03 — A commercially complete offerDELIVERY BASIS / PAYMENT / VALIDITY / CONFORMITY / ORDER SIZE
Delivery basis
Prices are stated under Incoterms 2020, normally FCA, CIF or DAP where appropriate, against the named place supplied by the buyer. The selected basis is written into the offer and contract.
Payment and currency
Payment terms and currency are agreed for each transaction and stated in the written offer. Payments follow the parties named in the relevant contracts.
Offer validity
Every firm offer states its own validity period. After that date, FORET reissues the price and terms before acceptance.
Conformity and warranty
FORET answers for conformity as the seller named on the invoice under the sale contract. Any manufacturer warranty is passed through in addition to the remedies written into that contract.
Order size
FORET has no single published minimum order. Each requirement is assessed on whether it can be completed as a documented wholesale supply.

- FORET price, currency, Incoterm and offer validity
- Lead-time basis and supply assumptions
- Available documents and evidence

Fixed in the written offer
The selected product, supplier status, price, currency, Incoterm, validity and available document basis are stated as confirmed terms.
Decision still required
Open decisions may concern final configuration, quantity breaks, packing, acceptance, delivery scope or a document that still requires your approval.
Outside the quoted scope
Excluded items and assumptions are identified separately so they cannot be mistaken for part of the quoted supply.
