General terms and conditions

General terms and conditions

1. Scope of application

1.1 Notwithstanding any communications to the contrary in the past or future, the buyer (hereinafter the ”Buyer”) accepts by requesting a quotation from, placing an order or concluding an agreement with Kreon NV, with registered office at 3660 Opglabbeek, Industrieweg – Noord 1152, VAT BE 0422.344.235 (hereinafter “KREON”) that only the following provisions apply to all contractual, precontractual and non-contractual legal relationships between KREON and the Buyer, both current and future: (in descending ranking order, the next in the absence or by implication of the previous one) (1) the written agreement between KREON and the Buyer; (2) the written order confirmation from KREON; (3) these general terms and conditions; (4) the Vienna Convention on International Sale of Goods; (5) Belgian law.

All other provisions and conditions, such as the general and/or special terms and conditions of the Buyer, are not applicable and are explicitly rejected by KREON. Other (derogatory) conditions are only applicable in as far as they are expressly signed as agreed by KREON. Exceptions expressly signed as agreed by KREON only apply to the specific sale to which they relate and cannot be invoked for other, even similar orders.

1.2 If one or part of a provision of these general terms and conditions should be rendered null and void, the rest of the provisions and/or the remainder of that provision shall remain valid. If one or part of the provisions is rendered null and void, KREON and the Buyer, as far as is possible and according to their own loyalty and convictions, shall negotiate to replace the invalid provision with an equivalent provision in the general spirit of these general terms and conditions, or, the competent judge or arbitrator shall moderate the provision to that effect.

1.3 Buyer is understood to mean anyone who calls on KREON’s products and/or services, places an order with and/or request a quotation from KREON  in the name and/or for the account of any other (legal)person.

 

2. Orders/quotations

2.1 All quotations issued by KREON are valid for 2 months and are non – binding. KREON can withdraw any quotation at any time whatsoever. All quotations issued by KREON are in any case without obligation and shall be solely deemed an invitation for the Buyer to place an order. An agreement is only established when a person who is authorised to bind KREON in law confirms the Buyer’s order in writing or electronically, or when KREON starts to implement the order. Unless if explicitly stated otherwise in these general terms and conditions, all orders and offer acceptances made by the Buyer, including oral orders and offer acceptances, are irrevocable. KREON is free to select the parties with which it wishes to enter into an agreement.

2.2 KREON has the right to require an advance payment or an integral prepayment at all times. In such event, KREON’s obligations towards the Buyer shall be suspended completely until the amount concerned is paid integrally and this, without any right of recourse for the Buyer with regard to KREON. If Kreon has the impression that there are problems with the creditworthiness of the customer, Kreon has the right to ask for a prepayment.

2.3 All deliveries of products and/or performances of services that were not foreseen in the written agreement between KREON and the Buyer or, in absence thereof, in the order confirmation by KREON, are considered to be additional orders and/or additional works upon request by the Buyer and will be charged to the Buyer as such.

 

3. Cancellation

3.1 The Buyer can cancel or modify a placed order, free of charge, by sending a notification to KREON within a period of 24 hours after receipt of the order confirmation.  Such notification may only be made in writing.

3.2 In case of a late notification, at the latest on the moment of delivery of the goods, the following principles shall apply:

  • In case the order concerns standard goods, KREON shall charge a (cancellation) cost, equal to 30% of the initial invoice amount;
  • in case the order concerns customized goods, KREON shall charge a (cancellation) cost, equal to 100% of the initial invoice amount.

3.3 Cancellation of an order after delivery of the goods is only possible in accordance with the return procedure, as set out in article 6.1 et.seq. of these general terms and conditions

 

4. Prices and payment

4.1 The prices for goods are based on Ex Works (ICC Incoterms 2010), unless otherwise agreed, and are VAT excluded. A separate individual price is calculated for every purchase. This price is only valid for a specific defined purchase and therefore does not apply to other, even similar purchases.

4.2 All charges and taxes, of whatever kind, applicable on the price or goods, as well as all transportation and insurance costs, as the case may be, need to be paid separately by the Buyer.

4.3 Currency fluctuations, increases in prices of materials, auxiliary materials and raw materials, wages, salaries, social security charges, costs imposed by the government, levies and taxes, transportation costs, import and export duties, or insurance premiums, arising between the order confirmation and delivery and/or execution of sold goods and/or services entitle KREON to increase the agreed price accordingly.

4.4 Unless stated otherwise, all invoices are payable in cash within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, without deduction or rebate, in the currency as mentioned on the invoice and, in case of lack of currency specification, in Euros. Acceptance of a bill of exchange or any other payment instruments by KREON does not constitute novation. No reason (e.g. the issue of a complaint regarding the delivered goods) entitles the Buyer to withhold his payment.

4.5 The Buyer shall notify KREON by registered letter within five (5) calendar days as from the receipt of the invoice of any complaints regarding such invoice.

4.6 In accordance with the Belgian Act on Financial Guarantees of 15 December 2004, KREON and the Buyer will automatically set off all currently existing and future debts towards each other by operation of law. This means that in the long-term relationship between KREON and the Buyer the largest amount receivable will always remain on balance after the above-mentioned automatic set-off. This set-off will in all events be enforceable against any trustee in bankruptcy and other joint creditors, who will therefore not be able to object to the set-off performed by the Buyer and KREON.

4.7 In case of non-payment or incomplete payment on the due date of one invoice, interest at one (1) percent per month will become payable, by force of law and without notice of default, as from the invoice date.  Every month started shall be considered as a complete month with regard to the calculation of the interest.

In case of non-payment or incomplete payment on the due date of one invoice, the Buyer will be liable for fixed compensation equal to ten (10) percent of the remaining amount due, with a minimum of EUR 125, notwithstanding KREON’s rights or remedies to obtain full compensation for the costs and damages incurred.

KREON will have the right, by force of law and without notice of default or any other formality, to postpone the execution of its obligations under any agreement towards the Buyer, to terminate any agreement with the Buyer with immediate effect, to claim payment of all outstanding invoices (including those that have not fallen due) or to reject the execution, notwithstanding any older agreement and/or any other rights or remedies that could be invoked by KREON, in case:

  • one invoice is not (completely) paid on the due date, or;
  • the Buyer does not meet its obligations under an agreement, or;
  • the Buyer becomes insolvent, goes bankrupt, a bankruptcy petition is filed against the Buyer, the Buyer makes a proposal in connection with its insolvency following the bankruptcy legislation, application of the Belgian law of 31 January 2009 on the continuity of enterprises or its equivalents, the Buyer ceases his activities in full or for a substantial part, transfers its assets in detriment of its creditors, or in case KREON has genuine reasons to believe that the Buyer shall not be able to pay its debts as they become due, or;
  • direct or indirect change of control over the Buyer takes place or in case the Buyer transfers all of its assets or a substantial part thereof to a third party anywise (including merger, (partial) demerger, transfer or investment of an universality or activity branch).

4.8 The failure of KREON to take immediate steps following a breach or non – compliance by the Buyer can under no circumstances be interpreted as forfeiture of rights by KREON.

4.9 Acceptance of partial payment is subject to reservation of all rights and will be charged in the following order: (1) collection costs, (2) compensation for damages, (3) interest, (4) principal amounts.

 

5. Delivery terms - conditions - assembly

5.1 Except as agreed otherwise, deliveries shall always occur conform the Incoterm “Ex Works” (ICC Incoterms 2010) at the place designated by KREON or, in absence thereof, at the registered office of KREON.

5.2 In case the purchase concerns a (climate) ceiling, the assembly and installation can also be performed by KREON. In such case, an additional price will be charged, as mentioned in the quotation or order confirmation from KREON.

Delivery and assembly do not include (non – exhaustive list): carpentry to walls, façades, coves, painting, provision of waste containers and sorting out waste, installation of lighting equipment in/onto plaster, cleaning of the ceiling, installation of heating, electricity, data, security, electronics, plumbing and air conditioning, auxiliary constructions for the installation of the (climate) ceiling.

Scaffolding up to a hand working height of 450 cm, to be measured from the floor, is included.

Except as agreed otherwise, deliveries shall always occur on the ground floor and assembly can only be performed in a clean, glass and water tight space.  In case of vertical transport, the Buyer needs to provide the necessary means of transport, at its own risk and expense.

All quantities, as mentioned in the quotation and/or order confirmation, are determined on the basis of architectural drawings and need to be considered as an estimation.  The exact quantities shall be measured upon execution and charged in accordance with the quoted unit prices.

5.3 The stated delivery terms are non – binding upon KREON, and are only provided as an indication. They cannot be considered as an essential part of the obligations of KREON towards the Buyer.

5.4 Changes to the price inquiry and/or order of the Buyer, changes to the written agreement between KREON and the Buyer, as well as changes to the order confirmation from KREON automatically result in lapse of the proposed expected delivery times.

5.5 Any delay in the delivery will not give rise to the cancellation of the sale or to payment of any compensation to the Buyer. Nor does such delay release the Buyer of its obligation to accept or pay the goods.  In case of non – delivery of the goods, KREON shall compensate the advancements paid by the Buyer, without any additional interest or other compensation. KREON is by no means liable for delays incurred as a result of failures on the part of its manufacturers and/or suppliers, the Buyer, its customers and/or any other third party.

5.6 KREON has the right to deliver the purchased products and/or services in several parts. Partial implementation or delivery does not give rise to the dissolution of the agreement between KREON and the Buyer or to any compensation whatsoever.

5.7 Except as provided otherwise, explicitly and in writing, the Buyer shall collect the purchased products himself, at his own expense and risk from the place and at the time indicated by KREON. If the Buyer fails to collect the products within five (5) business days, he will be liable for storage expenses of 1% of the entire invoice amount per week. If the scheduled collection date is exceeded by eight (8) weeks, KREON has the right to declare the agreement between KREON and the Buyer dissolved from the date the dissolution notice is sent, without notice of default and without judicial intervention. The Buyer is in that case liable for a fixed compensation equal to 30% of the total invoice amount if the agreement concerns standard goods or 100% of the total invoice amount if the agreement concerns customized goods, notwithstanding KREON's right to prove higher damages.

5.8 At the Buyer’s request, KREON shall organise the transport to the agreed destination, as it appears from the written agreement between KREON and the Buyer or, in absence thereof, from the order confirmation by KREON, in the name and on behalf of the Buyer and at the latter’s risk and expense.

 

6. Acceptance, complaints (product and/or transport and return

6.1 The Buyer shall carry out an initial check immediately on collection and/or delivery of the purchased products and/or services, concerning among others the conformity of the delivery (correctness of the (types) products and services, location, quantities, possible damages caused by transport, etc.). Complaints regarding the conformity of the delivery must be made by formulating a reservation on the delivery note or by registered letter within five (5) business days as from the delivery date, failing which the Buyer is deemed to have accepted the delivered products and/or services as agreed. Complaints formulated on the delivery note must be confirmed to KREON by means of a registered letter within the aforementioned period.

6.2 The placing into service, making use of,  the processing, the repacking and/or the resale of the goods, delivered by KREON, shall be considered as approval and acceptance, as well as final delivery of the goods and shall release KREON of all its responsibilities and liability in accordance with article 10 of this general terms and conditions.

6.3 Complaints regarding defects, that could not be detected upon collection and/or delivery of the products and/or services need to be notified to KREON by registered letter at the latest within a period of one (1) year after delivery, except for those goods, where a different warranty is provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer forfeits the right to rely on any defect, unless he notifies KREON thereof by registered letter within a period of eight (8) calendar days after discovering or after he should have discovered the non-compliance or defect.

6.4 The Buyer, notifying a complaint, needs to provide KREON with the following information:

  • a detailed description of the defect;
  • pictures of the defect;
  • production date of the product(s);
  • number of installed products;
  • time elapsed since the initial installation;
  • number of defective products;
  • date the defect was first discovered;
  • circumstances of installation, including voltage, type of fitting, location, and;
  • details of the order.

6.5 In case defects are notified on time and correctly, KREON will at its own discretion: (1) (partially) replace the non – compliant or defective goods, components thereof and/or services, whether or not by a functional equivalent; or (2) repair the defective goods and/or components thereof; or (3) compensate for the non – compliant or faulty part at the price provided in the written agreement between KREON and the Buyer or in absence thereof, at the price provided in the order confirmation by KREON; (4) credit an amount which reasonably relates to the nature and extent of the defect concerned. The Buyer recognizes that these measures, each individually, form a complete and adequate compensation for every possible damage which might arise out of a defect and accepts that the execution of these measures cannot be considered as an acceptance of liability by KREON.

6.6 A possible (partial) replacement and/or repair of products, components and/or services cannot give rise to the dissolution of the agreement between KREON and the Buyer or to any compensation whatsoever.

6.7 Without KREON’s explicit written confirmation, the Buyer shall under no circumstances have the right to return products, to execute works itself or to have works executed by third parties.

6.8 KREON reserves the right to examine the non-conformity of the delivery and/or other defects and investigate the causes thereof.  Upon KREON’s request, the Buyer shall deliver the goods to KREON, at its own expense and risk, within a period of five (5) business days after receipt of the request from KREON thereto, at the place of initial delivery, as defined in article 5.1 of these general terms and conditions.

6.9 Complaints and/or a possible (partial) replacement or repair of the goods and/or services do not in any case release the Buyer from his payment obligations within the stated time limit under the written agreement between KREON and the Buyer, the order confirmation of KREON, these general terms and conditions and/or the respective invoice.

6.10 The Buyer is required to compensate costs incurred in connection with unjustified complaints.

6.11 Kreon may charge storage fees for EXW deliveries that are not picked up in time. This will be based on the net order value:

  • Up to 5000 euros: 250 euros storage costs
  • Above 5000 euros: 5% of the order value

As soon as the goods are ready, the customer will be informed. The customer will receive one month to arrange transport and pick up the goods. For example if the goods are ready in October and the customer has been informed about this, storage costs will be charged from December 1st. Each additional month we’ll add 250 euros. The billing of these extra charges will be done once the goods have been picked up.

The above-mentioned documents must be returned at KREON’s first request.

Such documents, information, models and designs remain the property of KREON and shall not be disclosed to third parties, copied or used directly or indirectly, wholly or partially for purposes other than those for which they are intended, except with the express written consent of KREON.

  • the warranty period provided by the manufacturer or supplier to KREON;
  • an absolute maximum of 1 year after delivery of the goods and/or services concerned.

If the Buyer notifies KREON on time and correctly, in accordance with this general terms and conditions, of any complaint and/or damage, other than regarding the conformity of delivery, KREON shall pass such complaint directly to the respective manufacturer or supplier. During the further handling of the complaint, KREON shall function solely as intermediary between the Buyer and the manufacturer or supplier.  The responsibility of KREON shall be limited to the passing on of information between the manufacturer or the supplier on one hand and the Buyer on the other hand.  KREON can under no circumstances be held liable with regard to the effective complaint and/or damage.

10.3 KREON shall not be liable for (i) damages caused by the Buyer, reseller, end – user or any other third party, (ii) damages caused by the failure of the Buyer, reseller and/or end – user, (iii) damages due to the wrongful or inadequate use of the sold goods, (iv) damages to the sold goods, which the Buyer tried to adapt or in case components were used by the Buyer that do not meet the parameters, as provided by KREON, (v) damages due to the breach of  any legal and/or other obligations, including the user’s manual and installation instructions, delivered with the goods, by the Buyer, his personnel or employees, a reseller and/or end-user,  (vi) damages caused by incorrect and/or incomplete information provided to the Buyer, reseller and/or end – user by the Buyer, manufacturer(s) and/or supplier(s) of the sold goods and/or any other third party.

10.5 KREON is not liable for any shortcoming in the performance of any obligation caused by force majeure or hardship.

10.6 In case of force majeure or hardship, as described in article 10.5,  KREON may, without prior notice of default or recourse to a court of law and without any right of recourse for the Buyer with regard to KREON, at its discretion: (1) propose to the Buyer to replace the missing products and/or components by a functional equivalent; (2) temporarily suspend performance of its obligations; (3) dissolve the agreement between KREON and the Buyer by registered letter and without recourse to a court of law; and/or (4) invite the Buyer to renegotiate the agreement between KREON and the Buyer. If the Buyer does not participate in good faith in the renegotiation, KREON may, in accordance with article 11 of these general terms and conditions, request the courts or an arbitrator to determine new contractual conditions and/or order the Buyer to pay compensation.

 

11. Disputes

11.1 Belgian law shall be applicable on all relations between KREON and the Buyer.

11.2 All disputes arising between the Buyer and KREON shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the registered office of KREON.
