General Terms and Conditions of Sale

1. Unless explicitly and in writing deviated from by us on a specific point, all our contracts are subject to these terms and conditions of sale, to the exclusion of those of the co-contractor. By placing an order, the co-contractor automatically accepts our terms and waives his own conditions.
2. The information contained in catalogs, brochures, and price lists is purely indicative and does not constitute any commitment on our part.
3. We reserve the right to modify or withdraw our offer at any time until it has been accepted by the co-contractor.
4. The agreement shall only be deemed final and valid upon our written confirmation of the order.
5. The prices mentioned in the agreement are calculated net based on the rates applicable on the date of the agreement, and always exclude taxes, duties, transport, and related costs. Any price increase by third-party suppliers before the delivery date will automatically and without prior notice lead to a revision of the prices stated in the agreement.
6. The indicated delivery and/or execution times are not binding and are merely indicative. Under no circumstances shall the co-contractor be entitled to claim compensation, of any kind, and/or terminate the agreement due to exceeding the indicated deadlines and/or publication dates. All cases of force majeure, fire, strikes, and government measures absolve us from any responsibility towards the co-contractor, and the agreement may be terminated without the co-contractor being entitled to any compensation.
7. We reserve the right to issue advance invoices for partially executed works, deliveries, and/or publications. Under no circumstances may the co-contractor postpone payment for any reason regarding the invoiced portion of the delivered goods, works, and/or publications. For orders concerning television broadcasts and recordings, an advance invoice corresponding to the production costs will be issued, regardless of the recording and broadcast dates.
8. If the co-contractor refuses to accept the goods, works, and/or publications they have ordered, either in full or in part, the agreement is automatically and without notice terminated at the expense of the co-contractor, who shall be required to pay a lump-sum compensation equal to 40% of the agreed contractual and/or outstanding amount.
9. Orders shall be executed in accordance with professional standards and based on the technical and aesthetic criteria we determine at our sole discretion, unless expressly specified otherwise in a special specification or specific agreement.
10. Goods always travel, regardless of the transport method used and even if delivered carriage paid, at the co-contractor's risk and responsibility.
11. Complaints regarding our delivered goods, works, and/or publications will only be accepted if they are submitted to us in writing by registered mail within 8 days of receipt of the goods and/or publication date. Complaints about invoiced amounts must also reach us by registered mail within 8 days of the invoice date to be admissible. A response to a late complaint does not constitute a waiver of the above and is always subject to all rights and without any prejudicial acknowledgment. When a complaint is acknowledged, either by the parties or by law, our liability is limited to repair or replacement, excluding any compensation for direct or indirect damages.
12. Any warranties we provide under specific terms of an agreement only apply if the delivered goods, works, and/or publications are used appropriately and any deficiencies are reported immediately. Warranties do not apply to repairs or replacements resulting from accidents, negligence, inappropriate use, or external causes such as communication or electricity distribution failures. Except for warranties explicitly stated in the specific terms of an agreement, no standard warranty is provided on delivered goods, works, and/or publications. We are also not responsible for the content accuracy of the delivered and/or published product.
13. All projects, technical or other data, electronically prepared files, models, drawings, and graphic designs relating to goods, works, and/or publications provided or referenced in an offer to the co-contractor remain our exclusive property and may not be copied or transferred to third parties. The production of clichés, films, electronic files, magnetic carriers, etc., necessary to execute the customer's order, may be charged separately.
14. The co-contractor issuing an execution, reproduction, and/or publication order is presumed to hold the copyrights and publication rights. We are also not responsible for the content provided to us (text, images, photos, etc.). The co-contractor acknowledges full responsibility in the event of any issues and shall indemnify us against any third-party claims.
15. Originals, clichés, paper, magnetic carriers, materials, and goods left by the co-contractor in our warehouses will be held available for three months. After that period, we may dispose of them at our discretion.
16. All types of packaging are charged extra and will not be taken back.
17. The goods, works, and/or publications we deliver remain our full property until complete payment, including any interest, costs, and compensation, has been made, by derogation from article 1583 of the Civil Code. Notwithstanding this retention of title, all risks associated with the goods, works, and/or publications are immediately transferred to the co-contractor.
18. We reserve the right to charge the co-contractor for materials returned in damaged condition based on their replacement value. The co-contractor is responsible for any loss and/or damage of any kind to the materials, even if caused by a third party or force majeure.
19. Unless stipulated otherwise, our invoices are payable in cash (within 14 days of invoice date) in Zedelgem. Payments to representatives, intermediaries or any other third party are not opposable to us, except for contractual deviation.
20. In case of non-payment by the due date, all outstanding amounts will automatically accrue interest at 1% per month, without prior notice. Any partial payments will be allocated first to overdue interest and costs. If payment is not made after a notice of default, a fixed compensation of 15% of the outstanding debt will be due, with a minimum of €250. In the event of legal proceedings, the debtor must also pay all legal and execution costs, as well as the fees of the appointed lawyer. The debtor may not invoke any set-off of debts unless expressly agreed to by us.
21. If an invoice is not paid by its due date, all other invoices, even those not yet due, become immediately payable by law, without notice.
22. In the event of non-payment or changes in the co-contractor's situation (e.g. death, incapacity, dissolution or change of company, protest of an accepted bill, financial instability, arrangement with creditors, bankruptcy, etc.), we are entitled to suspend all deliveries and/or publications and terminate any existing agreements without any right to compensation on the part of the co-contractor, without prejudice to our own right to compensation, interest, etc.
23. For all disputes, only the Ghent companies court is competent. Only we may deviate from this provision.
