<\/span><\/p>\n

ARTICLE 9. PAYMENTS, RETENTION OF TITLE <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

1. In the event of a sale or the carrying out of services, all payments by the other party must be done within the period mentioned in the invoice, without the right of set-off.\u00a0 In the event no full payment has taken place, then, by operation of law, the other party is in default towards GBZI without the fact that a notice of default is required and all claims, which GBZI has against the other party, are due on demand. This is also the case if the other party is put into involuntary liquidation or has applied for a moratorium on payments.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The other party is obliged to pay the statutory interest to GBZI as from the day the default commences until the day of the full payment. As soon as GBZI<\/g> has passed on the claim for extrajudicial collection, the other party is obliged to pay to GBZI a sum of 15% of the principal sum to be claimed, unless the actual extrajudicial collection charges reasonably incurred are higher, in which case the other party is obliged to pay back the said higher charges to GBZI. In the event of extrajudicial collection, the other party is obliged to fully pay the actual extrajudicial costs reasonably incurred, including the costs of legal assistance; in as far as the actual costs exceed the amount of the (possible) costs of the proceedings.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The other party is not entitled to alienate, to pledge or to encumber, in any manner whatsoever, the goods falling under the retention of title, unless alienation, pledge or otherwise encumbrance takes place within the scope of the normal course of business of the other party.\u00a0\u00a0 In case any encumbrance and\/or alienation of the goods falling under the retention of title takes\/take place anyway, then the other party shall transfer all rights and claims, which it obtains at the (re)sale of the said goods, to GBZI now for then, anyhow, the other party shall accomplish this transfer as soon as possible and if required.\u00a0 Without prejudice to the remaining rights belonging to it, GBZI shall, if the other party does not fulfil its obligations towards GBZI at all or in time without any notice of default or judicial intervention whatsoever, be irrevocably authorised by the other party to retain the goods delivered by it and for this purpose to enter the place where goods are stored.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

ARTICLE 10. CLAIM AND PRODUCT\u2019S SOUNDNESS <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Claims concerning non-external observable defects should be done in writing without delay, however within seven days after the delivery thereof at the latest, in the event of expiry of this period, each claim against GBZI with regard to the said defects shall be canceled. The other party shall sign for receipt and approval upon the receipt of the delivered goods.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

3. External observable defects should be clearly mentioned without delay on the transport document to be signed upon receipt.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Submitted claims concerning a certain delivery do not suspend the other party\u2019s obligation to pay with regard to the said and other delivery\/deliveries nor do they give the other party the right of settlement.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

5. With due observance of the limitations mentioned below GBZI guarantees the soundness of the goods delivered by it:\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

6. In the event the other party does not fulfill its obligation at all or in time towards GBZI in accordance with the agreement(s) entered into, then it is not allowed to submit claims.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

7. The obligation with regard to the soundness of the Product of GBZI is explicitly limited to either the repair of the defects or the replacement of the defective goods or the dissolution of the agreement, wholly or in part, without judicial intervention and pro rata credit entry, all this at the choice of GBZI<\/g>, under the conditions to be set by it. GBZI<\/g> has the right to reconsider the choice made by it earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

ARTICLE 11. LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The liability of GBZI<\/g> for the delivery of goods is limited to the fulfillment of its obligation as mentioned in the preceding Article. The liability of GBZI for damage directly resulting from the services carried out by GBZI<\/g> for the other party (other than the delivery of goods, including, but explicitly not limited to giving (technical) advice free of charge or against payment) is limited to those cases, in which GBZI<\/g> has failed imputably in the fulfilment of its obligations, unless a further limitation arises from Article 11 paragraph 2 of these general terms and conditions. Each further liability, other than the ones based on this paragraph of this Article, for damage directly suffered by the other party, as well as each liability for the damage indirectly suffered by the other party, is excluded.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

2. In the event GBZI notwithstanding or based on the provisions of Article 11 paragraph 1 \u2013 for any reason whatsoever \u2013 is obliged to pay any damage, then the compensation per event or a series of related events with a joint cause shall not be higher than the amount equal to the invoice value of the purchase, the sale and\/or the delivery of the goods or the carrying out of the service, for which damage has been caused.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

3. By the way, each claim against GBZI shall be canceled by the mere expiry of the term of one year after the arising of the claim, unless a legal action with regard to this has been instituted against GBZI<\/g> previously.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

4. The other party indemnifies GBZI, its staff members or persons deployed by or for it against all liabilities from third parties on the compensation of any damage suffered by the last-mentioned, caused by or otherwise related to goods from GBZI.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. All defences, which GBZI can derive from the agreement entered into with the other party in order to wave aside its liability, can be invoked against the other party by its staff members and third parties, which are involved by it in the performance of the agreement, as if its staff members and these third parties were parties to the agreement.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

6. Conditions with regard to the limitation of liability, exclusion, and definitions, which can be set up by third parties against GBZI, can also be set up by GBZI<\/g> against the other party.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

ARTICLE 12. FORCE MAJEURE <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In the event of force majeure on the part of GBZI<\/g>, then GBZI<\/g> is entitled to suspend the purchase, sale and\/or delivery of goods and services or to cancel the agreement, wholly or in part. In that case, the other party cannot institute an action for compensation against GBZI<\/g>.

GBZI<\/g> shall notify the other party on these facts and circumstances without delay stating whether, in how far and under which conditions it can continue the purchase, the delivery of services or the sale and\/or the delivery of goods.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

ARTICLE 13. DISSOLUTION <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In the event of default as referred to in Article 9, as well as with regard to an obligation under any agreement entered into with GBZI<\/g>:<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the other party does not fulfill this at all, in time or properly;<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the other party is put into involuntary liquidation;<\/span><\/p>\n

then GBZI is entitled to immediately dissolve each agreement with the other party without judicial intervention, without prejudice to the rights, which GBZI can derive from these conditions, agreement or the law against the other party, including the right on (full) compensation. In the event of dissolution of any agreement entered into with the seller by the other party, then the other party shall not be entitled to rely on the undoing of the performances already carried out from both parts and neither shall there be an obligation to compensate the value in the event the nature of the performance rules out that it will be undone.<\/span><\/p>\n
