Artikel 1. Toepasselijkheid

  1. In deze algemene voorwaarden wordt Be-St Holland Products B.V. aangeduid met “de leverancier” en worden de (rechts)personen tot wie een aanbod gericht is en/of met wie een overeenkomst tot stand komt, aangeduid met “afnemer”.
  2. Deze algemene voorwaarden zijn van toepassing op alle aanbiedingen van en overeenkomsten met de leverancier. Uitsluitend door de leverancier schriftelijk aanvaarde afwijkingen van deze algemene voorwaarden kunnen geldig zijn. Algemene voorwaarden van de afnemer zijn op aanbiedingen van en overeenkomsten met de leverancier niet van toepassing, de leverancier wijst de toepasselijkheid van de algemene inkoopvoorwaarden van haar afnemer van de hand.
    Een afnemer die eenmaal onder de gelding van de onderhavige voorwaarden heeft gekocht, wordt geacht bij eventueel daarna geplaatste orders stilzwijgend met toepasselijkheid van de voorwaarden van de leverancier akkoord te zijn gegaan, ongeacht of een zodanige order schriftelijk is bevestigd.
  3. De nietigheid of vernietiging van een of meer bepalingen van deze algemene voorwaarden staan aan de toepasselijkheid van de overige bepalingen van deze algemene voorwaarden niet in de weg. De leverancier en de afnemer zullen in overleg treden om nietige of vernietigde bepalingen van deze algemene voorwaarden te vervangen door bepalingen, die zoveel mogelijk aansluiten bij het doel en de strekking van de nietige dan wel vernietigde bepalingen.
  4. Onder ‘schriftelijke’ dient in deze algemene voorwaarden tevens te worden verstaan de elektronische variant, waaronder – niet uitsluitend – een e-mailbericht wordt begrepen. Voor zover er verschil van mening ontstaat over het al dan niet ontvangen zijn van een elektronisch bericht, is de administratie c.q. zijn de logfiles van de leverancier bepalend.

Artikel 2. Aanbod en overeenkomst

  4. Indien door de leverancier een aanbod is gedaan, komt een overeenkomst tussen de leverancier en de afnemer eerst tot stand door het onvoorwaardelijk aanvaarden door de afnemer van het aanbod van de leverancier en/of door het geven van uitvoering door de leverancier aan een opdracht van de afnemer. Indien een aanvaarding door en/of opdracht van de afnemer afwijkt van het aanbod van de leverancier, komt aan het aanbod doorslaggevende betekenis toe.
