Therefore, Kiiroo is not liable in the event of any such discrepancies.
- An Agreement will solely be duly executed after written confirmation and acceptance by Kiiroo.
- The text of a confirmation, as described in Paragraph 1 of this Article, determines the contents of the Agreement.
- Should a number of persons or legal entities form the Customer, they will all be jointly and severally liable for the (due and timely) fulfilment of the Agreement. Should the Agreement have been entered into by a third party on behalf of the Customer, said third party will warrant the Customer having accepted these General Terms and Conditions, failing which the third party is bound to these General Terms and Conditions as if it were the Customer itself.
- Kiiroo is entitled to engage third parties in the Execution of the Agreement.
- Save express permission in writing from Kiiroo, the Customer is forbidden to assign rights or duties under the Agreement to third parties.
- Kiiroo is entitled to refuse the request to enter into an Agreement partially or completely or to postpone the execution of an Agreement for reasons of its own. This authority can be invoked, amongst other, because of the contents, nature, import or form of such a request as well as because of technical objections, refusal of (advance) payment or conflict of the request with the interests of Kiiroo or third parties, amongst which other Customers.
- The Customer cannot derive any rights from advice and information it obtained from Kiiroo if it bears no direct relation to the Agreement.
- The product delivered may (slightly) differ from any samples, pictures or other images of the product previously viewed by the Customer. Kiiroo shall in no event be held to amend the product in case of such differences.
- Except with explicit permission in writing from Kiiroo, the Customer (unless being a natural person) is not entitled to terminate the Agreement completely or partially.
- All prices stated by Kiiroo are exclusive of turnover tax and other government levies and increases, unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.
- The price Kiiroo has stated for the performances to be executed by it, is exclusively valid for the performances in accordance with the specifications agreed upon.
- Kiiroo is entitled to charge extra costs, which were not agreed upon expressly in the Agreement, separately to the Customer, if incurring these costs is necessary for the execution of the Agreement. When appropriate, the Customer will be informed of such costs in writing as soon as possible.
- Kiiroo is furthermore entitled to raise the prices and tariffs agreed upon, amongst others in case of interim price increases and/or surcharges on prices of goods, costs of materials, semi-finished products or services necessary for the execution of the Agreement, shipping costs, wages or social contributions, decrease in value of the currencies agreed upon and all other government measures having the effect of increasing prices as a result of which the cost price increases. In any such event, the Customer will be informed thereof in writing as soon as reasonably possible.
- Amounts agreed in the Agreement will be charged by means of an invoice. Payment must occur within the term of payment named in the Agreement, being the strict deadline. If no term of payment was included in the Agreement, payment is to take place within 14 days after the invoice date, being the strict deadline.
- Any payment by the Customer must be made without any (claimed) right of discount, suspension, deduction and/or set off.
- If it has been agreed that a delivery by Kiiroo will take place in multiple instalments and the first instalment has been delivered, besides payment for this instalment, Kiiroo is entitled to demand payment for the costs incurred for the whole delivery.
- At all times, and irrespective of the terms of payment agreed upon, the Customer is obliged to provide, at Kiiroo’s first request, security for the amounts to be paid to Kiiroo under the Agreement. The security provided will have to be such that the claim and any and all interest and costs possibly accruing in respect of such amounts will be properly covered and that Kiiroo will be able to recover from it without difficulty. A security which may have become insufficient at a later stage will have to be supplemented to a sufficient security at Kiiroo’s first request. Furthermore, the Customer is at all times, and regardless of the terms of payment, held to pay an advance for the payment of the amounts payable to Kiiroo under the Agreement, especially for costs of purchase, development production and transport connected to the Execution of the Agreement (this in the widest sense of the word). In case of non-observance the Customer will be in default by operation of law, without Kiiroo being obliged to send a notice of default. Kiiroo will then, without prejudice to its rights under the law, be authorised, amongst others to postpone execution of the Agreement until the Customer has remedied this default.
- Independently of the way they are named, payments will in all events first be considered to meet the interest and costs incurred, and then to meet the oldest, unpaid invoice.
- In case the strict deadline for payment is exceeded, the Customer will be in default by operation of law and will then owe a contractual interest rate of 2% per calendar month (cumulative) over the amount owed, whereby any part of a calendar month shall be considered to be a full month, without prejudice to any other rights Kiiroo may exercise towards the Customer for non-payment or late payment.
- In the event the Customer is in default, Kiiroo is entitled and authorized to forthwith postpone the execution of the Agreement, until the Customer has fully met his outstanding (financial) obligations.
- If Kiiroo is obliged to engage third parties to collect its claim, all further costs entailed will fall to the Customer, both judicial and extra-judicial, the latter being fixed at 15% of the amount to be claimed with a minimum of € 500.-, this besides Kiiroo’s further right to claim compensation of damages suffered.
- All delivery times given by Kiiroo are approximate delivery times and can never be considered to be strict deadlines.
- Any delivery time will only commence when agreement has been reached between parties on all commercial and technical details, all necessary data are in the possession of Kiiroo, the payments (in instalments) have been received and, furthermore, all other conditions for the execution of the agreement have been met.
- The mere expiration of a delivery time does not constitute a default on the part of Kiiroo.
- In case of delivery time explicitly agreed to be a strict deadline is not met by Kiiroo, the Customer must first serve Kiiroo with a notice of default in writing, granting Kiiroo a reasonable term for compliance, said term never being shorter than 14 days, before Kiiroo shall be in default. Within such term, Kiiroo is not liable for any compensation of damages, interest and/or other costs.
- Kiiroo is free in the way it will execute the agreement, unless Parties have entered into explicit agreements in writing.
- Kiiroo is not held to deliver goods in instalments, however, Kiiroo does have the right to execute the Agreement in instalments. In case of delivery in instalments, each delivery is to be considered to be a separate transaction.
- In the execution of the Agreement, the Customer is held by Kiiroo to do everything in reason necessary or desirable to enable a timely delivery by Kiiroo.
- Should the Customer not meet his obligations ensuing from the Agreement, Kiiroo will be authorised and entitled to postpone and suspend the execution of the Agreement forthwith, or to completely or partially dissolve, annul or adapt the Agreement. Kiiroo can never be held to any compensation of damages to the Customer as a result of such a suspension, dissolution annulment or adaptation. The Customer is, however, held to compensation of any damages ensuing from the delay caused by the suspension, also in respect of third parties and fully indemnifies Kiiroo in this matter.
- The Customer shall be obliged to follow any instructions on the use of the products provided by Kiiroo.
- The Customer shall in no event be entitled to modify any product in any manner. Modifications shall included any addition to the product and/or affixation of any sign to identify the Customer.
- This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, but which when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.
- The manner of transport, shipping, packaging and suchlike will at all times be determined by Kiiroo.
- Delivery of the goods by Kiiroo will take place at the address designated by the Customer. This address must be safely accessible for transport and reachable via a suitable road. The Customer is held to immediately check the goods to be delivered by Kiiroo, prior to acceptance thereof.
- Acceptance of the goods delivered by Kiiroo to the Customer will serve as proof that these are in an outwardly good condition, at which moment the risks will devolve upon the Customer.
- Kiiroo will remain owner of all goods delivered by it, as long as the Customer has not completely met all it’s obligations pursuant to the Agreement, especially obligations to pay, this inclusive of interest and costs.
- Kiiroo is at all times entitled to repossess the goods delivered by it or to have them repossessed. The Customer therefore authorises Kiiroo, or third parties engaged by them, to enter the business accommodation and other premises where the delivered goods have been stored and/or have been placed, and to do anything that can promote repossession and to refrain form anything which might frustrate repossession, failing which, the Customer shall forfeit an immediately due and payable penalty of € 10,000.- per day, which can not be mitigated, that it remains in default.
- The goods delivered by Kiiroo may solely be processed or resold to a third party by the Customer in the framework of normal business operations.

- At Kiiroo’s first Request the Customer undertakes to:
- insure, or to have and keep the goods to which, pursuant to this article, a retention of title applies, insured against damage by fire, explosion and water, together with theft and loss, and to present the relative policies to Kiiroo for inspection;

- to regard and specify as such the goods delivered by Kiiroo to which retention of title applies, pursuant to this article;
- to cooperate in every other way with all reasonable measures Kiiroo wishes to take for the protection and safeguarding of its rights of ownership in relation to the goods delivered by it under retention of title;
