|
All our offers are always free of obligations and based
on data supplied by our client upon request. If the offer is accepted
by client, we shall be entitled to withdraw the offer within five working
days after receipt of the acceptance. Offers are always, unless stated
differently, exclusive of VAT. |
| 2.2.a |
|
The stated price is based on the purchase price of goods,
services, materials and other cost factors. If a non-foreseeable increase
occurs in one or more of these cost price components after the offer,
but before delivery, including a change of import and export duties and/or
taxes, we are entitled to pass on these increases without client being
entitled to an entire or partial dissolution of the agreement. |

address stated by client stated in the Netherlands, unless agreed differently.
A fee for freight costs shall be charged for deliveries below € 500. |
| 4.2.a |
|
Agreed delivery dates shall never be considered as firm
dates. If the agreed delivery date is exceeded, client shall be authorised
to propose a reasonable specific date to us by registered mail. If this
date is exceeded, it shall not be possible to hold us liable for the exceeding
of this date and the resultant damage, unless it involves an intentional
act or gross negligence. |
| 4.2.b |

If no time at which or period within which the delivery
will have to take place has been agreed, the delivery shall take place
within a reasonable period after the conclusion of the agreement, taking
into account the nature of the matter and the circumstances. |
| 4.3 |
|
Irrespective of the agreed method of delivery, all goods
to be supplied shall always be at the own expense and risk of client at
the moment of leaving our warehouse or the warehouse of our supplier,
even when the transporters demand a statement on the consignment note
for shipment that all damage during the transport shall be at the expense
of the shipper. |
| 4.4 |
|
In the event that goods must be installed at the place of
destination after delivery and cannot be installed at once, we shall be
entitled to invoice 90% of the sum involved in the agreement, after which
the remaining 10% shall be invoiced after installation or, in the event
of non-performance with regard to this through no fault of our own, at
the latest 3 months after the first delivery. |
| 4.5 |
|
The right mentioned in the previous paragraph of this article
shall also exist, if goods are not purchased within the stated delivery
time after completion, or if they cannot be installed through no fault
of our own within the stated date. |
| 4.6 |
|
If goods are not purchased in time, they shall be at the
expense of client after the expiry of the agreed delivery time and we
shall be entitled to invoice the goods in question and charge storage
costs, unless explicitly agreed otherwise. |

|
Without prejudice to the provisions in the previous paragraphs
of this article, it shall always be possible to claim advance payment. |

from, we shall be entitled to dissolve the agreement without client being
entitled to claim compensation as a result of this. |

in dimensions or a minor change in the use of materials, construction
or components for a sound implementation. |

work, client shall always take care of the following: |
| 6.1.a |

is protected against dirt, dust and moisture; |

| 6.1.c |
|
that there have to be hoisting and securing points; |

on at the applicable rates, if they have not been explicitly included
in the commission. |

once-only, turnkey delivery and therefore never apply to any later transfers. |

as a result of causes through no fault of our own and/or incorrect information
provided by client, shall be at the expense of client. |

1; war, danger of war, civil war, riots, strikes, occupation of the company,
transport problems, fire, water damage, floods, government measures and
other serious disturbances in our company of whatever nature or that of
our suppliers. |
| 7.3 |
|
In the event of force majeure we optionally have the right
to extend the period of delivery by the period of the force majeure or
dissolve the agreement, in so far as this has not already been implemented,
without us being obliged in whatever way to pay any compensation, except
for by virtue of the provisions in art. 78 of Book 6 of the Civil Code.

of a temporary shortcoming that can be attributed to us. |

14 days after the date of invoice, either in cash, or to an account to
be indicated by us and without any deduction or settlement. |
| 8.2 |
|

penalty of an immediately payable fine of 10 % a day of the total sum
that he owes us. |
| 9.3 |
|
If postponement of payment is granted to client or when
he is declared bankrupt, we shall be entitled to collect the supplied
wood from client at once without any prior notification. Paragraph 2 of
this article shall apply by analogy. |
| 10.1 |
|

claims shall be submitted by registered mail. |
| 10.3 |
|
If the provisions in paragraph 1 or the period referred

due to whatever cause, we shall reserve the right to require compliance. |

them in time or sufficiently, which obligations for him are the result
of the concluded agreement, or if there is a well-founded fear for this,

or with the closing down, sales or winding-up of his company, we shall
be entitled to suspend the implementation of the agreement, or dissolve
the agreement. |

the agreement, as well as damage resulting from the suspension of dissolution,
including lost profit, shall be due and payable at once. |

failures in or regarding sold goods or performed work, both with client
or third parties, shall be explicitly excluded. |

the open space, although the walls within certain things have to be mounted
are not ready yet. |

|
All disputes resulting from agreements concluded by us shall,
in so far as possible in accordance with statutory provisions, with the
exclusion of every other authority, belong to the competence of the competent
court of the place of our business address, or the place of the business
address of our client. |
