1. The purchaser or the person placing the order is deemed to have full knowledge of these terms and conditions.

2. The purchaser or person placing the order must stipulate the operating conditions of the valve ordered on every single order. The operating conditions include such information as the temperature, operating pressure and medium, and other useful information which could affect/determine the correct operation, the maintenance, and the warranty of the valve during its installation and operation.

3. Orders and quotations will only be accepted on condition that these are signed by the customer and that a deposit is paid, or upon our order confirmation, although the latter is not binding.

4. The orders will be executed in the order in which they are received, subject to delivery from our suppliers. We do not in any case accept any responsibility for deliveries that may be delayed. A delay in delivery can never constitute grounds for the cancellation of the delivery.

5. All deliveries are supplied on a ‘cash on delivery’ basis, unless agreed otherwise and confirmed by ourselves. The purchaser will bear any risk related to the rate of exchange.

6. Any taxes, present and future, must be borne by the purchaser.

7. In the case of default of payment of an invoice on the due date, all former invoices will immediately fall due and late payment interest will be charged by law, and this without prior notification, at a rate of 18% per annum from the date of invoice. The debtor will automatically be placed in default without any deed being required and by the simple fact that the payment date has fallen due (Civil Code Art. 1139).

8. Without prejudice to the principal sum due and the aforementioned late payment interest, in the case of default of payment 10 days following despatch of the default notice, the debtor will owe compensation equivalent to 15% of the amount due, with a minimum of 25 Euros.

9 . Retention of title clause: the seller will retain title of the goods until the price has been settled in full. The purchaser will bear any risks. Any deposit paid will be acquired by the seller, to compensate for any possible losses incurred through resale.

10. In the case the purchaser processes or resells any goods belonging to the seller, he must immediately transfer to the seller any monies resulting from this resale.

11. If at the request of the person placing the order, the delivery note or invoice is issued in the name of a third party, the person having placed the order will remain liable and guarantee the payment.

12. Any business concluded by our sales representatives will only become valid after signature and confirmation in writing directly to the purchaser by the directors. Our agents or any other persons other than the directors are not authorised to receive any monies.

13. All goods are considered as delivered ex-works, and the risk and the cost of their transport will always be borne by the purchaser, even if their despatch is organised by ourselves. The packaging costs will also be borne by the purchaser. Returned packaging will only be accepted on a free of charge basis.

14. Any complaints concerning deliveries, invoices and such must take place in writing within 5 days following delivery of the goods, with a clear description of the defect or the complaint.

15. Returns will only be accepted upon our written agreement, subject to the quality and packaging method. The cost and the risk of the return transport will always be borne by the purchaser. They must only be returned to our address carriage paid.

The return of used goods is subject to our agreement, and this at a maximum of 50% of their retail value, and non-used goods at a maximum of 75% of their retail value.

16. The warranty on the materials or goods will be limited to the period covered by the manufacturer’s or supplier’s warranty. Our liability is purely limited to the exchange of a faulty item, despatched ex-works, and we do not accept any claim for compensation in any case.

17. Liability: our Company is insured against the risks associated with a possible accident and this to the value of 500,000 Euros per accident/loss. Any purchaser/ person placing the order or customers who consider the aforementioned amount to be insufficient, must in turn take out additional insurance to cover the remainder of the amount which they consider necessary.

18. We expressly decline any of the terms and conditions of our customers, unless these have been confirmed by our board of directors.

19. The tribunal of Mechelen will have sole competence to settle any dispute.

20. If our confidence in the credit worthiness of the purchaser is shaken by any legal action against the purchaser and/or by any other demonstrable events, which would put into question our confidence in the correct execution of any of the commitments entered into by the purchaser or make them unfeasible, we reserve the right, even if the goods have already been despatched in whole or in part, to cancel the entire order or part of the order and to demand the necessary guarantees from the customer. If the purchaser refuses to accept, we reserve the right to cancel the order, in whole or in part. All this without prejudice to our right to compensation.
