General Terms and Conditions
Article 1.
Applicability
- These conditions apply to every offer and every
agreement or legal relationship between Tech Outlet OOD and a
(potential) buyer insofar as parties have not expressly and in writing
deviated from these conditions and excluding any general conditions of
the other party.
2. The present conditions also apply to all
agreements with Tech Outlet OOD in the execution of which third parties
must be involved.
3. Where these conditions refer to
written requirements, this also includes e-mail.
Article 2. Quotes, prices, Actions, advice and orders
All quotes are non-binding.
All prices are net cash in the currency mentioned on the quote,
without discount and excluding taxes due at the time of delivery.
If an order is placed without an express price agreement, it will be
executed at the price applicable at the time of order execution.
Seller is entitled at all times not to accept orders.
Seller will notify the buyer within 3 working days, counting from the
order date.
Issued price lists are indicative and at all times subject to changes.
Prices and delivery times are based on circumstances applicable at the
time of issue. If these circumstances change after concluding the
agreement, but before the end of its execution, seller is authorized to
pass on the costs resulting from that change to the buyer.
No rights can be derived from proposed advice and/or product choices
made by the seller. Agreements or orders that follow from this advice
are the responsibility of the buyer.
Buyer is aware that Tech Outlet OOD is considered by some manufacturers
as an unofficial distributor and that a consequence thereof may be that
the end user of the products may not be able to participate in (extra)
discount actions, promotions etc. or other arrangements of
manufacturers, as the condition may be attached that the products were
obtained through sales channels designated as official by the
manufacturer. Buyer irrevocably waives any claim against Tech Outlet
OOD, for whatever reason, in case buyer is approached in this regard by
its customer or the end user of the products.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the prices issued by Tech Outlet OOD
apply only to the products themselves and:
- in Euro
- excluding VAT
- excluding shipping or transport costs
- ex factory/company
- excluding levies on media carriers
- excluding legal levies and/or disposal contributions
Prices as stated on the website are subject to typographical errors or
price changes (not yet implemented).
If Tech Outlet OOD agrees on a certain price with the other party, Tech
Outlet OOD is nevertheless entitled to increase the price if Tech
Outlet OOD can demonstrate that significant price changes have occurred
between the moment of offer and delivery regarding raw materials,
currency and/or wages.
If the price increase exceeds 10%, the other party has the right to
terminate the agreement, without right to compensation against Tech
Outlet OOD.
Article 3. Delivery
- Seller is entitled at all times to deliver an order in
parts and to demand payment for each partial delivery.
- Seller has fulfilled its delivery obligation by offering
the goods to buyer once. The report of the person who arranged the

freight, storage and other necessary costs are for buyer's account.
Seller will first be obliged to offer the goods again, after the costs
mentioned in the previous sentence, the purchase price and the costs for

suspend a (subsequent) delivery, as long as the buyer has not approved
one or more previous deliveries or has failed to accept them and/or has
not fulfilled any obligation towards Tech Outlet OOD.
- If the other party continues to refuse acceptance for 14
days, Tech Outlet OOD is entitled to terminate the agreement, whereby
the other party – in deviation from article "Termination" paragraph 2 –
remains liable for 100% of the transaction value, increased with
interest and costs thereon and without prejudice to the right to
compensation for actual or higher damage.
Article 4.

part separately.
Article 5. Payments

payment term stated on the invoice. Payment must be made without any
suspension, discount or offset. Only those payments are valid that have
been made in the manner indicated by seller.
- If buyer does not pay the due invoice amount on time, they
are in default without further notice and owe seller interest of 1.25%
of the unpaid invoice amount for each month or part thereof by which the
payment term is exceeded.
- In the case referred to in the previous article paragraph,
seller is furthermore entitled to complete or partial termination of
the agreement and all other claims of seller on buyer, for whatever
reason, become immediately due. Seller is also entitled to demand from
buyer all costs caused by buyer's non-payment, both judicial and
extrajudicial costs. The extrajudicial costs are fixed at 15% of the
amount to be claimed, being the invoice amount increased with accrued
interest according to paragraph 2 of this article, with a minimum of
EURO 500.00.
- If seller has instituted its claim in legal proceedings
and is wholly or partially vindicated in this regard, buyer is obliged
to compensate seller for the actual costs involved in this procedure.
This includes the costs of lawyers, attorneys and fixed fees, as well as
the fees owed to arbitrators or binding advisors, even if these exceed
any procedural cost order under article 237 and further of the Code of
Civil Procedure.
- Seller is entitled at all times to transfer or pledge its
claims on buyer to third parties.
- If seller files for buyer's bankruptcy, the latter owes,
in addition to the due amount and the judicial and/or extrajudicial
costs of bankruptcy applications weighing on it.

business disruption, defects or damage to production means, strike or

Netherlands is directly involved or not, complete or partial
mobilization, state of siege, riot, sabotage, flooding, fire or other
destruction in factories or warehouses, strikes and lockouts.
- Without prejudice to seller's further rights, force
majeure gives them the authority to terminate the agreement for the part
not yet executed, without being obliged to pay any compensation.
- If seller has partially fulfilled their obligation, they
are entitled to a proportional part of the agreed price based on the
work already performed and costs incurred.
Article 7.

buyer.

all claims - from this or previous deliveries - of seller on buyer have
been fully settled by buyer. The goods can be reclaimed immediately by
seller if buyer has not fulfilled their obligations or seller has
reason to assume that buyer will not fulfill their obligations. The
costs associated with the reclaim will be charged to buyer. Upon
reclaim, credit will be given based on the value that the goods appear
to have upon reclaim.
Article 9. Brands and
packaging
Seller reserves the right to provide the packaging of the goods with
their own name and/or factory mark. Only within six months after
invoice date, carriage paid to warehouse, returned packaging that is in
good condition and that was charged, gives buyer the right to
compensation for the value calculated by seller.

disposal for one week, after which seller is free to dispose of it
without any obligation to pay compensation. Packaging not separately
