Article 2 Applicability

  1. These general terms and conditions apply to all legal relationships between SENTEC and a Customer.
  2. The applicability of the general terms and conditions of the Customer is expressly rejected.
  3. If any provision of these general terms and conditions might have no binding effect or might become non-binding, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.

  1. All offers from SENTEC are without obligation, even if the offer contains a period for acceptance and acceptance takes place within this period, unless expressly stated otherwise.

  4. The images, drawings, dimensional specifications and weight specifications provided by SENTEC are not binding for SENTEC and only intended to give a general presentation of that which SENTEC offers.
  5. Unless stated otherwise, the prices of SENTEC

are based on: the amount of the purchase prices, wages, labour costs, social security and government charges, freights, import and export duties, exchange rates, insurance premiums and further factors determining prices applicable during the offer or on the order date. In the event of an increase of one or more of the cost factors prior to the delivery, SENTEC will be entitled to increase the order amount accordingly. All this will be with due regard to any existing statutory regulations related thereto.

Article 4 Delivery and transport

  1. The delivery takes place ex works from SENTEC at Flinsbergerstraße 37308 Heilbad Heiligenstadt, Germany, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

From that time the risk of loss, damage or decrease in value transfers to the Customer.
  2. SENTEC will be entitled to deliver in parts

(partial deliveries), which partial deliveries can be invoiced separately. In that case the Customer will be obliged to pay in accordance with the provisions of article 6 of these terms and conditions.

  1. The Customer will be obliged to take delivery of the goods at the time at which these are offered to the Customer. If the Customer refuses or fails to provide the information or instructions, which are necessary for the delivery, SENTEC will be entitled to invoice for the goods concerned while storing the goods at the expense and risk of the Customer in that case.
  2. The stated delivery periods will never be regarded as final deadlines, unless agreed otherwise in writing. In the event of late delivery, or exceeding of the delivery period, SENTEC must be given notice of default in writing.
  3. If SENTEC requires data from the Customer for the performance of the agreement, the delivery period will not commence any earlier than at the time at which the Customer has made the data correctly and completely available to SENTEC.

If during the performance of the agreement it appears that it is necessary for the proper performance thereof to amend or add to the agreement, parties will in a timely manner and in mutual consultation proceed with adjustment of the agreement in that case. If the nature, extent or contents of the agreement, whether or not upon the request or on the instructions from the Customer, is/are amended and the agreement is amended through this from a qualitative and/or quantitative point of view, this can also have consequences for that which was originally agreed. The originally agreed amount can be increased or reduced through this. SENTEC will, as much as possible, provide a quotation thereof in advance. Furthermore, an amendment of the agreement can alter the originally stated performance period. The Customer accepts the possibility of amendment of the agreement, including the amendment of the price and performance period.

Article 5 Derogations in delivered goods

  1. The derogations usual and/or reasonable in the sector will not give the Customer any right to replacement, compensation of damage, or any other right.

  2. The Customer must pay the invoice amounts to SENTEC no later than within 30 calendar days after the invoice date, unless expressly agreed otherwise between SENTEC and the Customer.

In the event of late or incomplete payment, the Customer will owe interest to SENTEC of 2% per month or part of a month, whereby part of a month will apply as a full month, calculated over the (remaining) invoice amount from the due date up to and including the day of payment in full.
  3. Objections against the amount of the invoice will not suspend the payment obligation.

  4. All costs related to the collection, including the judicial and extrajudicial costs, will at the expense of the Customer. The extrajudicial costs are set out at an amount of at least 15% of the amounts due in the principal sum, with a minimum of € 375.
  5. Each payment made by the Customer will firstly serve to settle the interest owed and thereupon to settle the costs related to the collection, with the exception of the judicial costs. Only after payment of these amounts will any payment made by the Customer be applied to deduct from the outstanding claims in the principal sum. SENTEC retains the right to refuse to deliver in the event of any doubt regarding the creditworthiness of the Customer, or on the basis of other commercial reasons. SENTEC will always be entitled, also during the performance of the agreement, to suspend the fulfilment of its obligations until the Customer, upon request from SENTEC, has provided security for the fulfilment of the payment obligation of the Customer. In addition, SENTEC will be entitled to also require security from the Customer for future deliveries.

Article 7 Retention of title

  1. The ownership right of the purchase will only transfer to the Customer after the Customer has fulfilled all obligations vis-à-vis SENTEC to pay the purchase price of the delivered or still to be delivered goods, or the services provided or still to be provided and the interest, costs and compensation related thereto.
  2. However, the Customer will be entitled to dispose of the goods in the course of the Customer’s usual business operations.

  4. The Customer will be obliged to insure and keep insured the goods delivered subject to retention of title, against fire, explosion damage and water damage as well as against theft and to give SENTEC access to the policy of this insurance upon first request. In the event of any payment from the insurance, SENTEC will be entitled to this money. Insofar as necessary, the Customer undertakes in advance to provide cooperation to everything that might appear to be necessary or recommendable in that context.
  5. The Customer gives SENTEC irrevocable and unconditional permission to enter the locations where the property of SENTEC is situated and to collect these goods after SENTEC has invoked its retention of title.

  6. In addition to the retention of title referred to in article 7 subsection 1, the Customer undertakes, upon first request from SENTEC to that effect, to reserve and, insofar as necessary, establish a non-possessory pledge on the goods delivered by SENTEC subject to retention of title, as security for all existing and future claims of SENTEC on any basis whatsoever.

  7. A complaint will not suspend the payment obligation of the Customer.

Article 9 Engagement of third parties

  1. SENTEC will be entitled to engage third parties related to the performance of the agreement. If SENTEC engages a third party during the performance of the agreement, SENTEC will not be liable for any errors made by these third parties. If such a third party wishes to limit his or her liability, SENTEC will be entitled to also accept this limitation of liability on behalf of the Customer.

Article 10 Liability

  1. Neither SENTEC, nor its directors or its employees will be liable for damage related to goods and services delivered or to be delivered by it, regardless of the basis of the liability with due regard to the following. This will only be otherwise if the Customer demonstrates that the damage is caused by intention or wilful recklessness on the part of SENTEC or its managerial staff.
  2. Any liability of SENTEC for injury/damage to persons or goods will be limited to the amount paid in the case concerned under the general business liability insurance taken out by SENTEC, plus the amount of the deductible which is not borne by the insurer under the policy conditions concerned.
  3. If, for any reason whatsoever, the business liability insurance does not pay, the liability of SENTEC will be limited to the invoice amount of the goods that have caused the damage.
  4. Liability for indirect damage or loss, including consequential loss, loss due to delay and lost profits, is expressly excluded.
  5. Any legal action for compensation of damage will be precluded by lapse of time after a period of one year and will be extinguished no later than three years after the day on which the Customer became aware of the damage and the natural person or legal entity liable for this.
  6. The Customer indemnifies SENTEC against possible claims by third parties who, related to the performance of the agreement, suffer damage and the cause of which is attributable to a party other than SENTEC.
  7. Notifications by or on behalf of SENTEC concerning the quality, composition, treatment in the broadest sense, possibilities of application and features, etc. of the goods will only be regarded as guarantees if they are made in writing and expressly in the form of a guarantee.
  8. The Customer will be obliged to strictly follow the instructions concerning the manner of storage and treatment of the delivered goods. Any liability of SENTEC will lapse if the Customer does not fulfil this obligation or if the Customer does not submit a complaint in a timely manner in conformity with the provisions of article 8.
  9. For the application or processing of goods the relevant manufacturer’s instructions must be followed. The Customer will be obliged to take measures in order to limit the damage arisen as much as possible. The liability of SENTEC will lapse if the Customer does not fulfil the aforesaid obligations.

Article 11 Termination and suspension

  1. All claims of SENTEC will be immediately due and payable in full if one or more of the following situations occur:
    1. in the event that the Customer does not, does not in a timely manner, or does not completely fulfil the Customer’s obligations;
    2. in the event that SENTEC has good grounds to fear that the Customer will not fulfil the Customer’s obligations;
    3. in the event of the Customer’s liquidation or (application for) moratorium, or if the Customer, due to any cause whatsoever, loses or is likely to lose the power of disposal of the Customer’s assets or a part thereof.
    4. in the event that, due to delay on the part of the Customer, it can no longer be required of SENTEC that it will perform the agreement subject to the originally agreed terms and conditions.
  2. In the cases listed in subclause 1 SENTEC will have the right to terminate or suspend the agreement with immediate effect, without prejudice to SENTEC’s right to compensation and without being liable for any payment (of compensation).

Article 12 Force majeure

  1. SENTEC will not be obliged to the fulfilment of any obligation if it is prevented from this as a result of a circumstance not attributable to its fault, and which it is not accountable for by law, a legal act, or according to generally accepted standards. In addition to the provisions of Section 75 Book 6 of the Civil Code (force majeure), a failure on the part of SENTEC in the fulfilment of any obligation vis-à-vis the Customer cannot be attributed to SENTEC in the event of any circumstance beyond the control of SENTEC as a result of which the fulfilment of obligations vis-à-vis the Customer is wholly or partly prevented or as a result of which SENTEC cannot reasonably be required to fulfil its obligations. There will be force majeure in the event of failure by suppliers or other business contacts of SENTEC, strike actions or interruption of work, (unforeseen) government measures, terrorist attacks or a specific threat thereof, war, fire, environmental disasters, power failures, computer viruses, the temporary unavailability or inadequate availability of hardware, software and/or internet connection or other telecommunication connections, which are necessary for the performance of the agreement, as well as any other situation on which SENTEC cannot exert decisive influence.
  2. If due to force majeure SENTEC is unable to fulfil, or unable to fulfil in a timely manner, its obligations on the basis of the agreement, these obligations will be suspended for as long as SENTEC cannot fulfil its obligations. If the situation referred to in the previous sentence has lasted for 30 calendar days, both parties will have the right to wholly or partly terminate the agreement in writing. In that case SENTEC will not be obliged to compensation of any damage, even if SENTEC enjoys any advantage as a result of the force majeure situation.
  3. If, at the occurrence of the force majeure, SENTEC has already partially fulfilled its obligations, or can only fulfil its obligations partially, it will be entitled to invoice for the already delivered or deliverable part separately, and the Customer will be obliged to pay this invoice as if it concerned a separate agreement. However, this does not apply if the delivery already made does not have an independent value.

Article 13 Personal data

  1. SENTEC processes personal data, as described in its privacy statement, which can be found at www.sentecinternational.com/privacy-statement/ or www.tackmount.com/privacy-policy/

Article 14 Applicable law and disputes

  1. The law of the Netherlands applies to all disputes ensuing from a legal relationship, which these general terms and conditions apply to. All disputes that might arise between SENTEC and its customers, for which no solution can be reached in mutual consultation, will be exclusively submitted to the Midden-Nederland court, location Lelystad.

Article 15 Location and amendment of the general terms and conditions

  1. These terms and conditions can also be provided in the English language. In the event of a dispute regarding the contents or meaning and effect, the Dutch text will always be the determining factor for the interpretation thereof.
