General terms and conditions
1. Sale in current condition:
All vehicles are sold in their current condition, as known and accepted by the buyer, without any form of warranty. The buyer acknowledges that the vehicles are second-hand and may have defects. The buyer acknowledges that they are a professional buyer who has thoroughly inspected the vehicle prior to purchase and is aware of all necessary work and repairs. Any costs for modifications, repairs, and restorations are the responsibility of the buyer and may not be borne by the seller under any circumstances. If the buyer is held liable for any damage for any reason, their liability is limited to half of the purchase price.
2. Transport guarantee:
If the vehicle is transported by ship, an export guarantee from the maritime transport company will suffice. If the buyer collects the vehicle personally and arranges transport and export themselves, they will pay a guarantee equal to the VAT on the invoice. This amount will be refunded upon confirmation of export by customs.
3. Reservation and down payment:
Vehicles can only be reserved upon payment of a down payment. This down payment will be forfeited if the remaining amount is not paid within 14 days after the agreement, unless otherwise agreed. Down payments are non-refundable under any circumstances. If the payment of the remaining amount is delayed, the agreement will automatically and without prior notice be terminated to the detriment of the buyer. In that case, the down payment will be treated as compensation in favor of the seller, without prejudice to the seller's right to prove higher damages.
4. Leaving the premises:
Purchased goods must leave the seller’s premises as soon as possible. After two weeks from the invoice date, the seller has the right to charge parking fees of €45/day/vehicle. If the parking fees exceed the invoice amount of the sold vehicle, the vehicle will be offered for sale to third parties again. The proceeds will be used to cover the parking fees. Once again, the agreement will automatically and without prior notice be terminated to the detriment of the buyer.
5. Transfer of ownership:
The ownership of the delivered goods will only be transferred to the buyer once all obligations under the agreement have been fulfilled. Until that time, the goods may not be pledged or sold and remain the property of the seller. The risk is transferred to the buyer at the moment of signing the purchase agreement or payment of the down payment.
6. Payment terms:
Unless otherwise agreed, payment must be made at the seller’s registered office. In case of late payment, the seller is entitled to a flat-rate compensation of 10% of the invoice amount, plus interest from the invoice date, calculated at the interest rate in accordance with the Act on the combating of late payment in commercial transactions.
7. Applicable law and competent court:
The purchase agreement is governed by Belgian law. The application of the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded. Only the courts of the Limburg district are competent for all disputes. The invalidity of any clause cannot result in the total invalidity of the purchase agreement.
8. Communication and notifications:
For all communication and notifications related to or arising from this agreement, the buyer chooses domicile at the address stated on the order form or invoice.
