Terms & Conditions

GENERAL SALES CONDITIONS
 
Article 1: Object and scope

These general sales conditions apply to all sales contracts that you conclude with LeanFlow. By concluding a sales contract with LeanFlow, the buyer declares to have known and accepted the general terms and conditions of sale. Additional and / or deviating conditions of the buyer are only enforceable if they have been confirmed in writing by LeanFlow. In that case, our conditions of sale apply to all points that have not been explicitly deviated from.

Article 2: Studies, quotations, agreements

The quotations of LeanFlow have a validity of 1 month, after which they are subject to price changes.
Studies, drawings, plans, designs and other documents made available to the customer remain the property of LeanFlow. They may not be transferred to third parties, offered for inspection or copied. The customer is liable for any abuse and LeanFlow reserves the right to claim compensation.
When the customer requests that LeanFlow perform additional work, it accepts that the additional works are not included in the quotation and will therefore be invoiced additionally.
An order is only binding if it is accepted by us expressly and in writing. Cancellation of the order can take place no later than 5 days after the placing of the order, subject to the payment of a termination fee equal to 20% of the value of the agreement, notwithstanding the right of LeanFlow to claim compensation for its actual damage.

Article 3: Execution, delivery, deadlines

The start of your project is determined in consultation. If we ask you an advance, the period within which the activities are started will at the earliest depend on the time at which the advance is received.
We do our very best to keep turnaround times as short as possible. The specified delivery dates are, however, purely indicative. Delay in the performance of the work or delivery of the goods does not entitle the customer to compensation or dissolution of the contract. Cases of force majeure (exemplary machine breakdown, strike, lack of raw materials due to non-delivery by own suppliers, etc ...) also exclude any claim for compensation, irrespective of the extent to which the execution of the agreement is influenced by it.
The buyer must ensure that the services and / or the goods can be delivered and installed by LeanFlow in a normal manner at the agreed place and the agreed time, thereby ensuring, among other things, the accessibility of the delivery point. If this is not met, the buyer is obliged to compensate the seller for all damage, including the waiting hours, storage costs and costs for the maintenance of the goods.
If LeanFlow, as a result of a cause independent of its will, is definitively in the impossibility of executing an accepted order, it can terminate the contract by means of an ordinary notification, without this giving rise to compensation.

After this period, LeanFlow only guarantees hidden defects that render the item unsuitable for the use to which it is intended, insofar as the goods have not been processed and as far as LeanFlow knew or should have known the defects. The buyer notifies LeanFlow within no more than 5 calendar days, after discovering the hidden defect, of the existence of the hidden defect by means of a registered letter with a detailed description of the defect.
