These Terms & Conditions of Sale govern relations between the Parties. They prevail over any stipulation that might feature in the Purchaser’s Terms & Conditions of Purchase or in any other document the latter might use.

Orders below this amount will be accepted in return for an additional flat-rate administrative processing fee of €10 ex. VAT, which will be added to the invoice.

Beyond that timeframe, the Seller may choose to either invoice the outstanding quantities, by keeping them available to the Purchaser, or cancel the agreement for the quantities in question without providing notice thereof.
