Unless agreed otherwise in writing, we shall not accept any liability whatsoever in connection with the use of our products for non-expressed purposes.
Article 4 – Prices and Payment. Our goods shall be invoiced in accordance with the price in force on the date of the order.

Any disputes regarding an invoice must be addressed to us in writing within ten days of its issue. Complaints addressed after this period or by other means will not be considered. Invoices still outstanding by their due date shall automatically and without further notice be increased by late-payment interest at the official rate plus three percent. Moreover, in the event of non-payment by the due date, the amount of the invoice shall be increased, without prior notice, by a fixed penalty of 10% without prejudice to our right to claim the amount of any loss actually incurred by us as a result of the non-payment. It is expressly stipulated that the drawing up of bills of exchange or the acceptance of other modes of payment shall not constitute the novation of the invoice, nor lead to any dispensation from the present clause. Credit terms are established on an individual basis. Special orders require a 50% deposit. Product not picked up or shipped within 15 days of shipment notification must be paid for in full to guarantee unit availability.
