3.1 The Seller reserves all rights, including copyrights, in any and all documents relating to the Proposal. Such documents may not be made available in any manner to third parties without the prior written permission of the Seller and are, if the Goods are not purchased, to be returned immediately upon the request of the Seller.
3.2 Any intellectual property arising in relation to the Goods, including from developments, inventive steps or designs in relation to the construction of the Goods remain the intellectual property of the Seller and may not be made available in any manner to any third party or utilised in any manner by the Buyer or their agents for their own benefit (other than to facilitate use of the Goods supplied by the Seller or incorporation of the Goods into the Buyer’s product), unless and to the extent agreed by the Seller in writing.
 

3.3 The Buyer is obligated to observe strict confidentiality of information connected with the Proposal, even if no order for the Goods is placed.

4.1 The prices quoted are based on Government taxes and regulations in force, at the date of this Proposal and such prices are subject to change in accordance with any changes in taxes and regulations made prior to delivery of the Goods.
