Terms and conditions

Article 1

Sales are exclusively subject to the conditions stated below, resulting in every customer who places an order accepting and unconditionally agreeing to these terms.

The specified delivery period is purely indicative and does not bind the seller-supplier. Any delay in delivery, unless otherwise agreed in writing, cannot be the basis for any compensation, price reduction, suspension of payment, or cancellation of the order.

Goods are always accepted upon departure from the warehouses of the seller-supplier. They are shipped at the buyer's risk and expense, unless otherwise specified in writing.

Article 2

Orders placed by the buyer cannot be revoked or canceled, except by mutual agreement and with the seller's consent. In the event of a breach of the contract by the buyer, the seller reserves the right to demand compensation of at least 20% of the total agreed selling price.

Article 3

Any complaint regarding the delivery of goods is only admissible if communicated to the seller by registered letter within 8 days of delivery. Once this period has elapsed, the delivered goods are deemed definitively accepted, and complaints will no longer be considered.

Article 4

If a return shipment occurs without the agreement of the seller-supplier, and the seller is still obliged to accept the goods, such acceptance is always subject to all reservations of rights and at the buyer's expense. The shipment will then be stored at the buyer's expense and risk.

Article 5

Invoices are payable in cash on the invoice date unless otherwise specified (options may include payable in 30 or 60 days after the invoice date). In case of non-payment on the due date, a default interest of 12% per year will be automatically charged without any reminder.

In the event of non-timely payment of invoices within 15 days after the due date, the defaulting party will be obligated to pay a lump sum compensation of 20% of the invoice balance, with a minimum of 50.00 EUR and a maximum of 3,750.00 EUR, without further notice. Non-payment on the due date of a single invoice makes the due balance of all other, even non-due invoices, immediately payable by operation of law.

Article 6

If the buyer fails to fulfill its obligations, the sale may be dissolved automatically and without notice, without prejudice to the rights of the seller-supplier to claim damages and interest. A written notice of the seller-supplier via registered mail is sufficient for this purpose.

Article 7

If the confidence of the seller-supplier in the creditworthiness of the buyer is shaken by acts of judicial execution against the buyer and/or other events that question and/or make the good performance of the obligations undertaken by the buyer impossible, the seller-supplier reserves the right, even if the goods have already been fully or partially shipped, to suspend the entire order or part thereof and to demand suitable guarantees from the buyer. If the buyer refuses to comply, the seller-supplier reserves the right to cancel the entire order or part thereof, without prejudice to its rights to claim damages and interest.

Article 8

RESERVATION OF OWNERSHIP

The goods remain our property until full payment of the price. All risks are at the expense of the buyer. The paid advances remain acquired by the seller-supplier as compensation for possible losses upon resale.

Article 9

If the buyer resells the goods belonging to the seller-supplier, even processed, he hereby assigns to the seller-supplier from now on all claims arising from this resale.

Article 10

The drawing or acceptance of bills of exchange or other negotiable documents does not constitute debt renewal and does not deviate from the sales conditions.

Article 11

In case of dispute, the courts of Ghent or the courts of the buyer's place of residence, at the choice of the seller-supplier, shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
