General Terms and Conditions

  • Our specifications, sketches, models, plans and all documents supplied with our quotations may not be disclosed to third parties and remain our property even if part of the expenses were charged to the buyer.
  • In the event of non-payment of the invoice on the due date, the buyer will by law only owe us a conventional interest of 9.5% for late payment on the amount owed or due to the expiry of the term and without any summons sum still to be owed plus a claim of 10% on the amount owed and this with a minimum of 100 euros.
  • Any complaint about a delivery must be submitted in writing within eight days of receipt of the goods. Once this time period has elapsed, no more complaints will be taken into account.
  • Strict observance of the delivery times is not a requirement. The non-compliance cannot result in a unilateral cancellation of the purchase contract.
  • In the event that the purchase contract is canceled to the detriment and to the complaint of the buyer, as well as in the event that the buyer refuses to accept the delivery, he will owe the seller a lump-sum mourning purchase, served on the basis of 45% of the ordered amount, only as compensation for the profit that was counted upon and to pay the compensation to the representative without prejudice to the right to full compensation for the damage suffered, including loss of hourly wages, material, etc.
  • In the case of sale on installment or with installment in installments, the buyer will be made liable for immediate payment of the balance, in the absence of a single and any due date to be respected by the fact itself and without any summons. Since the sale is not properly concluded under the suspensive condition of full payment of the price and its incidentalities made on the due date, only the payment of the balance transfers the ownership of the material sold to the buyer. As a result of the non-payment itself, the seller acquires the right to immediately take back the material sold without prior notice or formality, without prejudice to all other rights, including those stated in Article 5.
  • Deliveries and goods, even sold free, are delivered "ex works". They are transported at the risk of the addressee in such a way that he will only be able to exercise recourse against the truck driver or the Railways Administration, who are responsible.
  • The invoices are payable in Antwerp.
  • Only the courts of Antwerp have jurisdiction - even in the event of an instance of indemnification - to settle all disputes that would arise either from its execution or from any other cause.
