The purchase price shall be paid by transfer to a bank account to be specified by the supplier. c. Payments shall always be applied for the settlement of the oldest outstanding claims. d.

The buyer or the distributor who has not paid at the latest on the payment due day, shall without any warning or reminder being required be in default towards the supplier. f. Any delay in the payment shall create an obligation for the buyer or the distributor to pay default interest of at most 1.5% per month or part of a month, without prejudice to a fixed compensation of at most 15% of the invoice amounts that have not been paid in a timely manner or at all, in accordance with the commercial practices in the country of the buyers or the distributors. g.

Delivery The delivery periods stated by CorperIDeas shall only be indicative. Excess of any delivery deadline or any incorrect delivery shall not give you any entitlement to damages nor the right to cancel your order or to dissolve the agreement, unless the excess of the delivery period is such that it reasonably cannot be demanded from the buyer or the distributor that the buyer or the distributor leaves the agreement intact. he buyer or the distributor shall in that case have the right to cancel the order or to dissolve the agreement in so far as that is necessary. In so far as there is a (threatening) excess of a delivery deadline, CorperIDeas shall as much as reasonably possible exert its best efforts yet to deliver before expiry of the delivery period. The delivery of the products shall take place at the place and the time at which the products are ready for delivery or shipment to the buyer or the seller/distributor. Delivery and transfer of risk shall take place by handing over the goods to the professional carrier or, if the goods are picked up by the buyer or the distributor or are delivered by the supplier or the distributor, by taking receipt of the goods by the buyer or the distributor, or by delivery at the warehouse of the buyer or the distributor. The buyer or the distributor shall bear the costs of the transport. Any export and import costs shall also be for the charge of the buyer or the distributor. Where delivery depends on calls by the buyer or the distributor and he fails to make the call, the delivery date shall be the last day of the agreed call period or delivery period. After expiry of the (agreed) delivery period/date, an additional delivery period of 4 weeks shall automatically enter into force and effect.
Force Majeure Force majeure by which delivery of the goods is delayed or made impossible, shall release the supplier from the obligation to deliver in time and shall otherwise give no rise to any liability whatsoever. The term force majeure shall include any circumstance that is beyond the control of the supplier, including without limitation: war, riots, strikes, government measures, interruptions of operations of whatever nature at the supplier/manufacturer, interruptions in the normal delivery of raw and ancillary materials to the supplier, as well as stagnation in the transport of products with means of transport chosen by the supplier.
