As an exception to the above terms, Gamavuoto GmbH also reserves the right to deliver orders with a lower amount, provided that they reach the minimum invoiced amount in the commercial month. In exceptional cases, if the minimum invoiced amount cannot be reached, Gamavuoto GmbH will deliver orders with a lower amount only if this has been previously agreed with its Sales Department (RUC).
