Terms and Conditions Datarecuperatie

These terms apply to all our deliveries and assignments. A question about a clause? Do call or write — we are happy to explain.

Application

1
These terms always apply

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all our contracts or deliveries are made exclusively under the following conditions, which form an integral part of the agreement. They apply, regardless of the terms and conditions of the contracting partner.

2
An invalid clause does not affect the rest

The possible invalidity of a clause or part thereof does not affect the validity of other clauses or parts thereof.

Quotations and orders

3
Quotations are valid for fourteen days

Unless otherwise agreed, the specifications and price offers of DATARECUPERATIE only apply for a
term of fourteen days. No commitment made by the representatives or agents of
DATARECUPERATIE is accepted if it has not been approved in writing by the manager of DATARECUPERATIE.

4
Cancelling an order

Delivered materials are not taken back by DATARECUPERATIE. In case of cancellation of the order or
termination of the agreement by the contracting partner, DATARECUPERATIE has the choice between the forced
execution or payment of a lump sum compensation of 30% of the value of the order, without prejudice to its right to prove that our damage, consisting of loss of profit and all costs, is greater.

5
Prices may be adjusted

The contract prices in the quotations are calculated on the basis of the wages, raw materials, materials and other cost price elements on the day the quotation is drawn up. If these changes are made, DATARECUPERATIE reserves the right to adjust the prices in a proportionate manner.

6
Delivery dates are approximate

The offers of DATARECUPERATIE are made without commitment as regards the delivery and execution dates, which
are always approximate. Non-compliance with the deadlines can only give rise to a claim for damages or termination of the contract if the delivery or acceptance has not been carried out within a reasonable period of time after receipt of a registered notice of default from the contracting partner and in the event of force majeure, as a result of which the execution period is simply suspended. If a specific price agreement is made in the special terms and conditions, which is linked to a specific term, this term can at most be extended by the same term due to exceptional circumstances – usually of a technical nature – without a price reduction being charged.

Delivery and ownership

7
Where delivery takes place

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the goods are always sold and delivered in the
registered office of DATARECUPERATIE. The goods can be sent by DATARECUPERATIE to the
co-contracting party (at the latter's risk) for a cost of at least 20.00 euros, VAT excl.
Goods awaiting delivery or collection are also at the risk of the contracting partner.

8
Shipping costs are for the customer

The delivery or dispatch of goods at the request of the contracting partner and/or customer is always at the expense of the contractor,
co-contracting party and/or customer (including any customs duties) and under its responsibility.

9
Ownership passes after payment

Delivered goods remain the property of DATARECUPERATIE until full payment of the principal and accessories. However, the risk passes to the contracting partner from the moment of sale, or at least from the time of delivery.

Complaints, warranty and liability

10
Complaints within eight days

Any complaints must be sent by registered letter and within eight days after receipt of the delivery or after execution of the order, with a clear description of the defects that enables DATARECUPERATIE to fully take cognizance of the defects. After acceptance of the delivered good, no complaints regarding visible defects will be accepted.

11
Warranty on delivered goods

The warranty for delivered goods is only given insofar as this is provided by the supplier or manufacturer at the time of delivery. Any warranty obligation of DATARECUPERATIE lapses if the client itself makes changes or repairs to the delivered goods or has them carried out by third parties or if the delivered goods are used for other than normal purposes or have been treated or maintained injudiciously. Hidden defects must be notified to DATA RECUPERATIE by registered letter within eight days after the discovery of the hidden defect, failing which they will no longer be accepted. In addition, the parties agree that the short term within which the co-contracting party must submit its claim (Article 1648 of the Dutch Civil Code) is three months from the discovery of the defect.

12
No liability for consequential loss

Under no circumstances can the DATARECUPERATIE be held liable for lost profits, indirect or
consequential or unforeseeable damage.

Payment

13
Invoices are payable in cash

The invoices are payable in cash in Ypres, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The recovered data will only be transferred after payment of the invoice. The sending of the invoice serves as a reminder. The invoice is deemed to have been accepted in the absence of protest by registered letter within eight days of the invoice date. No deduction for guarantee, cash payment or for any other reason may be applied by the contracting partner.

14
Interest on late payment

Any invoice that remains unpaid in whole or in part on the set due date will, by operation of law and without
notice of default, increased by an interest of 12% per year from the due date until the day of full payment.

15
Compensation for non-payment

In the event of even partial non-payment of an invoice on the due date, as a result of negligence and without serious reason, the invoice amount will be increased without notice of default by a fixed compensation of 12%, with a minimum of 125.00 euros and a maximum of 2,500.00 euros and this without prejudice to the legal costs and the costs of implementation.

16
Suspension on non-payment

In the event of non-payment of a single invoice on the due date, DATARECUPERATIE reserves the right to
prior notice of default to stop further deliveries and works and the balances of all other invoices
immediately due.

17
Right of retention

Without prejudice to the legal right of retention, DATARECUPERATIE is entitled to any matter of the client, which it
has been made available in any way, to the full satisfaction of all that
DATARECUPERATIE for whatever reason has to be claimed from the contracting partner, unless the contracting partner has provided a sufficient guarantee or security for the value of that claim.

Termination

18
When we may terminate the agreement

DATARECUPERATIE reserves the right to consider the agreement dissolved by operation of law and without prior notice of default, without any compensation being required:
- in the event of bankruptcy, WCO, apparent insolvency, protested bill of exchange, dissolution of the company as well as in the event of any change in the legal situation of the co-contracting party
- in the event that DATARECUPERATIE is unable to perform the contract due to force majeure, strike, lock-out, fire, flood and any accident or incident that interferes with the normal course of our business, such as a well-known shortage of skilled or unskilled workers, bankruptcy suppliers, etc...

Disputes

19
Competent court

All disputes fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Ypres division of the competent Courts, without prejudice to the right of DATARECUPERATIE to bring the dispute before the Court of the domicile, registered office, administrative seat, operating seat, branch and/or office of the contracting partner. This jurisdiction arrangement is not changed when bills of exchange are drawn on the co-contracting party.

20
Belgian law

All disputes will be governed solely by Belgian law.

These terms form part of every agreement with Datarecuperatie BV. Where they conflict with arrangements expressly recorded in writing, the latter prevail.
