No reliance: Nothing on this Website constitutes a contractual specification, a representation of current product conformance, or a safety instruction for a specific application. Users must not rely on Website content as a substitute for current Technical Data Sheets (TDS), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), or written specifications issued under an applicable sale contract. CHIMI ART accepts no liability for any decision made or action taken on the basis of Website information.

CHIMI ART grants users a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view this Website for the purpose of obtaining general information about our products and services. This license may be revoked at any time without notice.

2. Product Information

While CHIMI ART endeavors to keep product specifications, pricing, and availability information current, such information is subject to change. Changes apply prospectively only and do not affect confirmed orders already accepted by CHIMI ART in writing.

Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) available on this Website are provided for general reference. They may not reflect the most current version applicable to a specific product batch or order. Users must request the current TDS and SDS from CHIMI ART's technical team before use in any application. In all cases, the TDS and SDS issued with or referenced in a specific sale contract supersede any version published on this Website.

Pricing indicated on this Website, where shown, is indicative only and does not constitute a binding offer. Binding pricing is confirmed only in a written quotation or order confirmation issued by CHIMI ART.

3. Quotations, Orders, and Contract Formation

Online quote requests, sample requests, and any other inquiries submitted through this Website are non-binding inquiries only and do not constitute an offer or a binding contract.

A binding contract for the sale of CHIMI ART products is formed only upon CHIMI ART issuing a written Order Confirmation to the buyer. Until a written Order Confirmation is issued, no order is binding on CHIMI ART regardless of any prior communications, price discussions, or expressions of intent.

All orders are subject to CHIMI ART's Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale in effect at the date of the Order Confirmation. A copy of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale is available upon request prior to placing any order. By placing an order, the buyer confirms they have received and accepted those Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Pricing is provided on a per-inquiry basis and may vary by product, grade, volume, packaging, destination, and prevailing raw material costs. No price communicated on this Website or in a preliminary discussion constitutes a firm offer.

THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THIS WEBSITE IS MADE AVAILABLE "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. CHIMI ART EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO WEBSITE CONTENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CHIMI ART SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF, OR RELIANCE ON, INFORMATION PUBLISHED ON THIS WEBSITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PERSONAL INJURY, EVEN IF CHIMI ART HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

5.2 Chemical Product Use

Chemical products must be handled, stored, and used strictly in accordance with the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and all applicable laws and regulations. Failure to follow SDS instructions may result in serious injury, death, property damage, or environmental harm. Users are solely responsible for determining the suitability of any CHIMI ART product for their intended application and for ensuring compliance with all applicable health, safety, and environmental regulations.

5.3 Product Liability

CHIMI ART's liability with respect to products sold is governed exclusively by the Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale applicable to the relevant sale contract and, where applicable, the warranty provisions in Section 10 of these Terms to the extent they apply in the absence of a written sale contract. Nothing in this Section 5 limits or modifies any liability cap or warranty limitation set out in an executed sale contract.

6. Minimum Order Quantities

Orders for CHIMI ART products are subject to minimum order quantities (MOQs). The following are indicative default MOQs; binding MOQs applicable to a specific order are those stated in the applicable written quotation or Order Confirmation:

Liquid products (drums): minimum 1 pallet (4 drums / 800 L)
IBC containers: minimum 1 IBC (1,000 L)
Bulk tanker deliveries: minimum 20 metric tonnes
Powder products: minimum 1 pallet (40 bags × 25 kg = 1,000 kg)

Minimum order quantities may be waived for first-time trial orders at CHIMI ART's sole discretion. Current MOQs applicable to a specific product and destination are confirmed in each written quotation.

7. Payment Terms

Payment terms applicable to a specific order are agreed and confirmed exclusively in the applicable written quotation or Order Confirmation issued by CHIMI ART, subject to CHIMI ART's credit assessment. Payment terms are not published generally on this Website.

All invoices are denominated in USD or EUR unless otherwise agreed in writing in the applicable sale contract.

8. Shipping and Delivery Terms

All shipments from CHIMI ART are governed by the Incoterms® 2020 rules published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Applicable delivery terms for each shipment are confirmed in the Order Confirmation.

Standard delivery terms available from CHIMI ART include:

EXW (Ex Works) — 6th of October City, Egypt: Goods are made available at CHIMI ART's warehouse; the buyer assumes all risk, cost, and responsibility for loading, export formalities (including obtaining all Egyptian export licenses and permits), transportation, and insurance from that point. Buyers are responsible for ensuring compliance with Egyptian export regulations.
FOB (Free on Board) — Port of Alexandria or Port of Damietta, Egypt: Risk of loss or damage to the goods transfers to the buyer when the goods are placed on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the named Egyptian port of loading. Buyers are responsible for marine cargo insurance from the point of FOB risk transfer.
CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) — Named Destination Port: CHIMI ART arranges and pays for freight and marine insurance to the named port of destination. Risk transfers to the buyer when the goods are placed on board the vessel at the port of shipment.

All stated delivery dates and lead times are estimates only. Time is not of the essence with respect to delivery dates, and CHIMI ART shall not be liable for losses arising from delivery delays unless caused by CHIMI ART's gross negligence or willful misconduct. CHIMI ART shall not be liable for delays caused by force majeure events (see Section 9), port congestion, carrier failure, or customs clearance delays.

9. Force Majeure

Neither CHIMI ART nor the buyer shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance of obligations under a sale contract or these Terms to the extent such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond that party's reasonable control ("Force Majeure Event").

Force Majeure Events include but are not limited to:

Shortages of, or material price spikes in, chemical precursors or raw materials (including sulfuric acid, bauxite, and iron ore);
Government export restrictions, import bans, sanctions, trade embargoes, or customs actions affecting the products or their components;
Disruption to the Suez Canal, major international shipping routes, or port operations;
Natural disasters, floods, fires, earthquakes, or extreme weather events;
Epidemics, pandemics, or quarantine restrictions declared by competent public health authorities;
Power outages, utility failures, or infrastructure disruptions at manufacturing or storage facilities;
Labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, or civil unrest (whether or not involving CHIMI ART's own workforce); and
Regulatory changes requiring reformulation, re-testing, or recertification of the products.

Notice: The party affected by a Force Majeure Event must notify the other party in writing (by email to the designated commercial contact on record, with confirmation requested) within seven (7) calendar days of becoming aware of the event. Notice must describe the event, its anticipated duration, and the affected obligations. The affected party must use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of the Force Majeure Event and resume performance as soon as practicable.

Allocation of costs for in-transit goods: If a Force Majeure Event occurs after goods have been placed in the custody of a carrier for shipment, risk and payment obligations are governed by the applicable Incoterms delivery term. Goods for which title and/or risk have already transferred to the buyer are for the buyer's account. Unshipped goods for which a Force Majeure Event prevents manufacture or delivery are subject to mutual agreement or cancellation without penalty as provided below.

Termination: If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than ninety (90) consecutive days and the parties have not agreed an alternative arrangement, either party may terminate the affected order(s) without penalty by providing written notice to the other. Termination under this clause does not affect obligations already performed or amounts already due.
