In case of cancellation of the contract before its scheduled delivery date, the cancelling party will have to pay a fixed compensation of 20% of the value of the contract, with a minimum of 500,00 EUR if this occurs more than two (2) weeks before the scheduled delivery date and 100% if this occurs later.
Article 4- Price and payment
The price for our goods/services is the one indicated on the offer and includes VAT. All our invoices are payable within 14 days of receipt, unless the quotation stipulates a different due date. If we ask for an advance payment, we will only start our activities after receipt of the advance payment.
For any delay in payment, the Customer shall be liable, ipso jure and without prior notice, to default interest of 1% per month started, each month started counting as a full month, without prejudice to any damages and costs. Also, by operation of law and without prior notice of default, a fixed compensation amounting to 10% of the invoice amount with a minimum of 250 euros will be payable as a penalty clause, without prior notice of default and on top of the principal sum, the interest on arrears, collection, demand and judicial or legal costs.
