Goods delivered  by us are insured against transport damage with a franchise of Euro 500 per event for the account of the principal. The principal shall be liable for the timely report of any damage to the carrier and the consignor, meaning within three days after the damage has been established or could reasonably have been established, and shall in any event on receipt of any damaged goods make a note on the relevant waybill. After approval by our insurer the principal will be compensated  for the agreed loss.

The term of delivery and the delivery date respectively shall commence at the latest of the following events:

the day of execution of the agreement;

the day all requirements necessary for us to fulfil our obligations under the agreement have been met;

the day of receipt of the first instalment, if payment in instalments has been agreed and the first instalment is due upon order.

Delivery periods stated by us are not to be considered fatal periods. In the event of late delivery we must be held in default in writing. If, once the delivery time has been determined, due to circumstances attributable to one of the parties, the delivery time and/or times need to be changed, such party shall immediately notify the other party thereof in writing or by electronic mail. Exceeding the term of delivery, for whatever reason, does not entitle the principal to suspend any obligation undertaken towards us, or to perform or have work performed under the agreement with or without judicial authorization  or to any compensation  for whatever reason.

The goods shall be considered delivered by us:

as soon as the goods have been placed at the disposal of the principal in accordance with the delivery terms set out in the agreement;

if goods are delivered in combination with work to be done as soon as the goods have been assembled and - if it has been agreed in writing - the inspection has taken place.

At our request, the principal shall sign a transfer protocol stating that the goods have been delivered complete and in working condition, notwithstanding article 11.

If for any reason whatsoever 10% or less of the goods included in the agreement  cannot be delivered, the principal shall not be released from any obligation under the agreement  towards us. Any missing  goods  will be delivered  by us as soon as possible subject to the conditions of the original agreement.

Article 9 Payment

All payments are to be made without any deduction or set-off within fourteen days after invoice date, unless agreed otherwise.

If the principal does not pay when due, he shall be considered in default ipso jure and we shall be entitled without any notice of default to charge him the statutory interest from the due date and in addition all extrajudicial expenses of the collection of our claim, which are set at 15% of the principal sum due with a minimum of EUR 200.

We shall at all times be entitled to require the principal to provide a bank guarantee  or other security to secure his obligations of payment prior to the delivery of the goods or any work or before continuing the execution.

In accordance with the provisions of article 13, in case the principal fails to meet his payment obligations or to provide a bank guarantee  or agreed security, we shall be entitled to suspend the delivery or execution until the principal has met his obligations.

Article 10 Risk and reservation of ownership

Immediately after the goods are considered to be delivered in accordance with the provisions of article 8, the principal shall bear the risk for all damage  - direct or indirect - that may be caused to or by these goods, provided that in case of delivery against documents  agreed, the principal shall bear the said risk from the first of the following moments:

loading of the good(s);

the time when the documents are made available to the principal.

We deliver our goods to the principal, which is deemed to accept the deliveries, subject to the suspensive condition that the principal fully complies with all of his obligations towards us due at any time. The retention of title thus implied also includes:

goods newly made using the goods delivered;

claims concerning considerations based on the agreement  or any other agreement  of whatever nature for goods delivered or to be delivered by us to the principal or pursuant to such agreement  also preformed or to be performed work;

claims due to any default under the agreement  referred to above, including without limitations claims for damages and judicial and extrajudicial expenses, contractual and statutory interest, fines and penalties.

As long as the condition as set out in this article has not been fulfilled, the principal may sell the goods delivered subject to retention of title, transfer all or part of the actual control over these goods to one or more third parties or agree to pass on all or part of the actual control over these goods to one or more third parties, provided always that:

these rights are only vested in the principal if and insofar necessary or desirable in the ordinary course of business;

these rights are only vested in the principal if and insofar the principal demands and receives immediate payment of his counterparty or demands retention of title from his counterparty equal to the right granted herewith except for the right to sell as set out in this article 10;

the principal may not encumber any of the goods delivered subject to retention of title.

At our first request, the principal shall at our option transfer or pledge any claims in connection with the sale to third parties of any goods delivered subject to retention of title.

Regarding all goods delivered and paid for which the title had passed onto the principal, we withhold if this situation arises the rights of pledges as set out in article 3:237 Netherlands Civil Code as an additional security for the claims against the principal on any account whatsoever, excluding the claims referred to in article 3:92 (2) Netherlands Civil Code.

The principal shall be obliged to keep goods delivered under our reservation of ownership with all due care and as recognizable property of ours. The principal shall furthermore be obliged to insure the goods for the duration of the retention of title against fire, explosion and water damage and also against theft and to hand us the policies of these insurances for inspection on first demand. All the principal’s claims on the insurer of the goods on the strength of the said insurance shall be assigned to us as greater security of our claims on the principal as soon as we so desire.

If in the fulfilment of his obligations of payment the principal is in default or in difficulties of payment, we shall be entitled, without any notice or default being required, to remove the goods that have remained our property or to have them removed from the place where they are. We shall then be entitled to keep the goods in our possession until the due amount including interest, expenses and compensation  has been paid in full, or to sell the goods to third parties in which case the net proceeds, which can never be higher than the original purchase price, is deducted from the total amount payable by the principal.

The principal shall be obliged to inform us without delay when third parties enforce rights in connection with goods still owned by us. 

Article 11 Warranty and complaints

Without prejudice to the following restrictions, we shall warrant towards the principal the soundness and quality of the goods delivered by us and/or work performed, provided however that this warranty only applies if the goods delivered are used in accordance with their purpose and in accordance with standards to be imposed by us or standards which are generally accepted.
