Article 4 Delivery

  1. Delivery, unless otherwise agreed, shall be made from the warehouse. Unless otherwise agreed, delivery shall be DAP (Delivered At Place), according to the latest Incoterms in force.
  2. The buyer is obliged to take delivery of the purchased goods at the time when
    these are delivered to him or at the time when, according to the
    agreement are made available to him. If the buyer refuses to take delivery or is negligent in providing information or instructions necessary for delivery, the items will be stored at the buyer's risk.

  3. Troedoor is entitled to make partial deliveries provided they do not lead to an increase in costs for the Buyer.
  4. The risk relating to the products will pass to the Buyer at the time of delivery. Delivery is deemed to have taken place once the products have been presented to the Buyer and the Buyer (or its employee) has signed them for receipt. Delivery is also deemed to have taken place once the Buyer (or his employee) has signed for receipt of the products offered by Troedoor, but that delivery has proved impossible in the judgment of Troedoor.
  5. If delivery of the products to the Buyer proves impossible due to circumstances not attributable to Troedoor, or if the Buyer does not accept the products, then the Buyer is in default without notice of default and the Buyer is liable to compensate all of Troedoor's resulting losses. In that case, Troedoor is entitled to store the products at Troedoor's expense and risk of the Buyer without prejudice to the Buyer's obligation to pay the invoice amount due on the due date and, for that matter, without prejudice to what is stated in article 8 regarding retention of title. Troedoor can also choose in this case to redeliver the products to third parties, on the understanding that the Buyer, apart from the damage and storage costs incurred as mentioned above, will bear the difference in the invoice prices.

Article 5 Delivery time

  1. The statement of delivery time is approximate and is based on the circumstances prevailing for Troedoor at the time of this statement. This delivery time will be observed by Troedoor as much as possible.
  2. If Troedoor requires data or auxiliary means for the execution of the Agreement that must be provided by the Buyer, the delivery time can never begin until the day that all the necessary data or auxiliary means are in Troedoor's possession.
  3. Troedoor has the right to delay delivery. If the delivery time is exceeded, the Buyer is not entitled to any damages or compensation otherwise. Buyer shall in that case also not be entitled to rescind the agreement, unless the exceeding of the delivery time of the relevant products is such that Buyer cannot reasonably be required to maintain that particular part of the agreement. In this case, the Buyer shall be entitled to rescind the agreement however only insofar as it concerns late delivered/to be delivered products as referred to above.
  4. Troedoor is permitted to deliver goods in parts. This does not apply if a partial delivery has no independent value. If the goods are delivered in parts, Troedoor is authorized to invoice each part separately.

  2. Troedoor gives no warranty on items that must meet specific technical requirements at the Buyer's request. If the Buyer has different technical requirements, he must request these in writing and expressly to Troedoor at the conclusion of the purchase agreement. Items that need to meet specific requirements should be ordered by signed detail drawing.
  3. Insofar as a warranty is given by Troedoor, this warranty goes no further than supplying new parts (to replace what is faulty). In monetary terms, it shall not exceed the invoice value of the delivered goods, insofar as the delivered goods are defective. In the case of manufacturer's warranty, then this warranty applies to the Buyer with Troedoor as intermediary.
  4. If defects in the item reveal themselves after two years from delivery, Troedoor is never liable for this, unless the nature of the product dictates otherwise.
  5. Any form of guarantee lapses if the defect is the result of improper assembly, injudicious or improper use of Troedoor's products. In the event that the Buyer itself or third parties have made changes to the delivered item, the warranty shall also lapse. Nor is a claim under the guarantee possible if the defect arises due to or as a result of circumstances beyond Troedoor's control.

Article 7 Suspension, Termination of the Agreement and Interim Termination

  1. Troedoor is entitled to suspend the fulfillment of its obligations, or to dissolve the Agreement, if the Buyer does not, does not completely or does not timely fulfill the obligations under the Agreement. In this case, the Buyer is liable to compensate Troedoor for the resulting costs and damages, including property damage.
  2. Troedoor's claims against the buyer are immediately due and payable in the following cases:
    - if, after the conclusion of the Agreement, circumstances come to the knowledge of Troedoor that give Troedoor good reason to fear that the buyer will not fulfill his obligations;
    - if Troedoor has asked the buyer at the conclusion of the agreement to provide security for fulfillment for a specified period and this security is not provided by the deadline set or is insufficient.
  3. If the Buyer does not wish to take delivery of the goods for whatever reason, the security deposit (usually the down payment) expires only in the event that the goods do not meet the requirements agreed upon in writing between Troedoor and the Buyer. In this case, Troedoor offers to replace these goods once with others provided that these goods represent the same values as the goods previously purchased. In the latter case, the deadlines mentioned in Article 6 will then apply.
  4. If circumstances arise relating to persons and/or material that Troedoor uses or tends to use in the execution of the Agreement, which are of such a nature that the execution of the Agreement becomes impossible or so difficult and/or disproportionately expensive that compliance with the Agreement can no longer reasonably be required, Troedoor is authorized to dissolve the Agreement.
  5. If the dissolution is attributable to the Buyer, the Buyer must compensate Troedoor for the resulting (direct and indirect) damage.
  6. If Troedoor suspends or dissolves (a part of) the Agreement, Troedoor is in no way bound to compensate the Buyer for any damage resulting from this. However, the Buyer is obliged to compensate the damage if the Buyer proceeds to suspend or dissolve all or part of the agreement.
  7. In case of suspension of payment or bankruptcy at the Buyer's expense, Troedoor is free to terminate the contract without further obligation to pay compensation or the right to indemnification.
