In these terms and conditions, the following definitions apply:

The Contractor: Previn Engineering, established in Bemmel, registered with the Chamber of Commerce under number 85047481.
The Client: the natural or legal person who enters into an agreement with the Contractor or submits a request to do so.
Agreement: any arrangement between the Client and the Contractor for the performance of work, including engineering, design and advisory work.
Work: all services to be performed by the Contractor, including mechanical and mechatronic engineering, detail engineering, product development, FEM analysis and project supervision.

2. Applicability

These terms and conditions apply to all offers, quotations and agreements between the Contractor and the Client, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Any purchasing or other terms of the Client do not apply, unless they have been accepted by the Contractor in writing.

3. Quotations and offers

All quotations are without obligation and valid for thirty (30) days, unless stated otherwise. Quotations are based on the information provided by the Client. The Contractor cannot be held to a quotation if it contains an obvious mistake or clerical error.

4. Performance of the agreement

The Contractor performs the work to the best of its knowledge and ability, in accordance with the standards of good workmanship. The undertaking constitutes a best-efforts obligation, not an obligation to achieve a specific result, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Any stated deadlines are indicative and never constitute a strict deadline. The Client ensures that all data and facilities required for performance are available in good time.

5. Changes and additional work

If, during performance, it becomes apparent that it is necessary to amend or supplement the work in order to perform it properly, the consequences thereof (including costs and lead time) shall be determined by mutual consultation. Additional work is invoiced on the basis of subsequent costing.

6. Prices and payment

All amounts are exclusive of VAT and any travel expenses, unless stated otherwise. Invoicing takes place on the basis of the agreed rate or the agreed fixed price.

Payment must be made within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date. In the event of late payment, the Client is in default by operation of law and owes statutory (commercial) interest, as well as reasonable collection costs.

7. Intellectual property

All drawings, models, calculations, designs and documents produced by the Contractor remain the property of the Contractor until the agreement has been fully settled. Upon full payment, the Client obtains the right to use the delivered results for the agreed purpose.

The Contractor retains the right to use the knowledge and experience gained during performance for other purposes, provided that no confidential information of the Client is thereby disclosed.

8. Liability

The liability of the Contractor is limited to the amount paid out in the relevant case by the professional or business liability insurance, increased by the excess. If no payment is made, liability is limited to a maximum of the invoice amount of the relevant assignment.

The Contractor is not liable for indirect damage, including consequential loss, lost profit, missed savings and damage due to business interruption. The Client remains responsible at all times for the final application, verification and approval of the delivered results.

9. Force majeure

The Contractor is not obliged to fulfil any obligations if it is prevented from doing so by force majeure. Force majeure also includes: illness, malfunctions, the failure of third parties to deliver or to deliver on time, and all external causes beyond the Contractor's control.

10. Confidentiality

Both parties are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information they obtain from each other in the context of the agreement. Information is deemed confidential if this has been communicated by the other party or if it follows from the nature of the information.

11. Applicable law and disputes

All agreements are governed exclusively by Dutch law. Disputes shall be submitted to the competent court in the district where the Contractor is established, unless the parties agree otherwise or the law mandatorily prescribes otherwise.
