1.5 If any provision of these General Terms and Conditions is void or nullified, the other stipulations of these General Terms and Conditions will remain in full force.
2. Offers
2.1 All offers are without any obligation to Centimo, unless explicitly indicated otherwise in the offer.
2.2 Centimo’s offers are valid for a period of 30 days, unless explicitly indicated otherwise in the offer. The offer does not result in any obligation for Centimo until Purchaser’s order has been accepted by Centimo in compliance with these General Terms and Conditions.
2.3 Centimo is not bound by any verbal statements, unless Centimo has confirmed these statements in writing.
2.4 Any contract between Centimo and Purchaser comes into effect on the date Centimo confirms the order of Purchaser in writing, or in the absence of such written confirmation, on the date of Centimo’s delivery of the Goods to Purchaser.
2.5 Centimo reserves the right to refuse an order from Purchaser at its discretion.
3. Price and Delivery

3.4 Any agreed delivery period commences on the date of Centimo’s confirmation of Purchaser’s order. The mere exceeding of this term of delivery does not cause Centimo to be in default. Delivery after the agreed delivery date does not entitle Purchaser to damages, dissolution of the contract or any other action against Centimo.
3.5 The Goods sold by Centimo to Purchaser will be delivered to Purchaser delivered duty paid (DDP Incoterms 2000), unless the contract stipulates otherwise.
3.6 Centimo will inform Purchaser in time of the date on which Centimo intends to deliver the Goods.

3.10 The risk for loss or damage of the Goods passes to Purchaser at delivery thereof.
4. Payment
4.1 Purchaser must pay all invoices within 30 days of the invoice date.
4.2 If Purchaser fails to meet its payment obligations in full within the 30-day payment period, Purchaser shall be in default without Centimo having to serve notice thereof.

Once in default, Purchaser is obliged to fully pay the amount due as well as fully compensate Centimo for any extrajudicial costs and costs connected with the collection of the claim. This compensation is fixed at a minimum of 15% of the total amount due. Gedeponeerd bij de KvK te Amsterdam onder nummer 33254385 2 261006.
