2. Scope

  • The Seller sells exclusively to businesses acting in the course of their trade or profession. The Seller does not sell to consumers.
  • These Terms apply to the exclusion of the Buyer’s general terms and conditions, which are expressly rejected.
  • Deviations from these Terms are valid only if agreed in writing by the Seller.
  • If any provision of these Terms is void or annulled, the remaining provisions remain in force, and the parties will replace the invalid provision with one that comes as close as possible to its purpose.

3. Offers and formation of contract

  • All offers and price lists are without obligation and valid for the period stated in the offer. If no period is stated, an offer is valid for three working days.
  • Product descriptions, specifications, photographs and nutritional information on the website are indicative. The specification that applies to a delivery is the one set out in the written offer or contract.
  • A contract is formed only when the Seller issues a written order confirmation or sales contract, or when both parties sign a sales contract.
  • Prices of agricultural commodities depend on markets, exchange rates and freight rates. Unless a price is confirmed in a signed contract, the Seller may revise it before the contract is formed.

4. Prices and delivery terms

  • Prices are in euros (EUR) or US dollars (USD) as stated in the contract, exclusive of VAT and any import duties, taxes or charges in the country of destination.
  • Delivery terms are interpreted in accordance with Incoterms® 2020 as agreed in the contract (for example FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF or DAP).
  • Delivery periods are estimates unless expressly agreed as fixed dates. If a delivery period is exceeded, the Buyer must give the Seller written notice of default and a reasonable further period to perform.
  • The Seller may deliver in instalments. Each instalment may be invoiced separately.
  • Quantity tolerances customary in the trade apply to bulk commodities (normally plus or minus 5 %, or as stated in the contract), and the price is adjusted to the quantity actually delivered.

5. Payment

  • Payment is made by the method stated in the contract, such as an irrevocable documentary letter of credit, documentary collection (cash against documents) or bank transfer against presentation of shipping documents.
  • Payments are made only to the bank account stated in the Seller’s written contract and invoice. The Seller will never change its bank details by email alone. The Buyer must verify any change by telephone with the Seller before making payment.
  • If payment is late, the Buyer owes statutory commercial interest under Article 6:119a of the Dutch Civil Code, together with reasonable costs of collection.
  • Bank charges in the Buyer’s country are for the Buyer’s account, and bank charges in the Seller’s country are for the Seller’s account, unless agreed otherwise.

6. Quality, inspection and complaints

  • The goods must conform to the specification in the contract. Where the contract provides for inspection at loading by an independent surveyor, the surveyor’s certificate of quality and weight is final and binding, except in the case of manifest error.
  • The Buyer must inspect the goods on arrival. Complaints about visible defects or shortages must be made in writing within 5 working days of arrival for dry goods and within 24 hours of arrival for fresh produce and livestock, with photographs and a surveyor’s report where available.
  • Goods subject to a complaint must be kept available for inspection by the Seller or its surveyor and must not be processed, resold or destroyed without the Seller’s written consent.
  • If a complaint is justified, the Seller may choose to replace the goods, deliver the shortfall or credit the Buyer for the proportional value of the non-conforming goods.

7. Livestock

  • Livestock is sold on the basis of the individual animal records supplied with the offer and the veterinary health certificates issued before loading.
  • Animals are transported in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 on the protection of animals during transport and the import protocol of the country of destination.
  • Risk of death, injury or illness of animals passes to the Buyer in accordance with the agreed Incoterm. Losses in transit are covered only if livestock transit insurance has been agreed in the contract.
  • Any claim concerning the health status of animals must be supported by an official veterinary report issued within 48 hours of arrival.

8. Retention of title and risk

  • Title to the goods remains with the Seller until the Buyer has paid in full everything owed under the contract.
  • Risk passes to the Buyer in accordance with the agreed Incoterm.

9. Liability

  • The Seller’s total liability under or in connection with a contract is limited to the invoice value of the goods concerned.
  • The Seller is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of production, business interruption or claims from the Buyer’s customers.
  • These limitations do not apply to damage caused by the Seller’s intent or deliberate recklessness.

10. Force majeure

The Seller is not liable for failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. These include crop failure, adverse weather, epidemics and animal disease outbreaks, export or import bans, sanctions, government measures, war, strikes, port congestion, a shortage of transport capacity, or failure by the Seller’s own suppliers. If force majeure lasts longer than 60 days, either party may terminate the affected part of the contract in writing without liability.

11. Compliance and sanctions

Both parties will comply with applicable export control, sanctions, anti-money-laundering and anti-corruption laws. The Seller may suspend or terminate a contract without liability if performance would breach such laws.

12. Governing law and disputes

  • All offers and contracts are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply.
  • Any disputes will be submitted exclusively to the competent court in the district where the Seller has its registered office, unless the parties agree in writing to arbitration.
