Agreement

2.      An agreement with the seller takes effect when seller unequivocally accepts an order or mandate made or given by the buyer. An agreement will be considered to have taken effect at the moment seller mails a confirmation of the order  

            or mandate, or at the moment seller has started with the actual execution of the  

order or mandate in a way distinguishable to the buyer.

3.      Illustrations, drawings, enumeration of capacities and further descriptions in the material (image or written) issued by seller are as accurate as possible, but not strictly binding. Small anomalies upon delivery are allowed. If the supplied product unquestionably differs, the buyer or client is authorised to cancel the agreement within 7 days of delivery.

4.      All prices are VAT included, unless agreed on otherwise in writing. If no price has been established upon entering into the agreement, then the prices on the delivery date will be applicable.

5.      If no price has been established upon entering into the agreement, then seller reserves the right to charge on changes in factory and/or importer's prices and currency rates to the price agreed on. Buyer has the right to completely or partly cancel the agreement within 3 months of signing the agreement. This cancellation shall to be in the form of a written notification within 7 days of receiving notice of this price change.

6.      If the product is not delivered within 30 days after ordering, then buyer may cancel the purchase forthwith. This is not applicable if parties have agreed on another term of delivery.

Delivery

7.      The delivery dates mentioned by seller are never to be considered ultimate terms, unless unequivocally agreed on. Upon untimely delivery seller therefore needs to receive a default notice in writing.

8.      Exceeding delivery dates, shall never, even after being served a default notice, give the right to compensation nor result into seller being obliged to pay any kind of contractual fine.

9.      Delivery dates are based on the expectation of regular working conditions and the expectation that the materials and/or services required for us to perform the delivery and/ or actual work will be delivered to us in time, consequently the delivery date will change within a reasonable time frame given the circumstances.

10.  If the delivery of goods, at the request of the buyer, takes place in another way than usual, the expenses for this will be charged to the buyer. 

11.  If the buyer fails to accept the goods, even after receiving notice and summation, then seller has the discretion to choose to deliver on a date chosen by the seller, or to cancel the agreement or unfinished part of the agreement, without intervention of a magistrate and without the requirement of serving notice, without prejudice to the seller's right for compensation.

12.  The effective delivery date is the date agreed on or as of the moment of our notice stating that the goods are ready for delivery; the client carries the full risk for all direct and indirect damage caused to or by these goods from that moment on. Negligence by buyer concerning the acceptance of the goods does not exempt buyer of his responsibility to pay.

13.  Additional unforeseen work will result in the delivery date to be moved accordingly to the time needed to have the materials and parts required for this to be delivered and to actually perform (or have performed) the extra work. If the extra work cannot be fitted into the planning schedule of the contractor then the work will be finished as soon as the planning schedule allows for this.
