The latter does not apply if the return shipment is approved by Clipper Interall. Returns are at the expense and risk of Client and never imply any acknowledgement of liability for Clipper Interall.

10.12 No warranty is given with regard to advice, preformed inspections and similar transactions carried out by Clipper Interall.

 

Article 11 Retention of title

11.1 If the Client has not fully complied with any obligation to Clipper Interall, title to the Products shall not pass from Clipper Interall to the Client in spite of delivery having been made and risk having passed to the Client. In such case, the Client is deemed to hold the Products on a fiduciary basis as bailee for Clipper Interall until the time that it has fully complied with its obligations towards Clipper Interall.

11.2 As long as title to the Products has not passed to the Client, the Client shall not have the right to alienate or lease the Products, or to charge them by way of security.

11.3 If the Client fails to meet his payment obligations, he shall be obliged, without further notice of default being required, to make the Products owned by Clipper Interall available, immediately on Clipper Interall's request. Clipper Interall and its employees shall then be entitled to enter the site of the Client to gain actual possession of the Products.

11.4 The Client must insure the interests of Clipper Interall in connection with the retention of title. The Client is obliged to compensate this interest in the event of a contingency and to assign his claim against his insurers to Clipper Interall on its request.

 

Article 12 Payment

12.1 Unless otherwise agreed in Writing and without prejudice to the provisions of the following paragraph,

payments to Clipper Interall must be paid net within 30 Days of the invoice date which period shall be deemed to be a strict deadline. Delay or failure by the Client in respect of collecting the Products or complaints shall not affect this payment obligation.

12.2 Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, all payments from the Client, however made, shall first be used to set off against the costs, then to set off against interest due and finally to set off against the principal sum of the unpaid invoices.

12.3 Set off or any other form of settlement by Client shall never be permitted without an explicit Written agreement.

12.4 Clipper Interall is at all times entitled to require the Client to provide sufficient advance payment or security, at its discretion, for the fulfilment of the Client's payment obligations, prior to delivery or to proceed to the delivery, whereby Clipper Interall is entitled to suspend further deliveries if the Client fails to meet this requirement, also in case a fixed delivery time has been agreed, without prejudice to Clipper Interall's right to claim compensation for damages due to the late performance or non-performance of the Contract.

12.5 If the client does not pay within the agreed period, he is automatically in default and he pays Clipper Interall interest in the amount of the statutory default interest.

12.6 The Client, who is in default must pay on demand any costs, expenses (including legal fees and disbursements and expenses of any debt recovery agent) Clipper Interall may incur in seeking to recover any overdue amount.

12.7 All Clipper Interall's outstanding receivables from the Client shall be immediately due and payable if the Client is in default, or in the event of the Client's liquidation, bankruptcy or an application for bankruptcy.

12.8 The Client must provide Clipper Interall with a correct VAT number. In the event that an incorrect VAT number is passed on by the Client, the Client will be liable for any damage suffered by Clipper Interall as a result. Clipper Interall shall reserve the right to charge the applicable VAT to the Client in respect of the Products/Services supplied.

13.4 The Client shall be obliged to indemnify Clipper Interall for any cost and damage, which Clipper Interall could incur because third parties make a claim against it in matters where liability vis-à-vis the Client is excluded in these General Terms and Conditions.

13.5 All clauses in these General Terms and Conditions and in particular concerning the exclusion or restriction of the liability of Clipper Interall and concerning the indemnification of Clipper Interall against claims from third parties, have also been agreed for the benefit of those who are employed by Clipper Interall or third parties for whose actions or negligence Clipper Interall can be liable.
