These general terms and conditions of sale (hereinafter referred to as «GTCS») govern all commercial relations between JORION PHILIP-SEEDS S.A. (hereinafter referred to as «JPS», «we» or «our company») and its customers (hereinafter referred to as «the customer»).
JORION PHILIP-SEEDS S.A. Legal form: Limited company Registered office: Chaussée de Leuze 1, 7911 Hacquegnies, Belgium VAT: BE 0405 611 735 Telephone: +32 (0)69 87 19 00 Email: info@jps.be Website: www.jorion-philip-seeds.be
All agreements entered into with our company are governed by these general terms and conditions.
The mere fact of placing an order, even verbally or by telephone, implies acceptance, even if the customer includes his own conditions on one of the contractual documents.
The contract is only validly formed in one of the following cases:
Any addition, deletion or modification to the offer or order suspends the formation of the contract until its express acceptance by the other party.
Our offers are valid for one month from the date of dispatch, unless otherwise stated.
Prices are net and exclude VAT.
The customer shall bear the difference arising from variations in exchange rates. Goods travel at the customer's risk and expense.
We undertake no obligation with regard to delivery times. Delivery times are given as an indication only.
If the Customer fails to fulfil its obligations, we may immediately and automatically :
In the event of the customer's credit being undermined or of late payment, we reserve the right to demand, even after performance of the contract has begun, any guarantees that we deem appropriate. If the customer fails to do so, we may suspend performance of our own obligations or terminate the contract, without being liable for compensation.
Any cancellation or termination of a contract, whether by agreement or by court order, shall give rise to the payment by the customer of a fixed indemnity of 35 % of the price excluding VAT.
If the loss suffered is higher, it is up to our company to prove it. This lump-sum compensation is without prejudice to our right to claim full compensation for our loss, including our costs and loss of profit.
Our company assumes only an obligation of means towards its customers. We undertake to provide the services that are reasonably necessary, taking into account our means and possibilities.
We do not in any way guarantee the performance of our products, as this may be influenced by external factors such as soil and climatic conditions.
Any shortage or apparent defect in the goods must be recorded in writing on delivery.
Any complaint regarding the quality of the goods must be made by registered letter within thirty calendar days of receipt.
In this case :
Goods remain our property until invoices have been paid in full. The customer may not dispose of them until the price has been paid in full.
The transfer of risk takes place as soon as the contract is concluded.
Any multiplication of seeds or varieties supplied by our company is forbidden without prior written authorisation.
Unless otherwise agreed, all our invoices are payable in cash at our registered office.
Failure to pay in full by the due date :
If a single invoice is not paid by the due date, all sums due, even if not yet due, become immediately payable, without prior notice.
The acceptance of bills of exchange or payment instruments does not entail any novation. In the event of payment terms being granted or bills of exchange being accepted, failure to pay or late payment of a single instalment shall automatically render the entire balance due immediately payable.
Any dispute shall be submitted to the courts of the judicial district of our company's registered office.
Unless international treaties are preferred, the performance and interpretation of contracts with our customers are subject to Belgian law.
