Invoice terms and conditions Share

1.    These are the general terms and conditions of DOBBELS MEAT BV, with registered office at 8770 Ingelmunster, Izegemstraat 64, BE 0415.711.514, hereinafter referred to as DOBBELS MEAT.
2.    These general terms and conditions aim to maintain, as far as possible, a balanced relationship between the contracting parties, taking into account their respective legal status.
In the event of any incompatibility between the parties regarding a clause, preference shall be given to the full or partial enforcement of the clause rather than declaring it null or invalid.
If any provision of these terms and conditions is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall nonetheless remain in full force.
3.    These general terms and conditions apply to all agreements/quotations issued by DOBBELS MEAT and its contracting parties.
Agreements are concluded upon acceptance of the quotation and the general terms and conditions, whether by digital or physical signature.
Acceptance “for approval” by email constitutes acceptance of both the quotation and the general terms and conditions.
Any conflicting general terms and conditions of the buyer are not accepted unless expressly and in writing agreed otherwise.
4.    If the buyer cancels the order, a compensation equal to 35% of the value of the cancelled goods shall be payable.
DOBBELS MEAT reserves the right to refuse any order without being required to state the reason. Such refusal can under no circumstances give rise to any compensation.
However, unjustified cancellation by DOBBELS MEAT equally entitles the buyer to compensation amounting to 35% of the value of the cancelled goods.
5.    If DOBBELS MEAT is responsible for the delivery as agreed, all goods are transported at the buyer’s risk at all times.
Any additional work required due to difficulties during execution shall give rise to supplementary invoicing.
6.    Unless otherwise agreed, the delivery period is indicative only and not binding.
The invoice date shall be deemed the delivery date unless the buyer provides written evidence to the contrary.
All cases of force majeure (such as strikes or accidents) automatically suspend DOBBELS MEAT’s delivery obligations. They entitle DOBBELS MEAT to terminate the agreement in whole or in part without notice or compensation.
Delivered goods remain the property of DOBBELS MEAT until full payment has been made.
7.    All invoices are payable in cash at Ingelmunster.
In the event of non-payment on the due date, statutory late payment interest shall accrue automatically and without prior notice, in accordance with the Law of 02/08/2022 on combating late payment in commercial transactions.
Following formal notice, a contractual penalty of 10% shall also be due, with a minimum of €250 and a maximum of €2,500.
Failure to pay invoices on the due date shall make all outstanding claims of DOBBELS MEAT immediately payable and entitle it to suspend ongoing contracts or consider them terminated by operation of law.
Accepted bills of exchange do not imply a waiver of these conditions, nor do they constitute novation of debt.
All discount costs are borne by the buyer.
8.    Any complaints must be submitted by registered letter within 8 days of receipt of the goods, failing which the complaint will be inadmissible.
DOBBELS MEAT is always entitled to replace rejected or defective goods, without entitlement to compensation unless a credit note is agreed.
9.    If the buyer fails to fulfil their contractual obligations under any agreement, or if there are serious indications that the buyer may be unable or will have difficulty fulfilling their obligations (such as signs of insolvency, imminent bankruptcy, or judicial reorganisation), DOBBELS MEAT may suspend or terminate its obligations without such termination giving rise to any compensation.
10.    All contracts are governed by Belgian law, and any disputes fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bruges (Belgium).
However, DOBBELS MEAT may also bring the dispute before any other court competent under the law, including the court of the buyer’s place of business.
In the event of discrepancies regarding the interpretation of texts or contractual terms, the Dutch version shall always prevail.
