Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

The prices shown in the order are fixed prices (inclusive of VAT). Unless otherwise agreed, they include all expenses in connection with the goods and services to be provided by the Supplier. A single copy of the pertinent invoice is to be sent to Beiersdorf UK Ltd. (BDF) separately when the goods are delivered or within five (5) days of completion of the services stating BDF’s purchase order (PO) number and an exact list of the content and weight and all of the mandatory details required under applicable local tax regulations. Invoices with incorrect or missing details are generally not accepted and returned to the issuer for correction or amendment. Unless otherwise agreed, BDF shall make payment of undisputed invoices within sixty (60) days of receipt of the invoice. No payment made by BDF shall imply any acknowledgement that the delivery or performance is in accordance with the Contract. In the event of incorrect or incomplete delivery and/or performance, BDF shall - without prejudice to BDF’s other rights - be entitled to withhold a reasonable extent of payments towards claims arising out of the business relationship up until proper performance. Said rule shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event of set-off. The period allowed for payment shall on no account begin before the agreed delivery date. The receivables arising out of the contracts concluded with BDF may be assigned only with BDF’s written consent.
