2.1 These conditions form part of all offers, quotations, notifications submitted by the supplier and of all agreements to be entered into by the supplier.

2.2 The applicability of purchase and/or other conditions are explicitly excluded by the supplier.

2.3 Derogation clauses only apply if they have been agreed in writing and in that case only in respect of the particular agreement they have been set out for; these conditions will remain effective in all other respects. 

2.4 The possible invalidity of (any part of) these general conditions will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

2.5 Before a distant agreement is concluded with a consumer, the text of these General Conditions will be made available electronically to the consumer in such a manner that the consumer can easily save it on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be made known prior to the conclusion of the distant agreement where the General Conditions can be electronically viewed and that the conditions will be sent electronically or in a different manner free of charge at the request of the buyer.

2.6 All articles of these General Conditions are applicable to buyer and consumer, unless explicitly indicated that they only apply to one of these parties.

 

Article 3: Offers

3.1 All offers, quotations and other notifications are without obligation and are all an invitation to make an offer. The supplier is only bound by written confirmation or acceptance of an offer of a buyer / consumer. The offer is the order placed. The acceptance is the confirmation thereof. The term for acceptance or rejection of the consumer's offer will be stated in the offers, quotations or other notifications of supplier.

3.2 If no prior written order or acceptance of an order has taken place (i.e. sale from warehouse stock), the agreement will be concluded because the supplier fully or partially meets the request to deliver and the buyer / consumer has fully paid, or at least the agreed part thereof.

3.3 Changes in the prices, product assortment or composition (i.e. the colour, shape, format) of products are reserved.

3.4 If an agreement is concluded for periodic deliveries, supplier and the consumer will in any case agree the minimum duration for this.

4.1 All prices are exclusive of the BTW (Dutch VAT) determined by the Government, unless explicitly indicated otherwise. The amount of BTW is always stated for consumers, as well as the amount inclusive of BTW. The supplier is in any case entitled to increase prices subject to a period of 4 weeks after notification of the price increase to its buyers. The agreement will be entered into on the basis of the prices the supplier maintains at the moment at which the agreement comes into effect.

If the definitive invoice is lower than the pro forma invoice the difference will be set off against any outstanding invoices or will be refunded.

The buyer / consumer hereby authorises the supplier to access the site and/or the premises where the products are stored if the situation arises to enable it to repossess these products. If the supplier makes use of the right to repossess the products, it will have the choice to retain the goods or to store them at the expense of the buyer, until the buyer / consumer has complied with all its obligations, or to sell the products and to set off the proceeds thereof against the outstanding claims payable by the buyer / consumer.  All this without prejudice to the supplier’s right to compensation pursuant to these Conditions and the law.
