1. Items that are obtained by the Supplier from manufacturers and suppliers and that are resold to the Buyer without further processing or treatment, will be covered by the warranty provided by the respective manufacturer or supplier. Any warranty claims in respect of the above-mentioned items will be forwarded by the Supplier to the manufacturer or supplier, to whose opinion the Supplier will be entitled to refer.
2. With regard to repair and overhaul activities carried out by the Supplier, a warranty is only provided on the soundness of the materials used, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
3. In all other cases, the Supplier warrants, for a period of 3 months after delivery, that the item sold by them is free from defects in design, material and manufacturing. If the item shows a defect in design, material or manufacturing, the Buyer is entitled to have the item repaired. The Supplier may choose to replace the item if there are objections to repair. The Buyer will only be entitled to replacement if repairing the item is not possible.
4. Damage caused by a defect in the delivered item will be subject to the liability regime set out in article 11.
5. The warranty lapses if the Buyer:
-does not follow the instructions of the manufacturer when assembling/installing the delivered item, or the Supplier performs work on the delivered item, or arranges work to be performed on it.
-uses the delivered item incompetently and/or inefficiently or has it used or allows it to be used in such a manner.
The warranty also lapses where intent, gross negligence or omission, including incorrect use of the delivered items, or any damage resulting therefrom, is involved.
6. If the Supplier replaces parts to meet their warranty obligations, the replaced parts will become the property of the Supplier.
7. The alleged failure of the Supplier to meet their warranty obligations does not release the Buyer from their obligations arising from any agreement concluded with the Supplier.
8. If the Buyer does not properly or does not in a timely manner meet any one of their obligations arising from the agreement concluded with the Supplier or from any related agreement, the Supplier will no longer be obliged to provide any warranty, regardless of the name, in respect of any of these agreements.

ARTICLE 6 DELIVERY AND RISK TRANSFER
1. Specified delivery times will never be considered strict deadlines, unless explicitly agreed otherwise. Exceeding any delivery period does not entitle the Buyer to compensation nor does it entitle them to cancel the order or to terminate the agreement. If any delivery period is exceeded by more than two months, the Buyer is entitled to declare the Supplier in default by registered letter with a demand to deliver the items within 10 working days. In the event that the Supplier is in default without, in a legally valid manner, invoking force majeure, which prevents the Supplier from delivering within 10 working days, the Buyer is entitled to terminate the agreement in writing after the lapse of the above-mentioned 10 days.
The Supplier will in that case not be obliged to pay any compensation. Termination cannot take place if the Buyer gives the Supplier another time limit to fulfil the obligation to deliver and this time limit is explicitly accepted by Supplier.
2. All deliveries within the Netherlands and within the EU, unless agreed otherwise, will take place Ex Works in accordance with Incoterms 2020 and are deemed to have taken place as soon as the Buyer receives notification from the Supplier that the items have arrived or are present at the Supplier's place of business. The risk of the item is transferred the moment the Buyer receives notification from the Supplier that the items have arrived or are present at the Supplier’s.
3. Unless otherwise agreed, delivery will be made carriage paid to the Supplier’s premises, ground floor.
4. Deliveries outside the EU, unless otherwise agreed, will be made free carrier in accordance with Incoterms 2020. The risk of the item will in that case be transferred the moment the item is transferred to the carrier.
5. If transport is arranged by the Supplier or the Buyer, the items travel at the risk of the Buyer. If the Buyer does not give timely instructions regarding the method of shipment, the Supplier is free to choose the method of transport.
6. If the Buyer requests to handle the delivery of an order in a manner other than usual, e.g. shipped by express or special transport, or if special packaging material is required, the related costs will be charged to the Buyer.
7. The Supplier is allowed to deliver sold items in parts. If the items are delivered in parts, the Supplier is entitled to invoice each part separately.
8. The Buyer is obliged to take delivery of the purchased items either at the time they are delivered to them or at the time they are made available to them in accordance with the agreement. If the Buyer rejects taking delivery or is negligent in providing information or instructions necessary for the delivery, the items will be stored at the risk of the Buyer. The Buyer will then owe any additional costs, in any case including storage costs, without prejudice to the enforceability of the Supplier's claim in respect of the delivered items. Any damage that the Supplier suffers as a result, can be recovered from the Buyer, in which case at least a fixed amount of EUR 250 will be payable in respect of such damage.

ARTICLE 7 RETENTION OF TITLE
1. The items delivered by the Supplier will remain their property until the Buyer has fulfilled all their payment obligations from purchase agreements concluded with the Supplier. The Supplier also retains the title of those items until any claim for compensation due to the Buyer’s failure to fulfil the agreements referred to in the first sentence has been settled.
2. As long as the title of the items has not been transferred to the Buyer, the Buyer will not be permitted to sell, pledge or grant any third party any right to the items delivered by the Supplier. This stipulation is intended to have effect under property law. Notwithstanding the retention of title referred to above, the risks are transferred to the Buyer at the time of delivery.
3. If the Buyer does not fulfil their obligations or if there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that they will not do so, the Supplier is entitled to take delivered items to which the retention of title applies away from the Buyer or any third party holding those items for the Buyer, or arrange for such items to be taken away. If the items delivered by the Supplier have already been installed in a property belonging to the Buyer, the Buyer will disassemble the sold items at the Supplier’s first request, and place them at the Supplier’s disposal without prejudice to the Supplier’s right to proceed with such disassembly themselves. The costs of this disassembly are to be borne by the Customer.
The Buyer is obliged provide all cooperation in the take-back on pain of a penalty of 10% of the amount owed by them to the Supplier for each day that the items delivered under retention of title are not completely returned to the Supplier, with a minimum of EUR 175 per day.
4. If third parties wish to establish or exercise any right to the items delivered under retention of title, the Buyer is obliged to inform the Supplier thereof as soon as can reasonably be expected.

ARTICLE 8 PRICE
1. The indicated prices apply to delivery from Joure (the Netherlands) and are exclusive of VAT and other government-imposed levies as well as any shipping and packaging costs. The Buyer acknowledges that the above-mentioned taxes and costs are at their expense and can be charged by the Supplier.
2. If, between the dates of the offer and purchase, even if the Supplier has made a binding offer, or between the date of purchase and delivery, a price increase of offered or sold items should occur for reasons beyond the Supplier's control, for example as a result of an increase in price of materials, production costs, import duties, taxes, foreign currency rates, transport costs, etc., the Supplier is allowed to charge them on.

Any advance payment can only be offset against the final invoice and not against interim invoices.
3. The Supplier reserves the right to postpone the delivery of the items until payment in full has been received.

- The Buyer does not fulfil their obligations from the agreement, or does not do so in a timely manner or does not so in full;
- after the conclusion of the agreement, circumstances come to the knowledge of the Supplier which give them good reason to fear that the Buyer will not fulfil their obligations, or will not do so in a timely manner or will not do so in full.

In the event of termination by the Supplier, the Supplier is entitled to compensation for the damage, including costs arising directly and indirectly as a result.

ARTICLE 14 FORCE MAJEURE
1. The Buyer cannot claim fulfilment from the Supplier and the Supplier will not be liable for any damage if the non-fulfilment, late fulfilment or defective fulfilment is the result of an external cause that cannot be attributed to the Supplier (force majeure). Force majeure on the part of the Supplier is in any event, but not exclusively, understood to be all the circumstances as a result of which compliance with the agreement may no longer reasonably be demanded from the Supplier and furthermore any circumstances which the Supplier could not reasonably have foreseen and which are beyond the Supplier’s control, including but not limiteds or their suppliers; lack of feedstock, materials and other items or services required to bring about the agreed performance, as well as price increases of more than 3% of such feedstock, materials and other items or services required for bringing about the agreed performance; unforeseeable stagnation at suppliers or other third parties on which the Supplier depends and general transport problems; circumstances that make it difficult for the Supplier to fulfil the obligation to deliver, including, but not limited to, products to be delivered by third parties not complying with the quality requirements set by the Supplier and the resulting consequences.
2. The Supplier is also entitled to invoke force majeure if the circumstance impeding such (further) fulfilment arises after the Supplier should have fulfilled their obligation.
3. During the period in which force majeure prevents full or partial fulfilment, the Supplier's delivery obligations and other obligations will be suspended. If the period in which fulfilment of the obligations by the Supplier is not possible because of force majeure lasts longer than six months, both parties are authorised to terminate the agreement without any obligation to pay compensation arising in that case.
4. If, when force majeure arises, the Supplier has already partially fulfilled their obligations or is able to partially fulfil their obligations, they will be entitled to invoice separately the items that have already been delivered or that are to be delivered, and the Customer will be obliged to pay this invoice as if it were a separate contract.

ARTICLE 15 MISCELLANEOUS
1. The Supplier not invoking the rights they are entitled to, never means that they waive those rights.
2. All personal data are used exclusively by the Supplier and/or their group companies and are never given to third parties, except when necessary for payment transactions and delivery of the order. The Supplier and its group companies respect the privacy of the Customer and ensure that the Customer's personal information is treated confidentially. The Customer hereby gives permission to use their data to inform the Customer about product offers from the Supplier, all in the broadest sense.

ARTICLE 16 APPLICABLE LAW, DISPUTES
1. All agreements entered into by the Supplier are governed by Dutch law, to which these general terms and conditions apply as a supplement and, in so far as mandatory provisions do not oppose them, as a derogation.

2. Any disputes between the Buyer and the Supplier will be adjudicated by the competent court of the place of business of the Supplier, including any relief ordered in proceedings, subject to any exceptions under mandatory law.
