General terms and conditions of sale

  1. The purchaser's order entails the application of our general terms and conditions of sale.
  2. The purchaser's unreserved acceptance of the goods at the time of their delivery amounts to an acknowledgement of their perfect quality.
  3. Down payments made by the purchaser are to be deducted from the order price; they do not constitute deposits whose relinquishment would authorise the parties to release themselves from the contract.
  4. Delivery dates given are always approximate. The expiry of a delivery date does not cancel the sales contract. Where relevant, cancellation will be effective only after formal notice or a final reasonable deadline has been given. On the other hand, in the event of force majeure, among other things in the event of a fire, strike, epidemic or disease, war, floods, storm damage, changes to customs' tariffs, taxes, etc., we have the right to consider the orders null and void, similarly when an event of this type affects one of our suppliers.
  5. The supplied goods, articles and products will become the purchaser's property only following payment of the invoice in full.
  6. If the purchaser cancels the order unilaterally, we reserve the right either to demand its fulfilment or to claim compensation equal to thirty per cent of the order value.
  7. In the event of cancellation by the purchaser and without waiving our rights to the compensation stipulated in article 6, any deposits paid when the order is place will not be refunded.
  8. Drawings, photographs and catalogues remain our exclusive property and must not, under any circumstances, be passed on to third parties.
  9. Goods are always transported, regardless of the method of dispatch or transport, at the risks of the purchaser, even in the case of free delivery.
  10. Our invoices are payable to Chaudfontaine (Beaufays). Our bills of exchange or receipts do not depart from this rule.
  11. Any invoice is deemed accepted by the purchaser unless said purchaser has contested it by registered letter sent within eight days of the invoice being sent.
  12. Our invoices are payable in cash. In the event of late payment, without the need for formal notice, the sum payable will, ipso jure, be subject to monthly interest payments of 1.5%. In addition, in the event of non-payment, in order to compensate us for the loss suffered, the sum payable will be increased by 15 % with a minimum of € 75.00 after no response to our reminder has been received by us for eight days from its date of postage.
  13. Fulfilment of our orders may be suspended or even refused if previous invoices have been paid later than the due date or if they remain outstanding.
  14. In the event of judicial debt recovery or dispute, the Court of First Instance of Liège, the Trade Tribunal of Liège or the Justice of the Peace of the second canton of Liège will have sole jurisdiction.
