Conventionally, it is stipulated that the short period referred to in article 1648 of the Civil Code or the short period regarding minor hidden defects is one month from the date of delivery or discovery and that any claim for indemnity lapses in the event of processing, modification or repair by the customer or by third parties, resale of the delivered goods, misuse or inadequate maintenance.

Claims of indemnity due to hidden defects cannot be invoked by the customer to defer or suspend his payment obligations.
Our warranty commitment is personal towards the customer. Consequently, if the customer transfers the delivered goods and services to third parties, these third parties cannot invoke the warranty directly against us. The contractual liability is limited to the amounts to which it is insured per claim.

20. The contractor is not responsible for damage or liability in the following cases:
In demolition works, we are not responsible for damage to non-visible pipes, tubes, etc. placed in the walls. No guarantee is given on repairs carried out.
Edge finishes (joinery, window sills, drains, pipes, etc.) are protected with the highest quality tape and the greatest care. However, we cannot avoid the loosening of poorly adhesive layers of paint when this screening is removed and are not responsible for any damage to the edge finishes when the tape is removed. Any repair of this, is not part of our contracting, unless otherwise stated in the quotation. It is advisable to defer any painting work until after the plastering has been carried out. Any differences in colour and texture of these repairs are not considered a defect in conformity since they cannot be avoided. For cracks or tears or loosening of plaster caused by "knocking" or "cutting" or other work carried out by third parties during or after finishing. Cracks arising where 2 different materials touch (e.g. tangents between stone walls and wooden walls and ceilings; tangents between concrete beams and walls and ceilings). If the necessary reservations were respected for the prescribed method and choice of materials. The perpendicularity, straightness and flatness of the work can only be guaranteed if the substrate meets the same conditions, or at least allows the desired result to be achieved with a maximum mortar/glue thickness of 1.5 cm. If this is not the case, the contractor is hereby released completely from any responsibility regarding the squareness, straightness and flatness of the facade walls. If the dimensions used in the quotation are based on an existing specification of the owner and/or architect, they will only be considered on an informative basis. We will always carry out our own personal, definitive measurements and check the dimensions once the work has been completed. For defects in raw materials, materials and products of a certain quality, origin or type and their processing, imposed by the client whereby the contractor has formulated reservations. For defects and damage caused by the user or successive contractors of the building after delivery. For damage to movable and immovable property adjacent to the building site that is the inevitable consequence of the execution of the work and that cannot be attributed to a fault of the contractor. He is therefore not liable for faultless neighbour nuisance. The principal shall be liable to third parties for such damage and shall have no recourse against the contractor.

21. If the execution period is suspended or interrupted by the client or his appointees or by third parties working on the client's instructions, the client shall owe compensation equal to the work already carried out and the materials already purchased for the site concerned plus compensation of 10% of the agreed contract price. In any case, a minimum compensation for loss of profit and expenses of 10% on the agreed contract price will always be due.

22. If an invoice is not paid on time, the contractor reserves the right to interrupt the execution of the work still to be carried out until the invoice is paid, without any compensation being payable by the contractor. The contractor shall decide when he can restart the work, without any compensation being due for delay. If the contractor suffers damage (both direct and indirect) as a result of this suspension, the customer will have to compensate him. If necessary, the contractor may cancel the balance of the work still to be carried out. In this case, the compensation shall be due as stipulated in 21.

23. If the invoices are not paid on time, interest equal to 12% per year shall be due ipso jure and without any prior notice of default. In addition, a fixed compensation for non-judicial collection costs of 15% of the outstanding amount, with a minimum of EUR 150, shall also be due by operation of law and without any prior notice of default, pursuant to articles 1152 and 1229 of the Belgian Civil Code. As long as the delivered goods have not been paid for, they remain the property of the seller.

Expenses associated with unpaid bills of exchange or other means of payment shall be charged to the buyer separately.

24. In the event of late payment of an invoice, all other claims against the customer that have not yet fallen due shall become due by operation of law and without prior notice of default.After notice of default, the contractor may dissolve the agreement by registered letter.

25. Except as expressly provided for in these general terms and conditions, the customer, for his part, shall otherwise have no right to claim ordinary compensation. For late execution, a fixed compensation of 5 euro per day with a maximum of 5% of the contract price is provided for if a written penalty clause was agreed in the offer.

26. Damage caused to the client by our company or an appointee must be reported in writing within 8 calendar days with a clear description and estimate. Such damage is no reason for non-payment of the invoice. Set-off against the amount of the invoice is excluded.
