a. Except where otherwise agreed in writing, the legal relations between the parties are governed by the present General Conditions, the client declaring that he is aware of and has accepted the contents thereof, that take precedence over any of the client’s own Purchase Conditions.

b. Invoices are payable on the due day without discount. If payment is not effected completely within a period of 30 days of the date on which the invoice is sent, all other outstanding amounts shall be increased, automatically and without service of formal notice of default, by interest for late payment equal to the legal interest rate plus 12 % per annum, calculated pro rata the number of (calendar) days of arrears.

c. In case of late payment the invoice amount shall be increased, automatically and without service of formal notice of default, by an irrevocable minimum lump sum equal to 10% of the of the invoice amount with a minimum of €125. This compensation is owed in addition to the interest for late payment, charges arising from the collection procedure and any compensation for material damage and loss of profit. The Parties therefore expressly agree that such compensation is lump sum or flat rate and that, by derogation from Art. 1231 of the Civil Code, it may not be modified, even if the default is only partial. We are entitled to claim a higher compensation if a higher damage can be proven.

d. In the event of non-payment by the due date of any single invoice, we reserve the right to suspend all current agreements; the outstanding balance of all other invoices, including invoices not yet due and payable, then becomes automatically immediately claimable.

e. Comments and restrictions in connection with this invoice and/or the General Conditions included therein must reach us within 8 days of the invoice date by reasoned registered letter, in default of which they are considered accepted.
