Website: The websites of the User under the URL https://b2b.loveissue.nl/.
Customer: any (legal) person, whether or not registered with the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands or – if the company is established outside the Netherlands – with a similar authority (such as the Belgian Trade Register) and who has an account created with User and/or with whom User enters into an agreement or to whom User makes an offer, regardless of their location worldwide.
1.2 These terms and conditions apply to all offers, quotations, deliveries, and agreements of any kind whatsoever between User and Customer, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
These terms and conditions also apply to all future offers, quotations, deliveries to, and agreements with the Customer by User, unless new or amended general terms and conditions of User apply to them.
1.3 The Customer accepts these general terms and conditions by placing and/or confirming his/her order. The Customer is deemed to have read the general terms and conditions. Objections regarding these conditions must be made known in writing/prior to confirmed email.
1.4 The applicability of any purchasing or other terms and conditions of the Customer is expressly rejected.
1.5 If one or more provisions in these terms and conditions are wholly or partially void or nullified at any time, the remainder of these terms and conditions shall remain in full force and effect. User and Customer shall then enter into consultation to agree on new provisions to replace the void or nullified provisions, taking into account, as much as possible, the purpose of the original provisions.
1.6 If there is any ambiguity regarding the interpretation of one or more provisions of these terms and conditions, the interpretation shall be made in accordance with the spirit of these provisions.
1.7 User only supplies to companies registered with the Chamber of Commerce or – if the company is established outside the Netherlands – with a similar authority. By placing an order, the Customer confirms that he is such a company.
1.8 User reserves the right to unilaterally amend these general terms and conditions. The Customer will be notified thereof.
Quotations
2.1 All offers, quotations, and price quotations are non-binding. An offer or quotation expires if the product to which the offer or quotation relates is no longer available in the meantime.
2.2 User expressly reserves the right to change the prices of its products, including when necessary based on (legal) regulations.
2.3 User cannot be held to its offers or quotations if the Customer can reasonably understand that an offer or quotation, or part thereof, contains an obvious mistake or typo.
2.4 A composite price quotation does not obligate User to perform a portion of the order for a corresponding part of the quoted price.
2.5 Offers or quotations do not apply to future orders.
2.6 Information, images, oral, telephone, or email communications provided and statements regarding offers and the key characteristics of the products are presented or made as accurately as possible. However, User does not guarantee that all offers and products are fully in line with the information provided. Deviations cannot, in principle, lead to compensation and/or dissolution.
Formation of Agreement
3.1 The agreement between User and Customer is concluded, subject to the provisions of clause 2, at the moment of acceptance by the Customer of the offer and compliance with the conditions set forth therein.
3.2 If the Customer accepts the offer electronically, the agreement is concluded at the moment an order confirmation – of an order provided by the Customer – is sent by email to the email address provided by the Customer. The Customer and User expressly agree that the use of electronic communication forms creates a valid agreement as soon as this order confirmation is sent to the Customer. User’s electronic files shall, to the extent permitted by law, serve as a presumption of evidence.
3.3 Oral offers or commitments do not bind User unless confirmed in writing by User within 8 days.
3.4 User has a minimum order amount of €35 (excluding VAT) for orders within the Netherlands and €50 (excluding VAT) for orders outside the Netherlands. If the Customer places an order below the mentioned amount, it is deemed that no valid agreement has been concluded, unless agreed otherwise in writing.
3.5 Each agreement is concluded subject to the suspensive condition of sufficient availability of the relevant products and/or services.
Changes
4.1 All changes to the original order must be communicated to User by the Customer in a timely and written manner. If the Customer communicates their changes orally to User, the risk for the implementation of the changes lies entirely with the Customer.
4.2 Changes to already placed orders may result in exceeding any agreed delivery time. User cannot be held liable for this.
4.3 Changes to the already placed order may result in the expiration of any previously provided composite price quotation to the Customer. In such case, User will provide the Customer with a new price quotation for the revised order.
4.4 In the event of cancellation of the order by the Customer, the Customer shall bear all costs incurred by User (including labor and materials), while User is also entitled to claim all resulting damages, costs, interest, and loss of profit from the Customer.
Prices
5.1 All our (wholesale) prices are in Euro and exclusive of turnover tax and additional costs, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing/confirmed via email.
5.2 The prices stated in a quotation or offer are exclusive of VAT and other government levies, any costs to be incurred in the context of the agreement, including travel and accommodation, shipping, and administrative costs, unless otherwise indicated.
Payment
6.1 Payment must be made by Ideal, Mastercard, Meastro, Visa, PayPal, or by payment afterwards. This can only be done after written approval from User with a payment term of 14 days after the invoice date.
6.2 If payment is not made within 30 days after the invoice date, the Customer is automatically in default. The Customer is then liable for interest of 1% per month, unless the statutory commercial interest rate is higher, in which case the statutory commercial interest rate is due. Interest on the amount due will be calculated from the moment the Customer is in default until the moment of full payment of the amount due.
6.3 User has the right to apply payments made by the Customer first to cover costs, then to cover accrued interest, and finally to cover the principal and current interest.
6.4 User may refuse an offer of payment without being in default if the Customer designates a different order for the allocation of the payment. User may refuse full repayment of the principal amount if the accrued and current interest and collection costs are not also paid.
6.5 The Customer is never entitled to set off any amounts owed to User.
6.6 If the Customer defaults on or is late in the (timely) performance of its obligations, all reasonable costs incurred to obtain payment out of court will be borne by the Customer. The extrajudicial costs will be calculated based on what is customary in Dutch collection practice, currently the calculation method in accordance with the Dutch Extrajudicial Collection Costs Standardization Act and the corresponding Decree. However, if User has incurred higher collection costs that were reasonably necessary, the actual costs incurred will be eligible for reimbursement. Any judicial and enforcement costs incurred will also be charged to the Customer. The Customer is also liable for interest on the incurred collection costs.
6.7 Objections to the amount of an invoice do not suspend the payment obligation.
6.8 The Customer is obliged, under penalty of forfeiture of rights, to report inaccuracies in provided or stated payment details promptly and no later than two weeks after receipt to the entrepreneur.

In such case, the Customer has the right to terminate the agreement without any costs.
7.4 In case of termination according to the preceding clause, User shall refund the amount paid by the Customer as soon as possible, but no later than within 30 days after termination.
7.5 After User has submitted the order for shipping, the risk of damage and/or loss rests with the Customer.

10.4 If User is held liable by third parties for any reason, the Customer shall support User both extrajudicially and judicially and shall immediately do everything that can reasonably be expected of him in that context. If the Customer fails to do so, User is entitled, without notice of default, to take action itself. All costs and damages incurred by User and third parties as a result thereof shall be fully borne by the Customer.
