These are the general conditions (hereinafter: “General Terms & Conditions") of Management Solutions BV, having its registered office at Mechelsesteenweg 143/2 1970 Wezembeek-Oppem and registered in the Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen [equivalent to Companies House] under number BE0843.824.081. (hereinafter referred to as: “Management Solutions BV”).
Article 1 - Scope
These General Terms & Conditions apply to every offer, every quotation and every agreement reached with regard to products and/or services offered by us.
These General Terms & Conditions apply to the exclusion of the Customer's general terms & conditions.
Article 2 - Quotations
Our quotations are purely indicative and without obligation and expire if they are not accepted by the Customer within 30 calendar days. Quotations only become legally valid in the capacity of an agreement once the quotation has been signed by the Customer and by us. We also reserve the right to refuse certain orders without giving any reason.
Article 3 - Price and payment
The price for our goods/services is mentioned on the quotation.
All our invoices are payable within 14 days of receipt, unless the quotation specifies a different due date. If we ask for an advance payment, we will only start our activities once we have received the advance payment.
For every delay in payment, the Customer will owe default interest of 1% per commenced month from the due date of the invoice and without prior notice of default, with each month that has been commenced being deemed to be a full month, whereby the foregoing is without prejudice to any compensation or costs. Likewise, a lump sum fee of 10% of the invoice amount with a minimum of 250 euros as compensation is payable by operation of the law and without prior notice of default; moreover, in addition to the principal sum, interest on arrears as well as the costs of collection, notices of demand and prosecution, as well as expenses due to loss of time and legal or legal costs, are also payable. This damage clause does not detract from the obligation to pay the stipulated amount of interest on arrears.
We must be notified of disputes by registered letter within five working days of the invoice, otherwise they will be declared inadmissible.
Article 4 - Duration of the agreement and cancellation
Our agreements can be entered into as described in our quotations. The agreement can at all times be cancelled unilaterally and without judicial intervention by us if the Customer is in bankruptcy or composition proceedings, or if the customer has not paid its invoices.
