Purchasing Terms
Standard purchasing terms for ACEL
Date: 21.05.2026
1. Scope
These standard purchasing terms govern all sales of goods and services to ACEL, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
In addition to the Norwegian Sale of Goods Act, the following shall apply:
2. Orders/purchase orders
Orders from ACEL are only valid when they identify the purchaser by name and address, and include an order number and project number.
3. Order confirmation
Every order shall be confirmed in writing, as soon as possible and no later than 2 days from the order date, but always before delivery, to the following email address: ordre@acel.no. Confirmations that do not correspond with ACEL’s purchasing terms shall clearly state the deviations. ACEL is free to maintain an order on amended terms.
The supplier’s standard terms are not accepted.
4. Price
The prices stated in the order are fixed. Unless otherwise stated in the order, the price shall be understood as exclusive of VAT. Only public and agreed fees are accepted. For delivery on account or orders without a price, ACEL reserves the right to require satisfactory documentation that the invoiced amount is reasonable.
5. Delivery terms
Where orders do not specify the delivery terms, the delivery shall be understood as delivered free to ACEL’s delivery address, DDP Incoterms® 2020. All delivery clauses shall be interpreted in accordance with the latest version of Incoterms. All shipments (order confirmations, packages, invoices, packing slips etc.) shall be clearly marked with the order number, project number and the purchaser’s name and address. Shipments that are not satisfactorily marked may be returned at the supplier’s expense.
6. Delivery
A delivery is not considered completed until all necessary documentation has been received by the specified recipient. If necessary to meet the delivery time, the supplier shall use the fastest possible means of transport and shall pay any additional costs. Delivery before the stated delivery date may be rejected without cost to ACEL. The seller shall pay liquidated damages of 2% of the total payment for the delivery for each week the delay lasts, limited to a maximum of 20% of the total amount.
7. Liability for indirect loss
Before taking delivery, ACEL reserves the right to carry out the inspections and tests deemed necessary to verify that the delivery complies with the order. The supplier is obliged to assist with such inspection. Any inspection certificates shall accompany the delivery.
If ACEL accepts the delivery after inspection, this does not release the supplier from full responsibility for the contractual performance of the delivery. ACEL is entitled to recover from the supplier costs relating to the return of deliveries that do not meet the requirements in specifications stated in or referred to in the order or agreed contract.
9. Warranty
All warranty repairs shall be carried out at ACEL (or ACEL’s customer) and at no cost to ACEL (or the customer).
10. Payment terms and invoicing
Invoices and packing slips shall only refer to one order number. If the delivery is in accordance with the order, payment will normally be made within 30 days after the end of the invoicing month. The payment period runs from the invoice date, but is postponed to the delivery date if the invoice date is set before delivery. In the event of early delivery, the payment period is calculated from the agreed delivery date. Invoices shall be issued when the goods are dispatched and sent to ACEL at the following email address: faktura.acel@acel.no. Invoices that do not correspond with the order will be returned.
11. Quality – progress follow-up
ACEL – our customer, or a person authorised by either of them – reserves the right of access regarding quality and/or progress follow-up at the supplier or its subcontractor.
12. Law and disputes
Norwegian law shall apply. Disputes that may arise in connection with ACEL’s order shall be sought resolved through negotiation. If negotiation does not succeed, the dispute shall be sought resolved by arbitration pursuant to the Norwegian Dispute Act of 1915, chapter 32. The legal venue is the location in Norway where the purchasing ACEL company is located. The fact that a dispute has been brought before arbitration does not release the parties from fulfilling their obligations under the agreement.
