General Purchase Conditions
This document has been drafted in both Spanish and English. The English version is provided for informational purposes only. In the event of any discrepancy, inconsistency, or difference in interpretation between both
versions, the Spanish version shall prevail for all purposes.
1. Orders

Laboratorios Silesia S.A. (hereinafter “Grünenthal”). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Supplier’s terms of sale, the Supplier acknowledges that acceptance of the purchase order issued by Grünenthal constitutes an express waiver of the Supplier’s terms of sale and an acceptance of the terms and conditions set forth herein.
1.2. A purchase order becomes final when the Supplier confirms it in writing within ten (10) days following its issuance. If confirmation is not sent within this period, Grünenthal may cancel the order. Additionally, any condition
included by the Supplier that contradicts these terms shall not be valid, unless there is a written agreement or contract establishing conditions different from those set forth in these terms and conditions.
2. Price, Invoicing and Payment

2.2. Unless otherwise agreed, the price includes the packaging required by Grünenthal and all costs, risks, and benefits associated with the execution of the order. No additional charges shall be accepted unless they have been previously agreed by Grünenthal and duly indicated in the order.
2.3. The Supplier shall submit invoices through the authorized channels for their receipt. The invoices must include: purchase order, quantity and description of the goods and/or services, date and reference of the shipping
document, and the detailed price.
2.4. The invoices must be accompanied by all required supporting documentation, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

invoice.
3. Packaging and Deliveries
3.1. The Supplier must properly package and mark the goods, following good commercial practices and ensuring their protection during loading, unloading, transportation,
and handling. It must also include instructions, identification, and shipment data. The Supplier shall be responsible for any damage or expense arising from incorrect packaging or

without prior written authorization from Grünenthal.

goods; upon expiration of this term, Grünenthal may return them at the Supplier’s expense.
6.2. Advance payment does not constitute acceptance of the goods and the lack of immediate rejection does not limit or affect the warranties granted by the Supplier.

7.1. Grünenthal shall only pay the quantities indicated in the respective Purchase Order. Quantities delivered in excess of 5% shall be at the Supplier’s risk and expense.
7.2. If, after ten (10) business days, the Supplier does not remove the excess, Grünenthal may return it at the Supplier’s expense.

16. Final Provisions
16.1 Should any of the clauses of this Agreement be changed or deemed null, void or unenforceable, either following the parties' written agreement or in conformity with
the law, these clauses shall be viewed as not being part hereof. This shall not prejudice the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
