Article 1 – General

1. 1.1  These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter: “Terms and Conditions”) apply to all offers, orders and/or agreements between SOMSIX and the Purchasers for the sale and delivery of products and/or the provision of services and the performance thereof. Any deviations from or changes to these Terms and Conditions must be confirmed in writing by SOMSIX and will only apply to the relevant offer/order/agreement.

3. 1.3  Any general terms and conditions applied by the Purchaser are non-binding on SOMSIX, unless SOMSIX has agreed to them in writing.
4. 1.4  If SOMSIX has agreed in writing to the applicability of one or more deviating terms and conditions, these Terms and Conditions will remain in full force in all other respects.

Article 2 – Agreements and Changes

1. 2.1  An order placed by the Purchaser will be considered by SOMSIX to be an irrevocable offer.
2. 2.2  SOMSIX is only bound by an order placed with SOMSIX vis-à-vis the Purchaser if and as soon as SOMSIX has confirmed such order in writing within three (3) working days after receipt of the order for delivery, or if SOMSIX has commenced performing such order. SOMSIX explicitly reserves the right to determine the date of delivery upon said confirmation.
3. 2.3  The Purchaser shall notify SOMSIX in a timely fashion and in writing of any changes the Purchaser, after having placed an order, may desire in the performance thereof and such changes are only binding on SOMSIX if SOMSIX has also confirmed these in writing. The Purchaser will bear the risk of - correct or incorrect - performance of any orders given verbally or by telephone and/or changes in the performance thereof.
4. 2.4  Any changes to an order placed by the Purchaser, of any nature whatsoever, that entail higher costs than the costs that could be taken into account in the original quotation provided by SOMSIX, will be for the account of the Purchaser. If such changes lead to a cost reduction, the Purchaser cannot derive any right from this with regard to a reduction of the purchase price. However, SOMSIX may decide in its own discretion that such changes result in the payment of a lower purchase price.
5. 2.5  Any changes made may lead to SOMSIX exceeding the delivery period it indicated prior to the changes. This cannot be invoked against SOMSIX.
6. 2.6  Orders, order confirmations or other correspondence via e-mail and/or a signed fax are accepted by the parties as legally binding correspondence.

Article 3 – Offers and Quotations

3.1 All offers and price lists by SOMSIX are free of obligation, unless the offer explicitly states otherwise.

3.2 Descriptions and prices in offers are given subject to reservation and apply only by approximation. The Purchaser cannot derive any rights from any errors in an offer or price list.

The costs associated with such storage will be for the account of the Purchaser.

- in quantity: deviation of 10% compared to the relevant order.

Article 6 – Payment

Purchaser, including in any event the claims stated in Article 3:92(2) of the Dutch Civil Code, have been paid in full.

8.2 As long as the title to the goods has not passed to the Purchaser, the Purchaser is not entitled to pledge the goods or grant third parties any other rights to the goods.

8.3 The Purchaser is required to store the goods delivered under retention of title with due care and as the recognisable property of SOMSIX.

8.4 If the buyer is in default with its payment obligations, has payment difficulties or if such difficulties are impending, SOMSIX is entitled to repossess the goods delivered under retention of title and still held by the buyer. The Purchaser shall provide SOMSIX with free access at all times to its premises for the purpose of inspecting the goods and/or exercising the rights of SOMSIX.

8.5 The provisions above do not prejudice the other rights vested in SOMSIX.

8.6 With regard to a Purchaser established in Belgium, in the event of failure to pay on the due date, instead of Article 8.1 being applicable SOMSIX will be entitled to consider the sale null and void by operation of law and without notice of demand. SOMSIX retains the title to the goods until the price is paid in full. All risks will be borne by the Purchaser. Any advances paid remain acquired by SOMSIX as reimbursement for possible losses on resale. Articles 8.2 through 8.5 apply mutatis mutandis.

Article 10 – Engagement of Third Parties

In the event of a complaint based on a cause that reasonably could not have been discovered within this period, a term of five (5) days applies from the time

the cause could reasonably have been discovered. The foregoing notwithstanding, under no circumstances will SOMSIX accept complaints submitted after a period of fourteen (14) days following delivery of the products by SOMSIX. If a complaint is not in accordance with the aforementioned rules, it will not be accepted and the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the products.

1. 11.2 Minor deviations in the color of the textile and/or the coating and/or the print do not constitute grounds for the Purchaser to refuse the products.

For products of newly woven plastic, a deviation of approximately 2 cm, both in length and width, and a deviation of 5% in weight is permitted.
