3. Offers and agreements
3.1 Each and every offer, in any form whatsoever, of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL is always completely without engagement and can be revoked by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL within five working days after the acceptance by the Other Party.
3.2 Each and every offer expires — if this is not excluded by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL In Writing — after six weeks have lapsed since the date of the offer and the offer has not unambiguously been accepted by the Other Party, unless in case of an offer In Writing of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL a longer time limit has been granted to the Other Party and the offer In Writing has not unambiguously been accepted by the Other Party within this longer time limit.
3.3 Each and every acceptance by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL takes place In Writing so that, failing acceptance In Writing an agreement is not concluded, barring the situation where BMAIR INTERNATIONAL can demonstrate that as a result of an interruptive circumstance the Other Party did not receive the acceptance In Writing.

4. Prices and fees
4.1 All prices indicated by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL in offers, brochures, catalogues et cetera are without engagement. Possible discounts that are given by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL are valid once-only and do by no means have binding effect on BMAIR INTERNATIONAL in case of a follow-up assignment or later agreement.
4.2 All prices indicated by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL or stipulated with BMAIR INTERNATIONAL are net, hence excluding, among other things, VAT, import duties, other taxes, duties and levies, unless expressly indicated otherwise. They are moreover excluding the costs of packing, shipment, insurance and the like, unless expressly indicated otherwise. BMAIR INTERNATIONAL is authorised to pass on each and every change in these fees to the Other Party.
4.3 All prices indicated by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL or stipulated with BMAIR INTERNATIONAL are based on cost price determining factors, applicable at the day of the conclusion of the agreement. If prior to or, in case delivery takes place in instalments, during the delivery any increase occurs in these cost price determining factors BMAIR INTERNATIONAL shall be entitled to charge a corresponding price increase to the Other Party.
4.4 If a fixed fee has been stipulated and the Other Party desires changes in and/or additions to the assignment BMAIR INTERNATIONAL shall inform the same of the consequences of these changes and additions for the price.

5. Delivery time and delivery
5.1 The dates stipulated with BMAIR INTERNATIONAL when and/or the time limits within which the goods to be provided by the same are delivered and/or the Activities to be rendered by the same are carried out are approximate only. Overstepping of these dates and/or time limits shall never entitle the Other Party to compensation or non-compliance with any obligation by virtue of the agreement of its own.
5.2 The delivery time commences after the conclusion of the agreement, after BMAIR INTERNATIONAL has all documents and data required and/or to be supplied by the Other Party for the implementation of the agreement in its possession and after a possibly stipulated advance has been received by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL or security for payment for the benefit of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL has been provided. If at the time of the conclusion of the agreement the Other Party is liable to pay any amount to BMAIR INTERNATIONAL in pursuance of any agreement whatsoever with the Other Party the delivery time commences on the day when BMAIR INTERNATIONAL received all that which is due to the same in pursuance of that other agreement.
5.3 Delivery times are extended by the time that the implementation of the agreement is delayed as a result of force majeure. They are also extended by the time that the Other Party is later with regard to the implementation of any obligation than that which has been stipulated or that which could within reason be expected by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL. BMAIR INTERNATIONAL reserves the right to extend deliveries if a due date has been stipulated and the Other Party desires changes in and/or additions to the assignment.
5.4 The goods to be delivered by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL are deemed to have been delivered as soon as they leave the warehouse or the office of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL for shipment to or for the benefit of the Other Party.

The Other Party is not entitled to a possessory lien in respect of these goods.
6.4 If the Other Party fails to comply with the execution of the consideration then BMAIR INTERNATIONAL is entitled to take back the goods delivered by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL, where necessary by accessing the properties of the Other Party and/or third parties. If and to the extent that access to the properties of the Other Party would require the approval or the cooperation of the Other Party, by means of acceptance of these general terms and conditions the Other Party already grants and/or lends BMAIR INTERNATIONAL its approval and/or cooperation.

9.6 With regard to goods or parts of goods that BMAIR INTERNATIONAL purchases from third parties the warranty obligations of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL vis-å-vis the Other Party shall never exceed nor last longer than the warranty obligations of those third parties vis-a-vis BMAIR INTERNATIONAL. In this context BMAIR INTERNATIONAL shall be discharged at the moment it transferred its claim vis-å-vis this third party to the Other Party.

b) if the delivered goods were used injudiciously or not in accordance with the stipulated or common designated use;
c) if the Other Party does not, improperly or untimely comply with any of its obligations vis-å-vis BMAIR INTERNATIONAL deriving from the present agreement;
d) if the delivered goods have been affected by external causes, e.g. heat, fire, etc.; if repair or change of the delivered goods has, contrary to the guidelines in the
Manual, been carried out by the Other Party.

10. Repair and maintenance
10.1 Repair and maintenance of the goods delivered by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL is carried out in consideration of the provisions set forth elsewhere in these general terms and conditions, the Manual and the agreement with the Other Party.
10.2 Return shipments of goods delivered by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL can only take place if the parties have reached agreement about this In Writing. The Other Party is never entitled to refuse and/or return a whole delivery if a complaint of the Other Party is only related to a part of the delivery.

11. Liability and indemnification
11.1 Each and every liability of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL on account of the agreement with the Other Party is limited to the performance of the warranty activities specified in article 9.
11.2 Hence, BMAIR INTERNATIONAL is never held to pay compensation, of any nature whatsoever. An exception to this only exists if and to the extent that damages are caused by intent or gross negligence on the part of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL or its staff. Without prejudice to intent of the management of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL, liability of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL is, however, always excluded for trade losses, consequential and indirect damages.
11.3 In all instances where BMAIR INTERNATIONAL is nonetheless liable to pay compensation this shall never exceed, at the discretion of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL, either the invoiced amount of the delivered goods and/or the Activities carried out under its authority as a result of which or in connection with which the damages were caused or, if the damages are covered by an insurance of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL, the amount that is actually paid by the liability insurer of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL.
11.4 Each and every claim vis-å-vis BMAIR INTERNATIONAL, barring those that are acknowledged by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL, expires after the mere lapse of six months after the occurrence of the claim.
11.5 All liability limiting, excluding or establishing conditions, which in connection with deliveries can be enforced against BMAIR INTERNATIONAL by suppliers or subcontractors of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL, can also be enforced against the Other Party by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL.
11.6 The employees of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL or auxiliary persons hired by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL for the implementation of the agreement can rely on all defences borrowed from the agreement vis-å-vis the Other Party as if they were a party to this agreement.

11.8 A possible liability of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL expires if the Other Party does not fully comply with its obligations vis-å-vis BMAIR INTERNATIONAL.

12. Payment and security
12.1 Payment of the purchase price by the Other Party must take place within 30 days after the date of the invoice in El-JR, unless the parties expressly stipulate otherwise, which shall be specified on the invoice.
12.2 If so desired by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL or if immediately after the conclusion of the agreement it becomes apparent from circumstances that the creditworthiness of the Other Party threatens to be at risk, BMAIR INTERNATIONAL can desire of the Other Party that the Other Party pays the full purchase price of the movable property prior to the delivery date or that the Other Party provides sufficient security for compliance with its obligations prior to the delivery date.
12.3 The Other Party waives any right to settlement of amounts payable back and forth. The Other Party is never entitled to suspend the payment.
12.4 If the Other Party does not pay any amount payable by the same in the manner outlined above, the Other Party shall automatically be in default. As soon as the Other Party fails to pay, all other claims of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL vis-å-vis the Other Party immediately fall due and the default shall, without any notice of default being required, also have effect with regard to these claims. As from the day when the Other Party is in default the Other Party is liable to pay BMAIR INTERNATIONAL the statutory commercial interest in pursuance of article 6:119a in conjunction with article 6:120 paragraph 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
12.5 If BMAIR INTERNATIONAL is, as a result of non-payment by the Other Party, compelled to take measures in order to obtain the purchase price or a part of the purchase price the judicial and extrajudicial costs consequently incurred by BMAIR INTERNATIONAL are at the expense of the Other Party. The extrajudicial costs shall at all times amount to at least 15% of the total outstanding amount. By acceptance of these general terms and conditions the Other Party authorises BMAIR INTERNATIONAL to, where possible, immediately set off these costs.

12.6 Payment of a specific amount shall first be applied to the costs, then to the interest already due and finally to the principal amount and the accruals, regardless of the fact as to whether the Other Party provides other payment instructions.

13. Termination of the agreement
13.1 In the event of a failure of the Other Party to comply with an agreement concluded with BMAIR INTERNATIONAL, if the Other Party is declared insolvent, the Other Party files for (temporary) suspension of payment or loses power of disposal over its assets as a result of an attachment, a guardianship order or otherwise or if the Other Party does attributably not comply with any of its obligations in pursuance of these general terms and conditions BMAIR INTERNATIONAL shall be entitled to terminate the agreement concluded with the Other Party either in whole or in part by means of a notice In Writing addressed to the Other Party, without prejudice to the other rights of BMAIR INTERNATIONAL in pursuance of statutory provisions.
