Terms and conditions

STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS

These terms and conditions form an integral part of the contract, to the exclusion of the client’s own terms and conditions. They can only be deviated from after it has been expressly approved by us, in writing.

These standard conditions of sale only apply between companies for business transactions that result in the delivery of goods of the provision or services within the framework of an autonomous, professional or economic activity.

  1. The goods or services are supplied as set forth on the invoice or on the order form.
  2. The goods or services are supplied within the term as specified on the order form. Further allowance should be made for the usual tolerance in delivery dates characteristic of that branch of trade or industry.
  3. The delivery takes place on the seller’s premises, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  4. The goods are transported at the expense and risk of the buyer.
  5. Complaints about the thus delivered goods or provided services cannot be entertained if they do not reach us, in writing, within seven days after the delivery. Latent ‘hidden’ defects should be reported within a short time after they are discovered.
  6. Our deliveries are payable in cash (or: our deliveries are payable no later than …. days after the date of invoice).
  7. The goods supplied remain our property until the price (principal, costs and interest) has been paid in full. The risks pass to the consignee after delivery. The consignee must keep the goods in good condition. If the invoice is still unpaid on the xxth day after a dunning letter has been sent by registered mail, then the contract can be set aside by us ipso jure and via a simple declaration, sent by registered mail. All this without prejudicing our right to claim damages from the defaulting buyer.
  8. If the invoice is still unpaid on the due date then interest is charged ipso jure and without notice of default. This late payment interest is calculated on the basis of the reference rate of the European Central Bank.
  9. On top of this, without notice of default, the unpaid invoice amount is increased by 10%, with a minimum of EUR 25, by way of an indemnity provision for extrajudicial collection charges and contractual damage, without prejudicing our right to other relevant collection charges.
  10. All our contracts shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Belgian law.
