General Terms and Privacy Policy

General Terms of Business of Centernorma d.o.o.

1. General Provisions

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts, offers, and orders concluded by Centernorma d.o.o. (hereinafter referred to as the “Supplier”) with its business partners (hereinafter referred to as the “Buyer”). Any special written agreements between the parties shall take precedence over the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.

The Terms and Conditions, as well as any subsequent amendments, shall take effect upon their publication on the website.

2. Scope of Business and Offer

The Supplier manufactures and supplies glued laminated timber and other semi-finished wood products made to order. Offers, catalogues, standard dimensions, and prices are for informational purposes only and become binding only upon written confirmation of the order by the Supplier.

3. Inquiry, Offer, and Order Confirmation

The Buyer submits an inquiry specifying the desired quantity, dimensions, quality, and delivery deadline. The Supplier issues an offer that is valid for five (5) working days from the date of issue, unless otherwise stated. A contract is deemed concluded once the Supplier has confirmed the Buyer’s order in writing. Any changes after confirmation are only possible with the mutual consent of both parties.

4. Prices and Payment Terms

All prices are expressed in EUR. Prices do not include transport costs unless explicitly agreed otherwise. Payment terms are defined in the offer. In the event of delayed payment, the Supplier reserves the right to charge statutory default interest and to suspend further deliveries until all outstanding obligations have been settled.

5. Delivery and Transport

Delivery times are approximate and depend on the availability of materials. Delivery will be carried out within the agreed period. The delivery period may be extended in cases of force majeure, disruptions in the supply of raw materials, or other unforeseen circumstances. The risk of damage or loss of goods passes to the Buyer on the date of dispatch.

6. Retention of Title

The goods remain the property of the Supplier until full payment of the purchase price has been made.

7. Quality, Acceptance, and Complaints

Complaints regarding quantity discrepancies or visible defects must be submitted by the Buyer within ten (10) days of receipt of the goods. Each complaint will be handled individually, taking into account the characteristics of the order and the product. Due to the natural properties of wood and different production specifications, the resolution shall be determined in agreement with the Buyer and based on the Supplier’s professional assessment.

8. Withdrawal from Contract / Order Cancellation

The Buyer has no right to unilaterally withdraw from the contract after order confirmation. In the event of order cancellation after confirmation, the Buyer shall be obliged to reimburse all costs already incurred for production and material preparation. Each order is handled individually; withdrawal is only possible upon mutual agreement of both parties.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

The contractual relationship is governed by the laws of the Republic of Slovenia. All disputes arising from these Terms and Conditions shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent court in Slovenj Gradec. Both parties shall endeavour to resolve any disputes amicably.

4. Purposes and legal bases for processing

Processing based on a contract: In exercising contractual rights and fulfilling contractual obligations, the company processes your personal data for the following purposes: identification of the individual, preparation of an offer, conclusion of a contract, provision of ordered services, notifications about possible changes, additional details and instructions for using the services, resolution of potential technical issues, objections or complaints, invoicing of services, and other purposes necessary for performing or concluding the contractual relationship between the company and the individual.

For the purpose of invoicing services, based on tax regulations, we also obtain and process your address to issue a correct invoice.

Processing based on law/legitimate interest: On the basis of legitimate interest, we use your personal data to detect and prevent fraudulent use and abuse of services, to ensure stable and secure operation of our systems and services, to implement information security measures, to meet quality-of-service requirements, and to detect technical failures of systems and services.

On the basis of legitimate interest, we also use your personal data for possible enforcement, judicial and extrajudicial recovery.

In accordance with the GDPR, in case of suspected abuse the company may, to an appropriate and proportionate extent, process data about individuals for the purpose of identifying and preventing possible fraud or abuse and, where appropriate, share such data with other providers of such services, business partners, the police, the public prosecutor, or other competent authorities.

For the purpose of preventing future abuses or fraud, data on the history of identified abuses or fraud in connection with an individual, including data on the subscriber relationship and, for example, the IP address, may be stored for five years after termination of the business relationship.

Processing based on consent: Data processing may also be based on your consent provided to the company.

Consent may, for example, relate to receiving information about offers, benefits, and service improvements provided by the company. The purpose of such notifications is to tailor services to your needs and wishes and thus increase their value for you. Notifications are sent through the channels you selected in your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time, in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy.

Withdrawal or change of consent applies only to data processed on the basis of your consent. The valid version is the most recent consent you have provided. The possibility of withdrawing consent does not constitute a termination right within the business relationship between the individual and the company.

Data for which you have given consent will, in the absence of withdrawal, be processed for up to two years after termination of the business relationship with the company.

5. Restrictions on disclosure of personal data

If necessary, we authorise other companies or individuals to perform certain tasks that contribute to our services. In such cases, the company may disclose personal data to carefully selected external processors who will conclude a data processing agreement or a substantively equivalent arrangement or other binding document with the company (hereinafter: “Data Processing Agreement”).

External processors will receive or be granted access to such data only to the extent required for the specific purpose. They may not use the data for any other purpose and must meet at least the minimum standards of personal data processing required by applicable legislation.

External processors are contractually bound to the company to respect the confidentiality of your personal data.

6. Retention period

The retention period depends on the category of data. We store data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected or further processed, or until the expiry of limitation periods for the fulfilment of obligations or the statutory retention period.

Billing data and related contact data of individuals may be retained for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations until the service is paid in full, or at the latest until the expiry of limitation periods relating to a particular claim, which under law may range from one to five years. Invoices are retained for 10 years after the end of the year to which the invoice relates, in accordance with VAT legislation.

Other data obtained on the basis of your consent are retained for the duration of the business relationship and for two years after its termination, unless a longer retention period is prescribed by law.

If an individual who has given consent has not entered into a business relationship with us, the consent is valid for two years from its submission or until it is withdrawn.

Upon expiry of the retention period, data are deleted, destroyed, blocked, or anonymised, unless otherwise provided by law for a particular category of data.
