c. If the other party applies other general terms and conditions such as purchase conditions, these will not bind Dreambeads, these will not apply and are hereby expressly rejected by Dreambeads.
d. Any deviation from these terms and conditions used or allowed by Dreambeads at any time to the benefit of the other party can never be construed as the latter’s right to appeal to it later or to claim the application of such deviation for them as an established fact.
e. If the other party takes note or could have taken note of these general conditions in another language than the Dutch language and differences in interpretation arise from the respective versions, the Dutch version will prevail over the version in the foreign language, unless Dreambeads expressly waives this in writing.

Article 2 - Offers
a.
All offers and quotations are non-committal, unless explicitly stated otherwise. They have been made to the best of Dreambeads’s knowledge and are based on data that may have been provided on the request for an offer.
b. The specifications provided by Dreambeads on websites, in images, catalogues, brochures or drawings or in any other way with respect to size, capacity, performance, colour, material structure, finish or results should be regarded as having been provided as estimates and as having been provided non-committally. Dreambeads is not held to comply with these specifications and therefore does not accept any liability for any incorrectness in these data.

Article 3.1 - Orders / agreements
a.1.
An order is understood to mean: every agreement with Dreambeads, regardless of whether it undertakes to execute activities or make staff, material or space available or carry out any other performance whatsoever, in the broadest sense.
b.1. All agreements entered into with Dreambeads will only become binding upon a written confirmation by Dreambeads or due to Dreambeads having commenced the execution of the order. Any supplements or changes to the afore-mentioned agreements will only become binding for Dreambeads after and in so far as these have been accepted and confirmed in writing by Dreambeads. The other party will be deemed to have accepted changes or supplements to agreements entered into with Dreambeads, if the other party has not objected in writing against these changes and/or supplements within eight days after he has or could have taken cognizance of these changes and/or supplements. The other party is deemed to have knowledge of the said changes and/or supplements and to have accepted these at the moment at which Dreambeads has commenced the activities to which these changes and/or supplements are related. Only the Board of Directors and possibly those explicitly authorised by the Board of Directors to enter into agreements on behalf of Dreambeads are allowed to do so.
c.1. Unless explicitly agreed on otherwise in writing, Dreambeads is entitled at all times to have part of the order or the entire order executed by a third party, on the understanding that these terms and conditions also apply in the favour of this third party, provided that Dreambeads authorises such third party in writing – even afterwards, if necessary – to appeal to these terms and conditions without this authorisation causing any obligations for Dreambeads.

Article 3.2 - Distance contracts
a.
Where distance instructions/agreements have been agreed that are in conflict with legislation then in force, and the other party justifiably relies on such, Dreambeads shall respect the content of the relevant legislation. This means that if provisions in these conditions which due to their general character in such circumstances are at any time in conflict with the relevant legislation, they shall be subordinate to such.

Article 4 - Liability and indemnity
a.
Except for the provisions of Article 9 of these terms and conditions, Dreambeads is not liable for any damage caused either directly or indirectly by the items delivered – including extra work – not being in compliance with the agreement, unless this is due to Dreambeads’s intent or gross negligence. Consequently, Dreambeads also does not accept any liability in the event of serious calamities, such as, but not limited to, fire, water damage and any outside contingency, such as war and earthquakes. The other party indemnifies Dreambeads against all claims by third parties in this respect.
b. If Dreambeads should be liable for any other reason for any damage under the agreement, the damages payable will not exceed the invoice amount (exclusive of value added tax) with regard to the respective goods and/or services, with a maximum of EUR 50.00 (in words: one fifty euros).
c. A claim under these terms and conditions does not suspend the other party’s payment obligation towards Dreambeads.

Article 5 - Period and location of delivery
a.
The periods of delivery mentioned in the offers, confirmations and contracts are to the best of Dreambeads’s knowledge and will be complied with as much as possible, but they are not binding for Dreambeads.
b. If these periods are exceeded due to whatever cause, the other party will not be entitled to damages, dissolution of the agreement or non-compliance with any obligation arising for them from the respective agreement or from any other agreement whether or not connected with this agreement.
c. If the delivery period is exceeded by a wide margin, at the discretion of Dreambeads, Dreambeads will enter into further consultation with the other party.
d. Delivery is ex Dreambeads company or any other location to be decided by Dreambeads.
e. If goods sold or services offered by Dreambeads are not accepted after they have been offered to the other party, they will be available to the other party for a period of three weeks. Throughout this period, the goods are stored for the other party’s account. After the period mentioned above, the total amount that would be payable for purchase or compliance, increased with the costs and interest, could be claimed from the other party, even without delivery of the said goods or services. The payment will then be deemed made as damages to Dreambeads. NB: In case of a transaction as referred to in legislation pertaining to distance purchases and the other party is part of the protected target group referred to therein, Dreambeads will respect the criteria referred to in this legislation with respect to the matters set out above in this provision.
f. If the other party does not comply with any obligation arising from this agreement or any other agreement connected with the order or does not do so in time, Dreambeads, upon informing the other party in writing that he is default, without judicial intervention, will be entitled to suspend the execution, without Dreambeads being held to pay any damages.

Article 6 - Transport and transport risk
a.
The choice of the means of transport is for Dreambeads to decide.

c.2. All the correspondence conducted by and on the part of Dreambeads with the other party and/or with third parties on behalf of the other party, is from the moment of dispatch at the risk of the other party, irrespective of the delivery conditions relating to the goods and/or services to be delivered by Dreambeads as agreed with the other party. The other party must ascertain that the correspondence derives from Dreambeads. Dreambeads cannot be held liable in any way by, and/or on the part of, the other party for damage and/or changes to and/or corruption of the content of the correspondence sent by or on the part of Dreambeads. Nor can Dreambeads be held liable in any way by or on behalf of the other party in connection with improper use of personal data by the carrier, the fact that it has become clear that the carrier secured these data insufficiently and/or did not destroy these data on time.
d. The goods will be delivered only to the ground floor. If goods are to be delivered at another location than at ground-floor level, the additional costs and risks are to be borne entirely by the other party. If at the time of delivery the other party is not present or does not appear to be able to receive the goods or is otherwise in default to receive the goods, Dreambeads will be entitled to convert the delivery into an obligation for the other party to collect the goods at the address provided by the carrier after the latter has informed the other party by leaving a written message to such effect.
e. At arrival or receipt of the goods, the other party has to check the condition of the goods. If it then becomes apparent that the goods or materials have sustained damage, he has to take all measures to obtain damages from the carrier. By signing the receipt provided by or on behalf of Dreambeads, the other party declares he has received the goods in good condition.
