Risk of loss or damage passes to the Client once the installation is completed and the acceptance certificate (“Handover Form”) is signed.

Article 3 – Prices and Payments

3.1 Price

The Price stated in the Quotation is binding once the Agreement is signed. Obvious clerical or calculation errors may be corrected.

3.2 Payment Terms

Payments are due as per the payment schedule stated in the Quotation or invoice, generally within 15 days of invoice date.

Late payments shall incur statutory or reasonable commercial interest and collection costs. The Contractor may suspend delivery or installation until payment is received.

In case of default, insolvency, or non-payment, the Contractor may remove and reclaim the Products without court intervention. The Client must grant access for such recovery.

5.1 Access and Preparation

The Client shall provide safe access to the site, suitable structural surfaces for installation, and sufficient electrical capacity.

Article 10 – Termination

Solar Heroes may terminate the Agreement immediately if the Client:

• fails to meet payment or contractual obligations,
• becomes insolvent or bankrupt, or
• engages in fraudulent or unsafe activities related to the installation.

Termination shall not relieve the Client from payment obligations for Products or Services already delivered.

Personal data will never be sold or shared with unauthorized third parties.

Article 12 – Assignment

Solar Heroes may assign or subcontract rights or obligations under this Agreement to qualified third parties.

The Client may not transfer the Agreement without prior written consent.

Article 13 – Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by general principles of international commercial law.

In the event of a dispute, both parties will first attempt to resolve it amicably.

If unresolved, disputes shall be settled by arbitration under UNCITRAL Rules or by the competent court in the Contractor’s country of registration.

Article 14 – Miscellaneous and Additional Provisions

If any clause of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.

The Contractor may publish updated Terms, which will apply to future transactions.
