GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
Art. 1: Definitions "BB Light Solutions": a brand of Techno Specials for all lighting propositions. "Buyer": the person to whom Products are offered by Seller or with whom Seller has an Agreement. "Order": any order given by Buyer to Seller to deliver Products. "Agreement": the agreement between Seller and Buyer to deliver the Products. "Products" means the goods and/or services offered or supplied by Seller. "Seller": Techno Specials NV, established at Krimperslaan 1, 9140 Temse and registered in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number 0821.689.869. Buyer and Seller shall each be referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties." Art. 2: Applicability These general terms and conditions apply to all legal relationships in which the Seller acts as (potential) seller and/or supplier of Products, including all offers by the Seller in respect of Products, Orders and their acceptance by the Seller, except if and insofar as the Seller and the Buyer have agreed in writing to deviate from them. These terms and conditions shall prevail over any terms and conditions of the Buyer. Art. 3: Agreement All offers made by the Seller are without obligation. An Agreement is concluded only when the Seller itself accepts the Order(s) in writing or commences its execution. Acceptance of an Order by an agent or representative does not bind the Seller. The Seller is at all times entitled to refuse an Order or to attach certain conditions to the delivery of the Products. Art. 4: Prices All prices and amounts are exclusive of VAT and any other duties and taxes, unless expressly agreed otherwise. If changes occur in cost price factors, such as the cost of materials, government measures, taxes, import duties or other levies, as well as exchange rates, Seller has the right to increase the price accordingly. Art. 5: Delivery The risk regarding the Products shall pass to the Buyer at the moment of delivery of the Products. From that moment, the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against any third-party claims. The method of transport shall be determined by the Seller, and transport is always at the Buyer’s risk. For deliveries in Belgium, delivery costs depend on the Order amount as stated in the order confirmation. For deliveries outside Belgium, Buyer and Seller will agree individually on minimum Order amount and transport costs. All costs for special shipment (e.g. express) are borne by the Buyer. Delivery times are indicative only. Failure to meet delivery dates shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel the Agreement or refuse delivery. The Seller may make partial deliveries and invoice them separately unless the Buyer explicitly states otherwise in the Order. Cut lengths and production lengths will not be taken back. Partial processing of delivered Products implies acceptance. Certain cable types may require a minimum order quantity (“MOQ”). Buyer must provide timely delivery instructions; otherwise, storage and administrative costs may be charged, and the Products are at Buyer’s risk. Cash-on-delivery costs, if applicable, are borne by Buyer. Upon delivery, Buyer must inspect the Products for conformity and damage. Art. 7: Retention of title Until the Buyer has fully paid all obligations, including interest and costs, the delivered or to be delivered Products remain property of the Seller. Seller may recover such Products and is authorized to enter Buyer’s premises to do so. All costs and damages related to retrieval are at Buyer’s expense. During retention, Buyer may only dispose of Products in normal business operations and must insure them adequately. Buyer must notify Seller if third parties assert rights to the Products. Art. 8: Security If Buyer fails to fulfil obligations within 5 days after notice of default, Buyer must, upon Seller’s request, provide adequate security for full performance within 14 days. Otherwise, Seller may suspend delivery, and all Buyer’s debts become immediately due. Art. 9: Intellectual Property Buyer shall not infringe Seller’s intellectual property rights and may not use Seller’s trademarks, patents, trade names, or copyrighted works. Confidential information may not be disclosed except as required by law. Violation results in a EUR 5,000 fine per breach, without prejudice to other Seller rights. Art. 10: Guarantee / Complaints Non-visible defects must be reported in writing within 15 days after discovery. Invoice complaints must be submitted within 15 days from invoice date. After this, claims expire. No claims are valid if Buyer alters, misuses, or improperly stores the Products. Seller may choose to deliver the missing part, replace, or refund the Product. Buyer must follow Seller’s instructions regarding returns or storage. Art. 11: Return shipments Buyer may return Products only with Seller’s prior written consent. Unauthorized returns will not be credited or replaced. All returns are at Buyer’s expense and risk. Art. 12: Quantities Deliveries are subject to usual manufacturing deviations. Deviations of 10% or less are considered minor and not defects. Art. 13: Dissolution / Removal If Buyer fails to meet obligations or in case of bankruptcy, suspension of payment, liquidation, etc., Seller may dissolve or suspend the Agreement without compensation. If performance becomes impossible due to circumstances beyond Seller’s control, Seller may dissolve or suspend without liability. Art. 14: Force Majeure Force majeure includes causes beyond Seller’s control, such as war, strikes, embargoes, government orders, pandemics, supplier failures, production disruptions, or natural disasters. Seller is not liable for delays or failure caused by such events. Either Party may terminate the Agreement without charge in such cases. Art. 15: Liability Except for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, Seller is not liable for damages. In such cases, liability is limited to the Order amount. Seller is never liable for consequential damages such as lost profits, production loss, or business interruption. Buyer is responsible for correct application and use of the Products. Art. 16: Other provisions Deviations from or additions to the Agreement are only valid in writing. Invalidity of one clause does not invalidate the whole Agreement. Invalid provisions may be replaced by valid ones reflecting the intended meaning. Buyer may not assign the Agreement without Seller’s written consent. Seller may assign its rights to a third party. Art. 17: Applicable law and competent courts All relations between Seller and Buyer are governed by Belgian law. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) does not apply. All Contracts are deemed concluded at Seller’s business address. The Ghent Commercial Court (Ghent Division) has exclusive jurisdiction.
