1. General
1.1 Nutrifarma NV, with registered office in Heist op den Berg, is registered in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO) under number BE0458087349.

2. Offers and price quotes – conclusion of the agreement
2.1 Offers and quotations are made with all reservations and without obligation on the part of Nutrifarma NV. Offers and quotations always only apply for the time stated in the quotation, in principle 14 days after it was drawn up. No rights can be derived from past offers or quotations for future orders.
2.2 Any order submitted to us directly or indirectly, including via our representatives or agents, is only accepted after we have confirmed it in writing by letter or email.
2.3 Any cancellation of an order by a customer must be made in writing or by email. The invoice for the goods already delivered must be paid, regardless of the cancellation. A credit note and refund will be issued by Nutrifarma NV if the goods already delivered are returned in their original new condition at the customers own expense, within 5 working days after delivery.
No returns will be accepted after 5 working days, except in the event of incorrect delivery by Nutrifarma.
3. Execution of the agreement
3.1 The delivery period is provided for indicative purposes only and is therefore not binding for Nutrifarma NV, unless expressly agreed otherwise between the parties.
However, a delay in delivery cannot give rise to a fine, compensation, termination of the agreement or refusal to accept the product.
3.2 Partial deliveries are permitted. Nutrifarma NV reserves the right to invoice these partial deliveries as the goods are delivered.
4. Price
4.1 The agreement is concluded in accordance with the prices stated on the quotation/order confirmation and the payment method provided therein, except in the event of mutually agreed deviations from the original quotation or order confirmation that were confirmed by Nutrifarma NV.
4.2 All prices are exclusive of VAT and delivery costs, unless explicitly stated otherwise. The VAT is borne by the buyer.
5. Payment
5.1 Any invoice addressed to the customer, the amount of which has not been settled or not fully settled on the due date, will be increased by operation of law by a fixed and non-reducible compensation equal to 10% of the amount due without notice of default being required, without prejudice to legal and enforcement costs. In addition, late payment interest is legally due in accordance with the statutory interest rate under the Act of 2 August 2002 on combating late payment in commercial transactions, without the need for prior notice of default, without prejudice to legal and implementation costs. Each month started is considered a full month. Partial payments will first be used to cover costs, interest and damages and then be deducted from the main balances.

6.1 If Nutrifarma NV cannot execute the order due to force majeure, including accidents, illness, epidemics, fire, war, strikes, lock-outs, uprisings, delays at suppliers, lack of transport material, etc., Nutrifarma NV has the right to terminate the agreement without any further compensation to the customer. In this case, the delivery period will be extended by operation of law.
7. Complaints and warranty
7.1 All complaints relating to the delivered products must be reported in writing within 14 calendar days to Nutrifarma NV. Invisible defects must be reported in writing immediately after discovery.

The receipt of a complaint by Nutrifarma NV cannot be regarded by the customer as a sign that Nutrifarma NV considers the complaint to be timely or justified.
7.2 Nutrifarma NV is only liable for damage that is the direct and a demonstrable consequence of a shortcoming attributable to them. Nutrifarma NV can under no circumstances be held liable for all other forms of damage such as business damage, damage due to delay, loss of use and profit. The liability of Nutrifarma NV is in any case limited to the amount of the invoice value excluding VAT for the order in question.
