4. QUOTES, OFFERS

4.1. All quotations, offers, and other communications from TLL are non-binding, unless otherwise specified in writing by TLL. The Client guarantees the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to TLL by or on behalf of the Client, upon which TLL has based its quotation or offer.

If necessary, the Client must inquire with the Chamber of Commerce regarding the authority of the aforementioned representative or agent and, upon request, will receive a copy of the written authorization if such authorization has been granted by TLL.


5. FORMATION AND TERM OF THE AGREEMENT

5.1. An agreement is deemed to have been concluded between the Parties once the Client has sent an order confirmation. After the order confirmation is sent, the Client has a fourteen (14)-day period to file a complaint. If the Client does not exercise this right to file a complaint, TLL will consider the order confirmation to be a binding agreement.

5.2. Furthermore, an agreement is deemed to have been concluded as soon as TLL has begun performing the agreement or has made the goods and/or services ordered by the Client available to the Client.

5.3. TLL has the right, without stating reasons, to decline to process an agreement entered into on the basis of an offer made to the Client, provided that TLL notifies the Client in writing within five (5) days of receiving the written confirmation of the agreement.

5.4. If and to the extent that the agreement entered into between the Parties is a term agreement, the agreement shall be entered into for the term agreed upon by the Parties; in the absence of such an agreement, the term shall be one (1) year.


6. PRICES

6.1. All prices quoted by TLL are in euros and exclude value-added tax (VAT) and other government-imposed taxes or levies.

6.2. TLL reserves the right to charge a deposit on returnable packaging (displays, pallets, roll containers, etc.). The Client is obligated to return returnable packaging within the agreed-upon period, empty, clean, and in undamaged condition, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If the Client fails to fulfill its obligations regarding packaging, all costs arising therefrom shall be borne by the Client. Such costs include, among others, costs resulting from late return and costs of replacement, repair, or cleaning.

6.3. The prices of goods are based on the cost prices in effect at that time. Any increases in these costs that TLL could not have foreseen at the time the quotation was prepared, the offer was made, or the agreement was concluded may result in price increases.

6.4. With regard to the services, the Parties may agree on a fixed price upon the conclusion of the agreement.

6.5. Subsequent orders relating to the price agreed upon in the contract are not included in the price specified in the contract.


7. BILLING

7.1. TLL reserves the right to charge a percentage-based deposit once the agreement is considered binding.

7.2. The amount to be charged as a deposit will be disclosed before the agreement is entered into. In addition, the deposit invoice will only be sent upon express approval of the designs submitted for approval, or if the complaint period is not exercised.

7.3. The balance of the amount agreed upon by the Parties at the time the agreement was entered into will be invoiced upon delivery of the goods.

7.4. For specific campaigns, TLL may use a different invoicing process. In this case, the invoice for the goods to be delivered is sent to and paid by the actual supplier of those goods.


8. PAYMENT

8.1. Invoices must be paid within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise in writing or TLL’s invoice specifies a different payment term.

8.2. In the event of late payment, the Client shall be deemed to be in default by operation of law. In that case, the Client shall owe TLL statutory commercial interest pursuant to Article 6:119a of the Civil Code, calculated from the date on which payment became due and payable in accordance with Article 5.6.

8.3. All judicial and extrajudicial costs incurred by TLL as a result of the Client’s failure to fulfill its payment obligations in full and/or on time shall be borne entirely by the Client. Any extrajudicial collection costs will be calculated in accordance with the “Decree on Compensation for Extrajudicial Collection Costs,” dated March 1, 2024.

8.4. If the Client remains in default by operation of law, TLL reserves the right to terminate the agreement between the Parties and/or to claim damages.


9. TERMINATION

9.1. Either Party may terminate the Agreement in whole or in part in writing, with immediate effect and without notice of default, if the other Party is granted a stay of payments—whether provisional or not—if a petition for bankruptcy is filed against the other Party, and if the other Party’s business is liquidated or terminated for reasons other than for the purpose of restructuring or a merger of businesses.

10.3. Force majeure includes, but is not limited to, fire, flooding, strikes, epidemics, (civil) war, terrorism, government measures, the failure to obtain permits (in a timely manner), trade embargoes, labor disputes, power outages, operational disruptions, failure or unlawful conduct on the part of supplier(s) and subcontractors or other third parties—including any defects in the goods or services they supply to TLL—and the unavailability (or untimely availability) or insufficient availability of materials, transportation, fuels, energy, and labor.

10.4. In the event of unilateral cancellation by the Client outside the complaint period specified in Article 5, paragraph 1, TLL is authorized to recover from the Client the deposit referred to in Article 7, paragraph 1, and any costs incurred up to that point.


11. TRANSFER OF GOODS

11.1. TLL strives to deliver goods in accordance with the delivery times specified in the agreement.

An agreed delivery time is not a strict deadline unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties.

11.2. If the Client determines that goods are being delivered in a damaged condition, the Client must report this to TLL within forty-eight (48) hours. In this case, the Client is entitled to a refund or replacement of the damaged goods.

11.3. The client is obligated to accept the goods specified in the agreement at the time they are made available to the client.

11.4. The risk associated with the goods passes to the Client upon delivery. Ownership of the goods passes to the Client upon payment of the amounts due for them.

12.3. In the case of a Reward Campaign, once the Client has provided the quantities to be returned, TLL will provide the Client with a return date. The Client must prepare the items to be returned—and, if applicable, any shipping materials such as a display or a pallet—for transport to TLL.

12.4. The Client is required to return returnable packaging within the agreed-upon period, empty, clean, and in undamaged condition, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties.
