Article 1. Definitions
1.1 Under ‘the company’, these conditions refer to Big Bags Britain, Lokhorstweg 13a, 27, 3851 SE Ermelo. Trading under the name Big Bags Britain and registered with the Chamber of Commerce under number 85567930.
1.2 Under ‘purchaser’, these conditions refer to the person with whom Big Bags Britain B.V. has entered into or has entered into an agreement.
1.3 Hereafter, Big Bags Britain will be abbreviated to BBB.

Article 2. Applicability
2.1 These conditions apply to every offer and every agreement between the company and the purchaser and all resulting obligations. The applicability of the purchaser’s general terms and conditions is expressly rejected.
2.2 If the purchaser has once purchased under the applicability of the conditions of BBB, they are deemed to have tacitly agreed to the applicability of the conditions for all subsequent orders given by them, regardless of the nature of the order and regardless of whether or not there is a written confirmation of such an order by BBB.
2.3 If BBB does not always demand strict compliance with these general terms and conditions, this does not mean that the provisions thereof do not apply, or that BBB would in any way lose the right to demand strict compliance with the provisions of these general terms and conditions in other cases.
2.4 All agents, representatives, employees, resellers or others who have received an assignment from BBB, or who have been appointed or employed by BBB, will each enjoy the same protection and be entitled to the same exclusions, exemptions, and limitations of liability as will apply to BBB itself under these general terms and conditions or under any agreement concluded with BBB.

Article 3. Quotes
3.1 An offer, quote, or price quotation does not bind BBB and is only considered as an invitation to the purchaser to place an order, unless the contrary is expressly stated.
3.2 The quotes issued by the company are without obligation. The prices mentioned in a quote are exclusive of VAT, unless otherwise indicated.

Article 4. Delivery and risk
4.1 The goods are transported in a manner to be determined by BBB. If the transport is not carried out by BBB, this will be at the expense and risk of the purchaser, unless explicitly agreed otherwise. In that case, the purchaser must also arrange for the insurance of the transport.
4.2 Delivery is deemed to have taken place by the receipt of the goods by the purchaser, or, in the case of shipment by means of a transporter, by the transfer of the goods to the transporter.
4.3 The purchaser is obliged to take delivery of all purchased goods at the agreed time, or in the absence thereof, at the time indicated by the company. If the purchaser does not fully and/or timely take delivery of the purchased goods or is negligent in providing information or instructions necessary for the (timely) delivery, the goods will be stored at the expense and risk of the purchaser.
4.4 All deliveries from BBB are made ex works unless expressly and in writing agreed otherwise.

Article 5. Delivery time
5.1 The delivery time specified by BBB is indicative and based on the circumstances that applied to BBB at the time of the conclusion of the agreement and, insofar as BBB depends on the performance of third parties, on the information that such third parties have provided to BBB. BBB should adhere to the delivery time as much as possible but an agreed delivery time is never a strict deadline. Exceeding the delivery time does not give the purchaser the right to cancel the order or refuse receipt of a shipment or part of a shipment, nor does it obligate the company to any compensation to the purchaser.
5.2 The delivery time starts after BBB has confirmed the order in writing or by email to the purchaser.
5.3 The company is entitled to adjust an agreed term if and insofar as the purchaser fails to provide information that the company needs for the execution of the order.
5.4 The company is allowed to deliver sold goods in parts (partial shipments).
5.5 If the goods are delivered in parts, the company is authorized to invoice each part (partial shipment) separately to the purchaser.

Article 6. Quality
6.1 BBB is not deemed to have given a warranty, guarantee, or other recommendation regarding the suitability of the goods for any specific purpose. The purchaser must ascertain whether the goods are suitable for the purpose for which the purchaser wishes to use them, and BBB gives no guarantee or statement in this regard.
6.2 The sold goods must possess the properties that have been agreed in writing between the parties.
6.3 The delivered quantities are stated by BBB on the delivery document.
6.4 If the purchaser does not make any possible objection to the delivery document known to BBB in writing or by email within 48 hours of receipt thereof, the quantity stated on the delivery document is deemed to accurately represent the delivered goods.
6.5 If the sold goods are intended for any specific use that involves special risks or quality requirements, the purchaser must expressly make this known to the company in advance, and this specific use must be recorded in writing in the agreement, failing which normal use is assumed.

Article 7. Tolerance
7.1 With regard to the agreed specifications, the deviations listed below, both upwards and downwards, are permissible. For assessment, the average of the total quantity delivered in one type, quality, color, and execution will serve as a standard. For other specifications than those mentioned below, the deviations allowed in previous deliveries, or in the absence thereof, the usual deviations are permissible. If a minimum or maximum value has been agreed upon, then a double deviation upwards, respectively downwards, is allowed.
7.2 Even if stricter specifications are agreed upon in writing, minor deviations in color, thickness, quality, dimensions, and other such data only count as a shortcoming if the purchaser demonstrates that the deviation affects the functionality of the sold goods.
7.3 Regarding quantity, BBB is deemed to have performed adequately if deviations in the quantities of the products do not exceed:

5% above or below the specified height, width, diameter, or length of the products.
5% above or below the specified thickness of the fabric (gr/m2/Mu).

Article 8. Termination of the agreement
8.1 The company’s claims on the purchaser are immediately due and payable in the following cases:
After circumstances have come to the knowledge of the company, which give it good reason to fear that the purchaser will not fulfill its obligations.
If the company has requested the purchaser to provide security in accordance with Article 15.7 of these conditions and this security is not forthcoming or is insufficient.
If the purchaser is liquidated, declared bankrupt, or granted a moratorium on payments. In the aforementioned cases, the company is authorized to suspend the (further) execution of its obligations under the agreement or to dissolve the agreement, without prejudice to the company’s right to claim compensation.
8.2 Furthermore, BBB is authorized to dissolve the agreement if circumstances arise of such a nature that fulfillment of the agreement is impossible or can no longer be demanded according to the standards of reasonableness and fairness, or if other circumstances arise of such a nature that the unaltered maintenance of the agreement cannot reasonably be expected.

Article 9. Retention of title
9.1 Regardless of whether the sold goods have already been delivered in fact, the ownership thereof only passes to the purchaser when he has fully paid all amounts due to BBB with respect to the goods that have been delivered or must be delivered under any agreement, or for any reason whatsoever, including the purchase price, any additional costs, interest, taxes, and costs due under these general terms and conditions or the agreement. The reserved ownership also applies to all obligations arising from any agreement that BBB may obtain against the purchaser.
9.2 The company is entitled to retrieve as many delivered goods from the purchaser until the sales proceeds realized from the private or public sale of the retrieved goods have satisfied the company’s entire claim, including costs and (statutory commercial) interest, and any compensation for damages.

BBB may require the purchaser to provide visual material (photo/film) of the defects before the complaint is processed.

11.8 If the complaints concern a part of the delivered goods, this cannot be a reason for rejection of the entire batch, unless the delivered batch cannot reasonably be considered usable in such a case.
11.9 If a complaint and/or claim regarding a delivered item is justified, BBB shall be obliged to no more than replacing the rejected item at its own expense or, at BBB’s choice, to credit the purchaser for an amount equal to the price owed by the purchaser for the rejected item.
11.10 In the case of total replacement or compensation of goods, the already used part thereof will be taken into account.
11.11 Any claim of the purchaser expires after he/she has put the purchased goods into use, has processed or treated them, has printed or cut them, respectively has put them into use, has had them processed or treated, has had them printed or cut, or has delivered them to third parties, unless the purchaser demonstrates that he was reasonably unable to make the complaint known to BBB at an earlier stage.

12.5 In the event of late payment, BBB is also entitled to suspend the delivery of other goods and/or to dissolve other agreements entered into with the purchaser or to suspend their execution, without being obliged to any compensation. In that case, the purchaser is obliged to pay any expenses and to compensate BBB for the resulting losses or damages, including loss of profits.
