These general terms and conditions of sale (hereinafter referred to as the "General Conditions") apply to and form an integral part of all offers and quotations from Belixys BV (hereinafter referred to as "Belixys"), all acceptances, acknowledgments, and order confirmations, as well as all agreements relating to the sale, rental, or provision of services by Belixys, unless expressly stated otherwise by Belixys. The customer’s general purchasing conditions are hereby explicitly rejected. Unless otherwise stipulated, an offer issued by Belixys is valid for a period of 30 calendar days from its date of issuance. After this period, Belixys may withdraw the offer at its discretion. Any agreement relating to the delivery of products or services will be concluded on the date on which (i) the customer sends the order to Belixys in accordance with the terms of the offer, or (ii) Belixys sends the order confirmation to the customer, whichever occurs first. Unless otherwise agreed upon between the parties, all delivery and execution dates are indicative and non-binding. A delay, partial delivery of products, or partial execution of services shall not give rise to a right to compensation or cancellation of the order. Belixys undertakes to make commercially reasonable efforts to meet the delivery dates communicated or agreed upon, provided that the customer provides all necessary information in a timely manner to meet the said date. Belixys' liability regarding its products and services is subject to the terms and conditions defined in the specifications available to the customer. This liability does not include any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Belixys will have no obligation or responsibility to the customer in case of intellectual property infringement by a third party if Belixys does not receive: (i) prompt written notification of the claim; (ii) the exclusive right to manage the investigation, preparation, settlement, and defense of the claim, including the choice of counsel; and (iii) reasonable assistance and cooperation from the customer in this regard. Any claim must also be introduced within three (3) years after the product/service delivery date. In the event of a claim for product infringement, Belixys reserves the right, without obligation and at its discretion: (i) to provide the customer with the necessary rights; (ii) to replace the product; (iii) to modify the product so that it no longer infringes; or (iv) to terminate an agreement, to the extent it concerns this product. Except in the case of willful misconduct, Belixys’ liability is limited to replacement, refund, or additional delivery at Belixys' sole discretion. Belixys will not be liable for loss of profits, loss of savings, loss of reputation, loss of opportunities, indirect, punitive, special, or consequential damages resulting from the agreement or the sale of products/services by Belixys, even if it has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Belixys' cumulative liability will not exceed the purchase price of the products or services delivered. Any claim becomes invalid after six (6) months from the discovery of the underlying elements of such a claim. All invoices are payable within 30 days from the date of issue to the specified bank account, without reduction, discount, setoff, or compensation. In case of non-payment in full by the due date, interest will be due automatically and without notice, in accordance with the Belgian law of August 2, 2002, regarding late payments in commercial transactions. Furthermore, a compensation of 10% of the unpaid amounts will be due, as well as any applicable legal and extra-legal fees. In the event of non-payment, Belixys may suspend or cancel any delivery or service. Ownership of the products is transferred to the customer after full payment, but the risk of loss passes to the customer upon delivery according to the applicable INCOTERMS.
