3. Website information
The content on this website is provided for general business and informational purposes. It introduces GANS, our product categories, industries served, sourcing capabilities and related insights.
Although we take reasonable steps to keep website information accurate and current, product details, specifications, packaging, availability, origin, lead times and service capabilities may change without notice.
Website content should not be treated as technical, medical, financial, legal or other professional advice.
4. Product information
Product descriptions, photographs, illustrations, specifications and packaging shown on this website are indicative unless expressly confirmed by GANS in writing.
Colours, dimensions, labelling and other product characteristics may appear differently because of photography, screen settings, manufacturer changes or market-specific requirements.
Customers must confirm all important product requirements with GANS before placing an order, including:
- Product specifications and intended application.
- Quantities and packaging formats.
- Quality or performance requirements.
- Regulatory, certification and documentation requirements.
- Destination-country requirements.
- Delivery arrangements and lead times.
GANS does not warrant that every product displayed on the website is immediately available or suitable for every intended application.
5. Medical product information
Information concerning medical products, consumables or equipment is provided for general commercial purposes and is not medical advice.
Customers and professional users are responsible for confirming that a product is suitable for its intended clinical or operational application and that its purchase, importation, registration, use and distribution comply with applicable requirements.
Nothing on this website should replace the instructions of a manufacturer, qualified healthcare professional or relevant regulatory authority.
6. Enquiries, quotations and orders
Submitting an enquiry, requesting a call or asking for a quotation does not place an order or create a binding supply agreement.
Information displayed on this website is an invitation to make an enquiry and does not constitute a binding offer by GANS.
A commercial transaction will become binding only once it has been accepted by an authorised GANS representative in accordance with the applicable quotation, order confirmation, supply agreement or other written commercial terms.
Quotations may be subject to:
- Product availability.
- Minimum order quantities.
- Supplier confirmation.
- Currency movements.
- Freight and logistics charges.
- Taxes, duties and customs requirements.
- Credit approval or payment conditions.
- Applicable product and destination-country regulations.
- A stated quotation-validity period.
If these Website Terms conflict with an accepted quotation, order confirmation or signed agreement, the transaction-specific document will take precedence in relation to that transaction.
7. International trade and regulatory requirements
Products supplied by GANS may be subject to import, export, customs, sanctions, licensing, registration, labelling, safety or certification requirements.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, customers are responsible for determining whether a product may lawfully be imported, marketed, distributed or used in the destination country.
GANS may request information or documentation needed to perform compliance checks. We reserve the right to decline or suspend an enquiry or transaction where we reasonably believe that proceeding may breach a law, trade restriction, regulatory requirement or internal compliance obligation.

When you communicate with GANS electronically, you consent to receiving relevant responses and transaction-related communications electronically.
An email or other electronic message will not be treated as having been received by GANS merely because it has been sent. It must be capable of being retrieved and processed through our designated communication systems.
You are responsible for ensuring that the information supplied in an enquiry is accurate and that you have authority to communicate on behalf of the organisation you represent.

18. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as severed or limited to the minimum extent necessary.
The remaining provisions will continue to apply.
