Application
These general terms and conditions shall apply to all our transactions and services. The general terms and conditions of our client are explicitly excluded.
By signing an order form, entering into an agreement, accepting delivery or an invoice for any of CYAGO NV’s goods or services, the client accepts that these general terms and conditions shall apply.

Quotation and order confirmation
The client is at all times responsible for providing correct data. CYAGO NV is not responsible for the functioning of products or installations if the quote is based on incorrect data supplied to CYAGO NV.
An order shall be binding after the provision of our explicit and written order confirmation. In all cases, our invoice is to be regarded evidence of written confirmation of order.

Prices
The price is the price indicated in the contract. If the contract does not specify a price, we will apply the costplus basis and unit prices, as applicable on the day of execution of the work. These prices can be requested in advance at CYAGO NV.
When placing an order, the client accepts that CYAGO NV is entitled to adjust the agreed price should the costs of wages, social security contributions, raw materials, foreign currency and suchlike have increased since the date of the agreement. Such a price increase shall be communicated to the client in writing and is binding for him.
All prices are exclusive of VAT and other government levies.
All prices are exclusive of any costs, such as travel and accommodation, shipping and handling costs, unless otherwise agreed.

Assembly and installation
The client is responsible towards CYAGO NV for the correct and timely execution of all facilities, provisions and/or conditions necessary for the erection of the product to be assembled and/or the correct functioning of the product in its assembled state. The assessment as to whether the client has complied with the necessary provision of facilities and conditions belongs to CYAGO NV.
Without prejudice to these provisions, the client shall in all cases ensure at their own expense and risk that:
. as soon as the staff of CYAGO NV have arrived at the place of installation, they can commence and continue their work during normal working hours and furthermore, if CYAGO NV considers it necessary, outside normal working hours, on condition that they have informed the client in such time;

. at the start of, and during assembly, the products delivered are present in the correct place.
Damage and costs arising from the fact that the conditions set out in this article have not been met or have not been met on time shall be borne by the client.

Delivery/performance –  transfer of risk – force majeure
The delivery and execution deadlines are approximate and are given in good faith, and are stated purely as an indication. Any delay in delivery or execution cannot therefore give rise to compensation or dissolution of the agreement.
The terms of delivery and execution time begin upon receipt of the order form signed for approval by the client, the written order confirmation by CYAGO NV, the technical agreement of the client and the first payment by the client.
For goods:
The goods sold are delivered to our warehouses and must be collected by the customer at the agreed time.
From that moment on, the risk is transferred to the client. The client shall bear the risk of loading and transporting the goods.
If the client does not collect the goods after a notice of default, they will be liable for the costs of storage of the goods to CYAGO NV.
For assembly/installation:
Immediately after the assembly/installation has been carried out, the customer shall bear the risk for all direct and indirect damage which may be caused to or by the goods and the installation. From that moment on, the client is also expected to use and maintain the goods and the installation in accordance with the principle of “best practise good housekeeping”.
If the delivery is delayed or prevented by force majeure, CYAGO NV is entitled to adjust the delivery terms, or to terminate the agreement without the client being able to claim compensation.
In these general terms and conditions, force majeure is understood to mean: Any circumstance beyond the control of CYAGO NV – even if this was already foreseeable at the time the agreement was entered into – which prevents the fulfilment of the agreement permanently or temporarily, as well as, insofar as not already included, war, threat of war, civil war, terrorist attacks and the consequences of epidemics, riots, strikes, lock outs, transport difficulties, fire, theft, material breakage and other serious disruptions to the business of CYAGO NV or its suppliers.

Retention of title
The delivered goods shall remain the legal property of CYAGO NV until full payment of the principal sum, associated costs and applicable interest / penalties.
CYAGO NV will be entitled to unhindered access to the goods when necessary. The client will provide CYAGO NV with all required assistance in order to enable CYAGO NV to exercise its retention of title by retrieving the goods, including any dismantling work required for that purpose. All costs arising there from are at the expense of the client.
