Scope of application
Unless agreed otherwise in writing, these General Terms and Conditions are applicable to any offer, quotation, order confirmations and any contract concluded in respect of products and/or services offered by us. If our offer, quotation, order confirmations and any contract is inconsistent the offer, quotation, order confirmations and any contract prevails. Unless we explicitly states otherwise in writing, no other terms and conditions shall apply, particularly those of the Customer.
Quotations
Our offers are purely indicative and without obligation and expire if not accepted by the Customer within 15 calendar days. Offers only become legally valid as an agreement upon signature or electronic confirmation of the offer by the Customer and by us. We also reserve the right to refuse certain orders without giving any reason.
Price and payment
The price for our goods/services is the one indicated on the quotation.
In case of non-payment on its strict due date, interest will be charged by right and without prior notice, calculated per month on any unpaid amount, from the date of issue of the invoice until the day of payment. This interest will be calculated at the rate fixed in accordance with the law of 02.08.2002 concerning the fight against late payment.
The invoice will also be increased by right and without prior notice of default by an indemnity fixed at 8% of the unpaid amount with a minimum of 250 euro, and this without prejudice to the right to reimbursement of legal costs in accordance with the provisions of the Judicial Code. Nevertheless, if the recovery costs or the prejudice suffered because of the delay in payment exceeds the said indemnity, the compensation of the said costs and prejudice may be requested instead of the fixed indemnity.

Disputes must be made known to us by registered letter within five working days of the invoice being sent, on pain of inadmissibility.
