General Terms of Trade
These terms summarise how we do business. They apply unless a signed contract between the parties provides otherwise.
1. Scope
Busel Commerce House W.L.L ("Seller") supplies goods exclusively to legal entities and entrepreneurs for business purposes (B2B). Information on this website is an invitation to request a quotation and does not constitute a binding offer.
2. Quotations and orders
- Quotations are issued in writing as a proforma invoice and are valid for the period stated therein (usually 7–14 days), subject to prior sale.
- A contract is concluded when the Buyer confirms the proforma invoice in writing and, where an advance payment is agreed, when the advance is received.
- Product descriptions, part numbers and quantities are as stated in the proforma invoice. Manufacturer brands are supplied as original products from the manufacturer or its authorised distributors; the Seller is not an official distributor unless expressly stated in the contract.
3. Prices and delivery basis
- Unless otherwise agreed, prices are quoted EXW (Incoterms 2020) from the consolidation warehouse named in the proforma invoice (Hamburg, Ningbo or Singapore).
- On request the Seller quotes FOB port of loading or CIF/CFR port of destination. Freight, insurance, export packing and any certificates are shown as separate lines.
- Prices are expressed in USD, EUR or BHD as stated in the quotation and exclude import duties, VAT and charges at destination.
4. Payment
- Standard terms: advance payment of 30–50% on order confirmation and the balance before shipment (before release of the transport document).
- Deferred payment of up to 90 days may be granted to established partners after credit assessment.
- Payments are made by bank transfer to the account stated on the proforma invoice. Bank charges outside Bahrain are borne by the Buyer.
- Title to the goods passes to the Buyer upon receipt of full payment.
5. Delivery and lead times
Lead times stated in quotations are estimates based on manufacturer availability and carrier schedules. The Seller informs the Buyer of the planned shipment date and provides the transport document and tracking details. Risk passes in accordance with the agreed Incoterms rule.
6. Documents
Each consignment is accompanied by a commercial invoice, packing list and transport document (bill of lading, air waybill or CMR). Certificates of origin, quality certificates and copies of supplier invoices are provided where agreed or required by the importer or its bank.
7. Inspection and claims
The Buyer inspects the goods upon receipt. Claims regarding quantity or visible damage must be notified in writing within 7 days of receipt with photographs and a copy of the delivery documents; claims regarding hidden defects within the manufacturer's warranty period. The Seller's liability is limited to replacement of the defective goods or a credit note of their invoice value.
8. Compliance
The Buyer confirms that it is not subject to sanctions and that the goods will not be re-exported in breach of applicable export-control or sanctions laws. The Seller may suspend performance where a transaction cannot be completed in compliance with applicable law or bank requirements.
9. Governing law and disputes
Unless otherwise agreed in the contract, these terms and each contract are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The parties will seek an amicable settlement of any dispute; failing that, disputes are submitted to the competent courts of the Kingdom of Bahrain or to arbitration as specified in the contract.
