Application

These terms and conditions apply to all promotional discounts and agreements with lsDevign. By placing an order with or confirming a quote in writing to lsDevign, the customer acknowledges acceptance of lsDevign’s terms and conditions.

Quotes & order confirmations

All quotations from lsDevign are without obligation until the moment of written acceptance by the customer. Quotations remain valid until 30 calendar days after the quotation date, unless stated otherwise.

The agreement between the customer and lsDevign is concluded when the customer provides lsDevign with his written agreement regarding an amended or unaltered quotation. This is only possible by signing the submitted offer. Such written order confirmation binds the customer and replaces all previously concluded written and/or oral agreements.

While a quote may consist of a breakdown of services with each their corresponding price, it is not considered divisible. Such quotations do not oblige lsDevign to perform part of the assignment for a corresponding part of the stated price, unless, for example, a phased project is agreed.

The order will be executed after receipt of the advance stipulated in the quotation, unless expressly stated otherwise in the quotation.

Promotions, previously agreed discounts and quotations made in the past do not automatically apply to future orders.

Order cancellation

The cancellation of an order by the customer is possible as long as lsDevign has not yet started its work. In that case, the paid advance will be fully refunded to the customer.

If lsDevign has already started work at the time of cancellation by the customer, the customer undertakes to pay compensation of 30% of the total amount of the invoice. In this case, the advance already paid is included in the calculation of the total compensation.

Delivery

The date of delivery is considered an indication and does not bind lsDevign.

Exceeding the specified delivery date does not entitle the customer to compensation or price reduction, nor to termination of the agreement with lsDevign.

If both parties have expressly agreed on a binding delivery term, this term will be extended if the customer:

Remains due to late delivery of necessary information, documents, originals, images or late acceptance of improved designs.
Places additional orders.

Risks

All products owned by the customer and entrusted to lsDevign are entrusted at the risk of the customer.

Payment

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing in the agreement, the customer must pay an advance of 35% of the total invoice amount with each order.

Upon delivery of the order, the customer owes the remaining invoice amount to lsDevign, being 65% of the total invoice amount.

All invoices are payable on their due date (15 days after the invoice date) by bank transfer to lsDevign’s account number (which can be found on invoices, quotations and the lsDevign website).

If the customer does not pay within 8 days after receipt of a reminder to do so, the customer owes lsDevign late payment interest of 8% per year and a fixed compensation of 10% of the invoice amount with a minimum of EUR 100.00, from the date of reminder until full payment.

lsDevign reserves the right to suspend the further performance of its obligations until the customer has paid the overdue invoices.

Discounts permitted and confirmed in writing will expire immediately if these general terms and conditions of sale are not respected.
