Eckert & Ziegler Chemotrade GmbH - Benrather Schlossallee 2a - 40597 Düsseldorf

Today Chemotrade looks back onto the history of the company.

Chemotrade was founded in 1992 in Düsseldorf, focusing on the distribution of Radioisotopes and Stable Isotope. Based on the profound market knowledge of its founders and employees, the company quickly developed into a household name within the market for isotopes.

At the beginning, Chemotrade focused on supplying Isotopes made in Russia in bulk, but to strengthen its market position, the company acquired Isocommerz. This new acquisition manifested itself in the companies’ subsidiary - Chemotrade Leipzig.

Isonics Corporation takeover of Chemotrade Düsseldorf in 1998 resulted in the division of Chemotrade Leipzig in 2002.

In 2006, Chemotrade Leipzig and Düsseldorf merged again allowing the company to maintain its expertise and making it a significant player in the market of Isotopes for more than 25 years.

The development of our radioactive isotopes business has been very positive and therefore has required our entire attention. Consequently in 2010 we decided to manage all business activities from Düsseldorf & stopped the distribution of “light isotopes” (except 15-N) resulting in the closure of our Leipzig offices.

Since 2013 we belong to Eckert & Ziegler* Group, with around 800 employees one of the world’s largest providers of isotope-related components for radiotherapy and nuclear medicine.

The customer must send the objection to the Company within six (6) weeks of the notification of amendment.
(3) Deviating terms and conditions of the customer are hereby objected to; these are also not deemed to be accepted during execution of the agreement. Sentence 1 also applies to possible provisions on contractual penalties.

3 DELIVERY AND SHIPPING CONDITIONS

(1) Dates and deadlines for deliveries and services are to be regarded as approximate only unless such have been agreed upon in writing. With regard to the start date of deadlines for deliveries and services, the date of the order confirmation of the Company or the receipt of payment in cases where the customer is obliged to issue advance payment shall prevail. If fixed delivery dates are agreed upon, the Company hereby objects to provisions of the customer regarding possible contractual penalties in the case of non-compliance with the delivery date.
(2) The customer must ensure that the acceptance of goods is performed by an authorized recipient according to the current valid legal provisions, including as per the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
(3) To the extent permitted by law: Deliveries and services of the Company are subject to relevant national and international export control regulations. The customer thus undertakes to (a) comply with all applicable trade sanctions, executive orders, regulations, embargoes, export control laws and restrictions imposed by the Federal Republic of Germany, the United States of America and/or the European Union and/or the United Nations (together "Export Regulations"), concerning goods (hardware and/or software and/or technology and related documents, regardless of the manner in which they are provided) or services manufactured and/or supplied by the Company or its affiliates or subcontractors; (b) to obtain the pertinent export authorization or to make the export declarations required under applicable law and/or governmental regulations before the Company exports or re-exports goods or parts thereof (collectively "Export Authorization"); and (c) to fully indemnify the Company from all claims asserted against the Company by authorities or other third parties due to the Customer's failure to comply with the Export Regulations and to reimburse the Company for all damages and expenses incurred in this connection. The contractually agreed services of the Company and each delivery of the goods or parts thereof are subject to the strict condition of full compliance with the Export Regulations and the obtaining of the Export Authorization. Delays due to export inspections or licensing procedures will suspend deadlines and delivery times. If at any time the goods, services or technologies manufactured, purchased, provided or delivered in accordance with the order confirmation may not be delivered in compliance with the applicable Export Regulations or the required Export Authorizations, the Company will refrain from delivering the goods. In such case, the Company may cancel the relevant order and/or delivery without liability. In particular, the Company is entitled to refrain from delivering the goods to a destination, country or person directly or indirectly prohibited by Export Regulations. the Company will notify the customer of the decision not to deliver goods to countries subject to corresponding Export Regulations via all specific information. The customer will refrain from delivery to a destination, country or person directly or indirectly prohibited by Export Regulations. Claims for damages by the customer due to such delays, if they are not the responsibility of the Company, or such cancellation are excluded. The customer must comply with Export Regulations and obtain the necessary Export Authorization when passing on the goods supplied by the Company (hardware and/or software and/or technology as well as associated documents, irrespective of the way in which they are made available) or the services provided by the Company (including technical support of any kind) to third parties in Germany and abroad.
(4) If the delivery is delayed for reasons that the customer is responsible for, delayed acceptance and transfer of performance risk takes effect as soon as the Company informs the customer that the shipment is ready for delivery. the Company is entitled to invoice the customer for all incurred costs, e.g. related to storage. Sentence 2 also applies if the delivery is delayed because the necessary permission and/or proof of handling permit are not available.
(5) The customer is entitled to withdraw from the agreement pursuant to the statutory provisions only if the Company is responsible for the delay in delivery and the customer sets a reasonable deadline for delivery according to the legal provisions and the Company does not comply with this deadline. The right to withdraw from the agreement according to Sentence 1 is excluded if the customer is solely or predominately responsible for the circumstance that would entitle the customer to withdraw, or when the circumstance arises at a point in time at which the customer is in default of acceptance. Claims for damages are excluded in the above cases. the Company is obliged to notify the customer immediately in every event of lack of availability of deliveries and services.
(6) Excess or shortfalls in deliveries that are standard in the industry are permissible as far as a specific amount is not required. Partial deliveries are also permissible to a reasonable extent. In this context, each partial delivery is considered an independent legal transaction.
(7) Upon conclusion of the contract, the customer commissions the Company with shipment or transport of the goods on behalf of the customer. This does not apply if the customer objects in writing to the shipment/transport by the Company within one week of receipt of our order confirmation. In case of dispatch, delivery periods and dates refer to the time of handover to the forwarding agent, carrier or any other third party commissioned with the transport.
(8) The Incoterms 2020 agreed in the order confirmation apply. If the delivery is delayed for reasons that the customer is responsible for, the risk is transferred to the customer from the point at which the shipment is ready for dispatch.
(9) Packaging provided by the Company is to be used for shipping radioactive substances and other goods. The Company charges a usage fee if packaging on loan is used. The packaging on loan is to be returned to us within 30 day of shipment free of carriage charges to the address stipulated by the Company. If the loan duration as per Sentence 2 is extended, a loan fee will be charged for each month commenced. Returned packaging must be free of radioactive contamination. The customer is liable for all damages caused by improper handling or any decontamination expenses related to external contamination. Collection costs and additional costs incurred as a result of damages to the containers will be invoiced to the customer.
(10) Shipping takes place in accordance with the legal provisions regarding the transport of dangerous goods. the Company reserves the right to select the shipping route and mode of shipment. Incurred additional costs based on customer requests will be charged to the customer.

4 PRICES AND PAYMENT CONDITIONS

(1) The pricing for the agreed services is formed on the basis of our respective valid price list unless customer-specific price agreements exist. Our prices apply in accordance with Incoterms 2020. Prices are exclusive of the applicable value added tax (VAT). Costs for packaging, shipping, customs, transport and insurance costs, import and export taxes and other taxes will be charged separately.
(2) Remuneration is to be paid within 30 days of the invoice date without deductions unless otherwise agreed.
(3) The Company is entitled at any time, even within an ongoing business relationship, to make a delivery in whole or in part only against prepayment. The Company declares a corresponding reservation at the latest with the order confirmation.
(4) In the event of customer payment default, the Company is entitled to apply default interest at the statutory rate until payment has been made in full. The assertion of further claims for damages is hereby not excluded.
(5) Regardless of the customer’s provisions stating otherwise, the Company is entitled to first apply payments to the customer’s earlier debts. The customer is only entitled to exercise its rights of retention or to offset if its counterclaim has been legally established by a court of law, is uncontested or is recognized by the Company in writing. The assertion of rights of retention that is not based on the same contractual relationship is excluded.
(6) The customer’s payment obligation does not lapse if the goods cannot be delivered for reasons that the customer is responsible for and that are not subject to § 3 (3). This applies particularly in the case that documents which provide evidence of the authorization of the customer or of a third party supplied by the customer to receive the goods were not submitted to the Company or were not submitted in full or within the deadline.

5 RETENTION OF TITLE

(1) The Company reserves the right to retain ownership of the goods (“Retained Goods”) until the purchase price has been paid in full even if the goods are installed or passed on (extended retention of title). This also applies to all future deliveries, even if the Company does not explicitly refers to it again.
(2) In the event of customer payment default, the Company is entitled to prohibit the customer from using Retained Goods or to take them back. Taking back the goods represents a withdrawal from the agreement only if the Company expressly declares such in writing. Additional costs arising from taking back the goods will be invoiced to the customer. Additional costs within the meaning of Sentence 3 include costs related to verification of receipt, assessment or disposal.
(3) If the Retained Goods are processed by the customer, it is agreed that the processing is carried out in the name and for the account of the Company as manufacturer and the Company directly acquires ownership or, if the processing is made from materials of several owners or the value of the processed object is higher than the value of the Retained Goods, co-ownership of the newly created object in proportion to the value of the Retained Goods to the value of the newly created object. In the event that no such acquisition of ownership should occur at the seller, the customer transfers his future ownership or co-ownership of the newly created item to the Company as security.
(4) Retained Goods also include independent detachable installations or installations with special rights if Retained Goods are combined with items of the customer or a third party. If Retained Goods are combined with items that do not belong to the customer, or if the special rights are lost, the Company acquires joint ownership of the new item proportionate to the value of Retained Goods to the other combined items at the time of combination.
(5) If the customer is not in default, the customer is entitled to sell Retained Goods within the framework of ordinary business to third parties. The customer, however, assigns to the Company the claims to which it is entitled arising from the sale including all supplementary agreements. The customer is to ensure that the resulting claims are transferred to the Company. The customer is entitled to call in the surrendered claims in its own name and on its own account until revoked. Provided that the customer fulfills its payment obligations arising from the business relationship, the Company is not entitled to revoke this authorization. If the conditions for revocation exist and we have issued declaration of such, the customer is obliged to notify the Company of the unpaid claims and their debtors, to provide the information required for collection and to notify the debtor of the assignment without delay.
(6) If a third party gains access to Retained Goods, in particular by means of seizure of assets, the customer will notify the third party of the ownership by the Company of the Retained Goods and inform the Company without delay. The customer is not permitted to pledge or assign Retained Goods as security.
(7) The Company is entitled to withdraw from the contract and/or demand the return of the goods on the basis of the retention of title if the customer acts in breach of contract, in particular if the purchase price due is not paid. The demand for surrender does not also include the declaration of withdrawal; the Company is rather entitled to merely demand the surrender of the goods and to reserve the right of withdrawal. If the customer does not pay the purchase price due, the Company may only assert these rights if the customer has been set a reasonable deadline for payment without success or such a deadline is not required by law.

6 WARRANTY

(3) The above limitations of liability shall apply to the same extent in favor of the organs, legal representatives, employees and vicarious agents of the Company.

(5) Unless other limitation periods are mandatory under the law, the limitation period for liability claims against us is one (1) year, which commences upon the statutory start date of the limitation period. Claims for damages of the customer as well as claims according to the product liability law become time-barred after the legal limitation periods.

8 FORCE MAJEURE/CANCELLATION OF PERMITS

(1) In cases of force majeure, or other hindrances that are not foreseeable at the conclusion of the agreement or for which the Company is not responsible, which significantly impede or make it impossible to render delivery and services, and in the event that the duration of the hindrance is not temporary, the Company is entitled to withdraw from the agreement without penalty. In the event of temporary hindrance, the deadlines and dates of deliveries and services are extended or postponed by the duration of the hindrance plus an appropriate lead time. Cases of force majeure particularly include labor disputes, serious transportation disruptions or operational disruptions of any kind, difficulties in procuring materials, electricity, or deliveries from suppliers, governmental measures and natural disasters.

(3) If individual provisions of these Terms and Conditions are or become ineffective in part or in whole, the effectiveness of the other provisions shall remain unaffected. A legally effective provision that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose intended by the ineffective provision as far as legally permissible shall be deemed agreed upon to replace the ineffective provision or ineffective part of the provision. This also applies in the event of a loophole.
