Deviating terms and conditions only apply insofar as they have been expressly accepted in writing by ASK-Solutions and only apply to the relevant agreement(s).

If any definition of these terms and conditions is invalid for any reason, the remainder of these terms and conditions will remain in effect. The parties will negotiate the content of a new definition, which definition will approximate the content of the original definition as closely as possible.

ASK-Solutions reserves the right to change or supplement these general terms and conditions. Changes and additions will be communicated to the customer in writing. If the customer is in a less favourable position as a result of the change, he can cancel the agreement within 14 days after notification of the change, with effect from the date on which the new terms and conditions come into effect.

Article 2 – Quotations and Offers

All quotations and price lists of ASK-Solutions are without obligation unless a term for acceptance has been set in the quotation. Any desired special qualities must be explicitly stated with orders. A quotation or offer lapses if the product to which the quotation or offer relates is no longer available in the meantime.

Images, descriptions, measurements and weights which appear in quotations and price lists are not binding for ASK-Solutions.

All documents provided by ASK-Solutions, in particular drawings, plans and work descriptions, remain the property of ASK-Solutions and must be returned to ASK-Solutions on first request, while neither these documents nor the information contained therein shall be copied or made available to third parties without written permission from ASK-Solutions.

If the customer fails to do so, ASK-Solutions is not obliged to fulfil or further fulfil its obligations towards the customer under current agreements, without prejudice to ASK-Solutions' right to compensation.

Article 4 – Delivery

All deliveries are made subject to retention of title as further described in article 6.

The customer is obliged to cooperate with the delivery, as well as to accept the delivery. Purchase is deemed to have been refused if the ordered products have been offered for delivery, but delivery has proved impossible for whatever reason. In that case, the day on which acceptance is refused will count as the day of delivery.

If a refusal of purchase as described above occurs, the customer is legally in default, without a further notice of default being required by ASK-Solutions. In that case, ASK-Solutions can, at its own discretion, dissolve the agreement or demand compliance by the customer.

If the customer refuses to accept the delivery, ASK-Solutions reserves the right to pass on any associated costs (including the costs of storage and transport) to the customer.

The extrajudicial costs amount to 15% of the principal plus interest, with a minimum of €250.00 if increased with advances made and tax due.
