We do not recognise conditions of the customer which contradict, differ from or are additional to our own, unless we have expressly consented to their validity in writing.

In case Customer is responsible for the breach of duty Customer shall indemnify Polyfab from any claim or title. In this case Customer shall indemnify Polyfab from the entire costs of defence or any other losses, damages, costs and expenses resulting from the claims asserted against seller by third parties as a result of the infringement of the above mentioned rights.
