Article 4 Risk transfer

4.1. The risk attached to the goods purchased will pass to the buyer at the time of delivery.

Article 5 Reservation of title

5.1. All goods delivered by us remain, even if they are processed, our property until full payment of all our debt claims, including interests and costs, as well as any balance in our favour deriving from earlier transactions.

5.3. The buyer shall keep the goods delivered subject to a reservation of title with due care and as the recognisable property of Faber&VanderEnde BV and shall insure these goods against damage and theft.

5.4. In the event of processing of the reserved goods, the buyer acts for Faber&VanderEnde BV The latter’s reservation of title thus extends to the goods created as a result of the processing.

5.5. The buyer can nevertheless dispose of the goods under reservation of adequate guarantee. In the event of delivery of goods, the buyer undertakes to keep the counter-value of the goods we delivered "in cash" throughout the title reservation period.

Article 8 Warranty

8.1. Faber&VanderEnde BV warrants that the goods sold to the buyer shall at the moment of delivery comply with the specifications as provided by Faber&VanderEnde BV to the buyer for such goods. This warranty will lapse if the buyer fails to fulfil its obligations under the agreement and/or these terms and conditions. Invoking the warranty will not release the buyer from its obligations under the agreement. In case of a breach of the warranty, the buyer's only remedy is a claim for performance of the agreement by Faber&VanderEnde BV

 

Article 9 Guarantee

9.1. The guarantee for latent defects of the goods is limited to replacement. The compensation of the proven loss suffered by the buyer may under no circumstances exceed the amount of our sale price of the goods used.

9.2. The guarantee for the goods is limited to that provided by the supplier. No other compensation or reimbursement of costs may be claimed from Faber&VanderEnde BV

9.3. Faber&VanderEnde BV will not be liable for any damage sustained by the buyer. The guarantee lapses ipso jure if the buyer himself performs transformations, or has such performed by third parties, without our written approval. The same applies if it is determined that the control and processing of the goods is not performed in accordance with the prescriptions of the supplier and/or Faber&VanderEnde BV or if the goods are not used in accordance with the directions for use or the instructions given.

9.4. If chemical and technical advice as well as plans and diagrams are provided, whether in writing or orally, Faber&VanderEnde BV assumes only a best-efforts obligation, without guaranteeing any result. Such advice is thus to be regarded merely as guidelines for which no liability can be accepted by Faber&VanderEnde BV. The buyer must test the goods himself.

9.5. Faber&VanderEnde BV does not guarantee the completeness and accuracy of the information received from its own supplier and given to the buyer and will not be liable for any damage – of whatever nature and in whatever form – incurred as a result of the incompleteness or inaccuracy of this information.

9.6. If the buyer resells without processing, he acts at his own risk and without guarantee of continuity. Third-party claims for whatever reason in connection with compensation for any damage in connection with the goods delivered by Faber&VanderEnde BV must be compensated by the buyer.

 

Article 10 Storage

10.1. Faber&VanderEnde BV is not liable for harm caused to goods that are stored on behalf of the buyer as of the moment that they were made available to the buyer.

10.2. If the goods, after being made available, continue to be stored in our warehouse for more than one month, Faber&VanderEnde BV shall be entitled to store the goods at the buyer’s expense and risk.
