Article 2 – Definitions
In these general terms and conditions, the following terms shall have the meanings assigned to them below:
Seller: Alba Food Trading B.V., as described in Article 1 of these general terms and conditions;
Buyer: Any party (individual or legal entity) that enters into an agreement with the Seller and/or to whom the Seller has made an offer;
Agreement: Any agreement concluded between the Seller and the Buyer, by any means, including any amendments or supplements thereto, as well as all (legal) actions for preparation and execution of that agreement;
Order: Any purchase order or request from the Buyer to the Seller for the delivery of goods offered by the Seller at the Seller’s location, via the website, or otherwise prior to confirmation;
Offer: Any proposal made by the Seller to the Buyer that is not general in nature but applies to one or several specific Buyers;
Delivery: The legal act of delivery;
Price: The amount payable by the Buyer in euros, excluding VAT;
Transport: The transportation of goods from the Seller or the location where the goods are stored to the Buyer.
Article 3 – Applicability
These general terms and conditions shall apply to all agreements between the Seller and the Buyer, orders from the Buyer, deliveries of goods to the Buyer, and/or services performed by the Seller. In other words, these general terms and conditions govern the entire legal relationship between the Seller and the Buyer.
The Buyer accepts the applicability of these terms by simply placing an order on-site, via the webshop, or by entering into a legal relationship and/or agreement with the Seller.
Standard terms and/or general conditions of the Buyer, including purchase terms, are not accepted by the Seller.
If an offer or agreement contains deviations from these terms, these general terms shall remain applicable to all other aspects.
If one or more individual provisions are deemed inapplicable, the remaining provisions shall remain fully enforceable.
Article 4 – Agreements
Agreements, regardless of their form, come into effect only after explicit acceptance by the Seller. This acceptance may include written confirmation or the commencement of the execution of the agreement.
Agreements made with subordinate employees without the authority of the Seller are not binding unless confirmed by the Seller or an authorized individual.
Once delivery has commenced per Article 7.1, the agreement cannot be canceled without the explicit consent of the Seller.
All stated prices are net prices, excluding applicable taxes.
Article 5 – Offers
Offers, as defined in Article 2.5, are non-binding unless expressly stated otherwise.
If the Buyer places an order without explicitly stating or clarifying the price, and the Seller executes the order, the price will be calculated at the rates applicable at the time of execution.
For webshop orders, the Seller will first create an account for the Buyer after receiving the required documents and/or information specified by the Seller. Use of the webshop and website is entirely at the Buyer’s risk. Login credentials are personal and non-transferable. If third parties use the login credentials to place orders, the Seller reserves the right to deny access to the platform.
Article 6 – Delivery
Delivery takes place at the Seller's location or wherever the delivery commences.
Delivery timelines, including agreed-upon dates, are not strict deadlines but targets. The Seller will strive to adhere to short delivery timelines. If the Buyer requires a strict deadline, they must inform the Seller and arrange their own transport.
Delivery timelines begin once the order is received and confirmed by the Seller.
A delivery is deemed completed if the goods are offered to the Buyer on or before the agreed delivery date. The signed consignment note serves as proof of delivery.
If the Buyer refuses to accept the goods after they leave the Seller’s premises, the Seller may charge the Buyer for transportation and/or storage costs. The Seller is also entitled to sell the goods to third parties while retaining claims against the Buyer.
Exceeding the delivery timeline entitles the Buyer to compensation only if they incur damages, which must be proven by the Buyer. Exceeding the timeline does not entitle the Buyer to terminate the agreement.
