GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE, DELIVERY, AND PAYMENT
Unless otherwise specified on the front of the invoice or order form and signed by the customer, the following terms and conditions apply and supersede all others.
2. Quotations and price offers are based on the current prices of labor, materials, and services. If these are subject to changes beyond the seller's control, the seller reserves the right to adjust prices proportionally. The customer has the right to terminate the agreement within eight days after being notified of the price change.
Any claim concerning delivery, conformity, and visible defects must be communicated to the seller within eight days of delivery and, in any case, before the goods are used or resold.
4. Any claim relating to the invoice must be sent to the seller in writing within eight days of the invoice date, indicating the invoice date and number.
5. All seller invoices are payable in cash, unless otherwise specified.
6. In the event of non-payment of the invoice within the prescribed period, late payment interest at the statutory rate shall be due as of the due date, automatically and without prior notice. In addition, a lump-sum penalty of 10% of the total invoice amount shall be due.
A fixed indemnity, identical to the one mentioned above, is due by the seller in case of late delivery, provided that it is not due to force majeure.
7. In the event of order cancellation, the buyer shall also be required to pay a lump-sum compensation of 10% of the order value, with a minimum of €50, without prejudice to any higher damages. If the agreement is canceled by the seller, equivalent damages shall be payable to the buyer.
As long as the delivered goods have not been paid for, they remain the property of the seller.
In case of dispute, the courts or the justice of the peace of the defendant's domicile, or the court of the place where the obligations arose, shall have sole territorial jurisdiction. Belgian law shall apply.
10. If the buyer does not collect the goods by the communicated date, the seller reserves the right, from the expiry of a period of 15 days, to consider the agreement terminated, without prior notice. The storage of goods awaiting delivery or collection shall be at the buyer's expense and risk.
11. Both parties may terminate the agreement, without compensation, in the event of impossibility of performance due to force majeure, strike, lockout, the other party's strike, among others.
12. The seller also reserves the right to consider the agreement terminated by full right and without prior notice in case of bankruptcy or notorious insolvency of the buyer.
13. All other collection costs related to non-payment are not included in the lump-sum indemnity and will be invoiced separately to the buyer.
14. If the seller commits to delivering services, one-third of the amount shall be paid to them upon signing the purchase order, one-third at the commencement of services, and one-third upon delivery or completion.
15. In case of non-payment, the seller reserves the right to suspend deliveries, provisions, and services.
16. In the event of non-payment, the seller reserves the right to consider the agreement terminated by full right and without prior notice being necessary, for the entirety or for the part not yet executed.
17. Goods are shipped at the buyer's risk, except in cases of fraud or gross negligence on the part of the carrier. Shipping costs are borne by the buyer, unless otherwise agreed.
