  5. In the event of one or more of the provisions in these terms and conditions being made fully or partially null and void at any time, the other provisions will remain fully applicable. In that case, the parties will enter into consultation in order to make an alternative arrangement in respect of the affected clause. The purpose and intent of the original provision shall be taken into account in this alternative arrangement.

Article 3 Offers and conclusion of the agreement

  1. Unless a deadline for acceptance is given, any offer from Deltavorm is free of obligation. Deltavorm is never obliged to accept an assignment or order.
  2. Deltavorm cannot be held to its offers or proposals if the client should reasonably understand that the offer or proposal, or a part thereof, contains an apparent mistake or typing error.
  3. The client cannot derive any rights to an offer that is based on incorrect or incomplete data provided by the client.
  4. A compound quotation shall not oblige Deltavorm to execute part of the assignment against a corresponding part of the given quotation.
  5. Offers and quotations never automatically apply to future agreements.
  6. The agreement is concluded at the time that the offer from Deltavorm is accepted by the client in writing. Telephone orders or instructions from the client are not binding for Deltavorm until and in as much as they have been confirmed by Deltavorm in writing.

  3. If the offer or contract mentions completion or delivery times, these concern only indicative, non-binding deadlines. In the event of a delivery not being made on time if there is an agreed deadline in place, the client should send written notice of default to Deltavorm, in which it proposes a reasonable time to Deltavorm, which enables Deltavorm to meet and fulfill the agreement at the end of the latter period if fulfillment still has not taken place.

    • after the agreement has been concluded, Deltavorm learns of circumstances giving good ground to fear that the client will not fulfill its obligations.
    • the reasonable costs incurred to establish the cause and extent of the damage, insofar as this relates to direct damage as referred to in these conditions;
    • any reasonable costs incurred to meet the agreement, as far as this can be attributed to the poor performance of Deltavorm;
