    1.3  Departures from these general terms and conditions will only be valid if expressly agreed to in writing by Ockyz.
    1.4  Insofar as these general terms and conditions are also drawn up in a language other than English, in the event of any conflict the English text shall always prevail.
    1.5  The term 'in writing' shall have the following meaning: by letter, by fax or by                   e-mail.
     
    2     Offers and conclusion of agreement  
    2.1 All offers made by Ockyz shall be free of obligation, even if they contain an acceptance period.
    2.2  An agreement shall come into effect once Ockyz has confirmed the order in writing.
    2.3  Any agreement will be concluded under the resolutive that the buyer, according to the credit insurance company or to Ockyz, will be sufficient creditworthy.
    2.4 Any offer made or undertaking given by a representative of Ockyz shall only be binding insofar as the latter confirms this in writing.
    2.5 Any models, designs, drawings, samples or examples supplied and / or shown with the offer are considered to be indicative only unless otherwise agreed in writing.
     
    3     Prices
    3.1   Unless otherwise agreed in writing prices shall be stated in euro, exclusive of VAT and other taxes and are based on Ex Works (EXW, Incoterms® 2010).
    3.2  The prices payable by the buyer shall be those set forth in Ockyz's price-list in force at the time the order is received by Ockyz.
    3.3  Any price cited by Ockyz shall be based on the existing monetary conditions, labour costs, procurement prices, duties, taxes and other levies, subsidies and the like prevailing at the time the agreement concerned is concluded. In the event that one or more of these cost price components increase after conclusion of the agreement but before the relevant products have been delivered, Ockyz shall be entitled to pass on any reasonable price increase to the buyer.
     
    4     Delivery
    4.1 The terms and conditions of delivery shall be agreed per transaction. All terms and conditions of delivery shall apply in accordance with Incoterms® 2010.
    4.2  Delivery times shall be determined per transaction. The delivery time shall commence at such time as the relevant agreement is concluded in accordance with clause 2, Ockyz is in possession of all documents and details to be provided by the buyer and Ockyz has also accepted any security for payment which may have been agreed or have received any prepayment.
    4.3  Unless otherwise agreed, a specified delivery time shall under no circumstances be deemed to constitute a fatal date. Ockyz shall not be in default in respect of such delivery time until the buyer notifies it in writing that it is in default, in doing so stipulates a reasonable period of time within which Ockyz has the opportunity to effect delivery, and the latter still fails to do so.
    4.4  If the time for delivery is exceeded, the buyer shall not be entitled to cancel or terminate the agreement, unless the time for delivery is exceeded with more than 8 weeks. The buyer will never be entitled to any compensation in case of late delivery.
    4.5  The buyer’s failure to comply with his duty to effect payment (or to do so on time), shall have the effect of suspending Ockyz's duty to effect a delivery.
    4.6  Ockyz reserves the right to effect a delivery in parts. Each partial delivery shall be deemed to represent a separate agreement. Ockyz shall be entitled to demand payment for each partial delivery before proceeding with any other.
    4.7  In the event that the buyer has not accepted the products at the time that these are delivered to him, the products will be stored at the expense and risk of the buyer. Ockyz shall be entitled to consider the agreement as dissolved with immediate effect, all this while reserving all other rights of Ockyz.
     
    5     Payment
    5.1  Ockyz shall at all times have the right to demand full or partial payment in advance. As to all other sales, payment must be made by the buyer within 30 days after the relevant invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payment must be made into an account which is designated by Ockyz for this purpose, without any discount, suspension or claim of compensation unless otherwise agreed in writing.
    5.2  Payment made by the buyer will first be applied to settle all interest and costs          payable and subsequently for those invoices that have been outstanding for the longest periods. This will also be the case if the buyer states that the payment relates to a later invoice.       
    5.3  In the event that payment is not effected on time, the buyer shall be deemed to be in default without the need for any notice of default or judicial intervention, and he shall be charged an interest over the amount due of 1,5% per month or part of a month from the moment of default. All costs involved in collecting the amount due, both judicial and extrajudicial, shall be for the account of the buyer. The extrajudicial costs owed will never be less than 15% of the sum to be collected subject to a minimum of  € 200,-. If Ockyz can prove that it has incurred higher costs, that were necessary in all fairness, then these, too, shall be eligible for compensation. 
    5.4  Furthermore, subject to any other rights Ockyz may have pursuant to the law or the agreement, in the absence of timely payment it shall be entitled either to suspend further delivery or to terminate all or part of the relevant agreement without the need for a notice of default or judicial intervention, such at its own discretion and subject to Ockyz's right to seek compensation for any harm it has suffered.
    5.5 At any rate, the entire purchase price shall fall due with immediate effect in the event that the buyer fails to effect timely payment or if he goes bankrupt, is granted a suspension of payments, is placed in the care of a guardian, his possessions are attached, he dies insofar as he is a natural person, or in the event that the buyer’s business is liquidated or dissolved.
    5.6   Upon or after entering into the agreement and before its implementation, Ockyz will be entitled to demand a guarantee from the buyer that both the payment obligations and any other obligations arising from this agreement will be fulfilled. Refusal by the buyer to provide the required security gives Ockyz the right to suspend its obligations and ultimately, without any notice of default or legal intervention, the right to dissolve the contract wholly or partially, without prejudice to his right to compensation for any damages suffered by him.
     
    6     Retention of title
    6.1 The products supplied shall remain the property of Ockyz until all that is owed for the supply of those products, including any costs, damages and interest, as well as any amount payable due to the buyer’s failure to comply with his obligations pursuant to this agreement or any other, is paid in full.
    6.2  The buyer is obliged to keep and/or render the products subject to retention of title in Ockyz’s favour identifiable and to keep them separate from each other and from other products held by the buyer.       
    6.3 Until title to the products passes to the buyer, the buyer shall not be entitled to transfer title to them to a third party, to tender them by way of security, to encumber or to pledge them, or to place them at the disposal of a third party in any other way. Nevertheless, the buyer shall be entitled to sell these products in the normal conduct of his business.
    6.4  The buyer has a duty of care with regard to the products covered by the retention of title and must insure them and keep them insured against all of the risks customary in the sector.  
    6.5  The buyer shall at all times help Ockyz exercise its right of ownership. As long as retention of title applies, the buyer shall have a duty to grant Ockyz access to his buildings and premises.
    6.6  When first so requested by Ockyz, the buyer shall be obliged to pledge to Ockyz any accounts receivable he acquires in respect of products supplied by Ockyz which are subject to retention of title and have been sold to his buyers.
     
    7     Complaints
    7.1  The buyer is obliged to check the products upon delivery for any visible and/or immediately observable defects. If the buyer fails to report defects within 2 working days after the date of delivery, the buyer will be considered to have approved the products supplied and complaints will no longer be considered. Defects which can only be observed at a later stage, shall be reported to Ockyz within 14 working days after delivery.
    7.2  The buyer shall provide Ockyz with the opportunity to investigate or have investigate the complaint. The buyer shall grant all necessary co-operation with the investigation.
    7.3  Small deviations in colour, finish and size are permissible in the business and will not be accepted as grounds for a complaint.
     
    7.4   Complaints do not postpone the payment obligations of the buyer unless the buyer has the express written permission of Ockyz in this respect.
                                                                                                                                                        
    7.5   In cases of a justified and timely claim Ockyz will, acting at its own discretion, either redeliver free of charge or credit the buyer.
     
    7.6  Products in which regard a rightful claim has been lodged may only be returned to  Ockyz with the prior written approval of Ockyz.

    8.2  In all cases where Ockyz is obliged to pay compensation for damages, the aggregate liability of Ockyz to buyer under any theory or ground shall at all times be confined to the net invoice value of the products concerned or to that part of the net invoice value to which a claim for compensation is directly or indirectly related. Total compensation for damages payable by Ockyz shall in no event exceed € 2.500,- per event, whereby a series of related events will be considered as a single event.
