GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The present terms and conditions apply to the services and/or goods deliveries performed by our company, regardless of possible terms and conditions of the buyer.

Deviations from our terms and conditions are only possible upon explicit and prior written agreement. Possible deviations only apply to the performance or delivery to which they relate and cannot be invoked for possible future assignments or orders.

Delivery periods are communicated for informative purposes only; they are observed to the largest possible extent, but are in no case binding to the seller.

Delay in the performance of the services or in the delivery of the goods does not entitle the buyer to damages or to interests.

All goods deliveries are performed at the risk of the buyer.

Warranties and tolerances on quality, thickness, flatness, color and others are these of our suppliers.

All underground pipes must be indicated by the customer orally on site as well as in writing on the plans. In the event of non-compliance with these comments, we disclaim all responsibility for any damage caused to the pipes after drilling or grinding in the floor by the technicians appointed by us.

Any complaints regarding the performed services or goods deliveries are to be reported to us by registered mail within three (3) days after the performance of the service or delivery of the goods.

Any complaints regarding the contents of invoices need to be submitted to us in writing within eight (8) days after the invoice date. Upon expiry of this time period without any written complaint, all specific and general provisions contained in the invoice are considered final and accepted.

Barring written provisions to the contrary, our invoices are to be paid within 30 days after the invoice date. Any other payment method accepted by us will never result in novation, adjustment or abolition of our general terms and conditions.

Upon delivery of goods, the goods remain the property of the seller until full payment has been received.

In case of delivery of goods, return of the delivered goods will not be accepted without prior agreement from the seller. In case of return of the goods the buyer will pay a compensation amounting to twenty percent (20%) of the invoiced amount for administrative and any other expenses up to a maximum amount of  € 125.

Invoices that have not been settled on their due date are automatically subject to interests amounting to fifteen percent (15 %) as from the due date without formal notice of default.

In addition, the amount of any invoice which has not been fully paid on the due date is automatically increased by a lump-sum compensation equal to twenty (20) percent of the indebted amount with a minimum of € 125 without formal notice of default. The resulting increased amount legally carries an interest equal to fifteen percent (15%) without formal notice of default.

In case of non-payment of any single invoice on the due date the outstanding balance of any other invoices, whether or not fallen due, automatically becomes payable at once.  The seller reserves the right to suspend the execution of any current performances and/or orders until full payment has been received.

In case of application for judicial composition, suspension of payment, whether or not established officially, or any other fact indicative of insolvency of the buyer, the invoices with regard to the delivery of services and/or goods fall due immediately.

This agreement is governed by Belgian law. Any disputes with regard to the present agreement are exclusively settled by the courts of Oudenaarde.

The nullity of one clause, or a part thereof, does not entail nullity of the other general terms and conditions of sale.
