1.2. All of CLEANSEAT's offers shall be without obligation and shall only bind CLEANSEAT if an offer is followed by a written confirmation from CLEANSEAT that an agreement has been concluded.

1.3. If, in the acceptance of an offer made by CLEANSEAT, reservations or changes are made with respect to the offer, the agreement shall not be concluded unless and until CLEANSEAT informs the Customer in writing that it consents to these deviations from the offer.
Art. 2.1. Changes in the agreement and deviations from these General Delivery and Payment Terms and Conditions shall only become effective if confirmed in writing by CLEANSEAT.
2.2. If changes result in the costs being increased or decreased, an ensuing change in the purchase price must be confirmed by CLEANSEAT BV in writing.
Art. 3.1. Orders shall be executed based on the price list adopted by CLEANSEAT as this applies on the day of delivery.
3.2. If prices have been agreed on another basis, they shall be binding. Insofar as these prices have been based on the amount of the wage costs, social security contributions and government charges, freight and insurance premiums, the price of raw materials, the costs of materials and parts, exchange rates and/or other costs applicable at the time, CLEANSEAT shall, in the event that one or more of these price factors increases or decreases, be entitled to increase or decrease its prices accordingly, in which case the Customer shall be entitled to rescind the agreement within eight days after written notice by CLEANSEAT of this price change.
Art. 4.1. CLEANSEAT undertakes vis-á-vis the Customer to deliver the goods sold to it in accordance with the description, quality and amount described in the offer (as possibly changed later).
4.2. CLEANSEAT undertakes vis-á-vis the Customer to deliver goods which:
a. Have been manufactured from quality materials and have a sound construction;
b. Are as similar as possible to any samples or models which have been made available or furnished by CLEANSEAT and/or the Customer. Statements by CLEANSEAT in illustrations, drawings, catalogues etc. concerning size, capacity, performance or results shall not bind it: these shall be deemed to have been furnished as an approximation.
4.3. CLEANSEAT guarantees that the design, composition and quality of the goods which must be delivered under the order shall, in all respects, meet all relevant, applicable requirements provided by law and/or other relevant government regulations which are in effect at the time the agreement is concluded.

The Customer shall not be entitled to rescind the agreement until after this additional one-month period has expired.
6.4. Exceeding the delivery period as described above shall not give rise to any right of the Customer to any damages - however termed.
6.5. If - with due observance of the foregoing - the Customer seeks to rescind the agreement because the delivery period has been exceeded - including the aforementioned additional one month period - the Customer shall not be entitled either to any right to damages against CLEANSEAT.
Art. 7.1. The delivery periods mentioned in the previous Article shall be extended by the period during which CLEANSEAT is prevented from performing its obligations due to a situation of force majeure.
7.2. A situation of force majeure shall exist for CLEANSEAT if, after concluding the agreement, CLEANSEAT is prevented from performing its obligations under this agreement or from preparing to do so because of war, threat of war, civil war, riots, acts of war, fire, water damage, flooding, strikes, plant occupation, lockouts, import and export impediments, government measures, defects in machines, disruptions in the power supply, all of this both at CLEANSEAT's company and at third parties from which CLEANSEAT must purchase the necessary raw or other materials in whole or in part, as well as with respect to storage or during transport, whether or not under its own management, and, further, because of all other factors arising beyond the scope of CLEANSEAT's risk or not arising through CLEANSEAT's fault.
7.3. If the delivery is delayed by more than two months due to force majeure, both CLEANSEAT and the Customer shall be entitled to rescind the agreement.

10.2. CLEANSEAT's liability shall be limited to repairing a defect in the item or replacing that item or a part of it free of charge, such at CLEANSEAT's discretion. Any further liability on the part of CLEANSEAT for direct and/or indirect damage suffered by the Customer shall be excluded. The Customer shall indemnify CLEANSEAT against third-party claims for damages arising from the use of goods delivered by CLEANSEAT.

11.5. Each transaction shall be considered a separate transaction in the sense that complaints pertaining to a certain delivery shall not give rise to any rights regarding previous deliveries or deliveries still to follow.

In the event of late payment, the Customer shall be in default by operation of law. The claim for payment of the purchase price and other amounts owed by the Customer to CLEANSEAT, as well as the appropriate interest, shall be immediately due and payable in such a case without any notice of default being required. The Customer shall also be liable in that case for the damage suffered by CLEANSEAT consisting of, for example, lost profits, transport costs, storage costs and the like and the costs for the notice of default.
12.5. If, in the event of a failure by the Customer to perform any obligation under the agreement, CLEANSEAT takes extrajudicial measures, the Customer shall be responsible for the related costs. These costs shall amount to at least 20% of the invoice amount, with a minimum of € 1000.
Art. 13.1.

CLEANSEAT shall have the option in that case of rescinding the agreement concluded with the Customer in whole or in part.
13.2. Without prejudice to the provisions of the previous paragraph, the agreement shall be rescinded, without any notice of default being required, at the time that the Customer is put into involuntary liquidation, requests a temporary or permanent suspension of payments, or loses the power to dispose of its assets or portions thereof through attachment, a guardianship order or otherwise, unless the trustee or administrator acknowledges the obligations arising under this agreement as a claim against the estate and offers to satisfy them - while providing security.
13.3. As a result of the rescission described in the previous paragraphs, the mutually existing claims shall become immediately due and payable. The Customer shall be liable for the damage suffered by CLEANSEAT, consisting of, for example, lost profits and transport and storage costs.

Art. 14.1. Every agreement concluded by CLEANSEAT with the Customer shall be entered into subject to the suspensive condition that information to be obtained by CLEANSEAT sufficiently shows - in CLEANSEAT's judgment - the Customer's creditworthiness.

Art. 15.1. All disputes, including those only regarded as such by one of the Parties, which may arise in connection with the agreement related to these Terms and Conditions, or in connection with the agreements ensuing from that agreement, shall be submitted to the judgement of the competent court in The HAGUE, The Netherlands, without prejudice to the Parties' right to obtain decisions from the Preliminary Relief Judge of The Hague District Court adjudicating in Preliminary Relief Proceedings.
