Article 2 Applicability

2.1  The Terms and Conditions for the sale of Goods apply to all (future) offers, Quotations, Agreements and deliveries of Goods by Geartracking, unless the Parties have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.

2.2  If the Customer’s Order, confirmation or any other communication alleging acceptance of the Terms and Conditions for the sale of Goods includes any provisions that differ from, or are not included in the offer from Geartracking, a Quotation and/or these Terms and Conditions for the sale of Goods, such provisions will only be binding upon Geartracking if and in so far as Geartracking has accepted them explicitly in writing.

2.3  If any of these Terms and Conditions for the sale of Goods shall be null and/or void or if one or more Terms and Conditions for the sale of Goods are annulled, this shall have no consequences for the applicability of the other terms included herein. Should such a situation occur, then the Parties shall agree on new terms in replacement of such annulled or null or void term(s), which shall be consistent with the purpose and purport of the annulled or null or void term(s).

2.4  The Customer guarantees that the individual who places any Orders, requests or accepts any offers, Quotations and/or requests thereto and/or performs any other (legal) acts in relation to the sale and purchase of Goods and/or any other acts in relation to the Goods, is lawfully representing the Customer, regardless the legal form of the Customer.

Article 3 Conclusion of the Agreement

3.1  Promises made in any offers, Quotations, catalogs, brochures and price lists shall not serve to bind Geartracking and shall only be applicable as an invitation to Customer to submit an Order for the purchase of Goods.

3.2  An Agreement shall only be concluded if and when Geartracking has confirmed the Customer’s Order in writing. Customer’s acceptance of a Quotation shall also be interpreted as an Order.

3.3  Geartracking reserves the right to reject Orders before its confirmation, without being required to provide any reason.

3.4  Obvious errors (kennelijke vergissingen) or any other honest mistakes made in any offer or Quotation from Geartracking, to be determined at Geartracking's sole and reasonable discretion, shall not serve to bind Geartracking.

3.5  Any order confirmation from Geartracking will be deemed to accurately and completely reflect the Agreement. The Customer is required to verify the contents of each order confirmation without undue delay and must, in case the Customer is of an opinion that the order confirmation does not accurately reflect the Agreement, object to Geartracking in writing within a period not exceeding two calendar days from the date the order confirmation was sent. If the Customer does not object within the aforementioned period, the order confirmation shall be considered verified and accepted by the Customer. In case of a timely received objection from the Customer, the Parties will jointly resolve the issue and determine the correct contents of the Agreement followed by a newly issued order confirmation to be sent by Geartracking which confirmation shall also be subject to this clause.

3.6  If, after conclusion of the Agreement, it appears that Geartracking's offer or Quotation was based on incorrect or incomplete information as provided by the Customer, Geartracking will have the right to unilaterally amend and correct the Agreement accordingly.

3.7  In the event that unforeseen circumstances arise between the date of conclusion of the Agreement and its execution, which circumstances increase the cost or expenses of Geartracking to execute the Agreement and which have not been included in the agreed prices, Geartracking shall be entitled to unilaterally adapt its prices accordingly to a reasonable extent.

3.8  If and when an Order is accepted by Geartracking, an Agreement will be formed that cannot be canceled (opzeggen), dissolved (ontbinden), annulled (vernietigen) or terminated (anderszins beëindigd) by the Customer other than stipulated in the Agreement. The Customer hereby renounces his right to dissolve, annul and/or alter the Agreement based on article 6:265 and further, article 6:228 respectively article 6:230 of the Dutch Civil Code.

3.9  The Agreement may only be amended with the Parties’ mutual consent, except insofar as the Agreement provides otherwise.

Article 4 Delivery

4.1  None of the (delivery) periods stated or agreed by Geartracking are fatal deadlines. Geartracking will make a proper effort to honor the (delivery) periods as much as reasonably possible. If delivery does not take place on, or within the applicable delivery period, Geartracking shall endeavor to inform the Customer accordingly in writing.

4.2  The mere fact that a (delivery) period or (delivery) date, final or otherwise, specified by Geartracking or agreed between the Parties has been exceeded, shall not mean that Geartracking is in default. Geartracking shall not be in default until such time as the Customer has given proper written notice of default, granting Geartracking a reasonable period of time to remedy the default.

4.3  If certain Goods are not in stock, or permanently out of stock, Geartracking will have the right to deliver the Goods in parts or, at Geartracking's reasonable discretion, to deliver similar Goods in terms of quality and price.

4.4  Unless agreed otherwise in writing, transport shall take place at the cost and risk of the Customer and the Customer shall be responsible for reporting to Geartracking any missing or damaged Goods upon receipt and to file the proper notification for claim with the carrier, unless Geartracking has notified the Customer it shall file such claim.

4.5  Without prejudice to the previous clause, in any case, the risk of loss, theft or damage of the Goods shall pass to the Customer no later than at the time at which the Customer or an auxiliary person of the Customer comes into possession thereof.

4.6  If the Customer fails to indicate that the delivered Goods do not (according to the Customer) comply with the Agreement by written notice to Geartracking within a period of seven (7) days after delivery, or if the Customer takes the delivered Goods into operational use, in full or in part, then the delivered Goods will be deemed to comply with the Agreement. Any notice shall include a detailed description of the issue at hand, to enable Geartracking to react adequately. The Customer shall provide Geartracking with the opportunity to investigate any of Customer’s claims.

4.7  Goods delivered can be returned only with Geartracking's prior written consent, under reasonable conditions to be set by Geartracking. All costs related to return shipment will be borne by the Customer, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise in writing.

4.8  If the Customer refuses to accept delivery of the Goods or fails to provide the information or instructions required for the delivery as agreed, the Goods shall be stored at the cost and risk of the Customer.

4.9 Geartracking shall be allowed to engage third parties in the execution of the Agreement.

Article 5 Pricing

5.1 All prices communicated by Geartracking shall be in Euros and are excluding VAT and other government levies, installation, duties or custom fees, transport costs, unless the Agreement expressly indicates otherwise.

Article 6 Payment

6.1 All amounts owed in consideration for the purchase of Goods, if any, are immediately payable when Goods are ordered by the Customer through Geartracking's website, or else, amounts will be invoiced digitally prior to delivery of the Goods. In case of payment by invoice, amounts must be paid within fourteen (14) days after the invoice date, unless the invoice mentions otherwise. Geartracking reserves the right to suspend delivery in case payment has not yet been received in full prior to delivery.

6.2  If the Customer fails to pay the amounts due within the agreed term, the Customer will be liable for payment of the statutory commercial interest, referred to in Section 6:119a of the Dutch Civil Code, on the outstanding amount, as well as any extrajudicial costs, including costs for lawyers, bailiffs and legal experts, without notice of default being required. In addition, Geartracking will be entitled to suspend its performance of the Agreement until all amounts due have been paid.

6.3  A claim for payment becomes immediately due and payable in the event the Customer is declared bankrupt, applies for a suspension of payment, all or part of its assets are attached or is liquidated.

6.4  Any amount due shall be paid by the Customer without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim. The Customer shall not have the right to suspend payment. If any amount due under the Agreement has not been received within the period mentioned in the Agreement, the Customer shall be in default without any further notice being required.

Article 7 Retention of Title

7.1 All Goods (to be) delivered to the Customer under the Agreement shall remain the property of Geartracking (or its suppliers) until such time as all amounts owed by the Customer to Geartracking pursuant to the Agreement have been paid in full.

Article 8 Warranty

8.1  Goods purchased by the Customer may be subject to manufacturer's warranty in certain cases. Information on the manufacturer's warranty can be found on the website or in the documentation provided by the manufacturer along with the Goods. When claiming the manufacturer's warranty, the Customer will have to revert to the relevant manufacturer.

8.2  The warranty on Goods as supplied by Geartracking is limited to the warranty, if any, as provided by the manufacturer of the Goods. Title 7.1 of Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code does not apply to the Agreement insofar it relates to warranty, and warranty related remedies.

For the purposes of the Agreement, indirect damages include lost savings, loss of profit, damage to reputation and damage due to business interruption.

9.2  Without prejudice to the foregoing, Geartracking's liability for direct damages is per Agreement limited to the amount (excluding VAT) that the Customer has paid Geartracking under the Agreement.

9.3 Geartracking's liability for an attributable failure to perform the Agreement only arises if the Customer gives Geartracking prompt and proper written notice of default, giving Geartracking a reasonable time period to remedy the default, and Geartracking continues to fail to perform its obligations even after that time period. The notice of default must contain as detailed a description of the breach as possible so that Geartracking is able to respond adequately.

9.4  The limitation of liability as referred to in the previous paragraphs will lapse if and to the extent that the damage is the result of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of Geartracking's management.

9.5  Any right to compensation is subject to the condition that the Customer notifies Geartracking in writing of the damage within thirty (30) days after its discovery.
