1. Order Acceptance

Orders are placed in accordance with our general terms and conditions of sale as reproduced below. Unless expressly stated otherwise on the purchase order, the buyer agrees that the general terms and conditions stipulated below shall be the only ones applicable to the relationship between the parties, excluding, in particular, their own general conditions. All orders, modifications, additions, any deviations from the sales conditions, as well as any commitments made by our representatives or sales delegates, must be subject to express written confirmation by us to be validly enforceable against us.

2. Delivery Time

Delivery times are provided for informational purposes only and are not binding. Unless otherwise stipulated, the buyer may not, under any circumstances, invoke non-compliance with the specified deadlines to claim damages or to terminate the sale. In the event of total or partial non-payment of invoice(s) related to previous orders, our delivery obligation is suspended until full payment of said invoices, without prejudice to our right to demand a special guarantee prior to delivery.

3. Delivery - Receipt - Risks

Any claims related to the goods covered by the invoices must be submitted by registered mail within eight days of the invoice date. Otherwise, the goods will be deemed accepted without reservation, and the issued invoices will no longer be contestable. Any return of goods is subject to our prior agreement and must be made within the same period, free of charge. Goods travel at the buyer's risk both for outward and return journeys, even if shipped free or at our expense. Any changes to an order are the responsibility of the buyer when the execution of the order has already begun.

4. Prices and Rates

Our offers are non-binding, and our prices are given for informational purposes. Unless otherwise stipulated, the prices charged are those in effect at the time of delivery. Regarding imports, our indicated prices are firm; given the current circumstances, we reserve the right, at the time of processing, to accept or reject the order. Packaging: unless specifically agreed upon, crates and packaging are not returnable.

5. Payment

All orders are executed on a cash-on-delivery basis. Payment of our invoices must be made net and in cash.

Even partial non-payment of an invoice or a commercial bill renders the outstanding balance of the account or the accepted and non-due bills payable immediately. Our invoices accrue interest automatically from their due date at the legal rate plus 2% per annum. The submission of bills does not constitute novation, and discount fees and charges are the responsibility of the client. Payments over a longer term must be agreed upon in writing by our company.

6. Increase

By the mere fact of non-payment on the due date and without prejudice to the aforementioned interest, the outstanding amount of the invoice will automatically be increased, without the need for formal notice, by a fixed indemnity of 15%, with a minimum of 87 euros, to compensate for the damage caused by the buyer's fault, without prejudice to the debtor's right to request grace periods under the conditions provided for in Article 1244 of the Civil Code.

7. Liability

If the delivered goods have a material or manufacturing defect, it is up to the buyer to report it to the seller by registered mail within a maximum of ten days from the time the buyer became aware of the defect or reasonably should have become aware of it.

If the defect thus reported is established, the seller's warranty will be limited, in any case, to the replacement of the defective goods within a reasonable time, depending on availability. The buyer irrevocably waives any other claim for compensation of any kind.

8. Default - Signs of Insolvency

Failure to pay any amount by the due date makes all payments still owed to us immediately due, without any formalities.

The same applies in the event of the buyer’s death or incapacity, seizure against them, sale of their business, pledge creation, request for composition, liquidation, or bankruptcy.

9. Transfer of Ownership

The buyer expressly acknowledges that the goods delivered by the seller will not become their property until full payment of the corresponding invoice has been made.

10. Disputes and Jurisdiction

In the event of a dispute, the goods remain under the buyer's safekeeping, and they must ensure proper conservation and storage. The courts of Brussels shall have sole jurisdiction over any disputes. If the dispute falls under the jurisdiction of a Justice of the Peace, the Justice of the Peace of the 3rd district of Brussels has sole competence to hear the case.

11. Correspondence

Any correspondence will only be validly addressed to the company at its registered office.
