International Customers
If Goods are ordered from outside the Netherlands, import duties and taxes may apply. PartnerPLC BV will endeavor to clarify these on the quotation. The Customer is responsible for import compliance and should consult local customs authorities for further details. Please note, Goods may be inspected at customs, and the Supplier cannot guarantee tamper-free packaging upon arrival.
Basis of Sale and Service
Only written representations from the Supplier are binding. Variations to these Terms require written agreement from both Parties. All Supplier documents are subject to change without notice and do not constitute binding offers unless confirmed by the Supplier through:
- written acceptance,
- delivery of Goods,
- provision of Services, or
- issuance of an invoice.
Goods
Orders are accepted only upon written confirmation by the Supplier. Specifications are as outlined in Supplier’s documents unless modified in the Customer’s order and accepted by the Supplier. Visual materials serve as general guidance and are non-binding. Any specification changes required to meet regulatory standards or other applicable requirements are reserved.
Services
Upon the Commencement Date and payment, the Supplier will deliver the Services specified in the quotation with due care and skill, striving to fulfill all contractual obligations.
Price
Prices are those stated in the quotation valid as of order acceptance, unless a different price is agreed in writing. Prices are exclusive of value-added tax and other applicable taxes, which will be additionally charged to the Customer.
Payment
Unless otherwise specified, payment is due upon invoice issuance. Credit terms, if applicable, are subject to creditworthiness. The Supplier may withdraw credit terms if Customer fails to maintain satisfactory payment history.
Delivery and Performance
Goods are delivered to the location specified in the quotation, or, if none is specified, are available for pickup from the Supplier’s premises. Delivery dates are approximate, and Goods may arrive earlier. If the Customer fails to accept delivery, the Supplier may store the Goods at the Customer’s expense.
Non-Delivery of Goods and Services
The Supplier shall not be liable for late delivery unless such delay arises from Supplier’s actions beyond reasonable control. In such cases, the Supplier has no liability for any resulting losses.
Risk and Retention of Title
Risk transfers to the Customer upon Goods leaving the Supplier’s premises or upon notification of readiness for collection. Ownership remains with the Supplier until payment is received in full. Goods held unpaid by the Customer are considered the Supplier's property, and storage must reflect this status.
Assignment
The Supplier may assign the Contract without Customer consent. The Customer requires written consent from the Supplier to assign any part of the Contract.
Defective Goods
Defective Goods must be reported within seven Business Days of delivery. The Supplier, at its discretion, may repair, replace, or refund the defective Goods but shall bear no further liability.
Customer’s Default
If the Customer fails to meet payment obligations, the Supplier may:
- cancel orders,
- suspend future deliveries, or
- charge interest on overdue amounts. Events impacting the Customer’s business solvency entitle the Supplier to immediate cancellation or demand for due payments.
Liability
The Supplier is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including lost profit. Liability shall not exceed the Contract Price and excludes statutory warranties, where permissible under Dutch law. This does not restrict liability for death or personal injury due to negligence.
Confidentiality
Both Parties agree to keep Confidential Information secure and not disclose it to third parties unless required by law. This clause remains effective beyond Contract termination.
Force Majeure
Neither Party is liable for delays or non-performance due to causes beyond their reasonable control, such as natural disasters, strikes, or governmental action.
Severance
If any provision is deemed unlawful or invalid, it shall be severed, and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in effect.
Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by Dutch law. All disputes arising from the Contract shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of The Netherlands.
