive security provisions provided by Bagjump may result in serious and severe injuries and may result even in fatalities.
b) With every purchase Bagjump provides an OP Manual that explains the correct mode of installation, the basic risk of using the product, and which details the ideal use conditions, as well as warnings with respect to the dangers of improper use. In order to prevent personal injuries, Bagjump furnishes information on how to handle, install, and maintain the products by way of its OP Manual. Buyer agrees to comply with Bagjump’s instructions on product safety and proper installation, operation, storage, and maintenance of Bagjump ‘s products contained therein. It is the sole responsibility of the Buyer of any product sold by Bagjump to obtain proper instruction from the OP Manual and to always act safely, prudently and with caution while using our products. The warranties will only remain in effect if Buyer, and through the Buyer comply with the instructions set forth in the OP Manual. Buyer agrees to review the OP Manual as well as all applicable product information mentioned therein, to refer all persons handling Bagjump’s products to such product information.
c) It is the sole responsibility of Buyer to exercise ordinary care, to use protection measures, and to manage and supervise the protection of the Object of Purchase from accidental damage, abuse, or misuse. Bagjump assumes no responsibility for a product that is damaged due to improper handling or inadequate handling of such product. We provide guidelines for protection of products once installation is complete.
Before each use
i) Buyer undertakes to verify that with respect to the Object of Purchase, no defects exist, and check the functional efficiency of the product, making proper notation in the log-book as prescribed in the OP Manual. Buyer agrees not to use the Object of Purchase should only the slightest defect be found during daily checks or, respectively, should there be the slightest doubt concerning freedom from defects.
ii) The location of use has to be checked for its suitability before each use, in compliance with the guidelines contained in the OP Manual.
iii) Buyer agrees to service the Object of Purchase at regular intervals. Details are contained in the OP Manual.
iv) The continuous electricity supply of the blowers shall be regularly checked in order to avoid a decrease in pressure. The hardness or respectively the softness of the Object of Purchase may be set, using the blowers and the air outlet valves. Buyer shall assure that the softness is correctly adjusted and that this is maintained over a period of three minutes in order to avoid fluctuations, before the Object of Purchase is used. The setting of the softness may require repeated manipulation by trained staff and readjustments may be necessary. The softness setting of the product may be taken from the OP-Manual and is explained in detail during the product training. During the operation, the product and its characteristics, electricity supply and similar factors as outlined in the OP Manual need to be checked and safeguarded.
v) The maximum drop height into the Object of Purchase as well as the age and weight restrictions of its users must be taken from the OP-Manual. Non-compliance with these restrictions may increase the risk of serious injuries and death. Any industry or local standard needs to be followed- even if OP Manual states a higher fall height.
d) Buyer will comply with all applicable laws and regulations including, without limitation, all applicable laws and regulations of the United States of America, and the state, county and city in which the Object of Purchase is used, as pertaining to such products.
e) Buyer shall furnish visible signage within 5 feet of where the Object of Purchase is installed, advising its guests that there are inherent and other risks associated with the use of or participation in or on any recreational facilities located at Buyer’s site.
