1 - ENFORCEABILITY
The General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter the "GTCS") represent the basis of the commercial negotiation with the Purchaser and govern all sales entered into by MANITOU ASIA PTE LTD (hereinafter the “Seller”) with purchaser(s) (hereinafter the “Purchaser”), except if categorical terms and conditions established by the Seller for a specific category of purchasers of Product apply. Any order, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing in special conditions between Seller and Buyer, automatically entails the full and unreserved acceptance by the Purchaser of these GTCS. Other documents such as catalogues, commercial information issued by the Seller are for information purposes only. Likewise, no general
or special purchase conditions of the Purchaser may, nless accepted by the Seller in writing, prevail over the
GTCS. Any contrary condition proposed by the Purchaser will therefore be, unless explicitly accepted,
unenforceable against the Seller, irrespective of when it has come to its attention r. Failure or delay by the Seller to exercise on one occasion all or part of its rights under these GTCS shall not be interpreted as constituting a waiver of the right to enforce said rights in the future.

2 – ORDERS
Orders must be sent via the Seller's portal or, if access is not possible, by other means made available by the Seller. Orders must detail the type of order, exact reference, designation, and quantity ordered for each Product. Spare Parts orders must be accepted in writing by Seller (hereinafter "Order Acknowledgement" or "OA"). After Seller’s issuance of such OA, the Spare Parts order shall be firm and final. Any order for Equipment and/or Attachments is not binding on the parties until Seller confirms the price by issuing an OA in accordance with Article 9 "Prices" and provided the Purchaser has not waived its order upon expiry of the time period indicated. Thus, the parties are deemed to have agreed on the goods and the price and the sale is therefore firm and final. Any modification, in whole or in part, to a firm order must be validated in writing by the Seller and may lead to a modification of the estimated delivery times and/or prices as indicated on the AO.

3 - DELIVERY
Partial delivery is allowed. Delivery times are estimate only and non-binding upon Seller. Late delivery times does not entitle the Purchaser to damages, penalties or price reduction, or to any price withholding or the cancellation of the order. However, as an exception to the above provisions, if the parties agree in writing on penalties for late delivery, it is agreed by the parties and expressly accepted by the Purchaser that this penalty amount is fixed, final and in full discharge of liabilities, and shall in no event exceed the actual and justified losses which may be claimed by the Purchaser. If, four months after the indicative delivery date followed by a formal notice that has remained unsuccessful after a period of one month, the Product has not been delivered for any reason other than an event of force majeure or a failure of performance by the Purchaser of its obligations, the sale may then be cancelled at the request of the Purchaser, to the exclusion of any sanction for the Seller. If a deposit has been paid, the Purchaser may obtain a refund. In any case, delivery of the Products may only take place if the Purchaser is up to date with its contractual obligations. The Seller shall not be liable nor deemed to have breached its obligation to deliver the Products in the event of force majeure. A force majeure event is any event beyond the control of the Seller, which could not have been reasonably expected at the time of the agreement, and whose effects cannot be avoided by appropriate measures and which prevents the performance of the seller’s obligations, including but not limited to war, riot, fire, internal or external strikes, flooding, breakdown, total or partial prohibition by national or international administrative authorities, the restriction of production, the impossibility to obtain supplies, etc..

Management of PD related to Connected Machines: The Seller may equip the Equipment with sensor devices used to collect data on the Equipment (such as technical data, geolocation, etc.).

The Purchaser must provide clear, intelligible and easily accessible information to the persons affected by the processing. The burden of proof of the legal basis remains with the data controller. The Purchaser shall inform its customers and ensure that the data can be passed on to the Seller or any other company of its group and undertakes to transfer it or allow access to it to the Seller or any other company of its group upon request.

This clause shall apply even in the event of interim proceedings, incidental claims or multiple defendants or warranty claims, and regardless of the form and payment terms, and the clauses attributing jurisdiction that may be established in the
documents of the Purchaser will not be able to impede the application of this clause.
