1. Applicability
1.1 These provisions apply to all quotations, agreements, execution of orders and deliveries of Livolo Nederland B.V. of which company the trade names are Livolo Nederland B.V. , hereinafter referred to as Supplier.
1.2 Additional or deviating terms or conditions are only effective if the Supplier has accepted them in writing: these deviations only apply to the agreement under which they were made.
1.3 If offer and acceptance refer to different general terms and conditions, only the general terms and conditions of the Supplier apply, being the terms and conditions of the offering party. The applicability of the customer's terms and conditions is expressly rejected.
1.4 All quotations are without obligation, unless they contain a term for acceptance. If a quotation contains an offer without obligation and it is accepted, the Supplier has the right to revoke the offer within 2 working days after receipt of the acceptance.
1.5 Images and descriptions in offers, prospectuses, catalogues, size and weight specifications and promotional material as well as other information provided by the Supplier do not bind it.
1.6 Assignments, orders and changes thereto are only binding for the Supplier if they have been accepted or confirmed by the Supplier in writing. The Supplier has the right to refuse an order without giving reasons and is not liable for damage that arises and/or will arise directly or indirectly from this refusal.
1.7 The scope of the Supplier's obligations is determined exclusively by the order confirmation, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.


2. Prices
2.1 All quotations and prices charged are ex warehouse, including sales tax (VAT) in Euros (€), unless expressly stated otherwise. The prices are based on the cost factors applicable at the time of concluding the agreement, such as materials, wages, import and export duties, levies, taxes, freight, insurance, etc.
2.2 If the cost prices or prices for which the Supplier obtains the goods and/or services from third parties change between the time the agreement is concluded and the time of delivery, the Supplier has the right to change the agreed price accordingly.


3. Delivery
3.1 Delivery times stated are indicative and are determined to the best of our ability. The Supplier makes every effort to meet these deadlines, but they are never binding. Exceeding a delivery period does not entitle the customer to compensation, termination of the agreement or suspension of any obligation.
3.2 If payment in installments has been agreed, delivery will only take place after the first agreed payment term has been paid by the customer.
3.3 The Supplier is entitled to deliver the order in parts, unless expressly agreed otherwise. In that case, a partial shipment can be invoiced separately. Each partial shipment counts as a separate delivery to which these conditions apply.
3.4 Delivery takes place at the delivery address specified by the customer. The customer is responsible for correctly and completely entering this address during the ordering process. The specified delivery address is stated in the automatic order confirmation. Checking this is the responsibility of the customer.
3.5 If an incorrect delivery address is provided, the Supplier is not liable for loss, delay or incorrect delivery of the shipment. Any additional costs for reshipment or return will be fully borne by the customer.
3.6 If the ordered products are not (or no longer) available for whatever reason, the Supplier will inform the customer of this as soon as possible. The supplier will, in consultation, offer a replacement product or refund the amount already paid.
3.7 If the Supplier cannot deliver within thirty (30) days after placing the order, the customer has the right to terminate the agreement free of charge, unless the parties have expressly agreed in writing to a different delivery period.


4. Transportation
4.1 Unless otherwise agreed, all goods ordered by the customer will be delivered by the Supplier at the risk of the customer or sent for delivery to the agreed location and in the manner determined in the order confirmation or subsequently agreed. All facilities upon delivery of the goods/services are deemed to have been provided at the risk of the customer.
4.2 The transport of the goods will take place in a manner to be determined by the Supplier.
4.3 The goods to be transported are not insured unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. In that case, the insurance costs will be fully borne by the customer.
4.4 If the transport of the goods cannot take place for reasons beyond the Supplier's control, the Supplier is entitled to store the goods at the expense and risk of the buyer, without prejudice to the Supplier's right to payment of the purchase price.
4.5 The customer is fully responsible for correctly and completely providing the delivery address when placing the order. The delivery address specified by the customer will be confirmed in the automatic order confirmation that is sent immediately after ordering. If the delivery address is provided incorrectly, the Supplier is not liable for non-delivery or delay. Any additional shipping costs or damage resulting from an incorrectly specified delivery address will be borne by the customer.
4.6 After shipment, the customer will receive a track & trace code with which the shipment can be followed. The customer is responsible for monitoring the status of the shipment via this code.
4.7 If a shipment is indicated as delivered according to the track & trace, but has not been received, the customer must report this in writing (by email) to the Supplier within 48 hours after the indicated delivery date. Reports after this period cannot be processed; in that case the delivery is deemed to have been carried out correctly.
4.8 In the event of a notification of non-received shipment, the Supplier may request the customer to sign a declaration of non-receipt. This statement is provided by the Supplier and must be returned, fully completed and signed, within 3 working days of receipt. If the customer fails to provide this statement on time and correctly, the right to complain expires and the delivery is deemed to have been completed.


5. Complaints and money back guarantee
5.1 The Customer must check immediately after delivery whether the numbers of goods and/or services delivered correspond with the order. Any discrepancies between what was ordered and what was delivered must be notified to the Supplier by e-mail within 24 hours.
5.2 The Customer must check the delivered goods and/or services for visible defects immediately after delivery. Visible defects must be notified by the customer to the Supplier by e-mail no later than 48 hours after delivery.
5.3 Failure to comply with the provisions of paragraphs 1 or 2 of this article will result in the forfeiture of any rights of the customer.
5.4 In the event of rejection of the goods and/or services, the Supplier will, if desired, be given the opportunity to repair/redeliver the rejected goods and/or services or to carry them out in accordance with the order.
5.5 Processed and/or resold goods are deemed to have been approved, without the customer having any right of complaint.
5.6 Any complaints do not affect the payment obligations of the customer.
5.7 The Customer has the right to return an item purchased by him to the Supplier within fourteen days after delivery, after which the purchase price will be refunded by the Supplier. Shipping costs are not part of the purchase amount. These costs as well as the costs of return will remain at the expense of the Customer. A condition for a refund of the purchase amount is that both the item and the packaging are returned by the Supplier in new condition. The provisions of this paragraph do not affect what is regulated in the preceding paragraphs of this article.
5.8 Without prejudice to the provisions of the previous paragraphs, the customer who acts as a consumer has the right to terminate the agreement within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the goods without giving reasons. The Supplier provides a model withdrawal form for this purpose. The customer must return the goods to the Supplier within fourteen (14) days after the notification of dissolution. The supplier will refund the amounts already paid by the customer within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the cancellation, with the exception of the costs of returns.


6. Force majeure
6.1 Force majeure will be regarded as all circumstances of such a nature that compliance with the agreement cannot reasonably be required. Such circumstances will include: the total or partial default of a third party from whom goods and/or services must be received, restrictive government measures of any kind, mobilization, war, epidemics, strikes, company occupation, illness of personnel, business disruptions, fire, seizure, machinery defects, transport difficulties and furthermore any other circumstance that the Supplier could not reasonably have foreseen and over which the Supplier has no influence.
6.2 If, as a result of force majeure, the Supplier is unable to fulfill its obligations or is only able to fulfill its obligations with difficulty, it is entitled to suspend the agreement with the customer in whole or in part without judicial intervention or, if such suspension has lasted five months, to terminate the agreement by registered letter. In that case, the obligations under the agreement come to an end, without the parties being able to claim compensation or any other performance from each other. In the event of partial compliance by the Supplier, the customer will owe a reasonable portion of the total price.


7. Payment
7.1 All invoices will be paid by the customer in accordance with the payment conditions stated on the invoice. In the absence of specific conditions, the customer will pay within thirty days of the invoice date.
7.2 From the due date, the customer owes interest of 2% per month on the outstanding amount, whereby part of the month will be counted as a whole month, without any reminder, summons or notice of default being required by the Supplier to the customer. If the customer fails to pay the claim, the Supplier can outsource the claim, in which case the customer is also obliged to fully reimburse extrajudicial and judicial costs, including all costs calculated by external experts in addition to the costs determined in court, related to the collection of this claim or the exercise of legal rights otherwise. The Supplier is entitled to set the amount of the judicial and extrajudicial costs at a flat rate of 15% of the total amount, with a minimum of € 250 (two hundred and fifty euros).
7.3 Discount or compensation with any alleged claim against the Supplier by the customer is completely excluded.
7.4 In the event that the customer fails to fulfill any obligation arising from the agreement or does not do so in a timely manner, enters into a debt settlement with its creditors, applies for a suspension of payments or undergoes a similar procedure, becomes bankrupt, closes or transfers or dissolves its business, as well as if attachment is imposed on its behalf, any claim of the Supplier against the customer is immediately due and payable in its entirety. The Supplier also has the right to terminate the agreement without further notice of default or judicial intervention and to take back the goods already delivered but not yet paid for or to suspend the execution of the agreement, all without prejudice to the right to compensation.
7.5 The customer is deemed to have acknowledged the invoice as correct and the debt if no written protest has been made within 14 days of the date of the invoice.
7.6 If the invoice is paid in non-Dutch currency, an amount must be paid equal to the invoice amount in Euros (€) calculated at the commercial exchange rate of the day on which payment is made.


8. Retention of title to delivered goods
8.1 The delivered goods remain the property of the Supplier until the customer has fulfilled all obligations towards it, including any obligations to pay interest and costs. The customer undertakes to properly maintain the goods during this period and to insure them against all calamities.
8.2 If the same type of goods have been delivered on one or more unpaid invoices, the goods present at the customer are deemed to have been delivered on the unpaid invoices.
8.3 As long as the goods are the property of the Supplier, the customer may not resell or pledge them. In the event of violation of these prohibitions, the customer will forfeit an immediately due and payable fine without further notice of default being required. €5,000 (five thousand euros) and the purchase price is immediately due and payable in full, without prejudice to the Supplier's further claims.


9. Guarantee for delivered goods
9.1 The Supplier guarantees the proper functioning of the goods it supplies for a period of 3 years. Reliable means that the goods during this period possess the properties that may be expected on the basis of the agreement. If the delivered item shows a defect during this period, the customer is entitled to repair of the item under this warranty. The Supplier may choose to replace the item or refund the purchase price instead of repair if, in its opinion, repair cannot be required.
9.2 With regard to an item repaired or replaced on the basis of the first paragraph, the original start date of the warranty period remains in force. A new warranty period of 2 years will therefore not commence for a repaired or replaced item.
9.3. The warranty referred to in the first paragraph does not include errors and defects that are wholly or partly the result of:
a. incorrect, careless or inexpert use or failure to observe operating or maintenance instructions;
b. use in a manner other than the intended normal use;
c. external causes, such as fire or water damage;
d. assembly, installation or undoing by others than the Supplier;
e. use of materials or items that have been provided by the customer to the Supplier for processing or that have been used at the instruction or request of the customer;
f. application of methods and constructions in accordance with the customer's instructions;
g. application of a government regulation;
h. changes not authorized in writing by the Supplier that the customer or a third party makes or has made in the products or parts supplied by the Supplier in the context of warranty or maintenance;
i. usual wear and tear;
j. Livolo Nederland B.V. is not responsible for the installation of the products, the products must be installed by a recognized installer.
k. Livolo Nederland B.V. continuously strives to improve our products and can therefore stock different versions of our touch switches with LED orientation lighting. It is possible that there are visible differences in the brightness and quality of the LED lighting between older and updated versions of our products.
When installed side by side, there may be a noticeable difference between these versions. This variation is inherent to the continuous improvement process of our products. Customers who order touch switches agree to the understanding that such variations may occur and are not a defect.

9.5 The warranty referred to in the first paragraph lapses entirely if the customer does not fulfill his obligations to the Supplier, does not do so on time or does not properly fulfill them or if the customer has the item repaired or repaired himself or by a third party.
9.6 Work and repair costs outside the scope of this warranty will continue
The supplier will be charged in accordance with its usual rates.
9.7 Legal actions regarding defects must be filed within six months of the complaint within the warranty period referred to in the first paragraph, under penalty of forfeiture.
9.8 If the Supplier deems this necessary in the context of the implementation of the warranty obligations, the delivered goods will be transported and delivered by the customer at the expense and risk of the customer to a location to be determined by the Supplier.

10.2 Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 5 paragraph 1 and Article 5 paragraph 2 of these conditions, any liability shall lapse if the customer has not informed the Supplier in writing of its existence within five days after discovery of any defect or the time at which any defect should reasonably have been discovered. This article is completely without prejudice to the provisions of Articles 5, paragraph 1 and 5, paragraph 2. This article therefore only relates to situations that are not covered by Articles 5(1) and 5(2).

Consumers (private individuals)

11.1 Without prior written permission, the Supplier is not obliged to accept returns from the customer.

If the Product is defective more than fifteen (15) days after receipt, it cannot be exchanged and there is no right to a refund.

The customer must then inform the Supplier in writing within five (5) working days of this notification of its choice with regard to the products in question.
If the customer wishes to receive the products back, the shipping costs will be fully borne by the customer. The risk and responsibility of returning lie with the customer.
