General
By signing an agreement, the customer explicitly accepts the following terms and conditions. Teamservices bv reserves the right, however, to add additional terms and conditions on a per individual agreement basis.
The parties expressly agree that Teamservices bv is not obligated to fulfill any commitment or may suspend its commitments if the customer fails to fulfill its obligations or if changes are made to the order during execution.
Acceptance/ Recourse
The parties accept that complaints can only be considered if they are submitted by registered mail within 7 days of the invoice being sent and provided that they are described in the utmost detail and precision. Submitting a complaint does not exempt the customer from their payment obligations. If the customer fails to pay without a registered notice of their objections, Teamservices bv is entitled to suspend the work without prejudice to its right to claim late interest and compensation.
Prices
All prices are exclusive of VAT.
Prices will be invoiced according to the rate applicable for the services on the date of the agreement signed by the customer. Teamservices bv always has the right to adjust the prices stated in its agreement if circumstances beyond its control increase the cost of the services, such as an increase in prices by suppliers, rising wages, social charges, etc.
All possible taxes, duties, expenses, and charges, for whatever reason, shall always be borne by the customer.
Payment
Unless otherwise specified, all invoices are payable in cash at the registered office of Teamservices bv, at the latest upon delivery. Payment terms are only allowed after explicit and written agreement by Teamservices bv. In this case, the agreed-upon advance payments are due on the established due dates.
In the case of payment by check or any other commercial paper, payment is only considered realized upon actual collection.
Acceptance of bills of exchange, checks, promissory notes, mandates, installment payments, or debt waiver does not result in a renewal of the debt, and these terms and conditions remain fully applicable.
Without prejudice to the application of Article 7, in case of non-payment of an invoice on the due date, the invoice amount will be increased without prior notice by a conventional late payment interest rate of 10% per annum until the date of actual payment. Furthermore, the amount due will be automatically increased, without any formal notice, by a fixed compensation of 15% of the invoice amount, with a minimum of 75 EUR, regardless of any court and/or collection costs, including the totality of lawyer’s costs and fees.
Non-payment, even in part, automatically triggers the maturity of the unpaid invoices without any formalities or reminders.
Teamservices bv reserves ownership of all Products delivered by it until full payment of the price of all Products and Services delivered or yet to be delivered by Teamservices bv to the customer, as well as any claims for work that Teamservices bv has performed or will perform in the context of the delivery of Products and Services from Teamservices bv, as well as any claims that Teamservices bv may have against the Client due to a breach of the Agreement.
Force Majeure
Fortuitous events and/or force majeure give Teamservices bv the right to totally or partially terminate the agreement or order or to postpone its execution without any notice period or compensation.
In such a case, Teamservices bv can furthermore in no way be held liable for the non-fulfillment of its obligations, nor for any damage that the customer may incur as a result.
Termination and Dissolution
Without prejudice to the right to compensation, Teamservices bv is entitled to terminate the agreement, even if it has been partially executed, at any time by means of a registered letter by operation of law and without prior notice, or to demand additional guarantees in case of bankruptcy, liquidation, or a significant deterioration of the creditworthiness of the customer or in case the customer fails to fulfill its obligations as stated in Article 4.
Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
Only Belgian law applies to these terms and the legal consequences arising from them.
All disputes that may arise from these terms are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the judicial district of Antwerp.
General
The invalidity of any provision of these terms shall not affect the validity of the other provisions and shall not result in the invalidity of these provisions.
The purchase order and these terms represent the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter covered in the purchase order and replace and invalidate all previous oral and/or written agreements in this regard.
The customer acknowledges that they have read these terms and declares to accept all provisions, conditions, and prices.
The customer undertakes to promptly notify Teamservices bv of any change of address by registered mail.
These terms can only be amended by a written agreement duly signed by Teamservices bv and the customer.
