Article 1: Applicability / Conversion

  1. These General Terms and Conditions apply to all legal relationships between Driessen International B.V.

  4. If, on the basis of reasonableness and fairness or due to the unreasonably burdensome nature of any provision in these General Terms and Conditions, a provision cannot be invoked, that provision shall be interpreted as closely as possible in a manner consistent with its content and purpose so that it can still be invoked. In that case, all other provisions of these General Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force.

By placing orders through our website, the Counterparty agrees to these General Terms and Conditions and reconfirms their applicability each time an order is placed on the Supplier’s website (nonpaints.com).

  6. The Counterparty is obliged, at the first request of the Supplier, to provide sufficient security immediately and in the form requested by the Supplier, and to supplement it if necessary, for the fulfillment of all its obligations.

  7. If the Counterparty fails to comply with a request as referred to in the previous paragraph within 14 days after a corresponding reminder, all its obligations towards the Supplier shall become immediately due and payable.

Article 10: Liability

  1. The Supplier’s liability for any damage incurred by the Counterparty as a result of (defects in) the performance of the agreement between the parties, the inadequacy of a delivered product or item, or any other circumstance, including unlawful acts by the Supplier, is at all times limited to reimbursement of the purchase price of the delivered product or the unperformed service. The Supplier shall never be liable for any other form of damage or compensation, in any form whatsoever, including, but not limited to, indirect damage, consequential damage of any kind, loss of profit, delay damage, etc.
  2. In all cases, the Supplier’s liability is limited to the invoice amount of the defective item or delivered service.

  5. The Counterparty shall indemnify the Supplier for all damage that the Supplier may suffer as a result of claims by third parties related to the goods or services delivered by the Supplier.

Article 11: Defects / Complaint Periods

  1. The Counterparty is required to inspect the delivered goods upon receipt. In doing so, the Counterparty shall verify whether the delivered goods comply with the agreement, including, but not limited to: 1. whether the correct goods have been delivered; 2. whether the delivered goods correspond to the agreed quantity and number; 3. whether the delivered goods meet the requirements for normal use and/or commercial purposes.

  3. Complaints regarding invoices must be submitted by the Counterparty to the Supplier in writing within 5 days of the invoice date.

Article 12: Warranty

  1. The warranty period commences at the moment of delivery of the goods.
  2. The warranty means that goods which exhibit material and/or construction defects shall, at the Supplier’s discretion, be repaired or replaced free of charge, or that the parts necessary for repair shall be provided, or that the relevant goods shall be replaced in their entirety, in accordance with the arrangement applicable or customary for the goods in question at the Supplier. Any goods so replaced or returned shall become the property of the Supplier and must be returned to the Supplier.
  3. Defects resulting from normal wear and tear or from any external cause not attributable to the Supplier are not covered by the warranty.
  4. The warranty rights shall lapse if the goods have been used incorrectly or negligently, or if any (repair) work or modifications have been carried out on the goods by the Counterparty or a third party without the prior written consent of the Supplier, unless such work or modifications are inherent to the intended use of the goods.
  5. If the Counterparty makes a claim under a warranty provided by the Supplier, the Counterparty must, within 14 days after receipt by the Supplier of the warranty claim, allow the Supplier to examine the relevant goods at a location determined by the Supplier. Failure to do so will result in the Counterparty having no rights under the warranty, unless the Counterparty’s actions or omissions do not justify the forfeiture of these rights.
  6. Once the Supplier has repaired or arranged for the repair of material and/or construction defects, or replaced the relevant goods under the warranty, the Supplier is fully discharged from its warranty obligations and shall not be liable for any further warranty claims or compensation, except in cases of intent or gross negligence by the Supplier or its managerial staff, or if liability arises under Title 3, Section 3, Book 6 of the Dutch Civil Code (product liability). The Counterparty may also not claim dissolution of the agreement with the Supplier on the basis of the identified material and/or construction defects, unless it is reasonable that the Counterparty could not be expected to maintain the agreement.

Article 13: Termination of the Agreement

  1. If the Counterparty fails, fails to timely fulfill, or fails properly to fulfill any obligation under an agreement with the Supplier, as well as in the event of bankruptcy, suspension of payments, judicial guardianship of the Counterparty, or the cessation or liquidation of its business, the Supplier, after having given written notice of default to the Counterparty, is entitled, without judicial intervention and without any obligation to pay damages and without prejudice to any other rights of the Supplier, to suspend the performance of the agreement and/or to terminate the agreement. In such cases, all claims that the Supplier may have against the Counterparty shall become immediately due and payable.

Article 14: Force Majeure

  1. Force majeure shall be understood to mean circumstances that prevent the performance of the agreement and which are neither caused by the Supplier nor attributable to the Supplier, such as, but not limited to, natural disasters, government measures (lockdowns), epidemics, war, terrorist attacks, or unforeseen technical failures, labor strikes, import restrictions, and disruptions or delays at the Supplier’s suppliers. This includes strikes or other third parties upon whom the Supplier depends.
  2. If the force majeure situation lasts longer than six months, both parties are entitled to terminate the agreement. In such a case, the Supplier shall not be obliged to compensate any costs or damages.
