B&G ENTRANCE CONTROL - CONDITIONS OF SALES AND DELIVERY

Art. 1

By placing the order the client distances himself from the conditions which he wishes to impose, to the extent that these are in conflict with the conditions in hand. Each variance from these conditions is only in effect if and after this has been confirmed in writing by B&G Entrance Control. Such a variance applies once only.

Art. 2

All our offers and quotations are without obligation. Orders placed as a result of these are only to be considered as accepted after these have been confirmed by us in writing. Each agreement is entered into by us with the purchaser and/or client under the contingent condition that the opposing party in our assessment is sufficiently creditworthy for the fulfilment of the financial commitments due to us arising from the agreement.

Art. 3

All quotations are excluding VAT unless explicitly stated otherwise by us.

Art. 4

1. The quotation from B&G Entrance Control is solely and only related to the explicitly and formally described activities and deliveries such as indicated on our order confirmation. All stated height and width measurements of fencing or fencing components are approximate sizes. All additional activities and deliveries, in any form whatsoever, remain at the expense of the purchaser and/or client. The execution of these additional activities and/or deliveries can only be demanded from B&G Entrance Control when a prior separate, written agreement between both parties has been entered into.
2. The deliveries always take place in accordance with the last construction modifications. It is not impossible that the purchaser and/or client whether or not by mistake is in possession of outdated construction descriptions. It is also possible with offers and order confirmations that customer codings are switched by mistake. The purchaser and/or client never have any right of appeal on this.
3. Information and advice supplied by B&G Entrance Control are only of a general nature and without obligation.
4. With the offer B&G Entrance Control accepts no responsibility for a design worked out by or on behalf of the purchaser, nor for any instructions as a result of the design. The purchaser is itself responsible for the functional suitability of the materials required by the purchaser. Under functional suitability is understood: the suitability of the material or the component for the purpose for which it is intended according to the design from the purchaser.

Art. 5

With regard to the execution of the activities it is explicitly determined:

1. That B&G Entrance Control cannot be held responsible, if subsidence of the surfacing or paving occurs after erection of fencing by B&G Entrance Control has taken place.
2. That excavated ground will not be removed by B&G Entrance Control.
3. That the condition of the ground must be of such a nature that the execution of the activities can take place entirely in accordance with the standards determined by B&G Entrance Control. If this is not the case, this all entirely at the discretion of an expert from the B&G Entrance Control, measures will have to be taken by and at the expense of purchaser and/or client to improve the stated situation.
4. If this entails an interruption of the B&G Entrance Control activities, the stagnation costs will be charged to the purchaser and/or client, at general rates applied by the B&G Entrance Control.
5. That all prices in offers or order confirmations from B&G Entrance Control are based on an assembly and/or obstacle free site. Considered as obstacles in the above are: foundations, old fencing, paving and/or surfacing, heavy clay or loamy ground, rubble, cables, pipes, sewerage systems, tree-stumps or roots, shrubs, ditches, too high groundwater level etc. The presence of obstacles can give cause to additional charges.
6. That obstacles, in any form whatsoever, knocked down by B&G Entrance Control for the execution of an (additional work) assignment are not replaced.
7. That damage, made to cables and/or pipes, in any form whatsoever, cannot be recouped from B&G Entrance Control, unless the position of these cables and/or pipes was communicated beforehand in writing to the B&G Entrance Control "assembly" department and also that the cables and/or pipes were indicated on the site with the help of markers.
8. That the purchaser and/or client can never appeal for that stated in art. 5a, b, c, d, e and f on the fact that the representative or inspector of B&G Entrance Control had seen the site or could have examined it prior to the quotation.
9. That B&G Entrance Control is not responsible for subsidence of the fencing if purchaser and/or client have not provided a solid ground situation on time (at the latest during the assembly of the ordered fencing) up to the level indicated by the purchaser and/or client in accordance with art. 6.
10. That, if assembly needs to take place at agreed delivery times on grounds with a too high groundwater level or in muddy grounds, B&G Entrance Control is not responsible for subsidence of the fencing.
11. That on the outside of the fencing to be erected there should be an (obstacle) free working area of a fencing height of at least 50 cm. On the inside there should be a free working area of at least 50 cm.
12. The purchaser ensures that all licences, exemptions and similar documents that are necessary to carry out the work are obtained in time. Additional costs, arising as a result of that determined under this article, need to be paid by the purchaser and/or client at rates as intended above.

Art. 6

Fencing and/or gates will be placed on the line and at the height which is indicated by means of markers by the purchaser and/or client prior to commencement of the assembly. If this has not taken place then the fencing and/or gates will be placed based on the available information at that moment. If this results in an incorrect placing, then a possible re-positioning will be carried out entirely at the expense of the purchaser and/or client at rates as referred to above. At the start of the work the site needs to be ready to be closed off. If this is not the case, then art. 5 applies by analogy.

Art. 7

The provided delivery and execution periods are approximate and are non-obligatory for B&G Entrance Control. When periods agreed between parties are exceeded the opposing party is entitled to claim compensation and/or annulment of the agreement, but not until the opposing party has granted B&G Entrance Control by registered letter a reasonable period of at least 21 days to allow B&G Entrance Control to fulfil its commitments. Correct situation drawings with the correct measurements need to be issued or sent immediately by purchaser and/or client upon granting the assignment. The agreed delivery time commences after receipt of this information. If during the assembly it appears that the supplied situation drawing is incorrect leading to additional or less work, the extra freight and other additional costs will be charged.

Art. 8

If gates are delivered including assembly, but excluding the foundation, then the foundation drawings, foundation anchors and possible rails will be supplied by B&G Entrance Control. This needs to be poured by the purchaser and/or client in the sizes to be indicated by the B&G Entrance Control, at the latest 3 days prior to the date of assembly provided by B&G Entrance Control.

Art. 9

As soon as B&G Entrance Control has delivered the materials necessary for the construction of fencing, gates etc. at the location of the work, these will be stored there at the expense and risk of the purchaser and/or client, such that they have no claim against B&G Entrance Control in respect of damage or loss. B&G Entrance Control always places the fencing materials at various positions in the line of the fencing to be installed. Storage on guarded sites or in locked sheds cannot be demanded from B&G Entrance Control. The fencing materials are always supplied between 1 and 10 days prior to commencement of the assembly.

If after the effectuation of a contract B&G Entrance Control is unable to fulfil this contract as a result of circumstances that were unknown to B&G Entrance Control at the moment the contract was entered into, then B&G Entrance Control has the right to demand that the contents of the agreement are changed such that execution remains possible.
2. Furthermore B&G Entrance Control has the right to suspend fulfilment of its commitments and it is not in default, if it is temporarily unable to fulfil its commitments, as a result of changes in the circumstances that at the time of entering into the agreement in all fairness were not expected and lie outside its influence.
