Article 3. Quotations and offers
1 All quotations and offers made by Second Owner are non-binding, unless a term for acceptance is stated in the quotation.

1. The sale of the Goods is based on the principle of ‘as is, where is’. The Customer fully understands the risks thereof and thereby accepts the current actual condition of the Goods.

2. Second Owner gives potential customers the opportunity on the indicated day, location, and hour to investigate the Goods before they decide to purchase the Goods.

Article 7. Delivery
1. If a term has been established or indicated for the delivery of the Goods, then this is never a strict deadline. If a term is exceeded, the Customer must therefore declare the default of Second Owner in writing. Second Owner must thereby be granted a reasonable term to still implement the Purchase Agreement.

Article 8. Investigation after delivery and complaints
1. The Customer is obliged to investigate the delivered Goods (or have them inspected), immediately at the moment the Goods are made available to him. Thereby, the Customer must investigate whether the quality and/or quantity of the delivered Goods corresponds with what has been agreed and is compliant with the requirements that parties have agreed on.
2. Any possible visible defects must be reported within seven (7) days after delivery to Second Owner in writing. Any possible invisible defects must be reported immediately, but in any case within fourteen (14) days, after discovery thereof to Second Owner in Writing. The report must contain a description of the defect with the greatest possible detail, so that Second Owner is able to respond adequately. The Customer must provide Second Owner with the opportunity to investigate a complaint or have it investigated.
3. Minor deviations in quality, colour, firmness, thickness, etc. of the Goods are inherent to the Goods that Second Owner supplies and do not constitute a reason to withhold Customer’s approval.
4. If the Customer complains in time, this does not suspend his payment obligation. In that case, the Customer remains obliged to purchase and pay the other Goods ordered.
5. If a defect is reported later, the Customer will no longer be entitled to repair, replacement or compensation.
6. If it has been established that a Good is defective and a complaint has been made in time, , Second Owner will, at its option, , either replace the defective Good or repair the defect or pay a substitute compensation for it to Customer.
