  1. Offer and confirmation of order
    • Pufin ID offers are only binding for 30 days calculated from the date the offer is given. Pufin ID offers are automatically terminated upon expiration of the offer. Furthermore, Pufin ID offers can be terminated if a certain delivery is sold out or if the terms and conditions are changed by e.g. a subcontractor.

    • The Customer can only claim the rights in these terms and conditions or in an individual agreement between the parties. Information given by Pufin ID orally, on the internet, in brochures etc. is therefore without relevance for the assessment of the delivery.
    • A Pufin ID offer is not binding until both parties have signed the offer and the signed offer has been exchanged between Pufin ID and the Customer. If the offer has expired before a counter-signed copy has been exchanged between Pufin ID and the Customer, the offer is not binding.

    • If a Deliverable by Pufin is delayed, the Customer may request delivery in writing and fix an additional, reasonable time limit (of not less than 20 business days) for delivery. If delivery is not made within such time limit, the Customer may cancel the order only with respect to the delayed part of the Deliverable(s).

Changes in exchange rates, taxes, insurance, shipping, and purchase costs give the Seller the right to adjust the price of the offer.
  4. Payment
    • Pufin ID’s payment terms are 30 days from the date of invoice, unless there is a written agreement stating otherwise.
    • If the Customer does not pay within the last valid day of the payment period, and this is not due to Pufin ID related circumstances, then Pufin ID has the right to claim default interest from the respective day when payment was due in accordance with the provisions of the Danish Interest Act.
