General Terms & Conditions of Sale

These terms govern all quotations, order confirmations, deliveries and export supply of reinforcing steel, mesh, coils, wire rod and cut-and-bend products by Steel Pro Rebar Germany Gmbh (trading as Steel Rebar Germany).

Business-to-business supply only. Last updated: July 2026.

1.Scope & Definitions

These General Terms & Conditions of Sale (“Terms”) apply exclusively to commercial (B2B) transactions between Steel Pro Rebar Germany Gmbh (“Supplier”, “we”) and the purchasing company (“Buyer”). By placing an order the Buyer accepts these Terms in full. Any conflicting terms of the Buyer do not apply unless expressly agreed in writing. We do not sell to consumers.

2.Quotations & Order Acceptance

Quotations are non-binding and valid for the period stated on the quotation (typically 7–14 days), subject to prior sale and mill availability. A binding contract is formed only upon our written Order Confirmation / Proforma Invoice. Product images, dimensions and technical data are indicative; mill tolerances per the applicable standard apply.

3.Prices, Currency & Incoterms

Prices are quoted in EUR or USD as stated, exclusive of VAT/duties unless noted, and are based on the agreed Incoterms® 2020 rule (e.g. FOB, CFR or CIF named port). Prices reflect prevailing raw-material, mill and freight levels at the time of quotation and may be revised for orders not yet confirmed. The agreed Incoterms rule governs delivery, cost and risk allocation.

4.Payment Terms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is by irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight, T/T advance, or T/T against shipping documents. For export orders a deposit may be required to secure mill booking, with the balance due prior to shipment or per the L/C terms. Bank charges outside Austria are for the Buyer's account. Late payment entitles us to statutory default interest.

5.Minimum Order Quantity & Bulk Supply

We supply wholesale and export volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ) are typically container or truck-load based and are stated per product on the Order Confirmation. Mixed containers may be available by agreement. Quantity tolerances customary in the steel trade (±5–10%) apply and are invoiced on actual shipped weight per mill certificate.

6.Delivery, Shipment & Transfer of Risk

Lead times are estimated from receipt of cleared payment or a workable L/C and confirmed mill slot; they are not of the essence unless expressly agreed. Risk passes to the Buyer in accordance with the agreed Incoterms rule. Partial shipments are permitted. We are not liable for delays caused by mills, carriers, port congestion, inspection authorities or customs.

7.Product Standards, Quality & Mill Test Certificates

Products are supplied mill-certified to the ordered standard — e.g. BS 4449:2005 Grade B500B, ASTM A615 Gr60/Gr75, ISO 6935, or DIN/EN equivalents. Each shipment is accompanied by a Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1). Where third-party inspection (e.g. SGS, BV, Intertek) is required, it is arranged at the Buyer's request and cost unless otherwise agreed.

8.Inspection, Claims & Non-Conformity

The Buyer must inspect goods on arrival and notify any visible shortage or damage to the carrier and to us in writing within 7 days of discharge, and any hidden defect within 14 days of discovery. Claims must quote the Order Confirmation and heat/certificate number and be supported by evidence. No goods may be returned without our prior written authorisation.

9.Warranty & Limitation of Liability

We warrant that goods conform to the agreed specification and mill certificate at the point risk passes. This is the Buyer's sole remedy. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability is limited to the invoice value of the non-conforming goods; we are not liable for indirect, consequential, or loss-of-profit damages. Nothing limits liability that cannot be excluded by law.

10.Retention of Title

Goods remain our property until full payment of all sums due has been received. Until then the Buyer holds the goods as bailee and must keep them identifiable and insured. This does not affect the passing of risk under the agreed Incoterms rule.

11.Force Majeure

We are not liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including mill breakdown, raw-material shortage, strikes, war, sanctions, export/import restrictions, extreme weather, or transport and port disruption. Affected obligations are suspended for the duration of the event.

12.Confidentiality & Data Protection

Commercial terms, pricing and contract details are confidential between the parties. Personal data provided in the course of business is processed only to perform the contract, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

13.Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) unless expressly adopted. The competent courts at our registered seat have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions.
