Offers - quotations- making an agreement

All our prepositions, webpages, prices and diverse information shared with the client, do not for quotations and only count as information.

 When a client places an order, he commits to know and follow the terms and conditions.

The validity of the quotations in determined in the quotation. The non-accepted quotation within the posed term, stops to commit us.

Every change in the course of the execution has to be proposed and accepted in writing. If this has a reduction of the agreement as a result, we are automatically owed 10% of this reduction, in the name of loss of profit.

The documents, objects of our quotation, are strictly confidential; they cannot be shared or used. The calculations, subjects, monsters, models and drawings stay our exclusive property.

Our prices are always without VAT, except exceptions; the VAT is always at the expense of the client.

On a bigger damage settlement a success free of 7% is asked, this from a damage amount of € 5.000 exclusive 21% VAT.

Except when otherwise determined, our prices are based on the amount from the moment of the expressive order from the client, the purchase prices, the wages, the hotel or accommodation costs, the travel costs, public transportation, the social or public costs, the freight costs, insurance fees and other costs. All exceptional costs, e.g. Environmental tax, tourist tax or other costs like shipping costs, load and deliver costs, are at the expense of the client.

Unless the quotation provides another revision formula, the price will vary according to the next formula: p=P(0,40 s/S + 0,40 i/l+0,20) where p=adjusted amount, taking into account the fluctuations of wages and social burdens and insurance, and also the price fluctuations of the materials; P=price mentioned on the contract; s=average hourly wage in force during the state of progress monthly period, increased with the by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure passed total percentage of the social burdens and insurance on that date; S= average hourly wage in force 10 days before the date of the quotation (or: that is determined before the opening of the registration tickets), increased by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure passed total percentage of the social burdens and insurance on that date; i= index number in force during the state of progress until the calendar month before the date that is determined for the opening of the registration tickets.

A delay of a few days in comparison with the execution time will not jeopardise our liability and will not be a reason for a compensation on our part. A delay can only be a reason for a fine if this is expressively determined with the order and if the client also has proven the actual suffered damage. In no case can the fine be more than a 20th of the delayed amount.

Every delay, whatever the duration may be, which origin lies with force majeure, empowers us to suspend the execution of the agreement during the disturbed event.
